Concerned About Cloud Security? This ‘Just Right’ Solution Might be the Answer for You
As the cloud has become a ubiquitous part of business life over the last few years, there are still lingering concerns and misconceptions around cloud security. Thanks to ever-diligent media coverage surrounding the technology sector, everyone seems to understand that cloud technology is ever increasing in importance. However, while we know it will shape the […]
The Business Insights Hidden in Your Cloud Apps
Organizations that proactively monitor cloud applications gain critical insights into security, usage, performance, and compliance. The cloud business is booming. Organizations want to take advantage of the cost savings, increased efficiencies, and greater productivity. In the process, they take on a hoard of additional data due to increased user activity. This introduces a whole slew of […]
The rise of servitisation for manufacturers
Engineering giant Rolls Royce pioneered servitisation in 1962 with its Power-by-the-Hour approach to jet engine maintenance management. The service, which allows operators to purchase the power used rather than a complete engine, celebrated its 55th year in 2017 and has proven extremely popular in the aerospace market. Here, Nick Boughton, digital lead at systems integrator Boulting Technology, discusses what servitisation can […]
Moving to IaaS: Big Changes Required
Develop a well-thought-out approach to the migration and make sure your management and operations teams understand the potential opportunities and challenges. There are some huge opportunities for improvements in moving enterprise services to the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud, but there are some equally daunting challenges — both technical and operational. Demand for public cloud infrastructure, or […]
AI-based IoT solutions extend predictive maintenance across entire production line
Historically, the use of condition monitoring solutions for predictive maintenance has been restricted to high-value, mission-critical equipment, leaving an average of 85% of a production facility’s equipment vulnerable to costly unexpected downtime and repairs. The problem with today’s solutions, says Brad M. Hopkins, director of Condition Monitoring Product Management with HID Global, is that they either are not aligned […]
Principal Component Analysis Webinar Video: Dimensionality Reduction Made Easy!
BigML has brought Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to the platform. PCA is a key unsupervised Machine Learning technique used to transform a given dataset in order to yield uncorrelated features and reduce dimensionality. PCA fundamentally transforms a dataset defined by possibly correlated variables into a set of uncorrelated variables, called principal components. When used for […]
Who’s in charge of the connected car? Ask the driver in the loop
Don’t you hate it when someone criticises your driving? Why are we going this way? Slow down! Speed up! Don’t let that car push in! Interfering busybodies don’t just hike up your hypertension, says Nick Booth. They’re dangerous, because they distract you while you’re in charge of a ton of speeding metal. These patronising interventions are even worse […]
Recapping BigML’s 2018 in Numbers
Another year has gone by in a hurry in the Machine Learning world of BigML. 2018 saw the interest in Machine Learning from all industries continually get stronger. Not only are we seeing an increase in the level of awareness and sophistication towards productive business applications running existing processes more efficiently, but we’re also witnessing novel […]
Self-driving pariah Anthony Levandowski claims California to New York breakthrough
Controversial ex-Google and Uber engineer Anthony Levandowski has reportedly completed a four-day, 3,099 mile journey from California to New York in an autonomous vehicle, without having to disengage the self-driving system. Levandowski informed the Guardian that, although he was sitting in the driver’s seat the entire time, he did not touch the steering wheels or […]
