#VDI isn't dead. It's getting a rebuild. A new survey from @RecastSoftware, @GetNerdio, and @VMblog found that only 2% of current users plan to leave an existing VDI deployment entirely in the next 12 to 18 months. But nearly half have made major changes to their VDI, #CloudPC, or published application environments over the last two years. The message is clear: Teams still need these environments, but they want better ways to manage, patch, secure, and support them. See what the survey reveals about the next phase of VDI modernization. vmblog.com/news/new-surve… #DaaS

Organizations are rolling out #AI agents fast, often treating them as software rather than accountable actors with their own identities. @VMblog talks with @Cohesity about why every agent needs to be tracked like a human user. vmblog.com/qa/black-hat-2… #BlackHat2026 Booth 4543 #CyberResilience #BHUSA

AI doesn't create competitive advantage. Your data does. The race to adopt AI has many organizations focused on models and GPUs. But lasting results come from something much less flashy: data that's unified, governed, and ready to fuel AI with context—not chaos. If your AI strategy starts with the model instead of the data, it may be time to rethink the foundation. 👉 Explore why your AI advantage is already in your data: purefla.sh/3R5FeT5 #Everpure #EnterpriseDataCloud #StoragePlatform #DataManagement #AI

Leadership is asking why you haven't automated yet. Vendors are promising AI that fixes issues before users notice them. The demos look good. The pitch is compelling. But there's a question nobody in those meetings is asking: what happens when it's wrong? In production EUC environments, an automated action that misfires isn't a minor inconvenience. It's an outage. And accountability doesn't transfer to the vendor when it does. The teams that will use AI well in EUC aren't the ones who automate fastest. They're the ones who build the deepest understanding of their environment first. That's the conversation we're having in our next webinar. How to use AI for diagnostics and session intelligence, with Stratusphere UX and CommandCTRL, so that when you do automate, you're doing it with confidence instead of hope. Register: buff.ly/KHnfbCd How are you handling the internal pressure to move faster on AI in your environment?
