Bipul Sinha failed his first shot at India's hardest entrance exam. His father told him to drop out and try again — the only other option was selling tobacco on a street corner.Bipul is the co-founder, CEO and Chairman of Rubrik, the cybersecurity and data management company he took public on the NYSE in April 2024. Before Rubrik, he spent four years as a partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, where he was a founding investor and board member of Nutanix and part of the team behind early bets on AppDynamics and Snap. Before venture, he was an engineer at Oracle, American Megatrends and IBM.In this episode of Truth Works (Part 1), he joins Jessica Neal and guest co-host Peter Clarke to trace the full arc: growing up poor in India, the exam he failed once and passed the second time, arriving in America with almost nothing, and the first 45 days at Rubrik when he couldn't hire a single person.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━THE ORIGIN STORYBipul grew up in a tier-4 city in India and wasn't a strong student. His father pulled him out of the local track and told him to prepare at home for the IIT entrance exam instead, an exam with roughly a 1% acceptance rate. He failed it once, passed it the second time, and studied electrical engineering at IIT Kharagpur. He took a job at Tata IBM to support his family, then moved to Atlanta for a hardware engineering role at American Megatrends before landing in Silicon Valley in 1999, at the height of the dot-com boom, where he and his wife paid $1,000 a month to live in a garage apartment.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━FROM INVESTOR TO FOUNDERAfter seven years at Oracle, Bipul moved into venture capital at Blumberg Capital, then spent four years at Lightspeed under Ravi Mhatre, where he backed Nutanix, AppDynamics and Snap. He explains the theory that pushed him from investing to founding: investors operate from a "state of intellect," founders from a "state of will." He left to start what became Rubrik in 2014, sat through 45 days with zero hires, and camped outside the Google and YouTube offices with a pitch deck until he landed his first four.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━TOPICS COVERED→ Failing India's hardest entrance exam, then passing it the second time→ Moving to Silicon Valley in 1999 and paying $1,000 a month to live in a garage→ Leaving Oracle for venture capital, and the $10M check Lightspeed wrote off a slide deck→ Early investing wins: Nutanix, AppDynamics, Snap→ The "state of intellect vs. state of will" theory of investors vs. founders→ Naming Rubrik after almost launching under a different name entirely→ 45 days with zero hires, and the pitch deck that turned it around→ Why the old world of cybersecurity is dead in the age of AI━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Find Bipul: rubrik.com | LinkedIn: Bipul SinhaTruth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal & Peter Clarke.

Today’s headline news for Canadian IT solution providers: Expel MDR for AI attack surface: Expel has launched what it says is the first managed detection and response service covering the full AI attack surface, extending its SOC capabilities to threats launched with AI, employee AI misuse, and exposure inside AI systems themselves. The company announced the expansion at Black Hat 2026, adding an Anthropic Claude integration that pulls enterprise compliance signals and prompt content into Expel’s detection pipeline. Expel’s operators work the prompt content itself to surface intent, not just activity, and the company has mapped its detection library to 13 of 16 MITRE ATLAS tactics. Expel Huntress CEO on autonomous adversary: Huntress CEO Kyle Hanslovan is warning that autonomous, AI-powered attacks have moved from theoretical concern to active reality. In an interview with CRN, Hanslovan cited OpenAI’s disclosure that its AI agents compromised the Hugging Face platform during testing, as well as subsequent Anthropic disclosures about its Claude Mythos 5 model, as evidence that autonomous hacking is already happening. Huntress, which recently crossed $250 million in annual recurring revenue, has built its business around protecting smaller organizations that lack enterprise-scale security teams. CRN Myriad360 acquires F3 Technology Partners: Myriad360 has acquired the assets of F3 Technology Partners, a Connecticut-based healthcare IT solution provider, pushing the combined organization past $1 billion in estimated annual revenue. While Myriad360 is U.S.-based, the firm services the Canadian market through its global logistics and international business operations. F3 brings deep healthcare vertical expertise to Myriad360’s portfolio, reinforcing a trend of mid-market consolidation that is creating a new class of “Super-VARs” with the scale to compete for multinational enterprise business. CRN Nutanix MCP server: Nutanix has released an open-source MCP server for the Nutanix Cloud Platform, enabling AI assistants including GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor to automate cloud operations through the Prism v4 API. The move follows Ingram Micro’s MCP server launch for its Xvantage marketplace and reflects growing channel investment in the Model Context Protocol as a standard for AI-tool integration. Nutanix Halo AI Studio and MCP push: PSA vendor Halo unveiled AI Studio and MCP integrations at XChange August, giving MSPs tools to build AI agents for service desk, sales, customer success, reporting, and quarterly business reviews. The company also launched an MCP server to act as a central interface across MSP tools. Halo partner John Douglass of Pileus Technologies said the AI Studio capabilities are “a game changer” for automating service delivery.

