Supermicro expands open storage summit with focus on AI workloads

SAN JOSE - Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), a prominent player in the Technology Hardware industry with an impressive 82% revenue growth over the last twelve months, announced Thursday the return of its annual Open Storage Summit, expanding this year’s free virtual event to include nine sessions featuring 40 speakers from 23 companies. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently trades near its Fair Value, with a market capitalization of $36.2 billion and strong financial health metrics.

The sixth annual summit, running from August 12 to August 28, will explore the evolving landscape of storage workloads and AI’s impact on modern storage infrastructure. This year’s event has grown from seven sessions in 2024 and will focus on AI workloads including distributed inference infrastructure models and enterprise AI applications. With the company’s robust current ratio of 6.66 and moderate debt levels, it appears well-positioned to invest in future growth initiatives.

Key topics include tiered storage for AI workloads, agentic AI storage solutions, storage-as-a-service for cloud service providers, and software-defined storage solutions. The summit will also address data lake architecture for enterprise AI and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) workflows.

"Changes in AI workloads, particularly enterprise inference and the impact on storage and data management, is a major theme at the Supermicro Open Storage Summit," said Michael McNerney, senior vice president of Marketing and Network Security at Supermicro.

Industry participants include AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, Nutanix, Solidigm, and Western Digital, among others. New additions this year include EDB, MinIO, Scality, and customers Iron Mountain and Voltage Park.
