Commissioning at Scale Is a Sequencing Problem, Not a Testing Problem

The first site I ever failed to place in service passed every acceptance test I wrote for it. Cameras streamed. Switches held their uplinks under a simulated fiber cut.

It still sat dark for three weeks, because the room where one of the redundant paths terminated belonged to a different crew on a different contract with a different completion date, and nobody had drawn that edge on any schedule. My validation was fine.

New AI-powered quick assessments in Migration Center turbocharge modernization

Technology leaders are under mounting pressure to modernize infrastructure, control multi-cloud operational spend, and build data foundations for generative AI. However, the discovery required for that level of transformation can entail weeks of manual spreadsheet analysis, mapping in-house infrastructure, and reconciling siloed, piecemeal cost estimates across disparate teams and sources. To help, we’re announcing AI-powered Quick Assessments in Migration Center, which delivers near-instant tot

Empowering autonomous agents with advanced security governance

AI agents are the ultimate insiders. We grant them permission to read emails, query databases, and trigger API calls. They don’t just retrieve information, they take action.  Agents offer incredible potential for increased productivity and better customer experiences, but they also come with new security concerns. In our new State of AI infrastructure report, 79% of tech leaders cite security, governance, or operations as their most significant challenge to scaling inference. While there’s still
