Founder and CEO, Cary Jardin previously setup IPivot, which made an appliance that could connect to any server to offload Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and decryption functions, improving server speed and boosting Website performance, according to Jardin.
IPivot appliances could also "intelligently" determine where data should be processed and then send the request to servers that could deliver the best response time reducing the frustration of waiting for Web pages to load on a computer screen.
Jardin sold IPivot to Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) in October 1999, for $500 million.
By 2001, Jardin and several long-time associates had had enough of the big company game and quit Intel to devise plans to meet what they saw as the next great need for large, data-intensive enterprises. It was clear to Jardin and his crew that the front-end network performance issues had, by and large, been addressed -- and that the real problem moving forward lay at the backend, where database transactions are completed, stored, read, and written.
Hence, NextGigs vision for a series of database acceleration products took shape.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
