The AI infrastructure bottleneck: Why ‘good enough’ Kubernetes isn’t cutting it anymore
While security eyes are on the RSAC conference in San Francisco this week, the compute world is focused on KubeCon EU in Amsterdam. But the theme of artificial intelligence is the pervasive across both, as in enterprise information technology we’ve reached a point where “AI curiosity” has officially been replaced by “AI urgency.” Every chief information officer ...

The agentic workforce is here: Why Cisco just put a ‘Claw’ on AI security
The RSAC cybersecurity conference is this week and for the last two years, the conversation at the event has revolved around generative artificial intelligence — that is, models we talk to, and they talked back and act as a copilot. At RSAC 2026, there has been a definite change in topic as the world has been shifting ...

The agentic era: How Palo Alto Networks is turning security into a business enabler
For years, the relationship between cybersecurity and business innovation has been a zero-sum game. Security teams were the “Department of No,” tasked with slowing down adoption to ensure safety. Given the business pressure to get artificial intelligence deployed, the security industry has been trying to flip this script by rethinking security along platform lines. With ...

The convergence of context: Why Nvidia’s BlueField-4 STX marries the network and storage admin
For years, the “wall” between storage and networking administrators has been a fixture of the enterprise data center. I spent the early part of my career as a network engineer and the arena of storage was a bit of a black box, and for most companies, that’s still the case. This is because these networks ...

The AI workforce is now ‘hirable’: How Nvidia is rewiring healthcare from the inside out
As an industry, healthcare tends to be slow-moving and significantly behind others. There are many reasons for this, including budgets, availability of technology and the fact that any errors in healthcare can result in lost lives. Healthcare transformation has been a big part of past Nvidia GTC conferences, and it was again this year. In fact, ...

The intelligent green: How AWS and the PGA Tour are reimagining the fan experience through agentic AI
The intersection of professional sports and cloud computing has enabled leagues and organizations to accelerate innovation. However, the partnership between the PGA Tour and Amazon Web Services Inc. is currently entering a new phase: the hyper-personalized era. This week the golf world descended upon TPC Sawgrass for THE PLAYERS Championship, to watch Cam Young take ...

Beyond the plumbing: How Cisco and Nvidia are industrializing the ‘token economy’
The initial phase of the artificial intelligence gold rush was defined by “The Build.” Hyperscalers and model builders raced to secure every available Nvidia Corp. H100 GPU, constructing massive, centralized cathedrals of compute. But as the industry descends from the peak of inflated expectations toward real-world utility, the conversation is shifting. AI is moving from ...

The 6G horizon: Can AI finally solve the telco monetization paradox?
As one would expect, artificial intelligence was a top theme at the recent MWC conference in Barcelona, but 6G was certainly prominent as well. This year, the discussions has pivoted from the maturation of 5G wireless networks to the “seamless path” toward 6G. But for those of us who have spent the better part of two decades ...
The convergence crisis: Why AI adoption demands a new architectural blueprint
Enterprises are currently fighting a two-front war. On one side, there is an aggressive push toward AI adoption; on the other, an infrastructure landscape so fractured across edge, cloud and on-premises sites that scaling becomes nearly impossible. This “complexity tax” is stalling innovation. For the modern operations team, the dream of lightning-fast artificial intelligence is ...
Beyond the fan experience: How Wi-Fi 7 is redefining the modern stadium
For years, the industry conversation around stadium technology has been stuck on a single, albeit important, metric: How many thousands of fans can simultaneously post a selfie to Instagram? Though the “connected stadium” was once a differentiator, it has rapidly become a baseline requirement. I recently talked to the leadership at Ruckus Networks and the ...
