Build the secure, recoverable data foundation your AI plans depend on

AI is moving quickly through Irish organisations, and much of the infrastructure underneath it was never designed for what comes next. As LLMs, agents and automated workflows become part of everyday operations, data volumes climb, data moves more often, and cyber risk becomes harder to contain.

For a long time, backup, ransomware resilience, recovery and cloud storage could each be treated as a separate concern. That approach has run out of road. Together they now decide whether an organisation can scale AI securely, keep costs predictable, and stay in control of its data.

In this session, the Impossible Cloud and Renaissance teams will explore the questions every IT team and partner should be answering before AI scales further. You will see why cloud storage has become the strategic foundation for backup, ransomware resilience and data control, and how Impossible Cloud delivers backup, disaster recovery and ransomware resilience with full data control, seamless integration and intuitive management.

Key Takeaways:

In this session, you will learn:

• Why AI adoption is changing the role of cloud storage, backup and recovery
• How ransomware resilience fits into an AI-ready infrastructure strategy
• Where data movement creates hidden cost, complexity and compliance challenges
• How organisations can strengthen data control without increasing lock-in
• What partners can do to turn AI infrastructure into a stronger customer conversation

This session will include a live poll and open discussion, giving attendees the opportunity to contribute to the conversation.