In deze aflevering gaan Ronald en Jan in gesprek met Eric de Witte, Cloud Native Solutions Architect bij Nutanix, over hoe moderne Kubernetes-platformen worden uitgerold en beheerd over virtualisatielagen, bare metal en de cloud heen. Eric heeft een lange geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de vroege vCenter-tijd, via de opkomst van container orchestration (Mesos, Docker Swarm) tot het huidige Cluster API-gedreven platform bij Nutanix.Het gesprek behandelt hoe Cluster API de onderliggende infrastructuurprovider abstraheert (VMware, Nutanix, AWS, Azure, bare metal), waardoor Kubernetes zijn eigen clusters kan uitrollen en beheren, inclusief self-healing nodes en complete procedures voor het afsluiten en opnieuw opstarten van een datacenter. Ze bespreken verschillende filosofieën rond bootstrap clusters versus een permanent management cluster, en waarom Kubernetes geen besturingssysteem is, ook al wordt het vaak zo genoemd.Een groot deel van het gesprek gaat over de huidige situatie rond VMware en Broadcom: de licentieveranderingen, de focus op grote klanten, en waarom veel organisaties hierdoor hun virtualisatiestrategie heroverwegen, ook al erkent Eric dat VMware technisch nog steeds een sterk product is.Daarnaast wordt diep ingegaan op de operationele realiteit van databases en stateful workloads op Kubernetes, de toenemende afhankelijkheid van operators, de uitdaging om interoperabiliteit te valideren bij elke nieuwe Kubernetes-release, en waarom backup en disaster recovery op applicatieniveau moeten gebeuren in plaats van puur op VM-niveau. Ze sluiten af met een blik op soevereine cloud-ambities, de kloof tussen on-prem en hyperscaler-functionaliteit, en Eric's visie op de komende tien jaar van Kubernetes: meer enterprise-adoptie, meer abstractie, maar ook meer complexiteit, waarbij networking-kennis de grootste drempel blijft voor nieuwkomers.Stuur ons een bericht.ACC ICT Specialist in IT-CONTINUÏTEIT Bedrijfskritische applicaties én data veilig beschikbaar, onafhankelijk van derden, altijd en overalSupport the showLike and subscribe!

In this episode of The Effortless Podcast, Dheeraj Pandey sits down with co-host Amit to dissect the dramatic acceleration of AI over the last few months and map out its next major frontier memory.  Moving past prescriptive frameworks and simple prompt-engineering, they unpack how autonomous agents are shifting the industry's focus from "token maxing" to "impact maxing," forcing a complete rethink of computing architecture. The conversation explores how memory within AI agents cannot remain a flat, horizontal file.  Instead, true enterprise intelligence requires a tiered hierarchy of memory spanning episodic, semantic, and procedural layers that mirrors human psychology and classical hardware caching. Drawing a striking parallel between token anxiety and electric vehicle range anxiety, they make the case for a hybrid CPU-GPU future where structured data, governance, and safety rollbacks are critical to preventing autonomous systems from breaking the bank or deleting databases. Key Topics & Timestamps 00:00 – Summer updates and AI's recent "quantum jump". 01:00 – Token maxing vs. impact maxing & autonomous React loops. 03:00 – Model reliability & using Grep, Sed, and Awk for dynamic context. 07:00 – Terminal text-matching tools explained simply. 08:00 – xAI, data center builds, and Neocloud disruption. 10:00 – Cursor's acquisition & the shift to autonomous harnesses. 12:00 – Desktop hurdles: Sandboxing, Docker, and local firewalls. 14:00 – Coding for the "paranoid path" and failure modes. 18:00 – The Core Thesis: Memory as AI's next major frontier. 21:00 – Caching tiers: KV cache vs. CPU/GPU caches and DRAM. 25:00 – Personal vs. enterprise memory: Turning data into goal-oriented meaning. 32:00 – Enterprise memory grammar: Ontology, identity, and work. 41:00 – Psychology of memory: Episodic, semantic, and procedural structures. 45:00 – Hybrid CPU-GPU needs & the EV range anxiety metaphor. 53:00 – Agent safety: Rollbacks, versioning, and transaction protection. 58:00 – Team intelligence: Bringing AI context to Slack and Teams. 1:01:00 – State vs. skill versioning: The derivative of human intelligence. 1:03:00 – Summary: Memory as data reduction & reinforcement learning. 1:09:00 – Final thoughts: Managing atoms vs. bits & the future of labor. Hosts: Amit Prakash – CEO and Founder at AmpUp, former engineer at Google AdSense and Microsoft Bing, with extensive expertise in distributed systems and machine learning.

