Data is the new crude of the modern enterprise. And intelligence is the refined oil that makes the modern business run more efficiently in the digital economy. How quickly a company can execute this transformation from data to intelligence is known as “time-to- value.” This metric is perhaps the most critical measure of an organization’s …
Moor Insights & Strategy believes that benchmarks need to follow a specific set of rules to be useful. They must be up to date and relevant to specific workloads. The guiding principle of running any benchmark is that it must assess a system’s performance in a particular application or workflow in a way that reflects a typical …

For more than 80 years, HP Inc. has endured. Founded during the Great Depression in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and David Packard, few realize that the company is more than twice as old as Dell (1984) and Lenovo (1984) and significantly older than Apple (1976). HP has remained competitive and relevant by repeatedly relying on …
Companies’ interest in network automation surges as they seek to support knowledge workers under the impact of COVID-19. In the past, most IT operators were reluctant to automate out of fear of losing control. However, given the pandemic-driven need to support remote workers on a massive scale, enterprises and service providers alike should consider automation. Automation …
Recent events underscore the need to support a hybrid approach to enable knowledge- worker productivity, both inside and outside the office. To ensure a consistent and secure application experience for all users, IT directors need to rethink network design to ensure consistency of IT operations as well as ease of management. Infrastructure providers offer many …

One area I cover closely as a tech analyst is workplace productivity solutions. While perhaps it’s easy to take for granted the tools we all use on a daily basis, businesses’ success ultimately depends on the ability of its employees to communicate and collaborate effectively and productively. It’s communication that makes a team a team. I initially got …
While NVIDIA dominates the market for AI-specific silicon accelerating the training of neural networks, many AI startups are developing silicon to accelerate inference processing, both for data center and edge applications. CPUs have typically been the choice for inference processing, but this is changing rapidly as the size of neural networks grows exponentially and applications …
We live in an intelligent world. A host of devices shapes the way we live, from the cars we drive and the streets on which those cars are driven, to the power plants that generate electricity to the factories that make the goods we consume. This intelligent world is the result of intelligent infrastructure. The …
