Quantum computing is coming, and this guy is making the leap

When IBM wanted to accelerate its development of quantum computing, the next generation of computers experts says will be exponentially faster and smarter than anything we have today, it turned to an entrepreneur who admits that he isn’t an expert in the field. He isn’t a physicist or a mathematician—in fact, he learned everything he knows from reading every book he could find on the topic over the past two years.

Modernization in the it environment – software defined everything

In the age of digitization and data-driven IT, traditional IT architectures – which are closely tied to hardware – are increasingly reaching their limits in many companies. The upcoming, necessary paradigm shift was already heralded years ago with Netscape inventor Marc Andreessen's striking saying "Software is eating the world". In terms of IT infrastructure, this change took concrete shape in the form of virtualization of x86 servers. The virtualization of further infrastructure components like storage, network, security, etc. is a problem. Leads to the promising Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) approach. Currently, the diagnosis "Software has eaten the world" characterizes the state of affairs quite accurately – and not only in IT. It is therefore the ideal time to take a closer look at the concept of Software Defined Everything (SDx).

Software Defined Everything and what's behind it. It's not as if the hardware has been able to get by without any software at all so far. But in traditional IT architectures, the manufacturer-specific, often very specialized properties of the hardware components determine to a large extent and within quite narrow limits what is feasible within this architecture. Changes in (business) requirements therefore often lead to considerable resource- and time-intensive redesigns.

Rpa software components

This article further drills down into the basic structure of Robotic Process Automation software and its component. An RPA tool usually consists of three different parts, which are presented in detail below:

  • Development environment (Studio)
  • Sequence environment (orchestrator / control center)
  • "Software robots", with the help of which the processes are executed on a computer or server

Each component has its own properties and is used and operated by different users in a larger installation. Thus, appropriate rights& Accesses managed to preventively meet some IT security aspects. First of all the studio for the development of the "robot processes" is introduced.

Canon, fujifilm, olympus and panasonic – using the camera as a webcam

The camera from the side

At the end of April Canon was the first manufacturer, at the end of May Fujifilm with a few models and now Panasonic is also at the start. In the current Corona time not only the toilet paper is in short supply in all the stores.
Good, at least the toilet paper has disappeared very quickly. With the webcams, however, it is still the case that certain models are heavily out of stock. Out of stock is one thing, what's worse are the exorbitant prices that certain dealers have called in the meantime.
In the meantime at least cameras can be used as webcams, at least some models from certain manufacturers. Which are those, I would like to show you here in the contribution.

5 Best data quality tools for your use in 2023

Data Quality Tools

Data quality tools are essential for businesses to make strategic decisions, achieve business objectives, and solve critical challenges. TechTarget defines data quality as a health condition of data based on factors such as accuracy, consistency, reliability, completeness, and whether it’s real-time or not. If the data is bad, it can cost organizations an average of $12.9 million every year, according to a Gartner report . On the other hand, 80% of companies see a surge in revenue after implementing good and real-time data.
