IT Technology Effectiveness
Internet of Things – IoT The internet of things refers to a world in which nearly every device used by humans is connected to a computer network (mostly wirelessly) to improve daily living. Our technology experts understand the vastness of the tens of billions of devices that today fall into IoT, and the future impacts of this massive networking change on our client’s businesses. Cloud Cloud Computing, or “the Cloud” utilizes vast stores of data to provide services to humans and machines across global geographies in a seamless manner often times on mobile devices. The cloud is active in often times hyper scale data centers that deliver the service experience in the same way regardless of geography. Many cloud-services depends on very large quantities of data that require real-time or near-real-time computing that is sometimes referred to as artificial intelligence, or cloud computing. Cloud services will affect nearly every business and our expert staff can help clients understand how to plan and expand their business for these services. Wireless/Mobile The future of communications is continuing to evolve toward wireless networked devices everywhere. This evolution requires major shifts in human-to-human, human-to-machine, and machine-to-machine communications. The technology to support this requires many changes in the network infrastructure, standards, and the devices themselves. Our industry experts can demystify this future and help understand what it means to your business. Passive Optical LAN (aka PON) Passive Optical LAN, or POL is a relatively new networking architecture that simplifies data networking designs, reduces deployment and operations costs, and enables superior user experience compared to the traditional copper-based data networks that have been used for the past 25 years. As its name implies, Passive Optical LAN is a network that uses fiber optic cables in all parts of the network, even to user workstations and other data endpoints. Because fiber optic cables can transport data at speeds and distances far exceeding copper cables, Passive Optical LAN is more flexible in network design, and can support current and future end-user data demands. |
