SUMMARY:From Megawatts to Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:with Sam HodgeGlobal Head of Energy, World Wide Technology  The AI Factory combines accelerated computing, enterprise orchestration, data, models, and operational controls into a single production environment.NVIDIA provides the accelerated compute and AI software foundation, Red Hat provides the platform layer for running and managing workloads, and WWT focuses on integrating the infrastructure, platform, data, and operational requirements into a working system.  About Our SpeakerSam Hodge is an energy and industrial technology leader helping companies to modernize the technology foundations that connect the field, plant, industrial edge, data center, and enterprise. At World Wide Technology, he leads the deployment of behind-the-meter power and data centers, Edge AI-ready compute, IT/OT convergence, and resilient industrial edge architectures. He focuses on translating these advanced digital and physical capabilities into measurable gains in safety, reliability, capital efficiency, and growth, drawing on extensive experience across operator, OEM, and advisory environments to connect corporate strategy with field reality.Within industrial operations, Sam solves data gravity and connectivity challenges across distributed facilities, from well pads and pipelines to refineries and control rooms, by deploying Edge AI, computer vision, and domain-specific models for real-time decision support. He also shapes high-impact “BTU-to-GPU” initiatives, architecting behind-the-meter responsible load data centers that combine onsite generation, microgrids, cooling, and accelerated compute to power AI factories, modernize infrastructure, and enforce Zero Trust OT cybersecurity.
