AI agents are moving from tools that assist people to systems that can search data, make decisions and take action on their own. That shift creates a new set of infrastructure problems for enterprises. In this episode, VAST Data co-founder and CTO Alon Horev explains why agents need secure sandboxes, detailed observability and tightly controlled access to enterprise data and tools. He also looks at what happens as companies deploy thousands of agents at once, putting new pressure on search, structured data systems and real-time data access, and why these challenges become even harder as agentic systems extend from the datacenter to the edge and physical AI.
