Database Performance Unleashed: Where AI and Enterprise Meet

This month, host Andrew Miller invites SQL DBA and Microsoft MVP Anthony Nocentino (Senior Principal Field Solutions Architect at Pure Storage) to the virtual breakroom for the third time.

We’ll cover:

• The AI Shift into enterprise databases - Something many didn’t expect but makes sense once you dig into the reasons
• RAG architectures and relational databases - Exploring AI-ready, secure, and high-performance features
• Vector indexing in SQL Server 2025 and Oracle 23 AI - Real world reasons to use SQL Server (for instance) as a Vector Datastore
• FlashArray™ performance testing and data - So much performance for all workloads and especially databases. We’ll also share the results of recent performance testing from Pure Storage and its newest, fastest ever FlashArray - FlashArray//XL™ 170 R5

As always, we’ll keep it educational while exploring how Pure Storage offers capabilities and products that benefit you.
