75% of orgs have already deployed #AI for network ops. More than half run agentic AI systems that act in production. New Cisco + Omdia study breaks it down. Learn more ➡️ cs.co/6010BGenGq #Networking #Innovation

Is Lenovo Switzerland in the virtualisation debate? Enterprise infrastructure strategies are shifting from vendor lock-in to multi-hypervisor flexibility. As organisations navigate shifting hypervisor economics and the demands of enterprise AI adoption, Lenovo is positioning itself as a neutral party within the virtualisation landscape. My latest HyperFRAME Research Note examines how Lenovo challenges the virtualisation status quo by delivering hypervisor-agnostic infrastructure choices: ThinkAgile VX850 V4 Platform: Engineered to handle highly virtualised, in-memory workloads and the data consolidation required for production AI deployments. Expanded Hypervisor Choice: Delivers pre-validated Express Solutions across multiple hypervisor options and cloud-native platforms, providing tailored modernisation paths without forcing stack migrations. Tiered Deployment Services: Establishes Standard, Premier, and Premier Plus deployment levels to streamline physical installation, integration, and operational support. Incremental Modernisation: Facilitates the gradual integration of containerisation and AI workloads while preserving current infrastructure investments. Centralised Management: Utilises updated XClarity Controller 3 tooling to ensure consistent management across heterogeneous, hybrid environments. By prioritising openness and infrastructure choice over proprietary constraints, Lenovo offers a pragmatic architectural model for long-term IT stability.

.@RonWestfallDX and Evan Feagans offer different takes on $MSFT and its role in the AI buildout. Westfall sees the company as "integral" to the AI ecosystem, and Feagans believes more attractive opportunities exist in other hyperscalers, such as $AMZN. For more: schwabnetwork.com/?CID=SM:Tw…

Earlier this week, I connected with my good friend @jpatel41 at @Cisco Splunk .conf26. We talked about the importance of listening to customers, hearing the truth, and building a strong team that takes accountability. We also talked about the importance of security and observability in AI. We need to use AI responsibly, but we should not lose sight of how much good it can do. Thank you, Jeetu for the friendship and conversation. And thank you to the Splunk community for the warm welcome.

Thank you @CNBC's @cnbcKaren and Steve Sedgwick for the conversation today about the trusted infrastructure we are building to scale AI responsibly and Europe’s need to accelerate its investment.
Speaking with @cnbcKaren and Steve Sedgwick on @CNBC today, Nokia President and CEO @justinhotard discussed what it will take to scale AI — from the infrastructure needed to support it to the technology ecosystems and partnerships that make it possible. By combining trusted connectivity, AI-ready infrastructure and strong partnerships, Nokia is helping customers build and scale for an AI-powered future. Watch the conversation here.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7
