Identity verification has taken on a new urgency for cybersecurity and IT teams in the new era of remote work. Confirming a person’s identity has been important since the advent of data privacy laws and the need to verify those requesting to see their personal data or the right to be forgotten—no company wanted to risk […] The post Identity Verification: Is Your Potential Employee Who They Say They Are? appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) has revolutionized the global networking market by transmitting data and power over a single Ethernet Cable. PoE switches are an ideal solution for enterprise networks as they save deployment costs, reduce cabling requirements and provide vastly increased reliability. PoE allows remote or outside equipment to be installed without requiring a connection […] The post Power over Ethernet brings power to the people appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

A little over two years ago, a shipping container-sized cylinder bearing Microsoft’s name and logo was lowered onto the ocean floor off the northern coast of Scotland. Inside were 864 servers, and their submersion was part of the second phase of the software giant’s Project Natick. Launched in 2015, the project’s purpose is to determine […] The post Microsoft Had a Crazy Idea to Put Servers Under Water—and It Totally Worked appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

In the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” episode “The Measure of a Man,” Data, an android crew member of the Enterprise, is to be dismantled for research purposes unless Captain Picard can argue that Data deserves the same rights as a human being. Naturally the question arises: What is the basis upon which something has rights? What gives an […] The post If a robot is conscious, is it OK to turn it off?

The exponential growth of data center network devices and high-power computing equipment has led to an increased need for a device that delivers power efficiently, while conserving rack space. A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a viable solution as it provides electrical power and protection to all connected networking equipment. It draws power from an […] The post PDUs: the Data Cabinet Center of Power appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

When we started using plastics about 70 years ago, not much thought—if any—went to the implications of their lifespan and the fact that they can take centuries to decompose. Consequently, as plastics have diversified and become easier to manufacture, the planet is now stuck with some 8.3 billion tons of the stuff—almost every bit of plastic ever […] The post Researchers develop cool new way to upcycle waste plastic into useful molecules appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

  Over the last several months, businesses of all sizes have had to embrace rapid change, as have their workforces. When it comes to IT departments, even before the pandemic many were fielding requests to implement new technology, customize solutions to niche problems and automate specific tasks at rapid rates. Unfortunately, these increased demands coincide […] The post How to foster a culture of citizen developers appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

For the first time, my colleagues and I have built a single electronic device that is capable of copying the functions of neuron cells in a brain. We then connected 20 of them together to perform a complicated calculation. This work shows that it is scientifically possible to make an advanced computer that does not rely on transistors to […] The post Neuronlike circuits bring brainlike computers a step closer appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

The world of computing is full of buzzwords: AI, supercomputers, machine learning, the cloud, quantum computing and more. One word in particular is used throughout computing – algorithm. In the most general sense, an algorithm is a series of instructions telling a computer how to transform a set of facts about the world into useful […] The post How algorithms run the world behind the scenes appeared first on NetworkTigers News.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced most people to create an office space of their own – whether by devoting a room in our homes for work, sitting socially distanced in common areas or just creating a “Zoom worthy” corner in a bedroom. As a scholar who researches and designs learning and workspaces, I’m aware how the […] The post How the needs of monks and empire builders helped mold the modern-day office appeared first on NetworkTigers News.
