The key challenge of directional innovations is the question of their energy efficiency, since IoT, SmartHome, etc. do not only have a demand for new computing capacities, but also a new demand for energy.
It is now almost as easy to set up a 100 Gbps or faster optical connection across hundreds to a thousand kilometers or more as it for a short few hundred meters between racks at an interconnect point.
Historically, data centers had been located in remote locations. Cities were simply too expensive – from the land to energy costs. When the biggest priority was lowering the price per kilowatt, cities simply could not...
If you’ve been frustrated by the limitations of incremental backups and differential backups for the enterprise, an “incremental forever/virtual full” approach may make sense for your organization.
After migrating data centers and applications, financial companies often find that the cloud delivers other unexpected benefits in the area of compliance.
Besides personal applications, AI is beginning to integrate into corporate and government networks. As it does so, IT Service Management (ITSM) organizations will have the responsibility to keep these systems up and...
What’s needed is flexibility and simplicity to interconnect geographically separated data centers through a single, consistent policy-driven framework.
It’s a myth that the public cloud is cost effective in all environments or for all workloads. The answer as to whether the public cloud is more or less expensive depends a great deal on the workload, the application...
ICT is now the technology that creates scientific discoveries, powers financial innovation, and develops the latest in product design. And the application of information technology is not in any way slowing down.
I believe the rapid acceleration of the Internet of Things will actually result in the cloud reverting back to storing data for future reference – versus processing data on an ongoing basis.
