The Ravit Show

I'm here at IBM Think Boston—and what a kickoff with Partner Plus Day. I had the chance to sit down with Bo Gebbie, President of Evolving Solutions, to talk about how their partnership with IBM is helping clients navigate the evolving AI landscape.We explored what it really looks like when technology is simplified by people, for people. Bo shared how “people simplifying technology” isn't just a slogan—it's a mindset that's shaping the way they work alongside clients to make AI, automation, and IBM technologies more accessible and actionable.We also talked about what's on the minds of enterprise clients right now: how to use generative AI to not just experiment, but drive real value—and how IBM's ecosystem is playing a key role in making that happen.This was an insightful conversation about partnerships, trust, and the human side of tech transformation. What are you most curious about when it comes to Gen AI in the enterprise?#data #ai #ibm #agents #IBMPartner #Think2025 #TheRavitShow

As organizations accelerate AI adoption and digital transformation, outdated data management practices are becoming a liability.In this episode of The Ravit Show, I sit down with Kamal Hathi, SVP and GM, Splunk Products & Technology, to discuss the findings from Splunk's new report: The New Rules of Data Management: Creating Value in the AI Era.Key topics we covered:- Why unified data visibility is still rare—and how to fix it- The cost of unnecessary data movement in a federated world- How clean, well-managed data improves AI accuracy and security- Why leaders embracing federation, pipeline orchestration, and lifecycle management are outperforming across the boardThis conversation is a must-watch for anyone building resilient, AI-ready enterprise systems.#SplunkSponsored #Data #AI #TheRavitShow

That was one of the big questions I explored last week in my interview with Michael Fasulo from Commvault at RSA Conference.We had a great conversation covering:- What the Recovery Range really is and why it's different from typical security exercises- How AI is reshaping cybersecurity—both the wins and the new challenges it's creating- What CISOs are telling Commvault about the real roadblocks when it comes to implementing AI in security strategies- And what Michael sees coming next in this fast-changing spaceIt's clear that while AI is unlocking new levels of defense, it's also forcing security teams to think differently—especially about recovery.More conversations and takeaways from RSA coming soon.#ai #security #rsa2025 #commvault #theravitshow

I had the chance to experience it firsthand today at RSA Conference — inside the Recovery Range by Commvault.I also sat down with Gareth Russell from Commvault to talk about what's really on the minds of CISOs and enterprise leaders today. We talked about: • What Mission: Recoverable is really solving for • Why recovery is the new front line for security • What customers are most excited about right now • And what excites Gareth personally about where this space is headedIf you're at RSA this week, do yourself a favor: • Stop by Booth 5678 • Try out the Recovery Range • Book time with the Commvault team to hear what's next in cyber recoveryReal conversations, real strategies, and one of the best hands-on experiences at RSA.This interactive simulation — called Mission: Recoverable — isn't just a demo. It's a full-blown test of how ready you are when things go wrong. And I have to say, it's one of the most insightful and realistic exercises I've seen at any security event.Register here to try it yourself — https://www.commvault.com/events/rsa-2025#ai #security #rsa2025 #commvault #theravitshow
