0
CTERA unveiled the first IntelliVerse 2025, a free two-day virtual event on September 16-17, aimed at providing IT leaders, business executives, and technology professionals with strategies and insights to effectively manage, protect, store, and utilize data across complex, distributed environments.
IntelliVerse 2025 will focus on the importance of data readiness and leveraging AI in digital transformation and will spotlight the urgent need for enterprises to prepare for explosive data growth, increasing security risks, and the expanding role of AI in driving business outcomes. With global data projected to reach 181 zettabytes in 2025, the forum will address how organizations can operationalize enterprise intelligence to achieve efficiency, resilience and compliance in the years ahead.

“Maintaining outdated storage infrastructure poses significant risks for enterprises, making modernization essential to future-proof and unlock new value from their data,” said Karyn Price, Industry Director of ICT at Frost & Sullivan. “Educational forums like IntelliVerse offer invaluable opportunities for industry leaders to discover the best strategies for their organizations.”

IntelliVerse 2025 is organized into three distinct tracks tailored to the needs of different audiences. The General Sessions will feature keynotes and panels led by industry experts, delivering strategic insights and actionable guidance for all attendees. The Partner Sessions are designed specifically for CTERA’s channel and strategic partners, offering focused discussions on accelerating business growth and deepening collaboration opportunities. The Customer Sessions will provide CTERA customers with hands-on learning and product engagement, showcasing best practices and innovations to help them maximize value from their data infrastructure investments.
IntelliVerse 2025 will bring together thought leaders, industry analysts, partners, and customers to share expertise and real-world insights. Featured speakers include:
  • Karyn Price, Industry Director, ICT, Frost & Sullivan
  • Michael Hay, Chief Technology Strategy Officer, Americas, Hitachi Vantara
  • Trevor White, VP Advisory and Consulting, Nucleus Research
  • Alex Acilla, Principal Validation Analyst, Enterprise Storage Group
  • Brad Shimmin, VP, Practice Lead, The Futurum Group
  • Darren Sharpe, UK Marketplace Partner Lead, Microsoft

“In the enterprise race towards AI, it’s becoming evident that many stalled or ineffective initiatives stem from a lack of data readiness rather than AI challenges,” said Brad Shimmin, Vice President and Practice Lead of Data Intelligence, Analytics & Infrastructure at The Futurum Group. “Forums like IntelliVerse allow industry experts, including myself, to share insights on how senior leaders are looking beyond mere AI models and algorithms to build a lasting competitive advantage.”

“CTERA’s inaugural IntelliVerse 2025 is a forum for exploring how enterprises can prepare for the challenges and opportunities of a data-driven future,” said Cheryle Cushion, SVP of Marketing, CTERA. “As organizations face an ever-changing threat landscape, the never-ending growth of unstructured data across an increasingly distributed work environment and the transformative impact of AI, this event delivers the insights and practical strategies we all need to stay ahead.”
