Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads require high computing performance and a large memory footprint. These workloads are sensitive to faster CPU performance and higher clock speeds since the faster performance allows more jobs to be completed on the lower number of cores. At AWS re:Invent 2020, we launched Amazon EC2 M5zn instances which use second-generation […]

While it’s no secret that the technical sophistication of cyber-attacks grows exponentially, adversaries often need widespread networks to make it happen. One of the ways to do that is to infect legitimate devices and use them for running malicious code in the background. That’s where botnets come into play. According to Spamhaus, the third quarter […]

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) allows EC2 instances, AWS Lambda functions, and containers to share access to a fully-managed file system. First announced in 2015 and generally available in 2016, Amazon EFS delivers low-latency performance for a wide variety of workloads and can scale to thousands of concurrent clients or connections. Since the 2016 […]

The sooner you release your unique idea to the public, the higher the chance that it will receive the lion’s share of the audience’s attention. Delays in development can lead competitors to release their products before you. We recommend using DevOps practices to avoid this scenario. However, what if you are a small company or […]

Note: this blog introduces the concept of the Marginal Propensity to Reuse which is the primary driver behind the Data Economic Multiplier Effect and the Schmarzo Economic Digital Asset Valuation Theorem. The Marginal Propensity to Reuse states that an increase in the reuse of a data set across multiple use cases drives an increase in the attributable value of that […]

If you are reading this blog, there is a high chance you frequently use the AWS Management Console. I taught AWS classes for years. During classes, students’ first hands-on experience with the AWS Cloud happened on the console, and I bet yours did too. Until today, the home page of the console showed your most […]

Many entrepreneurs believe digital technologies will transform the way their companies work. By 2022, the worldwide hyper-automation technology market is expected to be worth $596.6 billion. And by 2055, almost half of today’s jobs will be automated. This influx of sophisticated technologies will enable organizations to view work in fresh, innovative ways. Companies with business […]

No organization in healthcare, retail, logistics, or any other industry is immune to cyberattacks, outside threats, or internal human errors. But in healthcare, such risks bring additional consequences, for example, patients’ sensitive data disclosure. Healthcare establishments realize that and start taking actions. One of the first steps is implementing a cybersecurity framework. It helps organizations […]
