The 2026 market for enterprise memory has been throwing significant curveballs lately. As a CIO, you need a clear path to navigate hard choices that you weren't expecting to have to make. Hear how companies in three different industries have successfully deployed proven strategies to manage risks, protect operations, and maintain progress despite supply constraints.

Get prepared to meet this unique market moment without succumbing to panic or sales pressure. As a 20-year veteran of the enterprise hardware market, Sachi Thompson's broad perspective will help you see beyond the typical OEM narrative. Whether you're staring down a just-canceled order or quietly preparing for future market twists, this webinar will show you how to stay focused on your business goals regardless of turbulence in the memory market. This webinar will explore:

• What's really happening in the memory market? How CIOs can distinguish genuine signals from OEM messaging.
• Effective approaches to buy time without pulling forward next year's budget.
• Ways to recoup value from existing hardware. Fully depreciated servers can still yield business advantage. Strategies such as buyback, repurposing, and life extension are helping mid-market and enterprise CIOs fund critical refreshes, avoiding or postponing the need to turn to capital markets in a difficult borrowing environment.
