Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HPE channel chief Jenson on Discover 2026, the Canadian angle, and what partners should stop doing
Q: What is the one thing Canadian partners should stop and start doing, according to the interview?
Stop letting past constraints define future actions; start by picking a focused point of view and identifying one or two concrete actions that jointly drive a customer business outcome, then collaborate with HPE to execute that extra mile.
HPE channel chief Jenson on Discover 2026, the Canadian angle, and what partners should stop doing
Q: Where does the Canadian angle stand in the channel strategy for the second half of the year?
Canadian partners bring a very clear, passionate perspective on data sovereignty and provincial government needs, which shapes pricing, service levels, and policy decisions to better service Canadian customers. They are integral to shaping the channel priorities, including 30-day quote validity and targeted, local support.
Inside Check Point’s three-acquisition bet on AI security and the MSP market
Q: How quickly do these acquisitions become native Check Point experiences rather than standalone tools?
They become native experiences very quickly because they are integrated into a wider value proposition rather than sold as standalone capabilities; the integration is designed to be rapid using modern architectures and AI to accelerate the process.
Inside Check Point’s three-acquisition bet on AI security and the MSP market
Q: What is driving Check Point's strategic urgency behind the acquisitions—AI-created risk, competitive pressures, or both?
There is a dual motive: AI is accelerating market change and creating new risk categories, while competition among vendors is speeding up, prompting Check Point to accelerate its product pillars with integrated, broader solutions for MSPs.
What Nutanix’s latest Enterprise Cloud Index tells MSPs about shadow AI, sovereignty, and the infrastructure shift ahead
Q: What is the role of MSPs in capitalizing on Shadow AI and ensuring governance?
MSPs can become the governed alternative to Shadow AI by offering location-aware, auditable, and compliant AI services, including a sovereign edge and token-based resource sharing to lower costs, while controlling data and application movement across environments.
