In today's digital age, organizations are experiencing an unprecedented increase in data generation. In 2010, the world stored about two zettabytes of data, and this number is expected to hit 175ZB in 2025. This immense growth underscores the importance of data efficiency in modern organizations. Data efficiency ensures that data is stored, processed, optimized for performance, and managed—cost effectively.

AI-powered development is moving faster than ever. Tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot, and models like ChatGPT-4, Claude, and Gemini transform how software is built. These tools can generate code, solve problems, and deliver full applications in a single day, far quicker than traditional methods. But with this rapid development comes a major challenge: testing. While code is generated in hours, traditional testing tools and methods lag.

Earth Day gives us all the opportunity to raise awareness, reflect and take action to support a sustainable future. The day, which offers so many ways to get involved, means many things to different people. Fortunately, in the data infrastructure business, there are many areas where we can make improvements to support resilience, efficiency and optimization. At Hitachi Vantara, we’re committed to the principles of sustainability and responsible business practices.

Enterprise organizations rarely operate with a single API gateway. As business units adopt technologies independently, it is common to find, for example, Kong in one domain, AWS API Gateway in another, and additional platforms elsewhere. This flexibility drives velocity—but it also fragments visibility. Without a unified view of API activity, enterprise teams face inconsistencies in reporting, gaps in customer insights, and difficulty enforcing governance policies.

Across the globe, organizations are united by one shared priority: sustainability. While committing to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives is simply the right thing to do to preserve our planet for future generations, businesses face additional pressure to prioritize sustainability via regulations, expectations from investors, and consumer preferences. Since 2019, thousands of companies have committed to achieving net-zero emissions.

Happy Earth Day 2025! This year's theme, "Our Power, Our Planet," resonates deeply with Qlik's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship. We believe that creating a sustainable future requires a collective effort, and we're dedicated to prioritizing and embracing renewable energy sources.

The Android emulator is an Android virtual device that is used to test and debug Android code. It looks and behaves the same as a physical Android device, and while it has some limitations (more of which later), it provides real time and cost savings for developers. Unlike the iPhone, which is limited to one manufacturer and a specific number of iOS versions, there are thousands of Android device types out there.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has taken the internet by storm by rapidly becoming the standard for Large Language Models (LLMs) to communicate with external data sources or tools. MCP provides a structured way to fetch data and trigger workflows through APIs and functions. However, with great power comes great responsibility.
