Enterprise backup and data protection is critical to to your enterprise data. But traditional backup and recovery can be incredibly slow and painful. Read what enterprise cyber storage leader Infinidat's Fortune 500 customers are doing to dramatically reduce backup windows, substantially speed up recovery, and simplify backup while lowering costs with our next generation data protection solutions - • A Fortune 500 customer for their Veeam backup environment has replaced their previous backup target vendor with 58PBs of InfiniBox. This customer reduced the data center floor space and rack space by 75%, got the best price performance from Infinidat compared to all other vendors they evaluated, and love our White Glove support and service compared to the constant support issues they had with their previous vendor. • One of our global Fortune 500 customers was never able to meet their backup window or restoration time SLAs for their Commvault backup environment. When they moved to an InfiniGuard, they exceeded all backup window and restoration time SLAs – most by 2X. • Another Fortune 500 customer in Europe, who was very concerned about cyber threats, has deployed InfiniGuard with our award-winning InfiniSafe cyber storage resilience solution. This customer reduced the backup window for one of their database workloads to ONLY 30 minutes from 5 hours – a 10x improvement, reduced the backup time for another workload to ONLY 4.75 hours from 18 hours – nearly a 4x improvement, and saw a reduction in full recovery times of 97%. • And a fourth Fortune 500 customer replaced 36 competitors’ PBBAs with 20 InfiniBox hybrid arrays using our InfiniSafe cyber resilience and recovery technology. Not only was the initial CAPEX ½ that of the competition and they saved in just their first year of deployment >$1.5M in OPEX, but they have met all backup window SLAs and all recovery time SLAs. The previous vendor’s product never met the agreed-upon SLAs with the application owners.

...Krishna said: "Innovation value can also be seen in our IBM Z performance, up 48 percent this year, achieving the highest annual revenue for Z in about 20 years... Krishna (further) said this was more than just a question of legacy replacements. He said sovereignty was a key issue, and "more and more clients have woken up to that for certain workloads, the mainframe is actually the lowest unit cost economics platform, and that is really important."

#MSIgnite highlighted the power of ubiquitous innovation and how Frontier Firms are reshaping industries. These organizations are integrating AI across their full stacks and building custom agents grounded in their own data and processes. They are moving with greater clarity, speed, and ambition. This article from GeekWire on the Microsoft Experience Center One illustrates that shift. The space is more than a collection of demos. It shows how quickly agentic systems are moving from concept to real competitive advantage for companies like BlackRock, Mercedes-Benz AG, Ralph Lauren, and others. These systems perceive context, act across tools and data, and help teams achieve outcomes that once felt out of reach. The results speak for themselves. Organizations treating AI as a strategic capability are seeing stronger ROI, faster decision cycles, and new pathways to growth. Agentic systems are not just supporting work. They are expanding what people and organizations can achieve together. The real question is how organizations will choose to apply this next wave of capability to shape their future.
