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

circa un anno fa 35:05

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 16:27

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.…

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.…

The word “Partner” has become quite cliché these days. I’m not even sure people really know what it means anymore. It tends to be used haphazardly like the term “Trusted Advisor”, so we try to clearly define it by adding modifiers. In our industry we have channel partners, installation partners, design partners, supply chain partners. I don’t mean to sound overdramatic, but what does a partnership look like these days?…

Flying Blind - How to Gain Valuable Visibility in your Network, with Shawn Clark 13:31

The legend of the crystal ball is famous for giving people visibility into the future. What an amazing gift that would be. Clear visibility in general is a gift itself if recognized and utilized properly. Take the dashboard in a car, or the cockpit of an airplane, giving you clear visibility of what’s going on with the vehicle transporting you and your passengers. You would be limited without it, and potentially in harm’s way without even knowing. What about your network? Are you in harm’s way? Is your network running properly? Is it reaching maximum capacity? How would you know? What if there’s a sort of crystal ball for your network? Would you be interested?…

Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, once said, “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay”. Famous entrepreneur, Richard Branson once said “Train people well enough so they can leave, but treat them well enough so they don’t want to.” Training is so critically important. Easily one of the most important tools you can give to your employees.…

“A legacy of innovation”. It’s a catchy phrase, to be sure, but how can one determine if something is just marketing hyperbole, or an accurate way to describe one’s contributions to something? The best way is to talk with those responsible for such a legacy. In the ICT industry there are thousands of people responsible for contributing to impactful innovations over the decades, but there’s a very short list of innovators responsible for making such a significant contribution that it can be argued they changed the entire industry for the better. Today, we’re talking to someone who happens to be on that short list, and there isn’t anyone in the ICT industry today that hasn’t been impacted by today’s guest.…

If there’s one thing we learned from the way the world responded to covid, it’s the fact that hospitals need to get smarter. I mean, it makes sense. Today we have smart phones, smart homes, smart cars, smart buildings… everything seems to be getting smarter. It’s only logical that we consider how to make our modern hospitals “smart”. The results can literally be life changing.…
