Traditional telco services hamstring WAN agility. Is cloud-based SD-WAN the solution?

by

In a recent survey, industry insiders predicted over 80 percent of workloads will run in a public, private, or hybrid cloud by 2020.

This shift towards cloud computing is one of the key drivers of SD-WAN overtaking traditional telco services like MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) as the go-to WAN connectivity solution for enterprises.

However, enterprises also care about reliability and managed services, areas where SD-WAN solutions that only offer overlay functionality come up short. [Read more…] about Traditional telco services hamstring WAN agility. Is cloud-based SD-WAN the solution?

Solar Powered Phone Chargers

Our present reality has advanced from the underlying vitality segments that originated from sources, for example, coal, oil, and other non-renewable energy sources.

These assets were seen as hurtful to the earth and not as effective as they could be. Non-renewable energy sources transmit harming carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide emanations into the environment.

These energizes, when consumed and discharged into the air, are known to be one of the essential drivers of a dangerous atmospheric deviation. [Read more…] about Solar Powered Phone Chargers

The Future of Auto Transportation

by

We live in a world of automation. Our worlds are in the palm of our hands, thanks to mobile technology. We have more access to everything, faster, and drones are already delivering parcels. Self-driving cars are fast approaching the next stage after experimentation.

But what does this mean for the future of the auto transportation industry?

Freight demand continues to grow, placing significant strain on freeways. In fact, the Department of Transport estimates that “… by 2040, nearly 30,000 miles of our busiest highways will be clogged on a daily basis. Truck congestion will waste $27 billion in time and fuel economy annually”. [Read more…] about The Future of Auto Transportation

ERP Automation Benefits and Trends

by

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a software system that utilizes a centralized database that contains all the necessary data in one location.

The data is generated from the transactions produced by every business process enabled by the ERP system. This database is shared across multiple departments to support multiple functions.

The shared information allows for easy metric reporting and faster implementations of tasks, such as orders, marketing and bookkeeping. In essence, an ERP system automates processes across departments. [Read more…] about ERP Automation Benefits and Trends

PC running slow? Speed up your computer by cleaning it with CCleaner

By William Downhill, MoltenSoft

Every computer gets there at some point. Everything is running slower, the fans are turning at ten thousand rpm, and every so often the screen just freezes arbitrarily, even if there isn’t anything running.

Regular users immediately think “I must have a virus!”

But that’s not always right. Often times, the only thing making your computer run like a turtle through a vat of cold honey is just that your computer needs to be cleaned up. [Read more…] about PC running slow? Speed up your computer by cleaning it with CCleaner

When Automation Works Alongside Humans

by

When we talk about automation, we often imagine a future in which everything we do will be almost entirely handled by machines. Cars will drive themselves. Management decisions will be handed over to an AI. Even the creative arts might one day be taken over by robots.

But for the time being, automation isn’t quite there. And so, some compromise between machine and human worker is needed. A synergy between the two has already yielded great results – just think about an autopilot guiding a plane for the majority of a flight, and human pilot intervening only for take-off and landing.

A more commonplace example of machine-assistance comes in the form of a spell-checker on a word-processing program. And these are getting more sophisticated. Apps like Grammarly and ProWritingAid not only identify grammatical or spelling errors; they now also identify more stylistic problems, and help us to make writing clearer and more concise, even when it isn’t technically wrong.
