  • Organisations are so quick to adopt new technologies that they often overlook the value legacy devices have to offer. Scott Jeschonek, Director of Cloud Solutions at Avere Systems thinks that while oil and water don’t mix, legacy and cloud do in comparison. In spite of the hype about moving applications to the cloud and about…

  • Challenges for insurers devising policy plans for ADAS and autonomous explored by Graham Jarvis. By reputation the insurance industry is often seen as a slow-moving beast but research suggests that their pace is changing. It seems that insurers are keenly embracing new technologies, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and they are taking steps…

  • There is an overarching fear that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are going to take over people’s jobs, but there is a counter argument that their main purpose is to support humans as enabling technologies. In their proponents’ viewpoint, they aren’t disabling anyone.  However, organisations that don’t train up their staff now to learn…

  • With the global market for digital mobility services forecast to grow to $2Trn by 2025, Frost and Sullivan suggests there is much continued private sector interest in digital mobility services and, as result of this trend, the firm says there is a readiness to combine different modes of transport to the extent that the “lines…

  • Clive Longbottom, Client Services Director at analyst firm Quocirca commented on Facebook: “I’m assuming that should this NHS attack be shown to be down to cost-cutting measures and corner-cutting by the many private companies involved, they will be held responsible for the financial costs involved, and that their management will be held responsible for manslaughter…

  • With big data comes one particular challenge that can put the spanner in the works: data and network latency, which can slow down your networks and render your big data analysis inaccurate and useless.To be a true data leader therefore requires the ability to recognise when you need data acceleration tools that use machine learning…

  • To ensure that latency doesn’t affect her ability to receive, transmit and analyse real-time data, she might need to also consider using a data acceleration tool – one that can also permit her to back up and retrieve her data fast. That’s important because even in manufacturing disasters can strike without warning. So it important…

  • The way to get ahead of the game is not to necessarily have an always-on autonomous vehicle that is always connected but to have a means of allowing the vehicle to be self-reliant while allowing data and applications to be updated when a connection exists. With this approach the car when it is beyond the…

  • Skills shortages: David Trossell, CEO and CTO of data acceleration company Bridgeworks, says he’s not surprised by the situation: “It’s not just occurring in the cyber-security world; it’s happening across all sectors in IT at the moment.” He adds that cyber-security is a one against many scenario. “It only takes one hacker to attack thousands…

  • The truth…is that wide area networks will always be the foundation stone of both edge and cloud computing. Secondly, Bittman clearly hasn’t come across data acceleration tools such as PORTrockIT and WANrockIT. While physics is certainly a limiting and challenging factor that will always be at play in networks of all kinds – including WANs,…
