Cisco sees a data analytics fortune at the edge of the network
If you need to know when holiday shoppers are about to hit the checkout stands or when store shelves need to be stocked, Cisco Systems says a router can tell you.The company that commercialized routers 30 years ago is now using them to bring big-data analysis to the edges of networks, where some types of data may be priceless for a few seconds but not worth storing or sending to a cloud.That's one piece of Cisco Connected Analytics for the Internet of Everything, a set of new and existing capabilities that the company is introducing as a portfolio on Thursday. CEO John Chambers and services chief Edzard Overbeek are set to do the unveiling at an event at Cisco headquarters, a measure of the importance Cisco places on its Internet of Everything (IoE) vision, which it pegs as a US$19 trillion economy-wide opportunity over the next 10 years. Analytics is a $7.3 trillion chunk of that, the company says.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Top 10 tech stories of 2014
Backlash! Disrupting the disruptorsImage by ShutterstockBlowing up entrenched business models and picking up the profits that spill onto the floor is a time-honored tradition in tech, these days known by the cliche of the moment, "disruption." This year everyone was trying to push back against those upstarts, whether by buying them like Facebook did, reorganizing to compete with them like HP and Microsoft have done, or just plain going out against them guns blazing, as it seemed that every city and taxi company did with Uber.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Cisco Acquires Neohapsis: A Sign of the Times
Yesterday, Cisco Systems announced the acquisition of Neohapsis, a Chicago-based security consulting and services firm. Now Cisco's forte is in moving bits from source to destination and inspecting packets to enforce security rules and policies. So why is an equipment manufacturer buying a cybersecurity body shop? Several reasons: Security skills are in short supply. ESG research indicates that 25% of organizations have a problematic shortage of IT security skills and this isn't likely to change anytime soon (note: I am an ESG employee). Given this, every CISO I speak with is going over their security requirements with a fine-tooth comb and figuring out where they can use external security services to supplement internal skills or offload tasks. Network security is getting more difficult. Aside from a general lack of security skills, CISOs are also being asked to make security decisions for mobile computing, cloud applications, and software-defined networks. This is heady and esoteric stuff! Large organizations need help securing leading-edge technology initiatives sooner rather than later. Enterprises are building plans for an integrated infosec architecture. Large organizations don't want to buy more one-off threat management point tools from a potpourri of vendors. Rather, they are in the process of building an integrated security architecture featuring central command-and-control and distributed enforcement, anchored by security intelligence and analytics. This is a relatively new technology model – more art than science. CISOs need help in all areas of their planning here: Design, test, implementation, integration, support, etc. Security services demand was front-and-center in a recent ESG research report on network security. Enterprise security professionals (i.e. those working at organizations with over 1,000 employees) were asked to identify the types of network security services that would be most helpful for their organizations. Respondents said that they need help in a multitude of areas:To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Weird science: The 10 oddest tech stories of 2014
Weird science: The 10 oddest tech stories of 2014 Image by hitchBOTEvery now and again, strange events from the world of high tech bubble over to the general news cycle and make headlines for a day or two. No doubt these crossover hits favor reports that enforce the general populace's sentiment that technologists are fringe lunatics with their eyes on our collective future demise. This phenomenon has become more common in recent years as the intersections of technology and pop culture have become busier and more crowded. In 2014, plenty of technology weirdness cycled through the "odd news" section of mainstream media outlets. But for the real connoisseur of weird tech news, there's a very specific sweet spot.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
