The Costly Consequences of Cyberattacks: What End Users Say

Cyberattacks have dramatically reshaped how organizations conduct their business and structure their IT systems. That’s why theCUBE Research organized a first-of-its-kind summit in January with thought leaders from the industry. We covered a lot of ground with many valuable perspectives. We recently covered results from research stemming from the summit with our sponsor Dell Technologies. […]

From Tool Sprawl to Intelligence-Driven Automation

In this AppDevANGLE episode, Last9 CEO Nishant Modak explains how a data-centric, platform-first observability model helps reduce tool sprawl, manage telemetry overload, and control TCO in cloud-native environments.

Rethinking Modern Architecture From Cloud to Edge to Agents

Explore how edge computing, agentic AI, and secure messaging are reshaping enterprise architecture for a decentralized, real-time future.

Red Hat Summit 2025: AI, Virtualization, and the Future of Open Hybrid Cloud

Explore key themes from Red Hat Summit 2025—AI, virtualization, hybrid cloud, and the rise of VLLMs shaping the future of enterprise IT.

277 | Breaking Analysis | How Dell Is Riding the AI Wave While Serving Its Massive Installed Base

Dell’s founder-led business is one of the most remarkable and under appreciated stories in tech. Dell Technologies is not particularly sexy, nor does it put forth an earth- shattering vision that bends the mind. Yet it’s a company that has consistently figured out how to ride successive waves without becoming driftwood. And like Hyman Roth of Godfather fame, Michael Dell always seems to make money for his partners. Unlike Roth, Mr. Dell is not a gangster, rather he’s a gentleman that literally wrote the book on how to play nice and win.

In this Breaking Analysis and ahead of DTW 2025, we examine the question, how will Dell capture the explosive AI opportunity, while transitioning the millions of servers, arrays, and PCs it already has in the field to this new AI era?

Discussing Cyber Resiliency New Research With Dell Technology

Christophe Bertrand spoke with Brian White from Dell Technologies about cyber resiliency, following research involving 600 enterprise respondents. Key findings show that cybersecurity software is crucial, with 85% familiar with the NIST framework. Two-thirds of organizations experienced cyber attacks last year, often leading to disruptions. Only 12% fully recovered their data. Brian recommends enhancing resilience by reducing attack surfaces and conducting regular recovery training.

276 | Breaking Analysis | Salesforce Agentforce & Data Cloud: A Path to the Software-Only Hyperscaler

The Road to ‘Service-as-Software.’ Salesforce co-founder and CEO Marc Benioff is articulating a bold vision for the next era of enterprise software. In an exclusive interview with theCUBE on April 25, 2025, Benioff outlined how AI-driven agents and a unified data architecture will transform Software as a Service (SaaS) into what we’re calling “Service as Software” – a model where software-based digital agents augment every business process. The Salesforce chief has often quipped that today’s CEOs are “the last generation of executives leading exclusively human workforces,” underscoring his conviction that AI agents (what many call agentic AI) will soon work alongside humans in every enterprise. Our premise is that this “digital labor” revolution could be more disruptive than the cloud and mobile waves of 15 years ago, fundamentally redefining how applications function.

Agentic AI – Why Architecture Matters

In this episode of the Next Frontiers of AI, we delve into the array of new technologies fueling Agentic AI and why architecture matters more than ever. I am joined by George Gilbert, the principal analyst at theCUBE Research, who covers data platforms, intelligent apps, and agentic frameworks, to dissect the approaches that industry pioneers are taking. As enterprises seek to harness AI’s full potential, the focus shifts from GenAI and LLMs to sophisticated AI agents capable of autonomous decision-making and continuous learning. We’ll share our insights about the importance of building a multi-layered architecture of AI agents.

Join us as we explore the future of AI agents and their role in enhancing workflows and driving innovation in enterprise technology. We will discuss how agentic AI fundamentally changes the nature of what software can do and how it is built. It is a must-watch conversation for anyone just getting started with agentic AI.

Real-Time Breaking Analysis | IBM Think 2025: Arvind Krishna’s Enterprise AI Playbook

Our view is that IBM has crystallized a coherent, differentiated AI thesis based on smaller, domain‑tuned models running on an open, hybrid‑cloud fabric. The goal is to unlock what it claims is the 99 percent of enterprise data still untouched by GenAI. If execution matches the marketing—particularly on integration speed and cost transparency—IBM will change the perception from perennial AI underdog to a primary or even default choice for risk‑averse enterprises seeking tangible ROI. The next two quarters of Watsonx bookings and Granite adoption will tell us whether the strategy is hitting escape velocity, merely clearing the launchpad or needs a reset.