Disaster recovery is no longer just about backups. It is about resiliency, recovery speed, cyber readiness, and operational flexibility.In this episode of Nutanix Weekly, Phil Sellers is joined by Andy Greene and Chris Calhoun from XenTegra to break down Nutanix Multi-Cloud Snapshot Technology (MST) and how organizations are using it to modernize disaster recovery without overspending on infrastructure.The conversation explores how MST enables organizations to replicate snapshots to S3-compatible storage providers like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud, Wasabi, Backblaze, and Nutanix Objects to improve resiliency, optimize storage costs, and simplify long-term retention.The team also discusses:Nutanix Instant Restore in NCI 7.5.1Faster VM recovery and improved availabilityRansomware and clean room recovery strategiesPilot light vs. zero compute DR modelsHybrid cloud resiliencyLong-term snapshot retentionBalancing recovery objectives with budget realitiesWhether you are building a modern DR strategy or evaluating new approaches to cyber resilience, this episode provides practical insight into how Nutanix MST helps organizations stay available when it matters most.

Dan Ciruli is VP and General Manager of Cloud Native at Nutanix. A computer science graduate of UC Berkeley, Dan spent a decade in engineering before pivoting to product management in 2003, a role that barely had a name when he started. Since then he has held product leadership positions at EMC and Google, where he was part of the team that helped create Kubernetes and open source Google's cloud infrastructure.He was a founding member of the OpenAPI Initiative and a steering committee member for the Istio service mesh project, and has spent the last two decades with one foot in commercial product development and one in the open source community.In this episode, Dan explains why open source is not a charity exercise, how companies actually make money from code they give away for free, and what product managers get wrong when they tell their engineers to avoid it.Key takeaways— Open source is not crowdsourcing from individuals — much of the contribution comes from companies investing on the clock, because broad adoption benefits everyone more than proprietary lock-in.— The CNCF succeeded because it created a neutral space where the largest and smallest organisations felt equally safe contributing and consuming. That structure — not the code itself — is what made cloud native computing universal.— Being a product manager in open source requires the same core instinct as any other PM role: understanding the why. The difference is that your engineers may work for a competitor, and your roadmap is not entirely yours to control.— AI is multiplying the capability of both good actors and bad actors in open source security. The answer is not to slow adoption but to keep a credible human in the loop — someone with accumulated trust, judgement and accountability.— Before open sourcing your own work, be clear on how your company will make money, articulate it concisely for leadership, and then find at least one other organisation — even a competitor — willing to join you. A consortium signals a standard. A solo release signals a gamble.Chapters1:16 — From engineering to product management3:11 — Bridging open source and commercial work5:05 — The origin of Kubernetes at Google6:35 — How Nutanix embraces open source7:16 — The crowdsourcing misconception8:51 — Why the CNCF changed everything11:25 — Building a defensible moat in open source12:13 — The business models behind free code14:18 — Managing roadmaps you don't fully control15:04 — When your competitor writes your code16:04 — The CEO who wore his secrets around his neck18:13 — Developing an open source strategy19:37 — The one question every PM must ask22:44 — What is the CNCF?23:34 — AI, open source and the security arms race29:45 — Chop wood, carry water: the human in the loop31:48 — Advice for PMs running open source products33:15 — Harnessing a community you don't manage34:38 — Should you open source your own work?36:35 — How messy does it really get?39:33 — Linux is an anti-patternOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

What does it take to build a company that industry giants want to buy?Poojan Kumar built and exited two enterprise infrastructure companies, PernixData to Nutanix and Clumio to Commvault.He began his career at Oracle, where he wrote the original code for Exadata and helped scale it into a billion-dollar product line. But his real founder journey began when he left the corporate world to chase what he calls the “Discontinuity Thesis.”At PernixData, that discontinuity was the shift from hard disks to flash storage. The company scaled to $25 million in revenue before being acquired by Nutanix. At Clumio, the discontinuity was public cloud. Clumio went on to raise $186 million to build a cloud-native backup and cyber resilience platform before being acquired by Commvault, where Poojan now serves as GM of the business line.If you want to understand how enduring enterprise companies are actually built and acquired this episode is for you.0:00 - Trailer0:48 - 25 Years in Enterprise03:02 - Founders Should Look for Discontinuity04:25 - $25M ARR, $60M Funding & an Exit in 6 Years06:28 - The Thesis Behind Clumio's Acquisition07:36 - The Landscape of Data Backup09:08 - What Should Founders in Security & Data Build?11:48 - Cloud vs AI: The New Data & Storage Stack13:59 - The Unanswered Questions Enterprises Have Today16:38 - How Infra Changed Between Pernix, Clumio & Today18:31 - Scaling to $25M Before Acquisition, Twice20:43 - Why is AI Adoption Bottom-Up, Not Top-Down?21:26 - Claude vs Codex vs Copilot22:34 - When Cloud Outgrew the Backup Playbook25:41 - Are Fragmented Clouds Silent Killers?28:06 - Fundraising Takes You from Point A to Point B32:29 - Selling to Commvault vs Nutanix34:33 - What Leads to an 8-Figure Exit?36:55 - How a Technical Founder Excelled at Sales-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

