Measure twice, deploy once: Qlik makes the case for disciplined AI value generation
The chief financial officer’s priorities have decidedly shifted. AI value is no longer a promise to be made — it’s a number to be defended. For most enterprises, delivery on that promise remains elusive. The challenge is not a shortage of AI ambition, according to Mike Capone (pictured, right), chief executive officer of Qlik Technologies Inc. ...
The AI-first workday is here, but is the data layer ready to handle it?
As “deploy fast” meets enterprise reality, data governance has quickly emerged as the bottleneck between AI ambition and outcomes. The disconnect is measurable. In their Agentic AI Study, Qlik Technologies Inc. found that while 97% of enterprises have committed budget to agentic AI, only 18% have fully deployed it — with data quality, integration and governance cited ...
The race to deploy AI agents is exposing a critical gap in enterprise data management
As AI agents demand real-time access to live, governed data, database lifecycle management has moved from a back-office task to a strategic imperative for enterprise infrastructure. The complexity of modern environments means developers can no longer afford to manage fragmented data silos manually, according to Ashish Mohindroo (pictured, right), general manager and senior vice president ...
Today’s applications, tomorrow’s AI workloads: Nutanix is building the platform for both, says CEO
The enterprise computing stack is undergoing its most consequential transformation in decades, as agentic infrastructure shifts from an experimental workload to the organizing logic of every new application. That shift is forcing a fundamental rethink of what infrastructure must actually do — not just host workloads, but orchestrate intelligent agents, govern data pipelines and optimize ...
Billions of users, millions of cores: Inside the high-stakes fight over end-user computing
A wave of legacy virtual desktop infrastructure replacements is sweeping enterprise IT, forcing organizations to rethink how they manage end-user computing — and whether their current approach to hybrid EUC can survive the rising cost of inaction. As the VMware ecosystem continues to shift following Broadcom Inc.’s acquisition, hundreds of millions of compute cores are ...
ServiceNow says agentic AI will redefine work — but only if companies get governance right
Autonomous workflows are fast becoming the next enterprise AI battleground as companies move beyond copilots and enter the agentic AI platform era, where software can act on its own. That shift is redefining how work gets done, but it is also forcing a harder conversation about governance, identity and measurable value. That tension is especially ...
Weka and Firmus target AI’s memory bottleneck with 6.5x token gains in POC
The next great AI race may be won not on raw compute, but on memory. With shortages exposing hard limits across data centers, AI memory optimization is taking center stage as a way to unlock more tokens, more efficiency and more value from the same infrastructure. What was once a backstage infrastructure concern is now ...
Sub-second search and smarter scale: Why modern SIEM is being rebuilt from scratch
Security information and event management has become essential for enterprises trying to avoid a costly data swamp while preserving visibility across massive environments. Clearly, modernizing SIEM is now less a technical upgrade than a business imperative. The pressure clearly is on to turn sprawling telemetry into actionable intelligence, without breaking the budget. The key to this ...
Inside what the modern virtualization boom means for enterprise infrastructure
Modern virtualization is becoming the new enterprise blueprint, bringing virtual machines and cloud-native applications together on Kubernetes. For large-scale providers, that means breaking down legacy storage silos and building a more flexible, protected and automated platform. The key to this transition is ensuring that data remains mobile and protected regardless of workload type, according to ...
With AI and quantum threats closing in on enterprises, IBM says don’t panic — but start moving
AI is transforming enterprise security on two fronts at once, forcing organizations to protect existing estates even as they race to embed AI into operations. The urgency extends beyond just today’s software. Quantum computing is approaching a tipping point that could undermine the cryptographic foundations of the modern enterprise, according to Mark Hughes (pictured), global ...
