When was the last time you left the garage open on your way out of the house? How about the last time you left your front door unlocked before turning in for the night and going to bed? I would bet you are having a hard time recalling an example. When it comes to keeping ourselves and our belongings safe,…
Thanks to its efficiency and support for numerous programming languages, gRPC is a popular choice for microservice integrations and client-server communications. gRPC is a high performance remote procedure call (RPC) framework using HTTP/2 for transport and Protocol Buffers to describe the interface. To make it easier to use gRPC with your applications, Application Load Balancer (ALB)…
When I first told you about the AWS Nitro System, I said: The Nitro system is a rich collection of building blocks that can be assembled in many different ways, giving us the flexibility to design and rapidly deliver EC2 instance types with an ever-broadening selection of compute, storage, memory, and networking options. To date,…
In Formula 1 Racing, there is a general rule of thumb that the car which finishes first at the start of the season, would certainly finish last by the end of the season. This theory is made a reality by the engineers who are continually pushing the limits by leveraging data to improve their team’s car design and race day strategies. In this episode of Technology Powers X,…
According to the World Health Organization, 22% of the world’s population will be 60 years or older by 2050, up from 13% in 2017 with an associated increase in the incidence of chronic diseases. Healthcare expenditure is projected to increase at an annual rate of 5.4% between 2017 and 2022 up from 2.9%. The reality…
How HPC enables natural language processing—and what you can do with it Natural language processing (NLP) is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables a computer to understand, interpret, and use spoken or written human language. For example, NLP can be used to translate communications from one language to another, convert voice to text…
Last month, Dell Technologies was the recipient of the FutureNet award for Most Innovative Application of AI to enhance Customer Experience, in recognition of a solution deployed by Dell Technologies and ISV partner Cardinality at O2 (Telefonica U.K.). Network Customer Experience Solution The solution, which O2 calls Network Customer Experience (NCX), uses machine learning to…
When designing a distributed software architecture, it is important to define how services exchange information. For example, the use of asynchronous communication decouples components and simplifies scaling, reducing the impact of changes and making it easier to release new features. The two most common forms of asynchronous service-to-service communication are message queues and publish/subscribe messaging: With…
2020 accelerated longstanding trends and adoption of the technologies that will shape the next decade. What was once a vision for 2030, will now become a reality in 2025. We’ll see wide-scale connectivity with 5G, data-driven insights, automation and embedded intelligence. As a result, the edge is becoming a center of gravity for digital transformation…
It took me a while to figure out what observability was all about. A year or two I asked around and my colleagues told me that I needed to follow Charity Majors and to read her blog (done, and done). Just this week, Charity tweeted: Kislay’s tweet led to his blog post, Observing is not…
