AI: A Perfect Solution But At What Cost?


The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has been a great enabler for the Internet of things (IoT). Given the ability to think for itself, it’s shrugged off its original definition as a network of tiny sensors and grown to incorporate a host of more intelligent AIoT (AI+IoT) devices, from smartphones all the way up to autonomous vehicles. AI has also paved the way for new IoT device... » read more

Changes In AI SoCs

Ethernet NIC For Fast Data Path


A bit of validation once in a while is good for all of us – that’s pretty true whether you are the one providing it or, conversely, the one receiving it. Most of the time it seems to be me that is giving out validation rather than getting it. Like the other day when my wife tried on a new dress and asked me, “How do I look?” Now, of course, we all know there is only one way to answer a ... » read more

Secure Data Center Traffic


With the increasing data security breaches, encrypting and protecting data-in-flight and data-at-rest in data centers has gained the highest priority for data center security. To address the challenges of securing the perimeter and within the data center from unlawful intercepts, protect data integrity and confidentiality, Cloud Data Centers are increasingly encrypting data within and across da... » read more

Getting Data Centers Ready For Composable Infrastructure


The data center networking landscape is set to change dramatically. More adaptive and operationally efficient composable infrastructure will soon start to see significant uptake, supplanting the traditional inflexible, siloed data center arrangements of the past and ultimately leading to universal adoption. Composable infrastructure takes a modern software-defined approach to data center imp... » read more
