Earlier this month, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) released the results of its CNCF Survey for 2019. Some of those results included:

A few months ago, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania published the article Four Ways Leaders Can Gain Value from AI and Advanced Analytics.

Information, as they say, is power.

According to Axios, in 2018 alone, Americans spent an estimated $3.65 trillion on healthcare. For some context, that’s more than the total GDP of Brazil.

Enterprises are changing the way they use technology in order to respond to increasing competition.

Business intelligence, advanced analytics, machine learning—each requires a robust data platform to be effective.

Kubernetes rules the roost when it comes to the modern development of applications. But for many enterprises, adopting it comes with a steep learning curve and requires new technical skills.

Red Hat’s enterprise-ready Kubernetes platform, OpenShift, has been designed to provide companies with the speed and power of cloud-based development on premises and in the cloud.

Moving to a hybrid cloud solution can offer a number of benefits for your enterprise. These include the ability to shift workloads that burst in usage to the cloud, ease of scalability, and...

Late last year, an article in Forbes highlighted some predictions from IDC and Forrester on artificial intelligence (AI) usage in 2020 and beyond.

As we’ve covered in a recent blog post, more and more enterprises are adopting AI in some form or fashion. In general, there are four reasons why:

80% of time is spent preparing data, the other 20% is spent complaining about preparing the data.

With more and more enterprises looking to adopt containers and Kubernetes in order to accelerate their development process, one question we often hear from clients is: How do we get started?

Your enterprise has a large amount of data, with more and more coming in every second of every day.

Arrikto, a Palo Alto startup that focuses on cloud-native storage, recently held a webinar walking participants through a demonstration of how multi-cloud Machine Learning (ML) workflows can be...

In short order, Kubernetes has become the predominant development platform.

The cloud is quickly becoming the solution of choice for enterprises looking to store and access their data. The reasons are compelling: lower costs, more flexibility, ability to scale quickly.

Large amounts of data can provide an enterprise with very real and very actionable insight—if that data is properly managed.

As enterprises dive into AI adoption, it is critical that they understand industry trends. The recent Forbes article, Top Artificial Intelligence (AI) Predictions for 2020 from IDC and Forrester...

On the first of January 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) went into effect, placing new burdens on organizations that do business in or with residents of California. Which means a...

From automation and data analysis, to internal communications and customer service, there’s a lot of power in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

One key to application modernization is moving from VMs for development to containers and Kubernetes.

With many enterprises looking to change the way they use technology in response to increasing competition and expectations, accelerating the delivery of high-quality products is critical.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has graduated from buzzword to technical reality. For many enterprises, however, large hurdles remain in actually adopting AI into their businesses.

If data is the currency of today’s enterprises, analytics is the key to unlocking access to that currency. Without accurate analytics, data is just dormant information—useless, wasted, and needlessly...

Maybe you’re deploying cloud-native tech stacks on-premises because you’ve reached a size where utilizing the public cloud is no longer cost-effective.

Google Anthos is a hybrid cloud platform with the power to give your enterprise the speed and flexibility you need to stay competitive.

High-performance AI is the key to unlocking insights and opportunities in data-intensive environments.

While most cloud providers offer similar products and services, each has its own unique tools that play well with its model.

Agility and speed are the secrets to staying competitive. Maintaining governance and security are the costs of doing business. The question is: How do you achieve both?

Basically, it comes down to...

There’s a lot of potential in Machine Learning (ML). Unfortunately, there are also a number of obstacles companies hit when it comes to realizing that potential.

By some estimates, close to 90% of Machine Learning (ML) projects developed by data scientists fail. This translates into wasted resources and the potential of ML being deployed at a snail’s pace.

It’s no secret there are substantial costs in running your own datacenter—both monetarily and for the environment.

For the good of the planet and your own bottom line, reducing these costs should be...

Why? Because while the end goals of utilizing data may be the...

Speed to market is a competitive edge. If your company is still employing traditional software development processes—monolithic apps, waterfall development, and slow deployments—then embracing...

Edge computing is the process of bringing compute and storage closer to where it’s needed. This has some obvious benefits, including:

Last month, a release on Business Wire caught our eye. Here’s how it starts, emphasis ours:

If your company is still shackled to the traditional development cycle, microservers can help break you free and provide better outcomes for your customers.

If your company is increasingly relying on Big Data, you’ve probably encountered issues with managing all the information in your various workloads.

Companies that embrace the public cloud are able to unlock a number of benefits, from cost-savings and flexibility, to accelerated development cycles and deployment.

According to projections from the International Data Corporation (IDC), worldwide IT spending is expected to reach $5.3 trillion in 2020.

It used to be that working on monolithic applications was a tedious process, vulnerable to catastrophic crashes that made an entire application inoperable for an extended period of time.

There are good reasons for a company to repatriate application workloads from public cloud to on-premises or co-location datacenters. Often, exploring cost savings is a driving factor. Most often,...

Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help companies unlock entire new ways to analyze and put to work massive amounts of data.

These days, there are more tools than ever at the disposal of app developers. So many, in fact, that it can be hard to keep track of what they all are, what they do, and which ones are a cut above.

Last April, Dell EMC caused a stir by announcing a new service aimed at making the buying, installing, and usage of new servers on-premises as similar as possible to spinning up VM’s in the cloud....

There are many reasons why a company would want to have its own on-premises infrastructure. If your organization is considering doing so, there are two questions you should ask first.

When it comes to scaling enterprises, it used to be said that there are three ways to scale: cheaper, better, and faster. Pick two.

However, with new and emerging technologies evolving around cloud...
