The Hero of NASA’s Digital Transformation: Chief Data Officer Ron Thompson

From Mars to the outer reaches of space, all of these missions have been data mining expeditions, learning more about the Universe we live in. As NASA's capabilities continue to increase, so too will their data storage capacity requirements. The James Webb Telescope is expected to increase data collection needs 5-fold. In this presentation, Ron Thompson, Chief Data Officer (CDO) at NASA, and Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO at Pure Storage, discuss the role data storage infrastructure plays in bringing digital transformation to NASA. Discover how data plays a central role in NASA innovation from robotic process automation to artificial intelligence.
