CEO Sasan Goodarzi cited the need to reallocate resources toward key growth areas like AI and data-driven platforms, but notably did not blame the cuts on artificial intelligence. The company expects to incur between $250 million and $300 million in charges related to the layoffs.", "body_md": "MOST POPULAR\nEVENTS\n-\nThe Hardware Crunch: How Supply Chain Turbulence Is Forcing a New IT Playbook\nInfrastructure teams are facing a perfect storm: extended hardware lead times, rising costs driven by AI demand, and accelerated platform timelines.\n-\nOvercoming the trade-offs in data sovereignty\nWhat does data sovereignty actually mean for your network, which trade-offs are unavoidable?
