Introduction Edge AI is enabling new capabilities that weren’t previously possible by allowing AI functionality to be installed on smartphones, IoT, and other mobile devices, industrial machines, robots, vehicles, and servers located where the data is generated and...
Introduction Today’s networks are more complex than ever and becoming more so every day. The factors driving this ever-increasing complexity include: the widespread use of cloud services and the real-time web, streaming and IoT applications they host; last-mile...
Introduction Many industry observers believe AI is having its “iPhone moment” with the rapid rise of emerging large language models and generative AI applications such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. A big part of what sets generative AI applications apart is...
Introduction AI applications, especially those harnessing large language models (LLMs) for deep learning, have an insatiable appetite for data. LLMs require vast datasets for training and inference, resulting in massive volumes of network traffic. To mitigate...
In a traditional cloud computing implementation, data generated at the edge of the network is sent to centralized cloud servers for processing. These servers can be located anywhere in the world, often in data centers far from the data source. This model works well...
The cost benefits of replacing physical network infrastructure with virtualized software are undeniable. That’s why mobile network operators (MNOs) have embraced network functions virtualization (NFV) to support 5G’s vastly greater infrastructure requirements relative...
VM and network upgrades can improve poor cloud performance in the short-run, but lose effectiveness over time because they don’t address one of its major causes. As a result, successive rounds of increasingly expensive upgrades and budget-busting overprovisioning have...
Over 90% of large enterprises have moved from relying on a single cloud provider, to a hybrid multi-cloud architecture that combines on-premises infrastructure with multiple public clouds.1 They’ve done this largely as a defensive measure against outages like those...
Do you trust Wi-Fi in airplanes, airports, or hotels? GUEST POST by SCOTT EDDY: I’d love to tell you that the internet is a safe place. I’d also love to be able to say that free Wi-Fi in public areas isn’t a threat to your online security. But that’s not the reality....
According to a recent Gartner Survey of 317 corporate CFOs, remote work and telecommuting will become more permanent and widespread after Covid-19. Among the CFOs surveyed, 74% expect to move previously onsite employees to remote work post-Covid-19, in a bid to cut...
