Komprise Universal File MCP: What’s New and What’s Next
Thursday, December 3, 2026
8:30am - 9:15am

Join Komprise Field CTO Ben Henry on Thursday, December 3, at 11:30 AM ET / 8:30 AM PT for an Office Hours update on Komprise Universal File MCP. Ben will cover what’s new, what’s coming next and how to bring more people in your organization into the conversation with your data. You’ll also learn how to join the early access program and try it on your own data.

In this session, you’ll:

  • Get an update on new Komprise Universal File MCP capabilities.
  • See how one MCP connects any AI assistant to the Global Metadatabase, so answers cover NAS, cloud and object storage with no data movement.
  • Learn how to cut MCP bloat and token costs by filtering out irrelevant, outdated and duplicate files with Deep Analytics before they reach AI.
  • Review use cases, from finding research data by study and date range to spotting cold project data to tier, then acting on it with Smart Data Workflows.
  • Preview what’s next, including user-level permissions that let IT extend access beyond the storage team.
  • Find out how to join the early access program.

Whether you manage storage, run AI projects or want more of your organization talking to its data, this session shows you how to get answers, act on them and get started today.

Flash Stretch: The Storage Budget Relief IT Needs
Thursday, October 22, 2026
8:00am - 8:45am
New Use Cases: Transparent File Tables, KAPPA Data Services

Discover what’s new in Komprise Intelligent Data Management

Unstructured data is growing 20%+ a year, and most of it carries metadata that never gets used: DICOM headers, EXIF tags, ERP project codes, and other identifiers sit locked inside files, invisible to the SQL engines and AI pipelines that need them.

A 45-minute session on the new use cases now live on the Komprise Intelligent Data Management platform. With Komprise Field CTO Benjamin Henry, we look at how Transparent File Tables and KAPPA data services turn that locked-away metadata into something AI pipelines and analytics tools can search, filter, and act on directly.

In this session, we show you how to:

  • Query file metadata as SQL-ready tables with Transparent File Tables, so data teams can pull unstructured data into Databricks, Snowflake, or Teradata without an ETL pipeline in between.
  • Extract industry-specific header metadata with KAPPA data services, from DICOM and genomics BAM headers in healthcare to EXIF, XMP, and IPTC tags in media and entertainment.
  • Define a custom metadata extraction function in a few lines of Python and let Komprise handle the infrastructure across billions of files.
  • Store newly extracted metadata as searchable tags in the Global Metadatabase, so data scientists and researchers can curate precise datasets by keyword.

See both features in action against a real mixed-industry data estate. Whether you’re trying to feed governed, well-tagged unstructured data into your analytics stack or extract the industry-specific metadata your AI pipelines actually need, this session will show you what’s possible and explore other use cases made possible with Smart Data Workflows.

Office Hours: Analytics-Driven Unstructured Data Migration: Advanced Features
Thursday, August 13, 2026
8:30am - 9:15am

Migrations shouldn’t get harder as your environment gets bigger and more complex.

Join Komprise on August 13 for a live, 45-minute session focused where we will walk through the advanced migration features now available in Komprise Elastic Data Migration.

In this session, with Komprise Field CTO Benjamin Henry, we’ll review how you can:

  • Pause migrations in seconds, not hours. See the optimized pause action in practice, enabled by default, with automatic cleanup of partial file copies.
  • Customize your migration view. Configure which columns appear in the migration table, with preferences that persist per user while exports always retain full column detail.
  • Manage jobs in bulk. Run bulk actions across multiple migration jobs at once, backed by validation, confirmation prompts, and error reporting.
  • Migrate mixed environments in a single pass. Preview single-pass dual share migration for mixed SMB/NFS environments, which preserves permissions and case sensitivity.

Whether you are managing a handful of migrations or running them at scale across a complex, mixed-protocol environment, this session will show you how to move unstructured data faster with less manual oversight.

Office Hours Webinar: Unstructured Data Migration Best Practices
Thursday, May 21, 2026
8:30am - 9:15am

Data migration is a critical step in modernizing infrastructure, but without the right approach, it can be time-consuming, risky, and disruptive. Join Komprise for a hands-on session focused on Komprise Elastic Data Migration and proven best practices to simplify and accelerate large-scale data moves.

In this session, we’ll walk through how to plan and execute file and object unstructured migrations with confidence, including how to use Assessment of Customer Environment (ACE) insights to guide decisions and avoid common pitfalls.

In this session, the Komprise team demonstrates how to:

  • Plan and scope data migrations for performance, cost, and minimal disruption
  • Use ACE to analyze data and inform migration strategy
  • Leverage Data Stores to streamline and automate migration workflows
  • Apply practical tips and tricks to optimize speed, accuracy, and outcomes

Whether you’re consolidating storage, moving to the cloud, or refreshing infrastructure, this session will provide actionable guidance to ensure successful, efficient unstructured data migrations at scale.

Webinar: AI Data Workflows and KAPPA Data Services
Thursday, April 16, 2026
8:30am - 9:45am

AI initiatives depend on fast access to the right data, but most enterprise data is unstructured, siloed, and difficult to prepare for AI workflows. Join Komprise for a monthly interactive session where we introduce Komprise Smart Data Workflows and KAPPA data services and focus on how to automate data preparation for AI at scale.

We’ll review real-world approaches to sensitive data (PII / ePHI) detection, including practical regex-based use cases, and how these capabilities help ensure only the right data is fed into AI pipelines.

In this live session, Komprise will demonstrate how to:

  • Use Smart Data Workflows to automate data movement and preparation
  • Detect and classify sensitive data using policies and regex patterns
  • Filter or take action on PII before ingestion into AI pipelines
  • Build AI-ready datasets for RAG and other AI use cases, without complex ETL

Learn how to streamline data workflows, reduce risk, and deliver trusted, high-quality data to power your AI initiatives.

Smart Data Migration for File and Object Data
Thursday, June 2, 2022
9:00am

Speakers: Darren Cunningham, Steve Pruchniewski

File data’s time for the cloud has come, but the wrong moves can cost you millions.
A “smart data migration” strategy for enterprise file data means an analytics-first approach ensuring you know which data can migrate, to which class and tier, and which data should stay on-premises in your hybrid cloud storage infrastructure. Komprise Elastic Data Migration makes cloud data migrations simple, fast and reliable with continuous data visibility and optimization.
Join us to learn more about what it means to take a more intelligent approach to file and object data migration. In this session you’ll see a live demonstration of Komprise Elastic Migration and ask the expects questions about your unique requirements.
