Redefining Connectivity for AI-Driven Manufacturers
The rise of AI is reshaping manufacturing – from smart assembly lines and predictive maintenance to real-time quality control. These AI-driven processes generate massive, unpredictable data flows that strain traditional networks. Manufacturers need connectivity that can keep pace: high-bandwidth links, ultra-low latency, and flexible, distributed architecture. Fortunately, modern SD‑WAN (software-defined WAN) is evolving to meet these needs.
What the Arista Acquisition of VeloCloud Means for the Future of Managed SD-WAN
In today’s manufacturing and enterprise environments, the old security adage of “trust but verify” is no longer enough. With the rapid adoption of cloud services, remote working, and the ever-increasing sophistication of cyber threats, IT managers are under pressure to rethink how their organisations approach network security. The answer for many is Zero Trust — a modern framework that’s transforming how businesses protect their data, users, and operations.
Cybersecurity Framework for Smart Factories: 7 Essential Steps Every IT Manager Must Take
As smart factories become the cornerstone of modern manufacturing, integrating Industrial IoT (IIoT), AI-driven automation, and cloud platforms, cybersecurity has emerged as a non-negotiable priority. The convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) creates unprecedented vulnerabilities, with cyberattacks on manufacturing now outpacing those on financial sectors.
The Future of Construction: Top 5 Tech Trends for 2025
The construction industry stands at a pivotal moment, with technology poised to redefine how projects are planned, executed, and maintained. As we look toward 2025, several emerging trends are set to transform the sector-delivering gains in productivity, safety, sustainability, and efficiency. Here are the top five technology trends every construction professional should watch.
7 Best Security Practices for Your Generative AI Tools
Generative AI (GenAI) tools are transforming the way organisations operate, streamlining everything from content creation to workflow automation across sales, marketing, product development, and IT. With 65% of companies now using GenAI in at least one business function—and this figure set to rise—security is more crucial than ever. Without robust protection, these tools can expose your business to data breaches, cyber-attacks, and compliance failures.
Is Your Manufacturing Network Ready for the AI Revolution?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, and manufacturing is no exception. From predictive maintenance to AI-driven automation, the integration of AI into manufacturing processes demands more from enterprise networks than ever before. But is your Wide Area Network (WAN) ready to support the AI-driven future?
The SD-WAN Solution: Elevating Wireless Connectivity for Manufacturing and Construction
Reliable, high-performance connectivity is essential in manufacturing and construction, where real-time data, IoT devices, cloud applications, and AI-driven systems are becoming the norm. However, traditional wireless connectivity has struggled to meet the rigorous demands of these industries, often falling short in terms of reliability, security, and performance.
Escape Broadcom’s Price Hike for VMware: The Smart Alternative
The tech industry has been rocked by Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, bringing sweeping changes to licensing models and pricing structures. Businesses that have relied on VMware for their virtualisation infrastructure are now facing significantly higher costs due to the elimination of perpetual licences in favour of a subscription-based model. With reports of price increases reaching up to 700%, IT managers must urgently seek alternatives to avoid budget overruns.
AI Reshaping Connectivity for Manufacturing and Construction
In the manufacturing industry, connectivity plays a critical role in powering operations, managing supply chains, and enabling advanced technologies such as IoT and automation. However, achieving reliable, high-speed internet access in remote or industrial areas has historically been a challenge. Traditional broadband solutions often fall short, leaving manufacturing facilities in connectivity dead zones.
