IBM To Help Automate Cloud Data Protection With Acquisition Of Polar Security

IBM is announcing it has acquired Polar Security, an innovator in technology that helps companies discover, continuously monitor and secure cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) application data – and addresses the growing shadow data problem. Today’s news marks IBM’s 5th acquisition in 2023. Since Arvind Krishna became CEO in April 2020, IBM has acquired more than 30 companies, bolstering its hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The pandemic drove a sharp increase in cloud adoption, leaving organizations to grapple with a deluge of cloud data that led to more silos and “shadow data”– sensitive data not being tracked or managed.…

Using Cloud Spanner To Handle High Throughput Writes

Several social apps maintain feeds and allow users to upvote and share content through their social platforms. These votes and shares are tracked as “counters” in the backend database. This guide provides an array of choices to implement upvote and share counters using a Cloud Spanner database. This could be easily extended to track scores in a live game, managing inventory in retail, and several other applications across different industry verticals. Cloud Spanner as a relational database provides SQL semantics to empower all these solutions. It is built for scale and provides built-in sharding capability for large-scale business applications that would normally…

How To Get Started With Event-Driven Microservices

Event-driven microservices are an excellent way to deliver both historical and new data to all of the systems and teams that need it, but they come with additional overhead and management requirements. Start small. Many organizations reach a stage in their growth where the monolithic applications that once served them well start to hold them back. Perhaps the business needs new functionality that the existing architecture can’t support, or more flexible ways to store and access data for their apps. Team growth, conflicting performance requirements, and new competitive technologies can also pose a challenge to a singular, monolithic codebase. Adopting…

Announcing Project Health Insights Preview: Advancing AI For Health Data

We live in an era with unprecedented increases in the size of health data. Digitization of medical records, medical imaging, genomic data, clinical notes, and more all contributed to an exponential increase in the amount of medical data. The potential benefit of leveraging this health data is enormous. However, with this growth in health data, new challenges arise, including the focus on data privacy and security, the need for data standardization and interoperability. There is a need for effective tools for extracting information that is buried in this data and using it to derive valuable insights, inferences, and deep analytics that can…

Intel Dives Into The Future Of Cooling

An Intel Corporation lab in Hillsboro, Oregon, holds 24 powered-on Intel Xeon-based servers in a tank filled with synthetic non-electrically conductive oil. Immersion cooling is a method of managing heat from processors more effectively than by traditional air cooling. Intel is working with industry partners to develop solutions for today’s data centers and those in the future. (Credit: Intel Corporation) Extending Moore’s Law means putting more transistors on an integrated circuit and, increasingly, adding more cores. Doing so improves performance but requires more energy. Over the past decade, Intel estimates it has saved 1,000 terawatt hours of electricity through the improvements…
