We just launched Edge Compute Stack 3.5 -- it's got a lot of bells and whistles -- I like how Network World breaks down the state of the edge computing market, what companies need in terms of edge infrastructure, and how ECS 3.5 helps them get there in this article. https://bit.ly/3VKJFBf

Open is better than closed, yeah? Our newest blog by Cathal Fitzpatrick shows you how vendor-neutral VMware Distributed RIC is breaking barriers in RAN architecture. It's about near-real-time control, AI-driven optimization, and a thriving ecosystem that makes network management look like a breeze. Get ready to rethink what’s possible in RAN.

WOW. Day 1 of #NetAppINSIGHT did not disappoint. Here’s a couple of key highlights: NetApp CEO, George Kurian, revealed the secret recipe behind Intelligent Data Infrastructure…we’re talking block storage, AI, and cloud. We also heard from some of the world’s largest public cloud providers -- Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (AWS) about how we are helping our customers have the choice to manage their data storage – any data, any place, any workload. But my favorite part was hearing from a real-life hero, Monica Jain Director of R&D Data Science at Johnson & Johnson, who shared her awe-inspiring journey of using data analytics and AI to save lives. 1 day down, 2 to go. See you tomorrow! It’s going to be a big day. You won’t want to miss it.

Have you ever heard of a $20 cup of coffee? The Ain't Normal Cafe in Oakland is serving up just that. This reminded me of Madhavan Ramanujam's talk on value-based pricing. He asks the audience if they like coffee, then how about at $20 to reinforce the idea. According to a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle, there's one lingering question: Can a $20 cup of coffee ever be worth it? Well, that depends on who you ask :) Check out the article and let us know your thoughts! #Pricing #ValueBasedPricing #Coffee #AintNormalCafe

Llama 3 70B is already in the top 6 of all LLMs, showcasing better accuracy than much larger, proprietary models. It’s a testament to the power of data quality and showcases that open, small models can deliver leading performance – perfect for #edge deployments. With the release of new models like Phi-3 (mini 4B, small 7B and medium 14B), this trend is clearly accelerating.   Open-source small-to-medium sized models trained on high quality data can deliver market leading performance comparable to the largest proprietary models – great news for bringing #AI everywhere at the edge.   View the public leaderboard below.   #IAmIntel #OpenSource #LLM   https://lnkd.in/g5K_7P5d

@ChrisWolf, our Global Head of Private AI wrote this blog after speaking with countless business partners and customers who were looking for insights on best practices and best case scenarios use cases for AI. I’ve had similar discussions with customers. AI is transforming the business landscape, but rushing in without a solid strategy can lead to setbacks. When I talk to customers, I always recommend they focus on sustainable growth by starting with impactful, manageable AI projects and building flexible platforms that adapt and scale. I always bet on long-term value over quick wins (and shiny objects). https://lnkd.in/gvrgvms8

Today I saw that Cisco reported new financials for FY25. Which made me wonder. Can I just download financial reports, upload them to TriangleAI and get insights? Watch the video to find out! #futureoffinance #AI #finance #CFO

We at Vapor IO joined forces with NVIDIA and Comcast and to deliver edge network and advanced near prem data center facilities in advance of this AI at the Edge wave. Now, with Zero Gap AI we together are delivering the solution customers need to implement their #AI solutions. Gartner has predicted that by next year, 75% of data will be created and processed at the edge. Bringing AI to the edge will accelerate data processing. It will deliver robust computing capabilities out to where the various IoT and sensors are and remove the need to move data to the cloud for processing, which can take seconds. Processing it at the edge can reduce that to milliseconds, a crucial difference when thinking of use cases like autonomous vehicles. #edge #nvidia #GPUs #zerogapai

It was an amazing quarter. Revenue was great. Profitability is amazing and as Jim Cramer said "the first reaction, isn't always the right reaction." Check out the conversation on CNBC Mad Money today with Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora - "Our strategy for #platformization is the right strategy...and we aim to be the first $15B ARR company in #cybersecurity." #securethefuture #leadership #precisionAI https://lnkd.in/gaif23Td

I appreciated the dialogue at #FortuneGlobalForum this week with Andrew Nusca from Fortune and Kate Johnson from Lumen Technologies about AI’s rapid shift from concept to real-world impact.   To adopt AI at scale, you must have a North Star. The industrial sector’s North Star is accelerating the path to autonomy with the powerful trifecta of 5G, Cloud and AI coming together to solve the critical challenges of skill shortages and asset maximization.   We also discussed the critical importance of collaboration and sharing capabilities across ecosystems. Each company brings its strengths to solve customer problems together and scale faster -- we should not repeat and learn what others have already figured out. Watch the full discussion.

In the words of F5 distinguished engineer Lori MacVittie: "What the market wants—and needs—is an ADC that addresses the complexity of operating a hybrid #IT estate and the emerging challenges of employing #AI applications across nearly every business and operational function. An #ADC that doesn’t exist today. But it will." https://lnkd.in/gqDqe4z7 Stay tuned for more. This blog is worth a read!
