Data quality is fairly simple nomenclature to describe the state of the data being processed, analyzed, fed into AI, and more. But this modest little term belies an incredibly critical and complicated reality: that enterprises require the highest level of data quality possible in order to do everything from developing product and business strategies, and engaging with customers, to predicting the weather and finding the fastest delivery routes.

Data centers consume a lot of energy; some say it can be as much as 1.8% of total U.S. electricity consumption. It’s why power consumption, cooling costs, and space requirements are at the heart of the sustainable data center.

Remember way back around 2016, when “IoT” was just entering the lexicon? The technology behind the “Internet of things” was starting to be used across industries. In the energy space, for example, companies used it to capture data being sent from tens of thousands of sensors from various equipment, like inverters, controllers, anemometers (wind speed detectors), cloud-watching cameras, and more.

Whether on-premises, private, hybrid or multicloud, or at the edge – working in the cloud is complex. And as the enterprise expands, so too does the threat surface for cyberattacks. Ransomware, in particular, is among the biggest risks organizations now face and cloud-based data is accounting for 39% of successful attacks.

When Pentaho Enterprise Edition (EE) 9.3 was released in May it represented a significant step in the journey towards a seamless hybrid cloud solution – one that simplified decisions and enabled customers to manage all their data operations for various use case scenarios.

Gaps in patient healthcare, ranging from access and affordability, to those specific to race, gender, age and beyond, are widening across the US and leading to a variety of detrimental results for people, the healthcare system, and the economy itself. Such ongoing disparities are slowing the country’s ability to achieve population health and accounting for billions of dollars in unnecessary health care spending annually.

Data backup is the last line of defense when a cyberattack occurs, especially when the attack is ransomware. With robust data backup technologies and procedures, an organization can return to a point-in-time prior to the attack and return to operations relatively quickly. But as data volumes continue to explode, ransomware attacks are growing more sophisticated and beginning to target that precious backup data and administrator functions.

Cloud complexity is an inevitability. Regardless of where an organization may be on their cloud journey – on-prem, in the public cloud, or managing an expanding hybrid cloud – the reality is managing the enterprise isn’t getting any easier. Demand continues to rise for greater access to more data across the organization to do things like run analytics and machine learning and to automate more processes.
