There’s a lot of generative AI stories floating around these days. However, Dell and Nvidia had some substantial news to share this week. By teaming up with Nvidia, Dell Technologies will assist organizations to simplify the adoption of full-stack generative AI with large language models. This should help companies introduce offerings regardless of where they’re at in the AI journey.

Finally, senior news editor Edward Gately checked in with Francisco Criado, vice president of Check Point’s global partner ecosystem program. In an interview for the Gately Report, Criado talks about big bets Check Point is making with MSSPs. In some way that’s no surprise. It’s a $51 billion market, he said.
