From RAG to Resilience: Building AI-Ready Data Foundations with Jim Liddle of Nasuni

What’s the one thing every enterprise overlooks when building AI? According to Jim Liddle, Chief Innovation Officer at Nasuni, it’s not the model, it’s the data architecture. In this episode, Jim explains why unstructured data is both the biggest risk and the biggest opportunity for enterprise AI. He highlights the persistent compliance gap around sensitive information, the challenge of fragmented storage, and the dangers of agentic autonomy without safeguards. Resilience takes center stage, with a focus on immutable snapshots and instant recovery to keep systems reliable. Jim also shows how agent orchestration works in practice, from splitting prompts to managing context windows. Looking ahead, he shares how Nasuni’s FileIQ and OpsIQ can help organizations build AI-ready data foundations without drowning in tool sprawl.
