It’s impossible to avoid talk of AI these days, and while most of the talk until recently has been
either extremely high-level or low-level, the rubber is starting to meet the road. AI PCs are
beginning to hit the market. What does that mean? What workloads can run on them? Why
would an organization prioritize deploying a PC with local AI capabilities if they don’t have a
specific use case or workload in mind?

In this fireside chat, Dell’s Dhiren Patel and Microsoft’s Rob McGilvrey will join end-user
computing industry analyst Gabe Knuth in a lively discussion of the reality of AI today, and what
to look for in the near future as you begin to factor AI capabilities into your endpoint strategy,
as well as your transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Data continues to grow in scale and importance for companies of all shapes and sizes. As it does, so too does the imperative to protect it. Threat actors know that a ransomware attack can cripple a company, and companies that fail to protect themselves on the front end often find themselves facing high recovery costs and damage to their reputation on the back end. 

It is clear that cybersecurity professionals are well aware of the risk, with ESG surveys showing data protection and recovery strategies at the top of the priority list. The good news is, there are solutions. Data backup and protection software have progressed at a rapid pace, and a smart investment in the right technology can help ensure the security of one of the most important resources a company has, its data. 

In ‘TRC’s Real World Data Protection Journey with Dell and Azure,’ we’ll explore how TRC found their data protection solution, and how other companies can do the same. 

Topics for discussion include: 
-Current data protection trends 
-Ransomware and SaaS data protection strategies 
-TRC’s cloud and data protection journey with Dell and Azure
-The importance  of backups in a data protection strategy
-And more
