Datadog DASH 2026: A Managed Loop Built for the Software Engineering Domain

Shannon Kalvar, Stephen Elliot, Archana Venkatraman — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

At DASH 2026, held June 9–10 in New York City, Datadog assembled its Bits AI family into a closed software engineering loop spanning code, release, runtime operations, operational memory, and autonomous testing. The announcements established a vision for a coherent and capable software engineering platform with roots in the world of ephemeral infrastructure, and aspirations towards a agentic application era. What customers will demand is transparency, control, policy inclusion, and governance when the platform executes a technical action that carries consequences across domains and decision authority sits with humans balancing competing objectives.

IDC Survey Spotlight: What MFP Scanning Features Are Most Important, and What Benefits Are Expected from AI Scanning?

Mitri Roufka — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight examines the most critical scanning features European organizations prioritize when selecting multifunction printers (MFPs), as well as the benefits they expect from AI-enhanced MFP scanning. It reviews feature importance across key scanning capabilities (e.g., resolution, speed, duplex scanning, cloud storage connectivity, and optical character recognition) and maps them against organizational expectations for AI-driven scanning benefits (e.g., security, document recognition, and intelligent data extraction). The report, based on IDC’s European B2B Print Opportunity Survey, also explores how the broad distribution of AI benefit expectations reflects a market in which organizations increasingly require effective, secure document scanning as a foundational pillar of document digitalization workflows.

IDC's Worldwide Datacenter Facilities and Services Taxonomy, 2026

Andrew Buss, Luis Fernandes, Mikhail Jaura, Mary Johnston Turner — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study updates IDC's definitions for assessing the scope and scale of datacenter facilities buildouts, operator types, and critical infrastructure components, excluding IT equipment deployed within datacenters. As with all taxonomy documents, this taxonomy will be continually revised and edited to ensure its applicability to market offerings.

"This updated IDC datacenter taxonomy provides the definitions and segmentations used by IDC analysts to track the global datacenter facilities and operations footprint," explains Andrew Buss, senior research director, Digital and Datacenter Infrastructure and Services at IDC. "The document serves as a guideline for users to better understand IDC's datacenter research and provides a standardized framework for defining metrics used within the Semi-Annual Datacenter Facilities Tracker and other IDC datacenter facilities research."

Tanium Advances Autonomous IT with AI-Driven Innovations Across Threat Hunting, Anomaly Detection, and Policy Enforcement

Philip D. Harris, CISSP, CCSK, Grace Trinidad — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Tanium's latest AI-driven platform innovations deliver a strategically cohesive expansion across Security Operations, Endpoint Management, and AI that meaningfully advances its Autonomous IT vision. By natively embedding threat hunting workflows, browser telemetry integration, anomaly detection, and autonomous policy enforcement within a single platform, Tanium strengthens its differentiation against both point solution vendors and broader platform competitors. IDC views these innovations as a compelling demonstration of Tanium's ability to execute against its AI-driven platform roadmap while addressing the consolidation priorities of enterprise and government security buyers.

U.S. Printer and MFP Forecast, 2026–2030

Geoffrey Wilbur, Abhyuday Jampu — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC presentation provides the five-year forecast for the U.S. multifunction and single-function market opportunity in detail, analyzing issues, trends, and product advances in this market. Forecasts include shipments, value of shipments, and ASV.

“Economic and business uncertainty, partly because of tariff uncertainty, suppressed demand for print hardware in 2025. Starting in 2026, printer and MFP shipments are expected to return to a long-term declining trajectory. However, longer-term growth opportunities remain in select market segments, as production printing, higher-price band inkjet, and color laser MFPs offer growth potential.” — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions, IDC

IDC Survey Spotlight: Which Network Initiatives Are Enterprises Turning to Consulting and Integration Partners to Deliver?

Leslie Rosenberg — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight, based on IDC's Worldwide Network Consulting Services End User Survey (March 2026), examines the top network initiatives enterprises turn to consulting and integration partners to deliver. Demand concentrates on AI-centric priorities, building and operating networks for AI workloads, and using AI to automate network insights and operations, alongside multicloud networking, network automation, and datacenter modernization. Rising architectural complexity, persistent skills gaps, and the drive to automate are pushing organizations toward partners with proven, AI-ready expertise, shifting the provider opportunity from project-based deployment toward strategic, outcome-led engagement across design, integration, and operations.

Rubrik Forward 2026: Identity Failure Is Inevitable; Continuity Is Not

Emanuel Figueroa — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Identity is no longer about who gets in. It is about whether control persists and can be rebuilt once execution begins, and whether the business can continue operating through failure, not simply recover after it. Continuity, not recovery alone, is becoming the defining measure of resilience.

Identity now governs actions that unfold at machine speed, often beyond traditional control points. Access still happens. Control increasingly does not.

Recovery assumptions are breaking down alongside it. Organizations can restore data quickly, but when identity is compromised, trust collapses across the environment, and with it, the ability to operate. When identity fails, access disappears, applications stall, and business processes slow or stop. Identity is no longer just a control layer; it has become a dependency layer and, increasingly, the blast radius through which compromise propagates.

This creates a structural tension most organizations are not designed to resolve. When identity is compromised, they face a binary choice: roll back to a known good state and disrupt legitimate business progress, or remain operational and risk maintaining attacker persistence. Neither option is acceptable in environments that operate continuously.

This shift signals the emergence of a new control model: Execution-Integrated Identity Resilience (EIIR), a framework where identity continuously validates, reconstructs, and enforces trusted execution before, during, and after compromise.

Zip Superagents and MCP: A Governance-First Path for AI in Spend

Patrick Reymann — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Link examines Zip's launch of three interconnected AI offerings — Zip Superagents, a procurement-native implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and the Zip AI Spend Automation program — and positions them as an ambitious attempt to become the governed layer through which AI touches enterprise spend rather than a standalone assistant. We review Zip's governance-first agent architecture, its model-agnostic MCP integration with tools such as Claude and ChatGPT, and the forward-deployed engineer engagement model, highlighting both the potential to address shadow AI and auditability risks in procurement and questions around evidence of at-scale execution and buyer dependence on high-touch services.
