Ask most Americans what they know about the land just across our southern border and chances are they will tell you about out-of-control drug related violence, a governmental structure that is highly corrupted and a less than stellar physical infrastructure.

In just over a week, the team here at SiliconANGLE will be setting off for Cambridge, Massachusetts for the 7th Annual MIT Chief Data Officer and Information Quality Symposium held on the MIT campus. The theme this year is ‘Big Data Demands Good Data’. In preparation for the event, we will be presenting a synopsis ...

IT departments at the end of the last decade operated with the same reckless abandon as the homesteaders of the 1889 land rush, seeking to grab up as much cloud storage capability as their budgets might allow.

The standardized width of US train tracks is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. And I learned in a recent forwarded e-mail from a certain senior in my life that this standard could be traced back through history to tramways in the UK that were built to that standard because wagon builders had spaced their wheels that ...

Earlier this year, SiliconANGLE’s own Maria Deutscher penned an article on QLogic’s FabricCache and how it could be well positioned for the flash storage revolution. This new adapter bridges the chasm between servers by allowing direct-attached storage, typically unable to be shared between servers, to connect embedded SSDs with SAN. According to Wikibon analyst Stu ...
