The potential for disrupting business is much greater when you decommission a data center than if you’re constructing one. The process involves a lot more than just shutting down servers, turning off switches, and dismantling storage racks. In this article, we’ll consider some of the specifics and best practices required to achieve a smooth decommissioning process.
Industry 4.0 technology is transforming industry all over the world. Digital innovations such as data, virtual reality, automation, and robotics are all helping brands create products and services and deliver them to customers in better and more efficient ways than ever before. One of the most useful elements of Industry 4.0 technology comes from the Internet of Things.
If you’re logging onto a service or running remote command line operations over a network link via the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the last thing you need is for your session to be cut off by a faulty connection. This scenario is all too common – but for Linux users, the Screen utility can prevent it from occurring.
Though much of the coverage of artificial intelligence or AI has been hype, the technology itself is real enough – and gaining traction in the commercial sphere. In fact, AI is increasingly being viewed as an integral requirement for business IT setups, rather than a luxury or fad. The research firm Gartner, Inc., predicts that more than 30 percent of data centers that fail to sufficiently prepare for AI will no longer be operationally or economically viable by 2020.
If you’re an Android user, relying on data from your cellular provider is one way of avoiding the risks of free public Wi-Fi – especially if you don’t have the tools or services necessary to give you full protection. Android also has a huge and widely varied user base distributed across the globe. Many of these users operate in regions where free or paid Wi-Fi isn’t even an option. In such instances, going online via cellular data is the only choice they have.
Software of all kinds requires information to do its work. At the back end of most programs you’ll usually find some form of database, which has been created or selected and configured to run specifically with that application. In creating that database or making a selection from the wide range of products available, there are several factors to consider. We’ll be looking at these criteria, in this article.
Cybersecurity is a hot topic. With high profile breaches making headlines on almost a monthly basis, combined with a far more restrictive regulatory environment, the need to responsibly protect your customers’ data has never been felt more keenly. It is estimated that a business is subjected to a ransomware attack every 14 seconds, predicted to drop to eleven seconds by 2021.
If you own a Google Pixel smartphone (or one of a couple of other models) Android’s latest update is finally here. If you own another model of Android smartphone then you’ll have to wait a little longer, but that’s nom de rigueur for the operating system. Dubbed Android 10, the new update has abandoned the usual confectionary based naming scheme in favour of a straight numbering system – possibly following Windows’ and Apple’s lead.
The landscape of cybersecurity is always changing, and new threats are constantly emerging. One of the newest – and the most interesting, if you are into that kind of thing – is the rise of printer malware. This type of malware started to be reported in November 2017, when Barracuda Labs saw an attack where cybercriminals spoofed a printer to send a malicious attachment that appeared to be a legitimate file sent by a network printer.
By Des Nnochiri Robotic process automation, or RPA, promises to increase efficiency and improve work rates at reduced cost to the enterprise. In this article, we’ve assembled eight of the top RPA tools currently on the market. Of course, there are considerations to bear in mind before implementing this emerging technology.
