David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks, examines how artificial intelligence and machine learning can support humans and networks in this article for Data Center Journal.

Let’s face it, the cloud isn’t for everyone, but nevertheless it has its merits. Yet before you go and invest in new technology or move to it, you should examine whether your existing infrastructure is sufficient to do the job you need it for. Ask yourself questions, including: “the hyperconvergence story: what’s really important?” In…

ComputerWeekly’s Cliff Saran writes that ‘AWS Outage Shows Vulnerability of Cloud Disaster Recovery’ in his article of 6th March 2017. He cites the S3 outage suffered by Amazon Web…

Challenges of realising the platooning dream explored by Graham Jarvis. The impression that many people get is that driverless cars may grab the headlines but semi-automated convoys of trucks are much closer to being seen on the nation’s roads. While that may be true, companies such as BP Ventures are investors in truck platooning with…

One large global banking firm wanted the ability to back up, restore and recover their data from their datacentres. It thought it had to build another datacentre – not too close, not too far away from its existing datacentre. The thing is this company probably has the facilities it needs on site already.
