How AI is Changing Modern Networking

Artificial intelligence has changed the landscape of technology, especially as we collect and analyze vast amounts of data. As AI workloads are distributed among compute nodes and across data centers, what problems are posed for traditional networking, and what solutions can we discover? This live discussion between Justin Ryburn, Field CTO at Kentik, and Phillip Gervasi, Director of Technical Evangelism at Kentik, dives deep into the current state of data center networking in the age of AI.

Securing IoMT Devices: Best Practices for Hospitals to Prevent Cyberattacks

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionized the healthcare industry, connecting medical devices to the internet and allowing for greater patient care. However, with this new technology comes new security threats. Hospitals must be aware of these risks and understand how to find, fix and secure connected medical devices to protect their patients from cyberattacks.

Machine Learning for Fast and Accurate Root Cause Analysis

Machine Learning (ML) for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is the state-of-the-art application of algorithms and statistical models to identify the underlying reasons for issues within a system or process. Rather than relying solely on human intervention or time-consuming manual investigations, ML automates and enhances the process of identifying the root cause.

The Plan for InfluxDB 3.0 Open Source

The commercial version of InfluxDB 3.0 is a distributed, scalable time series database built for real-time analytic workloads. It supports infinite cardinality, SQL and InfluxQL as native query languages, and manages data efficiently in object storage as Apache Parquet files. It delivers significant gains in ingest efficiency, scalability, data compression, storage costs, and query performance on higher cardinality data.

Terraform is No Longer Open Source. Is OpenTofu (ex OpenTF) the Successor?

Terraform, a powerful Infrastructure as Code (IAC) tool, has long been the backbone of choice for DevOps professionals and developers seeking to manage their cloud infrastructure efficiently. However, recent shifts in its licensing have sent ripples of concern throughout the tech community. HashiCorp, the company behind Terraform, made a pivotal decision last month to move away from its longstanding open-source licensing, opting instead for the Business Source License (BSL) 1.1.

Securing Open Source Dependencies on Public Cloud

Aaron Whitehouse, Senior Director of Public Cloud Enablement at Canonical, explains why you need to be thinking about open source dependencies in your software pipelines. He covers three main areas of software dependency management: ESM is part of Canonical's Ubuntu Pro offering and gives developers access to approximately 30,000 packages that they can build on, confident in the knowledge that Canonical will patch high and critical vulnerabilities for up to 10 years while preserving API stability -- regardless of the upstream project's support lifecycle.

How ServiceNow is using generative AI capabilities across its operations

As the emerging technologies team within ServiceNow digital transformation (DT), we’re always searching for new technology that can solve complex problems. When we saw how generative AI capabilities could deliver rich experiences and unlock the potential of our technology, people, and processes across the organization, we immediately pivoted to embrace it.

How Technology Revolutionized the Quality Control and Inspection Industry

The way people inspect things for quality has changed a lot because of new technology. This field has hugely transformed with the transition from traditional means of inspection to cutting-edge systems. Now, things are much better in ensuring products and processes are top-notch.

10 Best Practices of Social Media for Business Growth

Social media has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of our daily existence, leaving a significant mark on how we connect, communicate, and access information. It's virtually impossible to fathom a reality without ubiquitous platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Yet, social media's influence extends far beyond personal interactions, as it has evolved into a potent instrument for businesses striving for expansion, enhanced brand visibility, and heightened customer engagement.

How Mobile Apps for Website Monitoring Can Improve User Experience