From employee #16 to $1B ARR at Nutanix, then scaling ThoughtSpot to $150M ARR and a $4B+ valuation now building for a world where agents will drive the internet.Sudheesh Nair joins the Neon Show.The internet as we see it today was optimized around human strengths and weaknesses, using algorithms to monetize our greed and fear. But as agents take up more of the internet, that playbook starts to break. We are moving from a web of discovery to an outcome-driven internet, where agents care only about the destination, not the journey.As an operator who has scaled companies, Sudheesh believes sales is a noble profession where there is no middle ground. You are either a hero or a zero. Sales is not a function at the edge of the company, it is the primary job of every employee in a company. When that happens, teams stop acting like mercenaries chasing targets and start behaving like missionaries focused on customer outcomes.Beyond agents, we also discuss building companies and whether there are right or wrong reasons to start. Sudheesh's view is simple. There are no right or wrong reasons, but you have to be brutally honest with yourself about why you are doing it.This episode is one hour of clear thinking on agents, sales, and the realities of company building.00:00 – Trailer01:49 – What % of the internet is agents today?10:25 – How far are we from trillions of agents?12:47 – Why isn't the internet ready for agents?18:31 – Consumer is a tough game19:49 – Selling to enterprises = high value / low risk22:14 – A noble profession with only heroes or zeroes24:41 – Only 3 reasons why people buy anything26:14 – How we got Fortune 500 customers in just 18 months27:28 – The wrong reasons to start a company31:05 – Cursor vs Claude vs Codex34:30 – Do investors prefer failed founders over first-time founders?35:06 – 3 reasons why an enterprise will sign your startup39:52 – PMF has to be proven every day41:21 – What's the play b/w OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic?45:12 – Drivers vs passengers in companies47:17 – The muscles you build as an operator50:45 – Hire one person when you actually need four51:41 – Why is marketing the most in-demand skill?53:50 – Nutanix: from 0 to $1B ARR in 26 quarters54:55 – The hardest choice Nutanix made59:25 – Talent is universal.

What does it really take to build the next generation of AI companies when the hype around scale begins to fade and real-world impact takes center stage? In this episode, I sit down with David Blumberg, founder and managing partner at Blumberg Capital, to unpack what he believes will define the next wave of AI startups. With a track record that includes being the first investor in companies like Nutanix, Braze, and DoubleVerify, David brings a perspective shaped by decades of identifying breakout innovation early. But what stood out most in our conversation was his belief that 2026 marks a turning point where intelligence moves beyond experimentation and becomes operational. We explore what that shift actually means in practice. David explains how AI is evolving from systems that generate insights into systems that take action, and why that distinction matters for founders, investors, and enterprise leaders alike. He shares how the most compelling startups today are not simply layering AI onto existing products, but embedding it deeply into workflows across industries like finance, security, and supply chain. These are companies built on proprietary data and real operational context, designed to make decisions with precision rather than simply process information. Our conversation also challenges some widely held assumptions about success in the AI space. David makes it clear that scale alone will not separate winners from the rest. Instead, the focus is shifting toward accuracy, reliability, and domain expertise. Founders who have lived the problems they are solving, rather than approaching them from the outside, are far more likely to build something defensible and lasting. It is a subtle shift, but one that could redefine how value is created in the years ahead. There is also a broader discussion about where investment is flowing and why. With the vast majority of companies Blumberg Capital now evaluates being rooted in AI, the bar for differentiation is rising fast. David offers insight into what his team is really looking for in founders entering this next cycle, and how startups can stand out in an increasingly crowded field. So as AI moves from promise to execution, and from experimentation to real-world outcomes, the question becomes harder to ignore. Are we ready to rethink how we measure success in the AI era, and what kind of companies will truly earn their place at the top?

AI is forcing enterprises to rethink everything from hardware to governance, and most organizations are attacking it in silos. Mano Bhattacharyya (CTO, Nutanix) breaks down why AI isn't just an application layer problem, but an end-to-end transformation that spans compute (GPUs, ARM, DPUs), data management (unclean enterprise data, knowledge graphs), security (agent gateways, MCP server risks), and economics (token costs vs. usage explosion). He explains why CIOs need cross-functional AI committees, not isolated strategies, and why use case driven AI beats exploratory projects that burn budgets in months. The solution is to form AI committees where CIO, CTO, and CDO work together, not in silos. Focus on use case driven AI by learning from peers, rather than exploratory AI that becomes a budget trap. Start with small prototypes with dedicated use cases, not a free-for-all where every team tries something.   Chapters: 0:00 AI as an End-to-End Infrastructure Challenge 2:16 Networking, Storage, and Bare Metal VM Performance 4:43 Agent Security, Gateways, and Enterprise Governance 6:33 Use Case Driven AI and Learning from Peers -- This episode of IT Visionaries is brought to you by Meter - the company building better networks.

