We suspect that it’s taken a lot of older-school smartphone users a long while to get used to the idea of using a stylus, or “pen,” when deploying their devices.

With the rise in the number of IT-sanctioned business-productivity tools, applications and businesses migrating to the cloud, enterprises are embracing methods for work to get done to be faster, more efficient and more collaborative.

Maintaining growth is a perennial challenge for any business, but for early-stage firms it’s a matter of survival.

No person and no company is completely immune from attacks via the internet. Social networks, too, have been weaponized by all sorts of bad actors—including election meddlers, misinformation peddlers, fraudulent accounts, cyber-criminals and scammers. The networks are doing their best to clean up the platforms, but it’s an uphill battle, to say the very least; […]

Here is the latest article in the eWEEK feature series called IT Science, in which we look at what actually happens at the intersection of new-gen IT and legacy systems. Unless it’s brand new and right off various assembly lines, servers, storage and networking inside every IT system can be considered “legacy.” This is because the […]

It’s pretty easy to take new-gen video for granted. We haven’t always had IMAX theaters, 3D movies and augmented reality applications; this has only happened in recent years behind powerful servers, virtually unlimited storage, super-fast networks, lean code and ingenious new applications. Entertainment experiences that audiences enjoy today represent massive technology advances in HD, 3D, […]

Such is the incredible influence of the open-source community; in fact, there is a case to be made for stating that the world today would not be the same if not for the sharp rise […]

With the escalating number of internet of things-enabled devices, businesses across a variety of industry verticals are feeling the pressure to figure out their own IoT strategies. Organizations that may not have historically prioritized their networking strategy are now challenged to implement a robust infrastructure that can handle data from countless wired and wireless endpoints—and […]
