IBM has rolled out the latest iteration of its mainframe, replete with AI technology designed to take data-intensive application support well into the future. That] is the interesting story, and [how] thats going to unlock applications at some of the biggest banks, telcos, retailers, government departments, Dickens said.
“This collaboration is a game-changer for the enterprise market as it delivers a variety of valuable use cases, such as on-demand SD-WAN, fast scaling for 5G carriers, and edge computing for IoT applications,” said Masum Mir, senior vice president and general manager with Cisco Provider Mobility, in a statement.
In the automotive sector, for example, BMW, Volkwagen, and Toyota are taking the lead. For example, asymmetric encryption such as the public key exchange methods used to safeguard online communications are most vulnerable to quantum decryption. Another potential blind spot is SaaS applications, she says.
The report offers examples of each. Zscaler eliminates this risk and the attack surface by keeping applications and services invisible to the internet. This approach stops encrypted threats from reaching critical applications and systems, providing proactive protection that doesnt rely on shared network access.
For example, smart city infrastructure can benefit from 6G-enabled convergence for traffic management and public safety, while healthcare applications will rely on 6G for mission-critical communication and remote diagnostics. Or perhaps, the other way around.
For example, this summer, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released a set of quantum-proof encryption algorithms , so that the world has time to get ready for when quantum computers do arrive. Two functions remove the need to understand quantum circuits, focusing on optimization and chemistry applications.
For example, my change management motto is, “Humans prefer the familiar to the comfortable and the comfortable to the better.” For example, a legacy, expensive, and difficult-to-support system runs on proprietary hardware that runs a proprietary operating system, database, and application.
If there’s any doubt that mainframes will have a place in the AI future, many organizations running the hardware are already planning for it. How do you make the right choice for whatever application that you have?” AI can, for example, write snippets of new code or translate old COBOL to modern programming languages such as Java. “AI
In bps case, the multiple generations of IT hardware and software have been made even more complex by the scope and variety of the companys operations, from oil exploration to electric vehicle (EV) charging machines to the ordinary office activities of a corporation. But cost is always a big part of the equation that we need to consider.
After all, a low-risk annoyance in a key application can become a sizable boulder when the app requires modernization to support a digital transformation initiative. Accenture reports that the top three sources of technical debt are enterprise applications, AI, and enterprise architecture.
Companies can keep their data local, for example, or reduce lag by putting their computing capacity close to where it is needed. These applications require AI-optimized servers, storage, and networking and all the components need to be configured so that they work well together. On-premises AI does offer some benefits.
The world has woken up to the power of generative AI and a whole ecosystem of applications and tools are quickly coming to life. All this has a tremendous impact on the digital value chain and the semiconductor hardware market that cannot be overlooked. Hardware innovations become imperative to sustain this revolution.
Give up on using traditional IT for AI The ultimate goal is to have AI-ready data, which means quality and consistent data with the right structures optimized to be effectively used in AI models and to produce the desired outcomes for a given application, says Beatriz Sanz Siz, global AI sector leader at EY.
For example, according to a fact sheet released Wednesday, the White House has temporarily exempted semiconductors from tariffs, but not the aluminum used to build the servers and racks that house them. Because of the long term planning and all of the potential policy changes, I wouldnt change my data center plans that much, Nguyen said.
Replace on-prem VMs with public cloud infrastructure Theres an argument to be made for a strategy that reduces reliance on virtualized on-prem servers altogether by migrating applications to the public cloud. Those resources are probably better spent re-architecting applications to remove the need for virtual machines (VMs).
As AI gets built into every application and service, organizations will find themselves managing hundreds or thousands of discrete agents. This is a pretty straightforward example, but thats what were getting into. For example, Microsoft has talked about how AI agents will impact application development.
They can also increase customisation, using AI to adapt to individual user needs and tailor workflows, applications, and experiences. From ITs perspective, for example, one key use case is around fleet management. For one, they provide lower latency and faster response times as they can process large datasets locally.
For example, support agents are now being prompted by AI, so when an issue comes in, we’re able to assist with visible incidents and potential fixes.” 1] HP Managed Collaboration Services includes hardware, repair services, and analytics components and may include financing. It’s a very modern architecture,” Koziel explains.
Amid this AI arms race, OpenAIs latest trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) shows that the organization has other goals beyond LLMs. The application lists various hardware such as AI-powered smart devices, augmented and virtual reality headsets, and even humanoid robots.
Hypershield uses AI to dynamically refine security policies based on application identity and behavior. While AI applications have brought the bandwidth and latency concerns back to the top of the networking requirements, additional capabilities are also top-of-mind. For example, the stateful segmentation mentioned in the launch.
Uptime Education, for example, has a recertification program every three years. With AI, for example, companies know they have to invest in it, they want to invest in it, but they might not yet know, exactly, what direction theyre going to take. For organizations, certifications provide multiple benefits beyond skills verification.
