Enterprise Connect 2026: AI Moves From Hype to Execution
Enterprise Connect 2026 highlighted a major shift in the enterprise communications industry. While artificial intelligence has dominated the conversation in previous years, this year’s event showed the market moving beyond AI experimentation toward practical deployment, governance, and measurable outcomes. Across the two days of keynotes, panels, and customer discussions I attended, the message was consistent: […]
Equinix Launches Distributed AI Hub
As enterprises move from AI experimentation to production deployments, infrastructure is rapidly becoming a strategic differentiator. AI workloads are no longer confined to a single cloud or data center. Instead, they increasingly span multiple clouds, private data centers, edge environments and an expanding ecosystem of GPU providers and specialized AI platforms. This shift toward distributed […]
AEO Diagnostics: Create an AI Discovery Advantage
AEO is becoming a critical new discipline in B2B growth as AI-mediated buyer journeys reshape how buyers discover, evaluate, and shortlist vendors. In this episode, Scott Hebner talks with Stas Levitan, CEO of LightSite AI, about why measuring AI visibility is not enough, and why brands must diagnose the technical, narrative, and trust factors that determine whether they are surfaced, cited, and chosen in AI-driven discovery.
The conversation focuses on three underexamined dimensions of AEO success: how AI crawlers actually behave on and off your digital properties, whether your brand narrative is semantically clear enough for AI engines to understand your value and relevance, and how effectively your claims can be validated through credible, citable signals across the broader digital ecosystem. Together, these factors are increasingly shaping which brands AI engines know, trust, and recommend.
Kubernetes Networking Enters a Transition Moment as Ingress Architectures Evolve
Kubernetes networking is shifting as NGINX Ingress transitions and Gateway API reshapes traffic management, hybrid infrastructure, and AI runtime governance.
309 | Breaking Analysis | Telcos’ last chance: Why the edge becomes hyperconverged
Our main thesis coming out of MWC 2026 is we believe telecom is staring at a once in a generation infrastructure reset. Carriers poured billions into 5G spectrum, fiber expansion and network modernization on the promise that faster networks would unlock new enterprise revenue. Bandwidth rose, margins didn’t. Connectivity got more reliable, but at the same time, it commoditized. Now, AI at the edge changes the economics of remote computing. A simple infrastructure refresh cycle won’t cut it. We’re talking about an architectural shift where the edge becomes more intelligent and goes beyond just moving packets around. We see the edge as the place where AI workloads run natively. This means security and policy are enforced, compute is managed, and systems are orchestrated at the edge, outside of the traditional data center.
Decision Intelligence Becomes the Control Layer for AI-Native Telecom
Decision intelligence is emerging as the control layer for AI-native telecom, enabling auditable automation, programmable networks, and outcome-driven operations.
Managing Open Source at Scale in Hybrid Enterprise Environments
How enterprises manage open source platforms like Cassandra and Kafka at scale across hybrid environments without sacrificing flexibility or control.
Special Breaking Analysis | Renen Hallak’s VAST Forward Keynote: A Vision of the AI Operating System
Renen Hallak opened VAST Forward – the company’s first global customer event – with a simple Hebrew phrase: “Know where you came from and where you are going.” While nostalgic, it was a deliberate attempt by Renen to communicate VAST’s next act – its “AI Operating System” ambition – in a decade-long sequence of architectural […]
Deterministic Modernization Becomes the Missing Layer in the AI Coding Era
Why deterministic, cross-repo modernization is critical as AI coding accelerates enterprise software complexity.
