Staying in front of security threats is an increasingly difficult proposition. Despite a mind-boggling array of sophisticated tools, solutions and systems, the risks continue to grow.  That’s where threat intelligence enters the picture. It attempts to step beyond traditional antivirus and other malware protection and offer insights and protection proactively. As zero-day attacks and polymorphic […]

Edge computing is a broad term that refers to a highly distributed computing framework that moves compute and storage resources closer to the exact point they’re needed—so they’re available at the moment they’re needed. Edge computing companies provide solutions that reduces latency, speeds processing, optimizes bandwidth and introduces entirely different features and capabilities that aren’t […]

Over a few short years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved from an intriguing concept with limited capabilities into a full-fledged platform for IT and business. Organization are increasingly turning IoT platforms to perform an array of tasks, ranging from real-time inventory visibility and predictive maintenance systems to energy and smart buildings. They’re also […]

Given the speed and complexity of the cloud computing era, application performance monitoring (APM) is an increasingly important element of successful business. When critical applications like Big Data software runs slowly, productivity drops, IT costs rise, and employees and customers can become frustrated. Application performance monitoring targets these issues. It provides tools for managing code, […]

A hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution is a primary tool for connecting, managing and operating interconnected enterprise systems in a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). The technology helps organizations virtualize storage, servers, and networks. While converged infrastructure uses hardware to achieve this objective, HCI takes a software-centric approach. To be sure, hyperconvergence has its pros and cons. Yet the advantages are […]

Stream analytics software analyzes current and historical data as it travels across networks, into and out of databases and through application programming interfaces (APIs). As a key component of data analytics, this ability to monitor and understand data in real time is at the center of today’s digital enterprise. But achieving success is a growing challenge, particularly as […]

Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) taps artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline and simplify information technology (IT) management. The technology collects data across increasingly complex IT infrastructure, identifying key patterns and events, and automating problem resolution. AIOps platforms typically relies on advanced analytics and machine learning tools to identify the root cause of issues and problems—and address them […]

Metadata management solutions play a key role in managing data for organizations of all shapes and sizes, particularly in the cloud computing era. The need for a framework to aggregate and manage diverse sources of Big Data and data analytics — and extract the maximum value from it — is indisputable. Metadata management is designed […]

The term artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computing systems that perform tasks normally considered within the realm of human decision making. These software-driven systems and intelligent agents incorporate advanced data analytics and Big Data applications. AI systems leverage this knowledge repository to make decisions and take actions that approximate cognitive functions, including learning and problem […]

Data centers serve as the foundation for the modern enterprise. They power the IT systems that run complex businesses, including servers, backup systems, telecommunications equipment, and numerous other technology components. More than 8.5 million data centers exist worldwide, and the figure in the U.S. now tops 3 million. Keeping systems up and running is paramount. […]
