How network management has changed. Corporate networks were formerly about the local area network (LAN) and keeping everyone in the company connected. As the internet age appeared, stronger connections were needed to the outside world. Then Wi-Fi took hold. Companies now need to provide strong wireless LANs as well as help remote employees establish good […]

Robotics has made massive advances in recent years. Fields such as Robotics Process Automation (RPA) are being deployed in more and more businesses. RPA software is needed to combine organizational processes with the actions of the robots and AI inputs. RPA software automates repetitive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming tasks, minimizing or eliminating human involvement to drive […]

Natural Language Processing (NLP) used to be incredibly glitchy. But times change and vast improvements have been made.  NLP is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on helping computers understand the way that humans write and speak. As such, these systems capture meaning from an input of words and produce an output that […]

Deep learning (DL) could be defined as a form of machine learning based on artificial neural networks which harness multiple processing layers in order to extract progressively better and more high-level insights from data. In essence it is simply a more sophisticated application of artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and machine learning (ML).  Here are some […]

Workforce woes have been with us for a year or more. A great many entry-level positions are going unfilled, most retail shops are posting job vacancies, and of course, pay rates are rising. Countries such as Japan saw the writing on the wall some time ago and have been among the leaders in harnessing artificial […]

In software-as-a-service (SaaS), a user logs onto a site via the web, and the application’s functions are delivered over the web.  Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) is a little different. Instead of a service, an entire platform is delivered from the cloud. This platform is then used for the development, running, and management of applications. The big advantage […]

Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) gives users access to actual cloud-hosted physical and virtual servers, storage, and networking.  IaaS is growing significantly in popularity and differs from platform-as-a-service (PaaS), which gives users access to compute and storage.  Here are some of the top trends companies and IT teams are seeing in the IaaS market:  1. Elimination of downtime  […]

At first, it was all about going to the cloud — singular. These days, it is hard to avoid being on multiple clouds simultaneously.  Even those that try to consolidate on to only AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud often find that some of their services go through other managed service providers. Hence multiple clouds are […]

After the initial rush to the public cloud, some organizations wanted their own cloud.  They needed to assure data security, comply with regulations, or otherwise keep their information separated from general cloud storage.  Private clouds emerged to provide them with the benefits of the cloud but set apart from public cloud resources.  Here are some […]

The public cloud is everywhere. Even those who are against it and try not to use it, can’t avoid it.  It is woven into so many systems, applications, and services, that a public cloud-less soul is hard to find.  Here are the some of the top trends companies and IT teams are seeing in the […]
