About this listen
Rob Hirschfeld is the CEO and co-founder of RackN, founded in 2014, focused on "addressing the messy challenge of operating at scale in physical data centers," according to his LinkedIn profile. Hirschfeld has had a front-row seat to the last decade of conversations in enterprise IT ops about bare-metal server operations and cloud repatriation, topics that remain hot as some enterprises look to move AI inference workloads on-premises.
Featuring: Rob Hirschfeld, CEO and co-founder of RackN
In today’s episode, we’ll cover…
- The recent history of cloud repatriation
- The VMware factor in enterprise bare metal decisions
- How generative AI workloads change the dynamics of self-hosted infrastructure for enterprises
- Why going back to self-hosted infrastructure in 2025 doesn't mean going back to 2005 IT management practices
and more!
