To Build A.I. in the Cloud, We Need a Different Type of Plane to Get There

A.I. is everywhere… you can’t be in the ICT industry without A.I. impacting you in some way these days… even if it’s just the need to stay well informed on progress, adoption, and trends.There’s currently a tremendous focus on building data centers for this new life form, but to build A.I. in the cloud, we need a different type of plane to get there.Our guest is Alastair Waite, Senior Market Development Manager for data centers at CommScope.

Safety, Privacy, and the Five D's of Physical Security - with Kelly DeLeo of Axis Communications

In 1984, Rockwell released the song “Somebody’s Watching Me”… a song about a guy who feels like he’s always being watched.  But this was 1984…Fast forward to 2024, and there are cameras everywhere, making up a major element to a larger security apparatus we’ve all come to expect everywhere we go.  We even have them in doorbells today.The interesting thing is, what might have seemed a bit intrusive in 1984 has become almost comforting and reassuring 40 years later.  Cameras today don’t represent an always-watching surveillance state once feared.  They’re actually effective tools, and they do so much more than just simply watch.

Powering the Future - A Conversation with Stephen Eaves, the inventor of Fault Managed Power

What does VHS and Blu-Ray have in common?  How about the Compact Disc and LC Fiber Connectors?  What about asphalt roads and AC Power?  What do they all have in common?   They all had a competitor they beat out to become the quasi standard of their technology.  Remember Betamax?  HD-DVD?  Digital Tape?  What about DC Power?But what if we got one of them wrong?  What if the technology that was defeated was actually better suited for our modern needs?  Could we make the shift?There’s a modern day inventor working hard to show the world a better way to deliver the benefits of electricity.