For example: Direct costs (principal): “We’re spending 30% more on maintaining outdated systems than our competitors.” Our research shows 52% of organizations are increasing AI investments through 2025 even though, along with enterprise applications, AI is the primary contributor to tech debt.
The Cato LAN NGFW offers application-aware segmentation from the Cato Edge Socket, providing distributed networks with the same level of protection for LAN traffic as for WAN and internet-bound traffic, the company stated. Operating at Layer 7, it allows for detailed control over LAN applications such as RDP and SSH, among others.
That echoes a statement issued by NVIDIA on Monday: DeepSeek is a perfect example of test time scaling. These software and algorithmic-driven innovations also allow model vendors to do more with more powerful hardware, they wrote.
The board, formed in April, is made up of major software and hardware companies, critical infrastructure operators, public officials, the civil rights community, and academia, according to the release. Hopefully, we will see this framework continue to evolve.”
He points to the ever-expanding cyber threat landscape, the growth of AI, and the increasing complexity of today’s global, highly distributed corporate networks as examples. These ensure that organizations match the right workloads and applications with the right cloud. It also offers exceptional transparency.
No two companies are alike, neither are their approaches to IT transformation with multi-cloud and application modernization at the center. Multi-cloud goes beyond cloud infrastructure to include applications and cross-cloud services, but that can quickly produce additional complexity and siloed applications.
A new AI-based assistant will aid in RPG application modernization and development. MMA is a feature of Power10-based servers that handles matrix multiplication operations in hardware, rather than relying solely on software routines. The Power server line will be anchored by a new processor, the IBM Power11.
All of the new servers include support for the latest version of HPEs Integrated Lights Out (iLO) management technology, which lets customers diagnose and resolve server issues, configure and manage access, and perform a variety of other automated tasks aimed at improving efficiency, HPE stated.
The government’s central research and development arm, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is setting up an industry initiative to benchmark quantum computing applications and algorithms in an effort to dispel some of the hype around the technology.
The awareness gained in the process often leads to a grounding, also in management: Those who like to talk very loudly about AI, for example, quickly become very quiet again after taking a look at their existing IT infrastructure. This could be, for example, problems with stability in IT operations or the potential for cost savings.
For example, he says, 10-year-old source code might no longer compile properly on a modern computer. There are millions of lines of code in these systems, which are written in COBOL, MUMPS, or even Assembly language tied to original hardware. Weve developed our own agentic AI for code management, says Charles Clancy, CTO at Mitre.
Quantum computing breakthroughs For most of quantum computing’s history, virtually all the research has focused on developing the underlying hardware, says Jay Gambetta, vice president in charge of IBM’s quantum initiative. It’s a stepping stone towards libraries and a future application store,” says Gambetta.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a network architecture that combines software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN ) and security functionality into a unified cloud service that promises simplified WAN deployments, improved efficiency and security, and application-specific bandwidth policies. What are the benefits of SASE?
Because Windows 11 Pro has new hardware requirements, your upgrade strategy must both address hardware and software aspects, not to mention security, deployment plans, training, and more. Assess hardware compatibility Hardware refresh requires careful planning and sufficient lead time.
For CIOs deploying a simple AI chatbot or an AI that provides summaries of Zoom meetings, for example, Blackwell and NIM may not be groundbreaking developments, because lower powered GPUs, as well as CPUs, are already available to run small AI workloads. Thus, the need for Blackwell should be strong.” The answer is, not yet.”
Users can ask questions about a specific interface an organization is using, for example. For example, Kamel said that Selector is working with a large data center provider that receives information on maintenance windows from network peers around the world. Kamel said.
Tech debt can take many forms — old applications, bloated code, and aging hardware among them — and while the issue often takes a back seat to innovation and new technology, it is on the minds of a lot of CIOs. A lot of it gets into even modernization as you’re building new applications and new software,” he says.
Allocating some AI workloads to PCs offers CIOs other benefits, he says, noting that Microsoft will continue to make its Copilot+ applications available in the cloud. IDC also sees an onslaught of AI PCs over the long term , as NPUs are integrated into lower-tier hardware. But these are early days, IDCs Mainelli says.
Cisco, HPE, Dell and others are looking to use Nvidia’s new AI microservice application-development blueprints to help enterprises streamline the deployment of generative AI applications. More applications are expected in the future. Developers can gain a head start on creating their own applications using NIM Agent Blueprints.
Computex 2024 is taking place in Taiwan this week, which means lots of hardware news as the OEM and parts suppliers of the world gather to show off their latest wares. Nvidia unveiled new Blackwell systems and announced general availability of its Spectrum-X Ethernet stack for AI workloads, for example.
Meanwhile, Meta plans to make investments in humanoid robots through its Reality Labs hardware division to first target the consumer market, according to a report from Bloomberg. robot, which has garnered significant attention and secured funding and a partnership with BMW for manufacturing applications.
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has announced a breakthrough in artificial intelligence hardware by developing a brain-inspired neuromorphic computing platform. The IISc team’s neuromorphic platform is designed to address some of the biggest challenges facing AI hardware today: energy consumption and computational inefficiency.
