AI agents succeed in production only when workflow, monitoring, ownership, and rollback plans are built around them, not when models alone are deployed.
Anthropic and Infosys have announced a strategic partnership to develop custom AI agents for large enterprises in sectors including telecoms, financial services, manufacturing, and software development. The partnership responds to growing demand from companies for artificial intelligence that can not only support tasks but also independently execute complex processes within highly regulated environments. The core of the partnership lies in the combination of Anthropic's Claude models, including Claude Code, with Infosys Topaz, Infosys' AI-focused services and platform offering.
Generative AI (genAI) has passed the point of novelty. It's helping software engineers write code, lawyers draft contracts, and physicians summarize medical notes. It has quickly and quietly woven its way into the tools people use every day. The speed of genAI adoption has been staggering, but so has the uncertainty it has ushered in. As adoption continues to accelerate, one significant question looms: When will genAI transition from "experimental" to a truly "enterprise-grade" technology that we can trust with our data?
At the same time, internal emails sent this summer by senior sales employees in its Worldwide Field Operations - which works with customers to deploy its technology - reveal it's contending with some hurdles as it tries to tell clients a "comprehensive software story" and sell those products alongside its highly sought-after AI hardware.
"Bringing DevOps Principles to Controls and Audits", not the most exciting title in the world, but I'm actually going to be talking about a revolution. What I'm talking about is an open-source project that me and my colleagues at Container Solutions are working on. My goal is that by the end of it, you'll be interested enough to check it out, perhaps give feedback, maybe even get involved.
The alliance will focus on equipping MSPs and global enterprises with secure and scalable archival storage solutions as AI adoption continues to drive rapid data growth across industries. The two companies will work together to deliver Acronis Archival Storage, integrated with the Acronis platform, which is designed for infrequently accessed data and offers long-term, secure, and S3-combatible storage under a predictable cost model.
Data privacy is a crucial concern for regulated industries, where public LLMs' storage methods raise significant risks under regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.
