Show Notes

The latest episode of theCUBE Pod finds John Furrier and Dave Vellante looking past the GPU race to the bigger shift: AI infrastructure becoming a full intelligence production system. Furrier and Vellante connect sovereignty, data movement, networking, storage and compute as enterprises rethink where AI runs, who controls it and why today.

The conversation moves from Dell’s infrastructure momentum and CoreWeave’s expansion to agent security, software disruption and the growing battle for control.
