Cloud

What if you could go for a ride-along with a Cisco Cloud Services rep for a week? Wouldn’t that be the best?! Really—think about it.

This is the finale of our entirely unintentional three-part series on cloud computing at the edge. In Episode 59 we learned about StarlingX—OpenStack’s new cloud-at-the-edge project. In Episode 60 we heard all about the mission and methods of the OpenStack Edge Computing Group. Now we wrap it up by…

AI/ML is a dominant trend in the enterprise. While AI/ML is not fundamentally new, the ubiquity of large amounts of observed data, the rise of distributed computing frameworks and the prevalence of large hardware-accelerated computing infrastructure has lead to new wave of breakthroughs in AI in the…
