Backblaze, Inc. joined over 9,000 artificial intelligence leaders at the RAISE Summit in Paris, highlighting the need for storage specifically engineered for GPU workloads rather than relying on traditional cloud infrastructure.

The event, hosted at Le Carrousel du Louvre, featured discussions on the future of generative AI and data sovereignty. CEO Gleb Budman was set to speak on a panel dedicated to sovereign cloud solutions, emphasizing the industry's shift away from legacy cloud lock-in toward more specialized, performance-driven architectures.

Backblaze previously identified LockBit as the source of an outage, sharing lessons from a real ransomware response and backup risks in a recent incident. The company has also called on IT teams to use automatic endpoint backup to protect critical business data during employee offboarding, according to company guidance. These steps align with industry conversations around secure and resilient infrastructure.
