As AI models push computational boundaries with breakthrough reasoning capabilities, storage and memory must also evolve to optimize AI Infrastructure 2.0. From training massive models to enabling real-time inference, every part of the AI workflow relies on seamless connectivity between diverse storage and memory technologies.
Join Astera Labs at the Future of Memory and Storage Summit (FMS), taking place August 5-7 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, where we’re advancing next-generation connectivity architectures through breakthrough demonstrations and technical sessions that define how interconnects such as CXL®, PCIe®, UALink™, and Ethernet enable AI workflows from training to inference. This is where the industry comes together to solve the convergence challenges of connecting diverse storage and memory technologies into unified AI systems—and we’re driving that transformation through hands-on demonstrations, insight-driven panels and presentations, and expert networking sessions that define the path forward.