The Pure Report podcast went on location to the Pittsburgh Pure User Group, set against the backdrop of the Ohio River, to celebrate the GA launch of the Everpure and Nutanix solution. We interviewed a lineup of guests—including David Stevens, Expedient's Rob McCafferty, Don Poorman, and Systems Engineer Adam Hill—who all gathered with customers and partners to discuss the excitement surrounding the new offering. Stevens emphasized the highly integrated nature of the solution, which simplifies setup to just a few operations on the array and in Nutanix . The momentum around the solution is growing - a month after the GA announcement, this event is the perfect forum to answer customer questions and showcase the solution's ease of use and ability to replicate the operational experience virtualization administrators prefer. Our discussion shifts to the business value of the solution, specifically addressing customer challenges like finding alternatives to existing virtualization platforms, reducing costs, and hedging bets against recent industry changes. Guests note that the new architecture helps organizations keep data on-premises to meet regulatory requirements, while still enabling them to burst new workloads into the cloud. The episode features Rob McCafferty, Chief Solutions Officer at Expedient, who details their role as a beta customer and launch partner for the Pure and Nutanix offering. Expedient, a long-time customer of both companies, is thrilled to provide clients with the flexibility and the optionality unlocked by bringing together two industry leaders, with clients already in the queue for deployment. Expedient focuses on delivering reduced risk, cost control, and stability in their platforms for clients. The episode concludes by focusing on the power of Pure user groups, which are described as crucial venues for peer-to-peer interaction and sharing knowledge about topics like cyber, AI, and virtualization. Technical Evangelist Don Poorman points out that the success of the joint solution is due to the similar customer-focused cultures of Pure and Nutanix. Poorman advises customers to view the new virtualization optionality as a bigger exercise than just cost savings, recommending they consider the long-term effects on automation and cyber security. He also advocates for Pure's forward-looking technology investment in NVMe over TCP, which he sees as more robust than Fiber Channel for the next 15 years. The team encourages customers to step up and lead future user group events to continue building the community, both physically and on the Pure Community digital platform.

What happens when AI ambition starts moving faster than the infrastructure built to support it? In this episode, I spoke with Lee Caswell, SVP of Product and Solutions at Nutanix, about the latest Enterprise Cloud Index and what it tells us about where enterprise IT really is right now. There is no shortage of AI headlines, product launches, and promises about what comes next, but this conversation gets behind the noise and into the operational reality that many business and technology leaders are now facing. As Lee explained, AI is not arriving in isolation. It is pulling containers, data strategy, hardware decisions, governance, and application modernization along with it. One of the biggest themes in our conversation was the growing link between AI workloads and container adoption. Lee made the point that applications still sit at the top of the org chart, and infrastructure exists to serve them. As more AI-enabled applications are built by developers who favor containers and Kubernetes-based environments, enterprises are being pushed to rethink how they support those new workloads. We talked about why containers are becoming such an important part of modern application strategy, how they help organizations handle distributed AI use cases, and why many businesses are trying to balance speed and flexibility without giving up the resilience and control they have spent years building into their infrastructure. We also spent time on the less glamorous side of AI adoption, but arguably the part that matters most. Shadow AI, data sovereignty, unpredictable token costs, and infrastructure readiness are all becoming board-level issues. Lee shared why so many organizations are realizing that AI cannot simply be layered onto existing systems without deeper changes underneath. New hardware, new software, new governance models, and a more consistent approach across edge, on-prem, private cloud, and public cloud environments are all part of the picture now. What I enjoyed most about this conversation was that it never framed AI as magic. It framed it as work. Real work that demands better architecture, sharper oversight, and faster decision-making from IT teams that are already under pressure. So if your organization is racing to adopt AI, are you also building the foundation needed to support it responsibly, and where do you think the biggest risk sits right now? Share your thoughts with me.

AI's next phase is arriving fast—and it's reshaping everything from cloud performance to cybersecurity. This week, Amazon Web Services and Cerebras unveiled a new approach to dramatically accelerate AI inference by pairing specialized chips through Amazon Bedrock, while Dell, Nutanix, and CrowdStrike rolled out infrastructure and security innovations at GTC 2026 to support the rapid rise of agentic AI across enterprise environments. At the same time, Zscaler expanded data sovereignty controls to meet tightening global regulations, and Cisco rushed to patch a critical CVSS 10.0 SD-WAN vulnerability that could grant attackers full administrative access. Underscoring it all, Nvidia's Jensen Huang projected a staggering $1 trillion in demand for next-gen AI systems by 2027—making one thing clear: the race to power, secure, and scale AI is only just getting started.

