If your strategy for a cyberattack looks identical to your plan for a tornado, your organization might be dangerously exposed. In a recent piece on The Data Wire, Everpure Americas CTO Andrew Stone challenges standard IT playbooks. True Cyber Recovery isn't about restoring everything back to normal over several weeks - it's about speed, precision and getting your minimum viable business operational in hours. When attackers actively target backup systems, compromise admin credentials and deploy firmware-level wipers, traditional disaster recovery backups simply fall short. Building true resilience requires dedicated, isolated recovery environments with permanent snapshot protections. Catch the full interview on The Data Wire: Everpure CTO Says Disaster Recovery Alone Leaves Cyber Resilience Exposed ------------------------------------------------------------------- 📣 Now we want to hear from you all: How does your team distinguish between Cyber Recovery and traditional disaster recovery? Have you defined what your organization's "minimum viable business" needs to look like during an incident? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!15Views0likes0CommentsNavigating Strategy Shift: Lessons from Virtualization’s "Three Waves"
The enterprise virtualization landscape has evolved through distinct shifts over the years, making long-term infrastructure planning a top priority for IT leaders. In an insightful article on the Everpure Blog, Matt Webb breaks down the Three Waves of competitive and market pressure that have shaped modern virtualization—from early hypervisor competition and the rise of public cloud to recent shifting licensing models. Key takeaways for managing long-term virtualization costs and operations: Infrastructure Change Takes Time: While application development moves rapidly, core infrastructure shifts are deliberate and require extensive lead time. Early planning, often 12 months or more ahead of renewals, is essential. A Refracted Market: There is no single "successor" path. Depending on business goals, organizations are choosing between remaining on their current stack, shifting to the public cloud, adopting alternative hypervisors, or modernizing workloads with containerized virtualization (e.g., KubeVirt). Control the Fundamentals: Unpredictability in software licensing makes optimizing the underlying storage and physical infrastructure one of the most reliable ways to control total cost of ownership (TCO). Whether you're actively evaluating new platforms or optimizing your existing stack, this piece offers a valuable framework for thinking through long-term infrastructure strategy. 📖 Read the full article: Virtualization's Three Waves: Where Do We Go from Here?FlashArray now supports ActiveCluster over NVMe-oF with VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1

Alt headlines to A/B test: The Cloud-Bill Killer? RTX Spark Puts a Full Petaflop of AI on Your Lap Local AI Just Got Serious: 128 GB and a Petaflop, Unplugged Stop Renting GPUs. RTX Spark Brings Data-Center AI to Your Desk — and Your Bag For the last few years, doing real AI work meant one thing: renting someone else's hardware. Spin up an instance, watch the meter run, ship your data to a server you don't control, and hope the latency cooperates. RTX Spark is a bet that the next era looks different — that the most interesting AI will run where you are, on hardware you own. And the spec sheet backs up the ambition. The numbers that matter to builders Up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance Up to 128 GB of unified memory Up to 6,144 cores of Blackwell RTX GPU Up to 20 cores of ultra-efficient CPU If you build with AI, two of these should stop your scroll. A full petaflop of FP4 is the kind of throughput that turns "let it run overnight" into "let it run over lunch." And 128 GB of unified memory is the unlock almost no portable machine offers: CPU and GPU share one giant pool, so you can hold large models and big context entirely in memory — no swapping, no artificial caps on the size of what you load. The workloads that used to demand a rack now fit in a bag. Why this is a big deal for AI work CUDA runs natively. The platform that accelerates the world's AI runs at full speed on RTX Spark — meaning the frameworks, libraries, and agentic stacks you already use just work. No exotic ports, no "supported soon." That changes the day-to-day in three concrete ways: Fewer cloud bills. Prototype, fine-tune, and run inference locally instead of burning credits every time you iterate. Your data stays yours. Sensitive datasets never leave the device — a quiet superpower for anyone working under compliance or NDA. Build agents anywhere. A genuinely portable petaflop means you can develop and test agentic workflows on a train, in a client's office, or off the grid entirely. For the wave of teams building agents and AI products right now, "local-first" stops being a compromise and starts being an advantage. A petaflop that doesn't need a power brick Here's the part that makes the rest believable: RTX Spark is built around the most power-efficient RTX chip ever made. That efficiency is why a petaflop can live in a slim chassis and last all day. Performance you can only use while tethered to a wall isn't really portable performance — and that's the trap RTX Spark is designed to avoid. When the work is done It's not all inference and fine-tuning. The same silicon makes RTX Spark a creator's machine — hundreds of creative apps and AI tools accelerated by RTX and NVIDIA Studio — and a genuine gaming rig after hours, with ray tracing, the full DLSS suite, NVIDIA Reflex, and G-SYNC. One device, three lives. The takeaway The story of AI has been a story of renting access to power. RTX Spark points at a different future: owning it, carrying it, and pointing it at whatever you're building — without the meter running. So here's the real question If you had a portable petaflop with 128 GB of unified memory, what's the first thing you'd run on it — a local LLM, an agent swarm, your own fine-tune? Drop it in the comments. I'm genuinely curious what this community would build first.166Views1like0CommentsDatabase Solutions Sessions at Accelerate 2026
