"The first is to have high-quality curated data on which the agents are operating so that they don't end up with a situation related to drift or poisoning of their results."

"the algorithms are only as good as the data that you feed them, and so it's super important that you have a really good data strategy and a data management approach that helps the algorithms understand your business better so that you can use it to drive business advantage."

"the third is really that we work with the industry ecosystem to build our platform, right? We're not trying to do it alone. And so customers have confidence that our technology bets are leveraged by coin innovation with the big cloud providers with Nvidia, with Cisco and others."

"you cannot innovate alone. The multiplicative power of innovation is when you do it with others, and we've always had both the quiet self-confidence as an organization that our capabilities are distinctive, but also importantly, the humility to know that to really land the impact of what we're doing, that we want to do it with others."

"We are engaged in four dialogues with customers. The first is modernizing data center infrastructure where we tell our clients to get to the promise of AI, you need a modern data center environment that can unify all your data, don't have silos, treat data as products."

"We had several practitioners here from life sciences and pharma where the regulatory environment requires them to have consistent procedure codes and consistent privacy mechanisms and clinical data organized in a particular way with metadata and quality in a particular way. And so regulated industries are actually growing faster with AI than unregulated, and a lot of it is because they've had the practice of doing AI."

"I want them to believe that NetApp can embrace disruption to make it an opportunity. We have done so with cloud, we are doing so with cyber, and now we're doing that with AI."

"maybe people think that the transformation will happen in two years, but actually if you look out over the long term or the medium term over a decade, it's probably more impactful in the out years than people expect today."
