Facing Up the Driverless Car Barriers

Over the next decade connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are expected to generate millions of dollars for the global economy.

At least, that’s what’s currently predicted by many people in the industry. Yet the expectation that they will be on our roads next year in 2021 is considered to be too optimistic with human drivers still seen at the steering wheel of most vehicles. Daphne Leprince-Ringuet writes in her March 2020 article for CNET, For self-driving cars, winter is coming, and its introduction says: “We’ve been promised connected and autonomous cars for several years but the delivery date seems to be ever-further in the future.” She points out that despite big promises “drivers are still very much to be found at the steering wheels of the cars currently roaming the streets around us.”

So, how will the driverless car barriers be removed? Questions such as this one are answered in this article by Graham Jarvis.

Going Beyond SD-WAN and WAN Optimisation For Big Government Data

Early in 2019 Brian Chidester, Senior Industry Lead for Public Sector at OpenText, wrote about the trends that will affect the public sector this year. In his blog for the company, it stated that ‘2019 technology trends driving IT modernisation in the Public Sector’, he says that IT security is of paramount importance to the public sector, alongside the need to improve service delivery and achieving cost savings.

Referring to a Gartner report about understanding cloud adoption in government, he comments: “As governments continue to migrate to the cloud, organisations must ensure their shift to the cloud is both cost-effective and secure. This may mean reconsidering how to think about the cloud, improve security and leverage implementation options.”

To ensure that your shift to the cloud is more performant, read the complete article in the Spring and Summer Edition of Government and Public Sector Journal.

Santa Received the Best Christmas Present: WAN Data Acceleration

Santa marvels at Investec's gains: WAN acceleration of as much as 400 per cent. He is reflecting on his best present of the [2019] festive season: A WAN Data Acceleration solution that enabled him to mitigate latency and reduce packet loss. Data is as much key to his operations as it is to any e-commerce retailer. For this reason, he needs to be able to increase the utilisation of his wide area networks (WANs) to ensure that he can deliver every child’s present on time, while enabling his elves to help him to manage the day-to-day operations and preparations for the next season.

WAN Data Acceleration, which is also referred to as WAN Acceleration, also enables fast back-up and recovery. It can improve big data analysis, too, because it requires the timely processing of voluminous amounts of data from a variety of sources, and it can permit the synchronisation of his databases – some of which are located in the cloud around the world because of the breadth of Santa’s operations.

Construction Companies and Water Damage: Listening to the Insurers

Very few Tier 1 construction companies are installing water leak detection systems at the beginning of new build projects. This may be for cost reasons, or because the construction companies may not feel it’s their responsibility to implement these systems. Yet repairs to damage caused by leaks and bursts during the construction and defects period will cost both time and money. That’s why, logically speaking, leak detection systems should ideally be installed at the beginning of any construction project – not as an afterthought. Michael Wakley elaborates on the fine detail.