This week we interview Christopher J. Millerick. Christopher is a revenue architect, go-to-market strategist, and expert in partner eco-systems leadership who has spent more than fifteen years engineering the systems that translate Private Equity and Venture Capital investment theses into predictable, capital-efficient revenue growth for enterprise SaaS and cybersecurity companies. As Global Vice President of Worldwide Partner Sales, Alliances & Hyperscalers at Infoblox—a Vista Equity Partners and Warburg Pincus portfolio company—Chris led the structural transformation of a stagnant $450M transactional channel into a strategic growth ecosystem that now executes 97% of total company revenue. Under his leadership, partner-sourced revenue grew from 38% to 73% of new customer bookings, new customer acquisition increased 43%, and the organization scaled steadily toward $1B in annual recurring revenue—all while meeting the board's rigorous "Rule of 60" profitability and growth mandates. Chris brought expertise that in collaboration with Infoblox's previous CRO led to the adoption of the "3 WHYs" qualifying framework — a buyer-centric methodology that aligns direct sales, marketing, and partner engagement around the three questions every enterprise buyer must answer before committing: Why now? (Urgency drivers) What happens if I do nothing? (Cost of inaction) Why this solution? (Value clarity) The framework has been deployed across global organizations to compress complex sales cycles and systematically improve capital efficiency. His operating experience spans the full PE value creation lifecycle. He built a greenfield enterprise region at Nutanix from zero to a top-producing region in North America within 24 months, led global revenue responsibility through the successful acquisition of Unitrends by Kaseya and co-led the Plexxi go-to-market turn-around through to acquisition by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Chris led global channel sales for EMC Corporation's flagship storage business and held a variety of sales and GTM roles with progressive financial impact across a twelve-year tenure. A 5-time CRN Channel Chief honoree, Executive Revenue Growth Advisor in the Hubble network, and Limited Partner at Stage 2 Capital, Chris holds a BA from the College of the Holy Cross, an MBA from Babson College and Chief Revenue Officer Leadership Program Certificate from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He speaks on partner ecosystem transformation, PE/VC value creation through GTM architecture, leveraging AI in GTM and building revenue engines that deliver both growth and profitability at scale.

In this episode, we sit down with Technical Evangelist Don Poorman for a deep dive into the most engaging and eye-opening questions from the past year of the customer-focused Ask Us Everything (AUE) webinar series. The AUE forum has proven to be an invaluable resource for the Everpure community, driving real-time feedback and high-quality, practical discussions directly with experts. Tune in as we revisit the most pertinent topics and customer use cases, revealing how these community interactions are shaping the Everpure roadmap and delivering tremendous value. The conversation recaps the biggest AUE sessions, starting with Fusion, where customers were focused on the operational reality of managing fleets, automating data placement across data centers, and multi-tenancy. Next, we discuss the highly attended session on Purity Upgrades and the success of the self-support upgrade model, emphasizing Everpure's commitment to building confidence and providing tools like AI Copilot to make storage OS upgrades a non-event. The review moves into Cyber Resilience, highlighting the shift from prevention to recovery, the role of SafeMode snapshots, and the importance of ecosystem integration with partners like Rubrik and Superna to address ransomware attacks holistically. Finally, our discussion covers the rapid evolution of FlashArray File, including the much-anticipated ActiveCluster for Files use case, and a look at the comprehensive value delivered by the Evergreen portfolio—from the included features in Evergreen//One to the Cyber Resiliency SLA add-on and its role in hybrid-cloud environments. The episode wraps up with the highly relevant session on the Nutanix integration, exploring how the Everpure Platform helps decouple storage growth from hypervisor licensing and enables modern container-based workloads with features like NVMe/TCP.

In this episode of The Effortless Podcast, Dheeraj Pandey speaks with Dr. Abhishek Bhowmick about how quantum mechanics reshaped our understanding of determinism and why that shift matters for AI today.  From the Einstein–Bohr debates to the idea that nature is fundamentally probabilistic, they explore how the collapse of “if-then” thinking began nearly a century ago. The discussion draws parallels between quantum superposition and modern LLM behavior. At its core, the episode reframes AI as a rediscovery of how reality computes. The conversation then moves from physics to computing architecture, tracing the evolution from scalar CPUs to GPUs, TPUs, tensors, and eventually quantum computing. They examine why probabilistic systems and vector math feel more natural than purely deterministic software. Hybrid computing models show that classical systems still matter. The episode also unpacks what quantum computers are truly good at, especially in cryptography and simulation. Ultimately, it reflects on whether the future of computing lies in embracing probability rather than resisting it.

