As we move further and further into the age of virtualization, automation, and intelligence known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, software-defined systems and solutions are becoming an increasingly popular answer to many of the computing, storage and networking challenges they face throughout their day-to-day operations. As a result of these trends, the concept of converged …
Video surveillance and security plays a huge part in our everyday lives and is becoming both increasingly widespread and intelligent thanks in large part to the integration of analytics and edge computing that has emerged from the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. While the IoT has expanded into …
The first experiments, in the field of self-driving cars, started back in the 1920s, many years before the internet was even dreamt of. Similarly, technological advancements in computer and smartphone screen technology have developed the way we can see moving images from fairly ordinary 360p (360 lines of data shown on a screen) content, through …
The Internet of Things is a source of consistent upheaval for the technological and operational aspects of our societies. Wave upon wave of technological innovation has brought us to the point at which we currently find ourselves. With so much change occurring within such a relatively short period of time, it is only natural for …
According to UNESCO, by year 2025 one-fifth of the world´s population (approx. 1.8 billion) will face substantial water scarcity, while two-third could be under water-stressed conditions. Adopting IoT and automation for smart water management and development of natural resources can change things and create a better future as far as water security is concerned. Innovations …
The multiple recent reports from Bloomberg claiming instances where server mainboard hardware produced for leading IT firms including Apple and Amazon (among others) had been compromised by manufacturing subcontractors in China has shocked players from a variety of industries that depend on an Asian-based supply chain for electronics hardware. Whether the reports turn out to …
According to a study conducted by Information Services Group back, 72% of the companies by the year 2019 will be relying on Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to increase operational efficiency, productivity and increase compliance. Manufacturing companies that traditionally heavily rely on robotics and automation for production are now looking into RPA to transform other departments …
As software-defined networking (SDN) has become more and more widespread and businesses across the globe have begun to make the transition to virtualization, both enterprises and service providers alike have spotted the potential in markets such as SD-WAN-as-a-service and partnerships between service providers and vendors are becoming increasingly common as more and more companies race …
As the applications for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning continue to grow, more and more businesses and enterprises are becoming interested in utilizing the power of AI and machine learning algorithms within their own operations. However, this isn’t always possible for a large number of businesses and organisations that may wish to do so. …
As we’ve seen over the past two articles in our series on intelligent transportation systems (part 1, part 2), the way in which we travel, and the systems guiding and protecting us, are becoming increasingly intelligent and complex, which in turn has enabled us to devise and develop even more applications for the technologies that …
