The following contribution from a writer at Argonne National Labs is another compelling example of advanced scale computing’s impact on industry – in this case, the movie industry. Animated film production has a voracious appetitie for compute power, and in this article John Spizzirri looks at the potential impact of exascale (a billion billion calculations ...Full article
There are few enterprises accumulating more sensor and video data than the U.S. Department of Defense. For analysts, that means sitting for hours each day in front of screens observing full-motion video and other reconnaissance data to spot threats. That, military leaders have concluded, is a poor use of analysts’ skills. In response, the Pentagon ...Full article
Among the emerging solutions for securing application containers in production is an application layer security tool that is itself a container. Startup NeuVector, which announced early stage venture funding this week, is pitching a cloud-native container firewall that seeks to secure application containers and their host networks at their most vulnerable points: during runtime. San ...Full article
Multiple cloud deployments are boosting adoption and revenues for private clouds, concludes a batch of new OpenStack surveys. OpenStack deployments are predicted to rise at a 30-percent annual clip over the next five years to an estimated $6.7 billion in revenue by 2021 as production deployments grow and the platform benefits directly from the shift ...Full article
Who are you when you fly? It may sound like a silly question, but airlines find that it’s remarkably difficult to get a clear answer in real time. It’s also at the center of a new silo-busting Customer 360 system that JetBlue recently implemented to take its customer experience to the next level. Since it ...Full article
Many companies are moving key applications (CRM, HR, finance) to the cloud to maximize IT efficiency, minimize IT costs and improve business agility. For the same reasons, key infrastructure elements (security, storage) are also going to the cloud. However, wireless networks have been slower to adopt this transition, with the vast majority of the wireless ...Full article
Developers are painfully aware of the risks inherent in deploying applications on the open Internet, but few are using tools designed to secure code and mitigate risks. A survey released by Node.js JavaScript runtime vendor NodeSource and software security startup Sqreen found that more than one-third of the Node.js developers and executives it polled expect ...Full article
VMware has moved deeper into the networking sector with its deal to acquire a startup focused on wide-area networks used to connect datacenters.

C3 IoT's indisputably impressive track record in IoT, comprised of major corporate implementations in the U.S. (including Con Edison) and EMEA, now extends to the Department of Defense. The Tom Siebel-led company, founded in 2009 and reformulated two years later around IoT, has several hundred million sensors under management, which apparently is far more than ...Full article
As developers flock to artificial intelligence frameworks in response to the explosion of intelligent machines, training deep learning models has emerged as a priority along with synching them to a growing list of neural and other network designs. All are being aligned to confront some of the next big AI challenges, including training deep learning ...Full article
Norton Healthcare, the regional healthcare provider based in Louisville, found itself grappling with a situation confronted by many data-intensive companies: ungoverned, siloed, inconsistently formatted data that remains stubbornly resistant to analytics and, thus, to providing much value. Michelle Kannapel is director of business intelligence and financial analytics at Norton, which has 240 locations (five hospitals) ...Full article
Last week IBM reported successfully using one million phase change memory (PCM) devices to implement and demonstrate an unsupervised learning algorithm running in memory. It’s another interesting and potentially important step in the quickening scramble to develop in-memory computing techniques to overcome the memory-to-processor data transfer bottlenecks that are inherent in von Neumann architecture. IBM ...Full article
A few months after we started Qumulo in 2012, VMware bought Nicira, a hot software- defined networking company, for $1.25 billion. As always, whenever a company without products in general availability fetches that kind of money, it attracts attention. Within six months, my good friend, Datrium’s Brian Biles, had refined the nascent Wikipedia entry for ...Full article
Despite intense competition in the booming cloud market, Amazon Web Services remains the overwhelming infrastructure-as-a-service leader by a wide margin, a cloud marker tracker concludes. AWS is "in a league of its own," Synergy Research Group asserted in a market analysis released last week after top cloud vendors reported sterling third quarter results. Synergy Research ...Full article
Intel Corp. reported strong revenue growth during its third quarter as its "data-centric" strategy begins to take hold in key technology sectors like all-flash storage. Meanwhile, it is readying a new AI chip. Intel was among several leading U.S. technology companies reporting strong revenues this week along with Amazon and Google. The chipmaker reported revenue ...Full article
More evidence is emerging of the inexorable shift of analytics and related workloads to the cloud, with adopters feeling more confident about hybrid infrastructure in their search for ways to become more agile, a new cloud study finds. While a sizeable number of executives remain skeptical that proprietary data will remain secure in the cloud, ...Full article
Imagine a farm without herbicides, insecticides or pesticides; a farm that cuts water consumption by 95 percent; that uses no fertilizer and thus generates no polluting run-off; that has a dozen crop cycles per year instead of the usual three, making it hundreds of times more productive than conventional farms; a farm that can continually ...Full article