Most companies don't realize it yet, but the way they built their technology foundations is quietly becoming a liability.Cloud costs are rising. Platforms change underneath you. AI is reshaping infrastructure from hardware to data to governance. And the strategies that once felt “safe” are now the ones creating the most risk.In this episode of IT Visionaries, host Chris Brandt sits down with Mano Bhattacharya, CTO of Nutanix, to unpack what's really happening inside enterprise technology right now. This isn't a conversation about chasing the newest tools or betting on a single future. It's about why adaptability has become the most important design principle in modern tech.Mano explains why many organizations are rethinking long-held assumptions about virtualization, cloud, and containers, and why the smartest teams are building infrastructure that gives them options over the next three to five years. They explore how AI changes the entire stack, not just applications, why data has become the real bottleneck, and why moving fast without a coherent plan can be more dangerous than moving slowly. Chapters:00:00 - The VMware Exodus Wave is Coming03:34 - VMware Broadcom Acquisition: What Changed and Why It Matters05:56 - Three Migration Paths: Stay, Move to Cloud, or Modernize09:59 - Why Containers on VMs Make Sense for Most Enterprises15:40 - The Five Stages of VMware Migration Grief21:20 - VMware Admin to Nutanix Admin: Closing the Skills Gap24:14 - The Cloud-in-a-Box Philosophy: From Boxes to Software32:30 - Opening Up the Platform: Pure Storage and Third-Party Integrations40:54 - AI Infrastructure: The End-to-End Challenge48:01 - Enterprise AI Strategy: Use Cases, Economics, and Governance56:44 - What's Next: Building the Invisible Platform for AI  -- This episode of IT Visionaries is brought to you by Meter - the company building better networks.

Send us a textLayoffs, chips, and a lobster-shaped lesson in security—this month's news run is a tour of how tech's biggest bets collide with real-world constraints. We start with Amazon's plan to complete 30,000 job cuts under the banner of “flattening the org.” That might clean up charts, but it also stretches managers thin and risks slowing the very decisions teams need to ship. The human cost is harder to quantify than a balance sheet win, and we unpack where productivity gains end and morale debt begins.From there, we get into Microsoft's Maya 200 inference chip and why efficiency is the story to watch. Performance per dollar, power budgets, and inference at scale matter more than leaderboard sprints. If the claims hold up outside marketing decks, Maya points to a future where better throughput and lower costs beat raw hype. We also dive into Satya Nadella's push to retire “AI slop” and think of these systems as scaffolding for human potential—useful framing for knowledge work, but incomplete for roles where augmentation often previews automation. It's the tension shaping careers, budgets, and product choices across the stack.We pivot to enterprise infrastructure with Nutanix's slower-than-expected VMware migrations. Even when customers want options, they face real friction: tooling parity, skill gaps, data gravity, and the risk of moving mission-critical workloads without bulletproof rollback. The lesson is pragmatic—platforms don't win on promises, they win on migration paths that reduce toil and make costs predictable.And then there's Moltbot, the rebranded assistant formerly known as Clawdbot, which sparked a security backlash and a reminder that agents touching calendars, email, and payments need guardrails before cleverness. Limit scopes, sandbox actions, cap spend, log everything. AI that touches real life must be boringly safe before it's impressive.If this breakdown helped you cut through the noise, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

In this episode of The Effortless Podcast, Amit Prakash and Dheeraj Pandey are joined by Alex Dimakis for a wide-ranging, systems-first discussion on the future of long-horizon AI agents that can operate over time, learn from feedback, adapt to users, and function reliably inside real-world environments.The conversation spans research and industry, unpacking why prompt engineering alone collapses at scale; how advisor models, reward-driven learning, and environment-based evaluation enable continual improvement without retraining frontier models; and why memory in AI systems is as much about forgetting as it is about recall. Drawing from distributed systems, reinforcement learning, and cognitive science, the trio explores how personalization, benchmarks, and context engineering are becoming the foundation of AI-native software.Alex, Dheeraj, and Amit also examine the evolution from SFT to RL to JEPA-style world models, the role of harnesses and benchmarks in measuring real progress, and why enterprise AI has moved decisively from research into engineering. The result is a candid, deeply technical conversation about what it will actually take to move beyond demos and build agents that work over long horizons.Key Topics & Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction, context, and holiday catch-up04:00 – Teaching in the age of AI and why cognitive “exercise” still matters08:00 – Industry sentiment: fear, trust, and skepticism around LLMs12:00  – Memory in AI systems: documents, transcripts, and limits of recall17:00  – Why forgetting is a feature, not a bug22:00 – Advisor models and dynamic prompt augmentation27:00 – Data vs metadata: control planes vs data planes in AI systems32:00 – Personalization, rewards, and learning user preferences implicitly37:00 – Why prompt-only workflows break down at scale41:00 – RAG, advice, and moving beyond retrieval-centric systems46:00 – Long-horizon agents and the limits of reflection-based prompting51:00 – Environments, rewards, and agent-centric evaluation56:00 – From Q&A benchmarks to agents that act in the world1:01:00 – Terminal Bench, harnesses, and measuring real agent progress1:06:00 – Frontier labs, open source, and the pace of change1:11:00 – Context engineering as infrastructure (“the train tracks” analogy)1:16:00 – Organizing agents: permissions, visibility, and enterprise structure1:20:00 – SFT vs RL: imitation first, reinforcement last1:25:00 – Anti-fragility, trial-and-error, and unsolved problems in continual learning1:28:00 – Closing reflections on the future of long-horizon AI agentsHosts:Amit PrakashCEO & Founder at AmpUp, Former engineer at Google AdSense and Microsoft Bing, with deep expertise in distributed systems, data platforms, and machine learning.Dheeraj PandeyCo-founder & CEO at DevRev, Former Co-founder & CEO of Nutanix.

