Marketing slides don't run production pipelines—hard telemetry does. 📊

From #AIBigDataExpo, Stephanie Doyle & Maddie Presland cut through benchmark hype to reveal the real fleet data driving object storage selection.

Gartner predicts 60% of AI projects will be abandoned without AI-ready data. That is an expensive graveyard of wasted development hours.  

Centralize your ingest layer to turn raw data into a massive strategic advantage.

The platform pitch: one vendor, one console, one contract.

The catch: convenience can become constraint.

As AI and high-performance workloads evolve, modular infrastructure gives teams the flexibility to optimize each layer for cost, performance, and agility.

Best-of-breed is back.

Autonomous agents produce a massive trail of logs, artifacts, and memory files. Without orchestration, this becomes dark data—unindexed, unmanaged, and effectively invisible to your organization.

Ransomware doesn’t usually succeed because of one catastrophic failure. It succeeds because systems were designed for scale—not for adversaries.

In this piece, Kari Wilson breaks down what it means to create resilient systems aren’t built on assumptions of safety. For IT and security leaders, this isn’t theory. It’s design strategy.

The hidden killer of GenAI margins isn't the GPU bill. It’s data egress.

Production changes the game. Teams launch models and face massive, punitive penalties just for moving data across clouds. B2 Overdrive eliminates the infrastructure bottleneck. https://t.co/CpIcrc7dbK

Autonomous AI agents create a trail of unindexed logs and metadata. Left unmanaged, it becomes dark data. 🤖🌑

On @CIOonline, Jeronimo De Leon breaks down how agentic data orchestration saves this valuable data from vanishing:

AI traffic doesn’t move in a straight line; it booms and busts while quietly raising the average baseline.

Our Q1 2026 Network Stats report shows #Neocloud traffic dropping to 25.5% over winter before a sharp spring rebound.

Heading to #AIAINYC on June 4? Join Backblaze to solve the #GenAI data bottleneck.

Catch JD De Leon’s keynote: "Pipelines, Provenance, and Storage for GenAI Media at Scale." 🎤

Stop by our booth to talk throughput and zero egress fees. 📍

GPUs are only half the AI infrastructure equation.

The other half? A data pipeline that can keep them fed.

When object storage can’t deliver sustained throughput, GPUs wait, costs rise, and AI teams slow down.

B2 Neo helps AI clouds turn storage into a platform advantage.
