Solidigm's Greg Matson on Data Centers, GPUs, and the Infrastructure Behind AI

Greg Matson, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing and Products at Solidigm, joins me to explain why storage is one of the most important and overlooked parts of the AI infrastructure boom. We talk about what actually happens when you use tools like ChatGPT or Claude, why AI training and inference require massive amounts of data, and how GPUs, SSDs, and data centers work together behind the scenes. Greg also breaks down why AI data centers are being built at such a massive scale, how much storage a single GPU can require, why enterprise AI depends on modern data infrastructure, and how Solidigm is using AI internally to improve forecasting, engineering, software testing, and product development. We also get into what this means for the future of work, education, and the skills people will need in an AI-first world. This episode is sponsored by Solidigm.
