Consumers run the show on their laptop and mobile devices. A slowpoke webpage or lackluster software application can be history with a single click or swipe. Apps must keep their acts together with rapid iteration and applied data analytics, or hit the recently closed receptacle in a blink. “We live in a world where the customer attention ...

Venture capitalists lavished $10.8 billion on artificial intelligence and machine learning technology companies in 2017, according to PitchBook Data Inc. They’ve placed major bets that AI innovation can’t go far or fast enough to meet demand. But controversial use cases — like when algorithms decide the fate of the criminally tried — and the danger of coded-in ...

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation is “hoovering up” heavy-weight industry sponsors who leverage its popular open-source projects. Enterprise adoption of cloud-native architectures isn’t vrooming along at quite the same pace thanks to complexities, though interest is palpable. Can big tech dollars and a little end-user feedback finally manifest the simplified Kubernetes both camps crave for container orchestration ...

What is it about women who not only nab jobs but achieve excellence in technology? Silicon Valley’s sexist company cultures are practically a meme thanks to the stream of corroborating headlines. For women techies to advance despite this, they must be one-in-a-million mega STEM wonders, right? One winner at the CloudNOW 6th Annual Top 10 Women ...

Since its debut, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.’s memory-driven supercomputer project, The Machine, has had industry analysts scratching their heads. Where is the product? they asked. The company’s new Machine kindred, Superdome Flex in-memory computing platform, may be a sneak peek. “It’s a better product that neither company could have delivered on their own,” said Mike Woodacre ...

Industrial “internet of things” edge computing demands that multiple parts — software, hardware, data, information technology and operations teams — work in tandem. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. and GE Digital LLC are pooling their technologies in global initiatives to improve Industrial IoT and asset performance management. “In the world of IoT, things are blurring a ...

How does a company construct the perfect multicloud environment? Should they agonize over which on-premises or public clouds offer the best services or cost efficiency and then toss in all their applications? Actually, they ought to let the apps themselves lead the way, according to Flynn Maloy (pictured, left), vice president of Pointnext marketing at Hewlett Packard Enterprise ...

Faster data ingestion and querying sounds like a fine thing, but does it translate to concrete advances in applications? What about pure business value? Database accelerators let companies plug in real-time speed and see for themselves. “The applications enable customers to do things they were not capable of doing before,” said Karsten Rönner (pictured), chief executive ...

Lugging all data from “internet of things” connected devices back to the cloud for processing may work in theory or testing but not so much when a developed product goes live. For a product to claim artificial intelligence, it must show its stuff with on-the-spot, instant inferences; there’s no time for trips back to the data ...

What good are decades-old hardware roots in the newfangled era of cloud and software-defined computing? Perhaps the old guard style of servicing customers is just what some young technology vendors lack. “Rather than being a legacy provider protecting the status quo, we see ourselves as the challengers trying to shift the discussion to the future,” ...
