Ep. 58 - The Hardware Hustle: Navigating AI's Pressure on the Supply Chain

What happens when AI’s insatiable hunger for data slams into a global hardware drought? 

This week, Phoebe Goh and Mekka Williams go straight to the source with Michelle Blint, the powerhouse behind US State and Local Education sales at NetApp. Michelle takes us into the chaos of the global memory shortage and spells out exactly how AI’s turbo-charged demands are blitzing supply chains from every angle.  

Find out why clinging to outdated CapEx models is a fast-track to technical debt and how flipping to Storage-as-a-Service gives you the upper hand. Forget buying a bloated five-gallon glass just to fill a cup; pay for what you use and flex when you need it most. Oh, and if you crave a wild side of personal news, make sure you stick around to hear about Michelle’s newest, four-legged family member. 

Don’t get steamrolled by the hype! Tap that play button and jump ahead of the pack. Download, like, and share The STEMINISTS Podcast if you’re ready for tech that doesn’t pull punches.
