Many see artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing as a major part of what is being termed a “new industrial revolution.” This next stage of industrialization is being driven by robotics, digitalization, and AI. Combined, they make it possible to automate a great many time-consuming manual tasks, integrate information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems, […]

The rapid adoption of cloud services is driving enterprise customers to move their business-crucial applications and workloads into the cloud rather than on-premises and private data centers. Enterprise customers are starting to transform their WAN architecture to cloud-based networking. This change is driven by distributed and remote connectivity needs. The new architecture allows customers to […]

Network mapping trends have changed significantly in recent years. While the basics remain the same — the discovery and visualization of physical and virtual network connectivity to create a network map—the shifting sands of the IT and networking landscapes have had an impact on this evolving marketplace.  Among the many vectors affecting the space, Datamation.com […]

The network mapping market is one element of the larger network management and monitoring sector. Network mapping itself could be described as the process of discovering and visualizing physical and virtual network connectivity. This is accomplished in a combination of ways. The goal is to create a network map as well as flow charts, network […]

The transportation sector is ripe for the benefits that the Internet of Things (IoT) can bring.  “Beyond what IoT is inside of vehicles, transportation is deploying the IoT, particularly in ground-based applications, spanning the tracking, positioning, and telemetric measurement to gain awareness into traffic management,” said Greg Schulz, an analyst at StorageIO Group. “Surveillance and […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) is being promoted in the energy sector as though it is something new. In tandem with digital transformation, the utility industry, power producers, and oil & gas players are being inundated with messaging that they need to digitally transform now.  But the reality is that these trends have been going […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) in the health care and medical industries is at an advanced stage in some areas and sorely lacking in others. Some applications such as heart and other monitors provide major amounts of data to health care professionals. However, within hospital systems, silos of data and legacy equipment hamper the broad […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) in the automotive industry is probably at a more advanced stage than most other verticals. Car manufacturers have been putting sensors into cars for decades. With each passing year, they add more.  “From entertainment, situational awareness (e.g., instruments, status, health, performance, location, tracking), autonomous and semi-autonomous operation, vehicles are a […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) in marketing has been in heavy use for some time. But the sophistication of the systems has steadily improved — and promises to make a giant leap in the immediate future.  Images of the Spielberg-Cruise movie “Minority Report” come to mind. As the lead character walks through the mall, AI bots recognize […]

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a variety of positive outcomes in human resources (HR) departments. AI helps HR professionals stay on top of trends, understand employee sentiment, streamline the acquisition of talent, and detect indications of dissatisfaction or imminent departure. The Need for AI in HR   Fewer HR personnel are being […]