What does it take to build products that stand out in one of the most technical spaces in the industry? In this podcast hosted by Cassio Sampaio, Nutanix Vice President & General Manager Dan Ciruli speaks on how product leaders can guide customers through complex infrastructure decisions and stand out in ecosystems dominated by hyperscalers. He explores the realities of legacy systems, the skills PMs need to thrive in deeply technical environments, and the opportunities emerging across the evolving infrastructure stack.

Most enterprises today run workloads across multiple IT infrastructures rather than a single platform, creating significant operational challenges. According to Nutanix CTO Deepak Goel, organizations face three major hurdles: managing operational complexity amid a shortage of cloud-native skills, migrating legacy virtual machine (VM) workloads to microservices-based cloud-native platforms, and running VM-based workloads alongside containerized applications. Many engineers have deep infrastructure experience but lack Kubernetes expertise, making the transition especially difficult and increasing the learning curve for IT administrators. To address these issues, organizations are turning to platform engineering and internal developer platforms that abstract infrastructure complexity and provide standardized “golden paths” for deployment. Integrated development environments (IDEs) further reduce friction by embedding capabilities like observability and security. Nutanix contributes through its hyper converged platform, which unifies compute and storage while supporting both VMs and containers. At KubeCon North America, Nutanix announced version 2.0 of Nutanix Data Services for Kubernetes (NDK), adding advanced data protection, fault-tolerant replication, and enhanced security through a partnership with Canonical to deliver a hardened operating system for Kubernetes environments.Learn more from The New Stack about operational complexity in cloud native environments:Q&A: Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami on the Cloud Native Enterprise Kubernetes Complexity Realigns Platform Engineering Strategy Platform Engineering on the Brink: Breakthrough or Bust? Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

In this episode of The Effortless Podcast, Amit Prakash and Dheeraj Pandey dive deep into one of the most important shifts happening in AI today: the convergence of structured and unstructured data, interfaces, and systems.Together, they unpack how conversations—not CRM fields—hold the real ground truth; why schemas still matter in an AI-driven world; and how agents can evolve into true managers, coaches, and chiefs of staff for revenue teams. They explore the cognitive science behind visual vs conversational UI, the future of dynamically generated interfaces, and the product depth required to build enduring AI-native software.Amit and Dheeraj break down the tension between deterministic and probabilistic systems, the limits of prompt-driven workflows, and why the future of enterprise AI is “both-and” rather than “either-or.” It's a masterclass in modern product, data design, and the psychology of building intelligent tools.Key Topics & Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction02:00 – Why conversations—not CRM fields—hold real ground truth05:00 – Reps as labelers and the parallels with AI training pipelines08:00 – Business logic vs world models: defining meaning inside enterprises11:00 – Prompts flatten nuance; schemas restore structure14:00 – SQL schemas as the true model of a business17:00 – CRM overload and the friction of rigid data entry20:00 – AI agents that debrief and infer fields dynamically23:00 – Capturing qualitative signals: champions, pain, intent26:00 – Multi-source context: transcripts, email threads, Slack29:00 – Why structure is required for math, aggregation, forecasting32:00 – Aggregating unstructured data to reveal organizational issues35:00 – Labels, classification, and the limits of LLM-only workflows38:00 – Deterministic (SQL/Python) vs probabilistic (LLMs) systems41:00 – Transitional workflows: humans + AI field entry44:00 – Trust issues and the confusion of the early AI market47:00 – Avoiding “Clippy moments” in agent design50:00 – Latency, voice UX, and expectations for responsiveness53:00 – Human-machine interface for SDRs vs senior reps56:00 – Structured vs unstructured UI: cognitive science insights59:00 – Charts vs paragraphs: parallel vs sequential processing1:02:00 – The “Indian thali” dashboard problem and dynamic UI1:05:00 – Exploration modes, drill-downs, and empty prompts1:08:00 – Dynamic leaves, static trunk: designing hierarchy1:11:00 – Both-and thinking: voice + visual, structured + unstructured1:14:00 – Why “good enough” AI fails without deep product1:17:00 – PLG, SLG, data access, and trust barriers1:20:00 – Closing reflections and the future of AI-native softwareHosts: Amit Prakash – CEO and Founder at AmpUp, former engineer at Google AdSense and Microsoft Bing, with extensive expertise in distributed systems and machine learningDheeraj Pandey – Co-founder and CEO at DevRev, former Co-founder & CEO of Nutanix.
