Whether in a closet or on a drive, storage has always been about stuffing as much as possible into as small a space as possible. While pack rats dreamed of magical devices that could shrink molecules to micro-size, Dell EMC engineers were focused on data reduction by machine learning. “We use machine learning to take advantage ...

Adopting a multicloud strategy goes beyond installing hyperconverged infrastructure and pressing go. Digitalization affects every department within a business, from frontline customer service to onboarding new hires. Without a cohesive integration, employees have to to deal with multiple apps provided by different vendors and the nightmare of dispersed, unorganized and inaccessible data. In short, a productivity catastrophe. ...

Once upon a time, data storage was simple. Choose a media: Disk or tape? Data was close enough to be delivered on-demand, and firewalls shielded the perimeter, keeping everything safe and secure. Then came cloud. Breaking free of the constraints of solid storage, data roamed wild. On-premises, in the cloud, or on the edge; it ...

We raise our daughters to be fearless, to stand strong and proud. We tell them they are equal to men and encourage them to become engineers, scientists, programmers and mathematicians. We tell them to put themselves and their careers first. Yet children are an unspoken side track in achieving this mantra, a vague possibility for ...

Data science is coming out of the laboratory and into the boardroom. As innovative computing technologies such as cloud, serverless architecture, real-time streaming, and artificial intelligence mature, they are set to converge in a perfect storm of business opportunity. “Where the impact on the business is happening is when you actually integrate AI in chatbots, in ...

In the U.S. more women than men graduate college, yet women still only make up 25% of the technology sector workforce. In Silicon Valley itself, men vastly outnumber women in both engineering and executive posts. And according to Silicon Bank’s “Women in Technology Leadership 2019” report, almost half of all start-ups have no women at all ...

Despite the emphasis on bringing girls into the science, technology, engineering and math fields, the number of women working in technology is on a steady decline. It’s not because they aren’t satisfied: 80% of women employed in scientific, engineering and technology jobs say they “love their work.” Yet, 56% of women quit tech careers midstream. If women are ...

No attitude, no overtime, no personal distractions. Robotic process automation is a human resource manager’s dream. It doesn’t sound bad to workers either. Handing over those repetitive tasks means more time to be truly productive at work. So how do you hire a digital colleague? It’s not like they have LinkedIn profiles. A search for ...

Humanity has a long-held dream of enlisting robots to take over the mundane. For over a hundred years, science fiction has conjured mechanical beings to perform the yawn-inducing tasks that waste hours of human productivity every day. As artificial intelligence makes the leap from sci-fi to cy-phy, digital colleagues are hiring themselves out. Finally, bots can ...

True or False: Technology has become incrementally cheaper and better over the past 20 years? True seems the obvious answer. However, while price and performance have improved in virtually every sector, one critical technology has not followed the curve. Despite its increased importance in the cloud-computing era, network infrastructure remains relatively expensive and has been slow to ...
