Both items land in the same corner of JP tech: enterprises rushing head-first into generative AI and post-VMware infrastructure, with security and governance playing catch-up. Cisco partner Exeo Digital Solutions argues the safety basics — shadow-AI visibility, model vulnerability patching, enforceable usage rules — still aren’t table stakes for most companies adopting genAI. Meanwhile Acronis is repositioning from backup vendor to HCI contender, betting the mid-market’s cloud- and AI-driven demand plus MDR/SCS compliance work gives it a new opening now that VMware’s grip is loosening. Different angles, same underlying signal: the Japanese enterprise stack is being rebuilt around AI and post-VMware realities, and the security layer is where vendors are racing to plant a flag.

  Sponsored piece: as genAI and AI agents spread rapidly into enterprise workflows, security measures are still lagging. With the "let’s just try it" energy running ahead, shadow-AI visibility, AI-model vulnerability remediation, and enforceable AI usage policies haven’t kept up. Exeo Digital Solutions (built around Cisco products) outlines an approach for moving AI adoption forward while keeping safety and governance intact.

  Acronis, long known as a backup vendor, is now targeting the post-VMware replacement market with an HCI push. Behind the move: mid-market customers wrestling with cloud migration, plus rising AI and security demand. The company is also extending into MDR, AI automation, and SCS certification support.
