NonStop Migration: Should you stay or should you go? Karen CopelandJuly 30, 20190502 views In 1982, a band called THE CLASH sang, “Should I stay or should I go now? If I go, there will be trouble, and if I stay it will be double . . .” and it’s possible some NonStop customers may think it is better to stay on the NonStop i boat rather than migrate but over time that decision will cause them to miss out on new features and enhancements coming to the NonStop X product line.

Fact or Fiction? Can Edge Computing and IoT Stop World Hunger? Jill SweeneyJuly 17, 20180174 views [vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Stop world hunger, really? According to the World Economic Forum, the global population will increase to an estimated ten billion people by the year 2050 and will demand 70% more food than is produced today. That’s a lot of people to feed and will put greater stress on natural resources like water. Feeding this expanded population nutritiously and sustainably will require substantial improvements to the global food system – where nearly 1/3 of food produced is lost due to waste or supply chain inefficiencies.… Read more
