NetApp All Flash Reference Architectures for VMware Horizon - NetApp Community

With flash solutions today much of the emphasis is on cost and performance, and that’s no surprise. Flash storage solutions are being offered at a much more affordable cost per useable Gigabyte, and we are seeing more and more virtualized environments demanding the high performance, low latency that flash delivers. Another characteristic that customers are looking for in flash-based solutions is simplicity: How easy is it to deploy and manage in my IT environment?  Easy set-up and rapid deployment is important, however, ongoing optimization and management also needs to be considered as a key attribute of simplicity.  Given the dynamics of cloud-enabled IT environments customers are looking for proven, integrated solutions that can easily accommodate change and evolve with their infrastructure and strategy.

Wearables At Work: Are They Fit for the Workplace?

Thanks to the increasing miniaturization of components, a decline
in sensor and chip prices, longer battery life, improvements in
communication and lower connectivity costs, wearables are on the
brink of mainstream adoption.

10 Ways Artificial Intelligence Will Change the Customer Experience - Salesforce Blog

The huge amount of data we generate is a mixed blessing. It gives us better insight into human behavior, but it’s also a lot more stuff to sort through. For helping us wade through our data, and make better use of it, we’ll turn to AI (artificial intelligence) for things as complicated as navigating the sales journey to just figuring out what the doggone temperature is outside.

VMworld: The year of the developer

Here at VMworld there are a bewildering number of technologies all trying to integrate in order to magically provide your data to entire networks and datacenters where your customers need to consume them, all at record speed. In theory it works, but if you’re a system administrator, you know there is some assembly required to make systems talk to each other, meaning you have to build more and more of the connecting tissue – you need to be a developer of sorts.

Solutions - Monolithic 18V Prioritizer Provides Low Standby Current Backup Battery Switchover Solution

MILPITAS, CA – September 1, 2016 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4420, a dual input monolithic power prioritizer for 1.8V to 18V systems. To enable portability, preserve memory during brownouts, and ensure a graceful shutdown on power loss, electronic systems employ batteries and capacitors for backup power. The LTC4420 normally powers the load from the higher priority main supply such as a wall adapter or battery, switching to the backup supply—typically a battery or large-value capacitor—during primary brownout or power loss conditions. With up to 18V operating capability, the LTC4420 accommodates a wide range of power sources such as wall adapters, USB ports, supercapacitors, and stacked batteries with Li-Ion, alkaline or NiMH cells. By reducing device operating current to 3.6µA and the backup supply’s standby current drain to a low 0.32μA, the LTC4420 extends run time in portable battery-operated systems.

VMworld: Can you trust your API?

The VMware ecosystem has become huge and now encompasses a daunting number of platforms that you don’t even think about, including many in the IoT world. But now, all of these devices have to talk to each other in order to get along, and they do that with Application Program Interfaces (API). Are APIs all secure? If not, rogue processes can slurp off huge volumes of information and port it all off silently. Clearly, APIs are a point of heavy security focus, or should be. But all too commonly API security is something of an afterthought.
