Efficiency, Optimization and Predictive Reliability

October 15, 2014

IT organizations are increasingly being called upon to cost-effectively deliver reliable support for the entire catalog of business services, or risk outsourcing to a managed service provider. Previously, capacity planners and IT architects would use historical trends to predict capacity requirements and simply over-provision to account for any peaks caused by seasonality, error, or extraneous influences like mergers & acquisitions. Over-provisioning, combined with poor lifecycle management of new resources provisioned in the data center, has led to capacity utilization and inefficiency issues. While historical data is great for understanding past issues and current state of the environment, the performance of servers, hosts and clusters is not linear; at some level of saturation, the performance of that infrastructure will quickly start to degrade.

Implementation Challenges to Three Pillars of America’s AI Strategy

whitePaper | December 23, 2022

The transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) is a kind of truism. Seeking to capture the benefits of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” or “third wave of the digital revolution,” countries are prioritizing efforts to reorganize their public and private sectors, fund research and development (R&D), and establish structures and policies that unleash AI innovation.

AI in Planning: Opportunities and Challenges and How to Prepare

whitePaper | September 28, 2022

As stated in the American Planning Association’s 2022 Trend Report for Planners, over centuries, professions have evolved with changing environments, shifting eras, new challenges, societal shifts, and technological innovations. While some professions have become obsolete or or were replaced by technology, others have adapted or readjusted and stayed relevant in an ever-changing world. What is different today is the pace of change, which requires faster, even proactive, adjustments—including new tools, processes, and skills.

Government AI Readiness Index 2022

whitePaper | October 18, 2022

We first published this index five years ago. The world was different then. Governments were dealing with a landscape defined by benign growth, relative global stability, the optimism of an emergent technology. In 2022, it feels like everything has changed. It looks like we are entering a global recession, war has returned to Europe and AI breaks new ground every week. Just the last month has brought advances in art (Stable Diffusion), chat (ChatGPT) and negotiation (CICERO).

TOP 5 REASONS TO PUT PRIVILEGE FIRST

whitePaper | July 20, 2020

Privileged access is the gateway to an organization’s most valuable assets and is at the core of nearly every major security breach. Organizations must have a strategy in place to manage and monitor privileged access, as well as detect and respond to threats if they’d like to mitigate risk from today’s advanced attacks. Your application stack and infrastructure is likely quite complex and it can be hard to identify which assets are the most sensitive. And there is a never-ending supply of vendors knocking down your door competing for your time and attention. These two realities make it increasingly difficult to identify which security project to tackle next. When thinking about how to prioritize, it is advantageous to take a step back and think about your businesses goals, albeit in a slightly different way: try to envision what you would be looking for if you were an external attacker or malicious insider looking to steal sensitive data, commit Ransomware, or use your infrastructure for illicit cryptomining.
