    NetApp INSIGHT: Jeff Baxter on the AI Data Engine

    I sat down with Jeff Baxter, NetApp to discuss about the announcements from INSIGHT to go deep on the new announcements today and why they matter for teams building with AI. We covered what this means in practice for customers. The NetApp AI Data Engine moves data to the right place at the right time, manages metadata, lineage, and versioning so work is reproducible, and adds AI powered ransomware detection so teams can ship with confidence. It runs as one platform across on premises and all major clouds, so hybrid stays simple and cost aware. Highlights from our conversation: • From data to innovation. A single data platform that reduces handoffs and cuts wait time for data scientists and engineers. • Reproducible AI by design. Metadata, lineage, and versioning are first class so you can rerun, compare, and promote models with clarity. • Security that keeps pace with AI. AI powered ransomware detection plus built in controls to protect sensitive data without slowing teams down. • One control plane. On prem and across major clouds with consistent operations, cost visibility, and policy enforcement. My take: • This is about operational discipline, not hype. Reproducibility and lineage are the difference between a demo and a dependable AI program • Security has to be native to the data platform. If it is bolted on later, teams hesitate and AI work stalls • Hybrid is the real world. A unified approach across on prem and clouds reduces complexity and keeps options open If you are scaling AI and want fewer blockers between data and outcomes, this will help. “Explore NetApp AI solutions” AI solutions page: https://www.netapp.com/artificial-intelligence/?utm_campaign=cross-aiml-multi-all-ww-digi-spp-ravit_/_baxter_yt_interview-1760561150310&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_content=video #data #ai #insight2025 #netapp #theravitshow

    Humans + Agents on the Mainframe: From Dashboards to Decisions with BMC

    What happens when AI agents become your teammates on the mainframe? I sat down with Anthony DiStauro from BMC on The Ravit Show to explore how agentic AI is moving from hype to real work. We unpacked the building blocks, the use cases, and what this shift means for teams who keep mission-critical systems running. Highlights we covered: - The teammate you didn’t hire: where agents plug in first across monitoring, remediation, change checks, and capacity tuning. - The basics in plain English: AI Agents, Agentic Workflows, and MCP Servers, and how they connect to form an execution layer that can act, not just alert. - Why now: falling hype, rising adoption as teams want safer automation with clear guardrails. - From mundane to strategic: operators focusing on performance engineering, cost optimization, and resilience design while agents handle the repetitive loops. - Capturing know-how: using agents to encode runbooks, tacit fixes, and tribal knowledge so it survives turnover. - Five-year picture: proactive, self-healing mainframes where agents predict drift, test changes, and roll back safely. - Humans + agents: trust comes from transparency, audit trails, and clear handoffs. - Invisible infrastructure: agentic workflows that hum in the background and surface only when needed. - From dashboards to decisions: moving beyond graphs to actions with approval gates for high-risk steps. - Future talent: a shorter learning curve for newcomers, making mainframe roles more attractive. If you care about reliability, cost, and speed on the mainframe, this is the next chapter. #data #ai #mainframe #bmc #theravitshow
