Event Overview

As enterprises are exploring artificial intelligence driven by foundational LLMs, SLMs, generative AI and real-time analytics, the need for a secure and agile cloud infrastructure is imperative. Most organizations are still in the early stages of defining AI strategies, use cases and deployment models that align with industry-specific needs, data sensitivity and regulatory frameworks.

This webinar, hosted by Sify, will explore how modern hybrid/multi-cloud strategies, combined with GPU as a service, integrated FinOps, and centralized governance through a cloud management platform, are enabling enterprises to build scalable, AI-ready infrastructure. The conversation will unpack how intelligent cloud architecture is driving flexibility, cost-efficiency and operational readiness in the AI-first era.

Discussion Points:

  • Strategies to build and deploy AI solutions with freedom and efficiency;
  • Designing hybrid/multi-cloud architecture for faster time to value;
  • Unifying visibility and control governance with FinOps;
  • Agentic AI for advanced orchestration and continuous innovation;
  • Real-world industry use cases and Sify’s AI cloud stack.
