Gartner’s 2024 predictions: Lots of AI, changing cybersecurity roles, electricity rationing, and more

AI will play a significant role in enterprise IT in the coming year, and the influence of generative AI will permeate other tech trends on the horizon. Smart robots, a rise in employee unionization, and growing power-availability concerns are among the top predictions for 2024 and beyond from research firm Gartner, which is hosting its annual IT Symposium/Xpo this week.“This is the first full year with generative AI (GenAI) at the heart of every strategic decision, and every other technology-driven innovation has been pushed out of the spotlight,” said Leigh McMullen, distinguished vice president analyst at Gartner. “GenAI has broken the mold and has kept building more excitement.”To read this article in full, please click here

Network flow monitoring is GA, providing end-to-end traffic visibility

Network flow monitoring is GA, providing end-to-end traffic visibility

Network engineers often find they need better visibility into their network’s traffic and operations while analyzing DDoS attacks or troubleshooting other traffic anomalies. These engineers typically have some high level metrics about their network traffic, but they struggle to collect essential information on the specific traffic flows that would clarify the issue. To solve this problem, Cloudflare has been piloting a cloud network flow monitoring product called Magic Network Monitoring that gives customers end-to-end visibility into all traffic across their network.

Today, Cloudflare is excited to announce that Magic Network Monitoring (previously called Flow Based Monitoring) is now generally available to all enterprise customers. Over the last year, the Cloudflare engineering team has significantly improved Magic Network Monitoring; we’re excited to offer a network services product that will help our customers identify threats faster, reduce vulnerabilities, and make their network more secure.

Magic Network Monitoring is automatically enabled for all Magic Transit and Magic WAN enterprise customers. The product is located at the account level of the Cloudflare dashboard and can be opened by navigating to “Analytics & Logs > Magic Monitoring”. The onboarding process for Magic Network Monitoring is self-serve, and all enterprise customers with access can begin Continue reading

Nvidia, Foxconn partner to start building AI factories

Chipmaker Nvidia and the world’s largest contract manufacturer Foxconn are partnering to start building AI factories globally, the two companies announced on Tuesday.AI factories are data centers with infrastructure specially built for processing, refining, and transforming vast amounts of data into valuable AI models and tokens, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang and Foxconn Chairman and CEO Young Liu, said during a fireside chat at Hon Hai Tech Day, in Taipei.“A new type of manufacturing has emerged — the production of intelligence. And the data centers that produce it are AI factories,” Huang said in a statement, adding that the data center infrastructure would include Nvidia’s accelerated computing platform — the latest GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and Nvidia’s AI enterprise software.To read this article in full, please click here

Networking and security teams tasked to converge, collaborate

Cloud computing, hybrid work, and remote connectivity are amplifying the need for networking and security teams to be in lockstep. Increasingly, enterprises are considering consolidating the two groups – or at least boosting collaboration between teams, according to research from Cato Networks.In a recent survey of 1,694 IT leaders worldwide, 44% of respondents said networking and security teams “must work together,” and another 30% said they “must have shared processes.” Another 8% said they’re working to create one networking and security group.The goal of shared processes could be a hefty challenge for some organizations. In the Cato Networks survey, 12% of respondents reported that their networking and security teams either have “turf wars or struggle working together,” and another 34% said they “occasionally have problems working together.” The remaining 54% reported that the two teams work well together now.To read this article in full, please click here
