In The Arena by TechArena is your source for authentic conversations with the leading innovators in technology. The show is hosted by long time industry insider Allyson Klein
Scott Robohn, CEO of Solutional, co-founder of the Network Automation Forum, and consulting CTO at Carahsoft, joins Hedgehog founder and CEO Marc Austin to talk about why AI infrastructure raises the stakes on network automation. They cover NetDevOps, the talent gap in network engineering, deterministic scripting versus agentic AI, and where reference architectures fall short at scale.
Heat has become the real ceiling on AI performance. In this episode of In the Arena, Allyson Klein talks with Matt Langman, SVP and GM of Infrastructure at Phononic, about why hotspots are multiplying across the rack and what to do about them.
In this episode of The Control Plane sponsored by AMI, recorded at the OCP EMEA Summit in Barcelona, host Allyson Klein sits down with Zane Ball, Chief Technical Officer of the Open Compute Project Foundation, and Colin Brix, Vice President of Marketing at AMI, for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of open hardware, the rising importance of firmware across AI infrastructure, and the emerging chip-to-grid era reshaping how the industry designs data centers.
Quantum computing is moving out of the lab and into real production environments. In this episode of Data Insights, recorded live at Xcelerated Compute in New York, Allyson Klein and Jeniece Wnorowski sit down with Alex Shih, VP of Product at Q-CTRL, to unpack what that transition actually looks like.
TechArena's Allyson Klein sits down with Trish Damkroger, SVP and GM of HPC and AI Business at HPE, for a look at the machines behind modern science and AI. They cover the convergence of HPC and AI, the engineering behind the Cray GX 5000 platform, 100% liquid-cooled racks reaching 400 kilowatts, the rise of sovereign AI, HPE's lead on the Green 500, the new NVIDIA collaborations, and what it takes to deliver a supercomputer customers commit to years before the silicon ships.
In this episode of In the Arena, Allyson Klein sits down with Bill Magro, Global Director and Chief Technologist of High Performance Computing at Google, for a wide-ranging look at where scientific and technical computing is headed. Bill explains how Google Cloud approached HPC by meeting customers where they are, letting researchers bring their existing binaries and workflows without rewriting for the cloud.
Networking has quietly become a decisive variable in AI infrastructure performance. In this episode of The AI Hedge, host Marc Austin talks with Hasan Siraj, VP of Products at Broadcom, about why the network functions as the computer for modern AI clusters.
In this episode of In the Arena, host Allyson Klein sits down with Rakesh Awasthi, a principal software engineer, to explore what it actually takes to modernize legacy data infrastructure at global scale and how AI has fundamentally changed the nature of that work in a preview of his talk at the AI Infra Summit in September 2026.
In this episode of The Control Plane sponsored by AMI, recorded live at the OCP EMEA Summit in Barcelona, host Allyson Klein is joined by Dong Wei (Fellow and Lead Standards Architect, Arm) and Colin Brix (AMI) for a deep dive into the chiplet economy, the future of firmware, and why open standards are critical to unlocking the next era of AI infrastructure.
Quantum computing is moving from research labs into the real world. In this episode of Data Insights, Allyson Klein and Jeniece Wnorowski sit down with Doug Finke, chief content officer at Global Quantum Intelligence, to unpack where the industry stands today and what comes next.
