Experts advocate that a proactive approach to data resilience requires identifying threats at the first possible opportunity before they have a chance to infiltrate a system and wreak havoc. Recently, IBM Corp. scientists and engineers developed new techniques for scanning data as it arrives inside a flash array, measuring the entropy of the data — ...

Amid talk of a recession, there are other areas in tech where there’s actually a tailwind — the growth of artificial intelligence and open-source software among them. There’s also a lot more cloud action happening, with more data coming in. In that way, a trend of rightsizing makes sense as a natural evolution of the ...

These days, the cloud cost optimization landscape has emerged as an important topic for customers. It was a key area of focus during theCUBE’s coverage of today’s AWS Savings in the Cloud event. For Apptio Inc., commitment-based discounting is a “critical component” of that landscape. If the goals of optimization are to make sure that every dollar ...

It was a big week at theCUBE, as the Supercloud 3 event, presented by SiliconANGLE and theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, ran July 18-19, featuring a veritable Who’s Who of industry leaders. It was a good time to take stock of the ongoing cloud wars, which are at a complete “wind change” right now, according to theCUBE ...

Next-generation cloud has established software-as-a-service and has brought with it an ecosystem where applications are built on capital expenditures. As the surface area of cloud operations expands, the concept of distributed computing takes center stage, which must be run in cloud operations, bringing potential challenges and opportunities. Even a number of years ago, the writing was ...

As artificial intelligence moves front and center, organizations are facing down a new context when they consider what the proper regime is, and how it should evolve. For Google LLC and Google Cloud, when it comes to considering security across the entire organization, there’s a combination at play of having some central teams that provide ...

When it comes to cloud, there has been no shortage of major developments in recent years. The latest mega trend, supercloud, is just the latest of a long line of revolutions that Jay Cuthrell (pictured), partner at IBM Consulting, has had a front-row view of. It goes back to “edge to core to cloud,” and the world ...

There are many trends worth keeping an eye on in the cloud space, but the ones that are undoubtedly the most topical today involve the intersection of artificial intelligence, cloud and security. When customers are considering multicloud complexity — with AI, multicloud security, cross-cloud security and multicloud economics making things more complicated — they need ...

Society is in the midst of exponential data growth. It’s often been stated in recent months that “every company is a data company.” And there is a battle to be the next great data platform. With the increased demand for data comes a necessity for data storage innovation, as major data storage companies seek to deliver ...

It goes without saying that the game-changer in security these days is generative artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, supercloud is starting to bring forward a revolution when it comes to the connective tissue between clouds — while new apps emerge and independent software vendors turn into platforms. Right in the front row of all of that is ...
