Speaking
You Have Been Here Before.
Nick Howell is a 30-year enterprise infrastructure veteran who has been in the room for every major platform shift the industry has seen: the web, virtualization, cloud, containerization, and now AI. He is not a researcher or an analyst. He is a practitioner who has spent three decades building, breaking, and rebuilding production systems, with the last 15 of those years at NetApp bringing industry-leading storage and infrastructure solutions to market.
His talks are not predictions. They are pattern recognition. The thesis he keeps coming back to: every major disruption in enterprise IT follows the same arc, and the engineers who have survived every previous one are further ahead than they think. The vocabulary changed. The instincts did not.
Topics
- Computing, storage, and virtualization
- Cloud architecture, containerization, and Kubernetes
- AI inference and the infrastructure underneath it
- Career navigation in a shifting IT landscape
- Computer history, milestone moments, and the people who built it
By the Numbers
