Commvault’s AI vision: Data Activate, AI Protect, and what it means for enterprises

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of deploying AI in enterprises, emphasizing the importance of data readiness and security.

AI sounds exciting… until you actually try to use it inside a company. That was my biggest takeaway from my conversation with Michael Fasulo from Commvault at Google Cloud Next '26 on The Ravit Show. Everyone wants AI, but when it comes to real deployment, things break. Data is messy, systems are disconnected, and trust is missing. The gap is not ambition, it is readiness. One line that stayed with me. If your data is compromised, your AI is compromised. And with agentic AI, it gets even more real. These systems are not just answering anymore, they are taking actions. That means mistakes can have real impact. My takeaway is simple. The companies that win will not be the ones trying the most AI. They will be the ones fixing their data and putting the right guardrails in place first. #data #ai #commvault #security #googlecloudnext #api #google #theravitshow
