Every project or organization has a significant amount of data that needs to be stored and managed efficiently. Software-defined storage (SDS) has emerged alongside traditional storage options such as NAS and storage area networks.
SDS is a specific type of storage software that uses virtualization. It separates resources from hardware, providing greater flexibility and scalability in storage management and deployment. In addition, SDS software allows you to manage your storage infrastructure from a single interface, automating and streamlining the management of your entire data system.
At the same time, traditional NAS and SAN options are hardware-centric. As a result, it is much easier to make changes to SDS than hardware-dependent systems. However, virtualization has drawbacks, so some organizations are reluctant to adopt SDS technology.
Learn about the pros and cons of SDS storage, architectures, data security, and protection. You can also find out about major vendors of SDS storage technology, SDS use cases, and more.
Here’s the chain of news and posts regarding Neuralink Brain Chip experiments. Emma W. Thorne , Editor at LinkedIn News, provides valuable context and diverse perspectives.
The surgery to implant Neuralink's brain chip into a second human patient was successful, the company announced.?
The patient is a former auto technician named Alex with a spinal cord injury. Alex is able to play video games and design 3D objects with the chip, and so far shows no signs of the suture retraction complication experienced by Neuralink's first implant patient, Noland Arbaugh.?
Neuralink says that's the result of the number of mitigation measures they've taken to prevent the problem from happening again. Founder Elon Musk hopes to conduct several more implant tests by the end of the year.

On August 24, 2024, Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram, was arrested at Le Bourget airport near Paris. French authorities allege that Telegram's insufficient moderation and lack of cooperation with law enforcement facilitated criminal activity on the platform.
This arrest may have significant repercussions for tech companies operating worldwide. Tech leaders and startups should closely watch this case, as it could influence global business practices and regulatory compliance.
If you're an entrepreneur considering launching a global tech company, this case should be a stark reminder of the complex legal landscape international businesses navigate. It also underscores the importance of understanding and complying with different jurisdictions' legal requirements.?
It furthermore reignites the ongoing debate over balancing user privacy with public safety concerns. Technology entrepreneurs must be prepared to proactively address these issues.

Ikea will deploy AI-powered drones 24/7 in distribution centers across Europe and North America to further automate inventory and improve staff well-being. The move follows a successful year-long pilot program at a warehouse in Belgium. The drones worked alongside workers to provide them with real-time data. The Swedish retail giant had already been using the drones in some of its stores and fulfillment centers after working hours. The drones can identify and photograph items and provide the data to Ikea employees. The company said this saves them time, minimizes physical strain, and allows them to do "more interesting tasks" instead.

Data is everywhere. Organizations distribute data across multiple locations, including local and remote data centers and the public cloud. Keeping data safe and secure and making it available is an ongoing effort that typically takes up more and more space. More and more, software is coming to the rescue.
Software-defined storage (SDS) is the method of separating the storage software from each physical piece of hardware, allowing organizations to efficiently manage large amounts of data with a high degree of agility, regardless of the size of the network. Adopting SDS enables organizations to effectively scale or reduce costs due to several key benefits.
Learn how software-defined storage can provide IT teams with flexibility, scalability, and cost savings in Stuart Heade 's article.
Data storage is the backbone of IT infrastructure and a critical component of today's IT systems. It affects how data is processed, stored, and retrieved. In modern vehicles, data storage plays a crucial role in supporting a variety of applications, from infotainment systems for maps, media files, and software applications to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that rely on data from sensors to self-driving cars that generate and process massive amounts of data in realtime.
Learn why Leonard Z. thinks that collaboration between IT and the automotive industry is crucial today.
