Two-thirds of organizations implementing hybrid cloud report they’re already gaining competitive advantage from their hybrid environments and are nearly three times as likely to use it to assemble data assets or monetize data, according to findings released by IBM (NYSE: IBM).
With a hybrid cloud approach, organizations can be selective about when to use cloud and when to use traditional IT infrastructure – delivering the best functionality while meeting speed and flexibility needs, as well a...Mar. 12, 2016 02:30 AM EST Reads: 325
Internet of Things (IoT) platforms have evolved. Advances in technology make it possible for facilities to become more data-driven by connecting to energy assets, thereby improving building resiliency and reducing energy costs. By creating an Energy Network of Things, facilities can manage energy assets in real-time, institute system-wide operational oversight and compliance, execute energy efficiency programs, utilize real-time data, and support budgeting and asset planning across local and geo...

As the Cloud becomes more of a norm as part of enterprise computing, enterprises now have to deal with the issue of how to ensure that the applications effectively use the attributes of cloud. There are monolithic applications of the previous era that are continuing to be migrated to the cloud using a lift and shift approach or with minimal changes, they do get benefitted with certain attributes of cloud like availability and management, but there is also emerging a new set of application architecture namely the ‘cloud native applications.'
Believe it or not, the first data backups were made on paper. Dating back as early as the 18th century, the "technology" was used in the form of paper tapes constructed from punch cards to control the functions of automated machinery such as textile looms. The concept of these cards was then further developed by IBM in the early days of data processing, where data input, storage and commands were captured using a series of hole punches.
In 1956, IBM introduced the 350 disk storage unit - the first ever hard disk drive. It was 60 inches in length, stood nearly 70 inches tall and had a capaci...
Big Data analytics and the Internet of Things are still relative newcomers. Given how quickly technology moves, though, it’s not surprising that their next incarnations are already being talked about: cognitive analytics and a much-grown Internet of Things (IoT).
We all know about the Internet of Things: it’s data from a host of Web-connected devices that can be analyzed and studied, just like traditional data analytics. But what is cognitive analytics? Think back to old sci-fi shows. Remember the insanely smart, almost-human robot sidekick? Cognitive analytics isn’t there yet, but it does em...
Today, in most data centers, cloud, no Structured Query Language (No-SQL) and analytics infrastructures have been largely deployed on a direct-attached storage (DAS) architecture and is generally a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) -driven deployment.
The DAS approach binds the compute and storage resources together, preventing independent scaling and tech refresh cycles. The converged DAS model works very well at smaller scale, but as the infrastructure grows to a substantial size, wasted compute or storage can greatly affect the TCO of the environment. Since the DAS model is constrained by the ...
Cloud computing can get confusing sometimes. For IT professionals who have been part of technology for the last few years sometimes new terminology is just a way to redefine things that were done in the past. “We’ve done that since 1995,” or “We used to do that in the ’80s,” is not an uncommon response that we sometimes hear when we speak about new things.
Cloud computing is one such area that has its roots in the 1970s when the remote job entry system did somewhat of what today’s cloud computing technology does, but at a very small, miniature scale.

While drones are responsible for one of the latest tech crazes to hit the mainstream, it’s safe to say that you should not expect them to invade your airspace anytime soon. However, the influx of these flying smart machines may not be as far off as you might think. With heavy-hitters like Amazon, Google and Walmart recognizing the immense opportunity of using drones for shipping and logistics purposes, its no wonder that people are saying “the drones are coming!”
*This is part of a series of blogs examining Sensor-2-Server (S2S) communications, development, security and implementation.
For the past two weeks, we’ve taken an in-depth look at what Sensor-2-Server communications are, how to implement these systems, and some of the specific aspects of communication that these systems facilitate. This week, for our final installment, we’ll examine some of the benefits, as well as security considerations, for S2S communications.
Sensors allow us to digitally monitor our physical world, and take real-time action on the data from afar. Plant managers, in fact, can manage multiple manufacturing locations around the world in real-time via sensors and Internet connectivity. Drone pilots in the Nevada desert; project military force by flying combat missions around the world via sensors and remote control. Trucking companies can track and manage, via telematics, thousands of trucks, trailers and their cargo all across the country in real-time. As automation increases due to advances in sensors, bandwidth, artificial inte...
Manufacturing is in the midst reinventing itself on the heels of the latest IoT innovations. The industrial automation paradigm, which some say also gave rise to the lean manufacturing management philosophy, continues to influence organizations that wish to find new ways to capitalize on business opportunities in the digital age. Through that lens we gathered the top articles from the week and found some interesting perspectives. Some reports started suggesting manufacturing is in a time of trouble, both in the U.S. and around the globe, namely in places like China. But upon further investigat...
Advances in technology are redefining how energy assets are managed. Buildings that use energy IoT technology can connect to and manage their energy assets in real-time. They can institute system-wide operational oversight and compliance, execute energy efficiency programs, utilize real-time data, and support budgeting and asset planning across local and geographically-dispersed sites with first-of-its-kind connectivity.
A recent article in BusinessWeek (January 19, 2016) titled “Better Living Through Robots” indicates that productivity-enhancing technology innovation has reached its end. Experts such as Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason University and the author of “The Great Stagnation”, believe that America has “eaten all the low-hanging fruit” for realizing the economic impact from new technology innovations.
Wow, guess it’s time to pack in all this excitement about big data and data science and get ready for a lifetime of “stasis in the way offices work, stasis in the way retailers work, and stas...
Storage has finally become an interesting field, full of innovation and change, addressing growing new requirements for storage flexibility, density and performance. The falling prices of flash, the introduction of various flavors of storage class memory, combined with increasing appetite for commoditization of the data center infrastructure, has helped fuel the innovation in how data is stored and accessed.
Companies are faced with the challenges of how to store their ever growing data efficiently, at a cost point that is palatable to CTOs and CFOs, while keeping the right levels of perfor...
