SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI, Enterprise, Storage, and 5G/Edge featuring Data Center Building Block Solutions® (DCBBS), today announced the seventh annual Supermicro Open Storage Summit, a virtual event presented with theCUBE that will run from August 11 through September 3. The 12-session technical series brings together leading experts across the AI storage ecosystem to examine the data infrastructure required to deploy enterprise AI at scale.

"Enterprise AI success depends on a data infrastructure that can scale with growing model complexity and inference demands," said Michael McNerney, senior vice president, Marketing and Network Security Supermicro. "The Open Storage Summit brings together industry leaders from across our ecosystem to share practical expertise on building high-performance, cost-efficient AI infrastructure. Combined with Supermicro's DCBBS architecture, these insights help organizations accelerate AI deployment from pilot projects to production at scale."

"Enterprise AI is forcing organizations to rethink infrastructure from the data outward," said Rob Strechay, Principal Analyst at theCUBE. "As enterprises look to become token producers rather than perpetual token consumers, storage becomes a strategic platform, not simply for capacity, but for feeding GPUs, managing context, accelerating inference, and enabling trusted AI at scale. That's why the conversations happening at the Open Storage Summit are so important."

The summit will explore AI inference, agentic AI, hybrid cloud storage, AI data platforms, context memory, unstructured data management, neocloud infrastructure, and cloud storage services. Industry leaders from Supermicro and ecosystem partners—including AMD, DDN, Hammerspace, IBM, Intel, KIOXIA, MinIO, Nutanix, Scality, Solidigm, VAST Data, Western Digital, and others—will share practical recommendations for designing high-performance, cost-efficient AI environments. Practitioners from Crusoe and Iron Mountain will also discuss real-world AI and cloud storage deployments.

DCBBS delivers complete, modular AI infrastructure built from validated components and subsystems, enabling flexible deployment from individual servers and networking to full rack-scale and data center-level solutions, including software and services.
