Manchester was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, leading the world into the era of factories and urbanization. So it is fitting that the city is now one of the top U.K. centers for technological transformation. “Outside of London, Manchester is the place that people want to be,” said Bob Brown, (pictured), chief information officer of the Manchester ...

Delivering to next-generation standards is the eternal quest of technology companies. Fortune-tellers and industry analysts alike predict cloud computing to explode into a diversity of public, private, edge and distributed clouds. It all creates a multicloud environment where the ability to move software applications and data between clouds will be key. Evolving to anticipate the ...

Analysts who predicted edge computing would kill the cloud will be surprised to see cloud computing software company Nutanix Inc. announcing its new Xi IoT intelligent edge computing service. So what makes a company known for hyperconverged infrastructure appliances and software-defined storage embrace edge computing? Satyam Vaghani (pictured), vice president and general manager of IoT and AI at Nutanix, spoke with Stu ...

New computing environments call for new security measures, and data’s expansion into serverless, distributed clouds creates an ever-changing and vulnerable surface of attack. As Kubernetes becomes a de facto platform for orchestrating containerized software applications, securing Kubernetes at scale has become a necessity in cloud computing. “What you may be looking at today is a small Kubernetes cluster with ...

Three years ago the big question was: “On-prem or in-cloud?” Today’s answer is both, as the majority of companies adopt hybrid solutions. However, the question turns to the complexity of securing data that is dispersed over multiple platforms. Taking steps to solve this issue is N2W Software Inc.’s Backup & Recovery version 2.4, announced during AWS re:Invent 2018 this week ...

The racetrack is the birthplace of new technology for the automobile and motorcycle world, hence the catch-phrase: “Race on Sunday; sell on Monday.” Now, thanks to a collaboration with hybrid cloud data services and data management company NetApp Inc., legendary Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati Motor Holding SpA is taking the popular saying literally. “We transform ...

Artificial intelligence algorithms rely on high-level compute, memory, and storage capabilities to support real-time data analysis and insight. So, while the spotlight often falls on the software that brings the magic, wise investors remember that hardware is the cornerstone that makes advances in artificial intelligence possible. “Micron plays a pivotal role here because our memory, our ...

Security might seem fundamental for an industry focused on fomenting a digital currency revolution, but the crypto industry seems to have somehow skipped the basics in its rush to decentralize banking. Recent losses from poorly protected cryptocurrency exchanges have exposed just how vulnerable the industry’s assets really are. If blockchain is really ready to enter the ...

Security has seemingly fallen by the wayside in the cryptocurrency goldrush, leaving an industry exposed to black-hat hackers who use a simple phishing attack to walk off with millions of dollars from cryptocurrency exchanges or initial coin offerings. “Hundreds of millions of dollars are stolen from exchanges, and 10 percent of all the money [in ICOs] has ...

The lines between on-premises, cloud and edge computing continue to blur, and digital data has become scattered and muddled across the disparate environments. To handle the newfound complexities of managing big data, businesses need flexible computing infrastructure that can run autonomously, boosted by machine learning and artificial intelligence to unscramble the chaos and access key insights. Looking to meet the challenge is Cohesity ...
