Artificial intelligence (AI)—especially machine learning technologies as applied to advanced analytics—provides a way to transcend the limitations of human analysis, and evolve from a data-centric IT to an information-centric IT. AI provides the capabilities to deliver a true intelligence technology: one that, once trained, requires no human in...

Industries are flocking to the IoT because of the potential benefits; and falling prices on compute power, bandwidth, connectivity, and sensors are only accelerating the effect. As a result, and as this report will show, those deploying the IoT are thrusting ordinary objects that were never designed with the Internet in mind out onto the front line...

This report examines the state of weather-aware business processes and the effect of AI on business processes. We then discuss how IBM is applying AI technology advances, IBM Watson and The Weather Company, to optimize the business processes of its clients. This will be of interest to any business that is weather-dependent: that is, all businesses.

This report looks at some of the ways virtualization changes what CSPs must look for to gauge performance; and how they must view the character of their networks and services based on new metrics. While Stratecast has always blanched at the characterization, by some pontificators, of CSPs and their networks as dinosaurs in this industry, it might n...

Even if predictive maintenance were to become widespread in the manufacturing vertical, it would impact only one area of a manufacturer’s operations. BDA has the potential to leverage data collected through IoT—and almost 40 other areas—to do much more for manufacturing companies, in almost every corner of the enterprise. This report analyzes...

The Krebs On Security attack, and subsequent attacks observed since, cast a spotlight on the heretofore undefined risk of IoT-based DDoS attacks. This market insight will explore the DDoS risk associated with IoT devices, and implications for IoT DDoS mitigation practices.

This SPIE is somewhat unique in that, rather than focusing externally on market forces, Stratecast is taking a hard look in the mirror. Is what we offer so unique that AI technology cannot replace us? Can AI provide the same sorts of market advantages that engaging with an analyst firm can? This SPIE explores these questions.

This report will illustrate why the internet of things and the connected home are virtually synonymous, why consumers are adopting IoT technology, and what they think of that process. It will conclude with some examples of the connected home vision, and an exploration of opportunities in the connected home IoT space.

This SPIE report discusses the software-defined data center, including its evolution from virtualization technology. It also assesses the benefits and challenges of current SDDC platforms, and how Stratoscale answers those challenges with its Symphony platform. Finally, the report reviews the Symphony platform, including its architecture, features ...
