MINNEAPOLIS – Fortra, in partnership with Qualcomm, is pleased to announce support for the Snapdragon X series of processors for Fortra's Data Classification Suite (DCS) and Fortra’s Digital Guardian Secure Collaboration product.

The Snapdragon X series, released earlier this year, will power a new series of PCs. These devices will provide Fortra customers with multiple days of battery life and unparalleled performance with exceptional efficiency. Designed to accelerate productivity and creativity, they deliver unique AI experiences powered by the world’s fastest neural processing unit (NPU) for laptops, achieving 45 TOPS and leading performance per watt.

“This truly is a new era for the PC, redefining the personal computing experience,” said Wade Barisoff, Director of Product at Fortra. “Our customers are interested in taking advantage of the new possibilities that can enable a more fluid AI experience, and Snapdragon X is leading the way.”

Qualcomm and Fortra partnered to support the entire suite of Fortra’s data protection products, with support for the final product, Digital Guardian, arriving in early Q1 2025.

“The partnership with Qualcomm accelerated our plans to certify the new Snapdragon X, as our customers were looking to adopt this new processor architecture with their next round of replacement PCs,” said Barisoff. “We're excited to be able to provide support for Snapdragon X as we build the next generation of our data protection suite. By leveraging Qualcomm's processor architecture with Fortra’s data protection solutions, we're further enhancing our ability to safeguard critical data effectively.”
