A lot has changed since Broadcom acquired VMware. With the launch of VCF 9, it's safe to say that VMware's strategy entirely revolves around VMware Cloud Foundation. We sit down with Prashanth Shenoy, CMO and VP Marketing for VMware Cloud Foundation at Broadcom, to explore how VCF has become the cornerstone of VMware's product strategy under Broadcom ownership. Shenoy offers candid insights into the company's business model transformation and future direction, particularly regarding AI integr...
Harry Reid International Airport is a special airport, with some very specific needs. The network infrastructure is very important. That makes it possible to offer travelers a good experience, from curb to gate. During HPE Discover, we sat down with Rishma M. Khimji, the airport's Chief Information and Technology Officer, to talk about how special it is exactly. Harry Reid International Airport is the largest largest 100% common-use airport in the United States. That means that Khimji and her...
Browsers have become an endpoint, and have also become an attack vector and target for attackers. The problem is that your EDR isn't keeping up. In this conversation with Vivek Ramachandran, founder and CEO of SquareX, we dive deep into the emerging world of Browser Detection and Response (BDR) and why it matters for modern security teams. Drawing from his 24 years in cybersecurity, Ramachandran explains why traditional security approaches are failing to protect the browser. The browser has ...
Work feels broken. We're drowning in too many systems, endless context switching, and information scattered across countless platforms. But what if the solution isn't adding another tool, but transforming one you already use into the glue that binds everything together? In this conversation with Peter Dooling, Chief Customer Officer at Slack, we explore how Slack is evolving from a messaging platform into what they call a "work operating system." Dooling reveals how customer feedback has sha...
The announcement of Oracle Database@AWS during last year's Oracle CloudWorld came as quite a shock to many people. Recently, this new offering by Oracle and Amazon Web Services (AWS) became generally available. We had a comprehensive discussion with Oracle VP of Mission Critical Database Technologies Ashish Ray about what this offering means for Oracle, but more importantly also for joint AWS and Oracle customers. Is it a new milestone in cloud database architecture? And will it d...
VM replacement has gotten very real over the past couple of years. During KubeCon earlier this year we had a chat about this with Venkat Ramakrishnan, VP and GM for Portworx at Pure Storage. How are organizations responding to market disruptions in virtualization? The days of tire-kicking Kubernetes and containers are firmly behind us. Today's enterprise customers are running tens of thousands of Kubernetes nodes in production environments. Some of them operate over 250,000 containers simult...
Amazon S3 is the oldest service in the catalogue of Amazon Web Services (AWS). We sat down with Andy Warfield, Distinguished Engineer at AWS, to talk about the 19-year journey of Amazon S3 from simple backup solution to sophisticated data foundation. Warfield talks about how S3 began as essentially "a storage locker across town" for archival purposes, before customers discovered its REST architecture made it capable of handling massive parallel workloads. This unexpected advantage fueled S3'...
The cybersecurity landscape has transformed in recent years, with managed security services gaining widespread acceptance as organizations face the realities of today's threat landscape. In this conversation with Erik van Buggenhout, responsible for managed security services at NVISO, we delve into the practical challenges that have made outsourcing security operations a necessity rather than just an option for many businesses. Erik shares an analogy that illustrates how we should think abou...
Smart manufacturing has many facets. There's the convergence of IT and OT, and the security challenges that brings. In recent years we've seen Private 5G coming up, at least as a topic of conversation if not in actual adoption. Finally, the edge environments of those factories recently fell under the spell of AI too. At Mobile World Congress earlier this year, we talked to Parm Sandhu, Group Vice President of Enterprise Products and Services at NTT Data, about all of these topics. What ...
A little bit of a change of pace this week, as we talk about how big technology companies invest in other companies and what underpins their acquisition strategy. During Cisco Live we had the opportunity to sit down with Derek Idemoto, SVP of Corporate Development and Cisco Investments. The pace at which Cisco launches products and services in the past four to five years is quite stunning. Especially when compared to the rather pedestrian pace at which the company moved forward prior to...
During PegaWorld, the annual conference where Pegasystems outlines its vision and has customers share their stories, we sat down with Pega CTO Don Schuerman and talked about what agentic AI means in the fields they're active in. The Pega CTO sees a tendency in the industry to label anything with "a sprinkle of large language model fairy dust" as agentic AI. That's not how he and Pega look at it. He talks about a more comprehensive vision: true agentic AI designs, automates, executes, and opt...
What happens when you study how millions of teams work and collaborate over 20 years? You learn a lot and can use those insights to help organizations operate more effectively.

Listen to this new episode of Techzine Talks to learn more about what he had to say. Trull draws from his experience ove...
AI has in interesting side-effect for the role of the CISO, says Zscaler CISO Sam Curry when we sit down with him during RSAC 2025 Conference in San Francisco earlier this month. Their input becomes more important. That's good news for CISOs. Or is it? Security leaders haven long been judged and consulted along the technical axis. The (rapid) rise of AI means that dynamic had to change, Curry says. It had and still has an effect on cybersecurity in general that we haven't seen before, a...
