Each week I select 80-110 items from mainstream IT publications and publish them on the website for “IT News and Events.†I also select?press releases and blog posts?from various mainstream IT vendors. Vendors can engage with sales@itnewsandevents.com to have their own section in this and other ITNE newsletters which reach over 45,000 subscribers including the ~5,200 subscribers to the LinkedIN edition.
RPA is a fast-growing category of software, driven by global enterprise digital transformation efforts. Is it ready for prime time? This guide covers the benefits, best practices and use cases today.
Judging by the interest in the concept, it looks like IT people, and even many businesspeople, have figured out the first lesson in dealing with robotic process automation: There are no robots, no androids, not even one little R2D2.
RPA is about letting computers, software and, often, voice technology take over the routine, repetitive and boring business tasks that humans don't really want to do.
The term Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) combines big data and machine learning to automate IT operations processes, including event correlation, anomaly detection, and causality determination
AIOps is the proactive answer to many lingering issues in application development environments. It approaches IT infrastructure and systems through real-time monitoring and addresses issues before they spread across the system.
Organizations can use AI for storage management and AIOps to learn where to make improvements in their storage infrastructure. However, take note of the benefits and drawbacks.
The rise of AI has advanced storage management from storage resource management software to AI for IT operations tools that automate much of the process.
Artificial intelligence has become a buzzword in the tech industry. Companies are eager to present themselves as 'AI-first' and use the terms 'AI,' 'machine learning,' and 'deep learning' abundantly in their web and marketing copy.
New AI chip hold promise for machine learning recommendation
A new 1,000-core RISC-V processor from Esperanto Technologies is currently being evaluated by Samsung SDS and other 'lead customers'.
According to a press release from the computer software company, its new ET-SoC-1 AI Inference Accelerator is undergoing initial evaluations by a number of firms ahead of its release.
Take agile to your organization, don't be afraid of enduring a few mistakes for the benefit of making your teams better.
Agile used to have a stigma as being "only suitable for small teams and small project management." It is now a famous discipline used by software development teams worldwide with great success. But does agile really deliver value? Well, it depends on how you use it.
Invest time in training, incorporate agile into individual interactions, and write modular code designed for flexibility.
Agile is a tried and true discipline used by software development teams worldwide with great success. In my previous article, I listed mistakes I've made in the past so you don't have to make them yourself.

The most common argument for outsourcing is cost savings. And in the face of a challenging economic climate, cost figures largely in the decision to outsource IT projects and business processes.
While cost-effectiveness is a huge deciding factor for offshoring, cheaper labour and service rates should not be the only measures of the possible financial success of a project. In fact, long-term benefits are extracted from the industry expertise of vendors that could make up for the investments in communication, time zone overlaps, and travel.
This is part of Solutions Review's Premium Content Series, a collection of contributed columns written by industry experts in maturing software categories.
In this submission, Quest Software's Technology Strategist and Principle Engineer Adrian Moir compares proactive data backup vs. reactive disaster recovery and why wins out every time.
Java has been around for as long as I have in this industry, which is. quite a long time.
And it's still in pretty rude health all things considered. Oracle's stewardship of Java has been good for the language. The release train is steady and metronomic now, six months to new features, six months to a new LTS release. Modern language features such as generics and lambdas have kept modern developers happy, and organisations, enterprises and Web companies alike, continue to rely on Java for a huge range of workloads.
High dynamic range (HDR) monitors are becoming mainstream, but their performance can vary widely. So how do you know what HDR performance level you are getting with a particular monitor? The VESA DisplayHDR certification hopes to solve this issue.
We're in the middle of what we at ScyllaDB dubbed The Next Tech Cycle. Not 'The World of Tomorrow' nor 'The Shape of Things to Come' nor 'The Wave of the Future'-because it's already here today.
QCwire, which will cover the Quantum Computing explosion.
As quantum computing could very well be the next frontier of HPC, and with HPCwire publishing over 100 articles and news items on quantum in the first quarter of 2022, it is time for dedicated coverage of this emerging technology. While no one knows precisely when the age of quantum computing will arrive, it's clear that moment is approaching fast.
63 percent of all the people on Earth are now online
DataReportal's new Digital 2022 April Global Statshot report - published in partnership with We Are Social and Hootsuite - reveals that more than 5 billion people around the world now use the internet.
Computer security only happens when software is kept up to date. That should be a basic tenet for business users and IT departments.
Apparently, it isn't. At least for some Linux users who ignore installing patches, critical or otherwise.
A recent survey sponsored by TuxCare, a vendor-neutral enterprise support system for commercial Linux, shows companies fail to protect themselves against cyberattacks even when patches exist.
Results reveal that some 55 percent of respondents had a cybersecurity incident because an available patch was not applied. In fact, once a critical or high priority vulnerability was found, 56 percent took five weeks to one year on average to patch the vulnerability.?[LinuxIInsider, April 25th, 2022]
SSH is one of the most widely used protocols for system administration on Linux platforms.
It is available for many operating systems based on Unix, Linux and MacOS. It is based on the client-server model, where one machine runs the server component and the other uses a client tool to access it.
Python may be the top programming language in the world right now, but its popularity won't last. Here's why.
Times have never been better for Python. The language currently ranks as the most popular programming language in the world, according to the TIOBE Index - a position that reflects years of steady growth over the past two decades.
Software testing is a fundamental pillar of modern technology development initiatives. Did you know that there are over 15 types of testing categories available today for enterprises to take note of?
In simple terms, software testing can be defined as any activity that validates the functioning of an application or its component and confirms that it meets its desired purpose of creation.
How Does Your Organization Stack Up When It Comes to Updating Open Source Data?
The 7th annual Synopsys OSSRA report highlights trends in open source usage and provides insights to help companies better understand the interconnected software ecosystem that they are part of. Open Source Security & Risk Analysis (OSSRA) also details the pervasive risks posed by unmanaged open source, including security vulnerabilities, outdated or abandoned components, and license compliance issues.
