The report provides yet another ...

The more the technology world grows in complexity, the more the key players in it are motivated to find simpler solutions. This can be seen in generative AI, which is all about simplifying the ability to extract answers and perform tasks using a mountain of data. Today’s cybersecurity landscape is being reshaped by interest on ...

When it comes to data collection, financial institutions have a rich trove of readily accessible real-time client information. When a consumer moves homes, buys a car, pays college tuition or simply swipes a credit card, the transactions are recorded in a database.

The high-powered trio of Amazon Web Services Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Google LLC have exerted significant influence over the cloud landscape. Will the rise of generative artificial intelligence help or hurt the hyperscalers as they seek to leverage this technology for a competitive edge? This question and others will be a key focus during SiliconANGLE’s ...

On Thursday, Google LLC announced that GKE Enterprise, its managed Kubernetes service, would be generally available next week. The service was first previewed by Google about two months ago as a solution to reduce the amount of effort required to run containerized environments. “We’re introducing here at KubeCon the new evolution of Kubernetes, which we ...

It took a village to get persistent storage into Kubernetes. As the container orchestration tool grew in popularity, users wanted persistence or an ability to retain data after a device had been shut down. In the 2015 timeframe, Red Hat Inc. engineers convened a group of leading storage providers to find a way to add ...

Could the laptop soon replace the cloud as the preferred development environment for enterprise coders? That possibility was set forth by software engineer and developer advocate Kelsey Hightower in a late October post that has received nearly 700,000 views to date and sparked a spirited online debate. Hightower’s comment noted that faster, more powerful processors ...

A need to share research data at a publicly funded medical school is being met by a creative Kubernetes-based approach. At the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, a research-intensive medical school in New York City, funding from the National Institutes of Health required the school to share its data. So, it turned to IBM Corp. ...

Despite the 4,000 miles between Barcelona, Spain and Chicago, Illinois, announcements made in one location had an impact in the other location on Tuesday. While KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA was taking place in Chicago this week, Barcelona hosted attendees participating in the annual fall VMware Explore gathering at the same time. VMware Inc. announced enhancements ...

In advance of last year’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA, analysts for SiliconANGLE described the event as the “new school” where software innovation was showcased. As this year’s gathering prepares to kick off in the second week of November, school will be back in session, the students will be a year older and the list of ...
