22. AI is Not a Fad

Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 35:09

AI Field Day 5 Event Page: ⁠https://techfieldday.com/event/aifd5/⁠

The current hype about building massive generative AI models with massive hardware investment is just one aspect of AI. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast features Frederic Van Haren, Karen Lopez, Marian Newsome, and host Stephen Foskett taking a different perspective on the larger world of AI. Our last episode suggested that AI as it is currently being hyped is a fad, but the bigger world of AI is absolutely real. Large language models are maturing rapidly and even generative AI is getting better by the month, but we are rapidly seeing the reality of the use cases for this technology. All neural networks use patterns in historical data to infer results, so any AI engine could hallucinate. But traditional AI is much less susceptible to errors than the much-hyped generative AI models that are capturing the headlines today. AI is a tool that augments our knowledge and decision making, but it doesn't replace human intelligence. There is a whole world of AI applications that are productive, responsible, and practical, and these are most certainly not a fad.

21. AI as We Know It is Just a Fad

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 • Duration 34:23

AI Field Day 5: https://techfieldday.com/event/aifd5/ Although AI is certain to transform society, not to mention computing, what we know if it is unlikely to last much longer. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast brings together Glenn Dekhayser, Alastair Cooke, Allyson Klein, and Stephen Foskett to discuss the real and changing world of AI. Looking at AI infrastructure today, we see massive clusters of GPUs being deployed in the cloud and on-premises to train ever-larger language models, but how much business value do these clusters have long-term? It seems that the true transformation promised by LLM and GenAI will be realized once models are applied across industries with RAG or tuning rather than developing new models. Ultimately AI is a feature of a larger business process or application rather than being a product in itself. We can certainly see that AI-based applications will be transformative, but the vast investment required to build out AI infrastructure to date might never be recouped. Ultimately there is a future for AI, but not the way we have been doing it to date.

12. It's Time for Private 5G in the Enterprise

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 • Duration 24:39

Event Page: https://techfieldday.com/event/atm24/

Wi-Fi has changed the way we work in the office but it’s not the only wireless technology. Challenging environments require new solutions like private 5G. In this episode, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Mark Houtz and Shaun Neal as they discuss the rise of private LTE/5G technologies outside of the carrier space. They discuss the use cases where private 5G makes the most sense as well as why teams would choose to deploy this technology in the uncarpeted enterprise. The wrap up by suggesting questions that should be asked before embarking on a private 5G deployment.

Wireless is Not Mission Critical

Tuesday, July 26, 2022 • Duration 27:14

The world is more wireless now than ever. No matter where you go you’ll find some form of wireless connectivity. But what about those applications that need to be more reliable? What about those places where you need it to work no matter what? Is wireless reliable enough? Or is wireless not mission critical?

Multi-Cloud is Inevitable

Tuesday, July 19, 2022 • Duration 30:57

What really is multi-cloud and why does it keep coming up so often in the context of enterprise cloud computing models? If you know anything about cloud computing, you’d know that the hottest thing in the cloud domain right now is multi-cloud – a model companies are incrementally adopting to keep their applications and services distributed across public and private clouds, and now edge cloud platforms. Seeing that that’s the status quo for a majority of the enterprises in cloud, the big question is – is multi-cloud inevitable? Are companies that have not embraced it yet also headed in that same direction? Are all vendors in the future going to have a cross-cloud service portfolio to support the multi-cloud movement? Or is it just another trend that’s having its 15 minutes of fame? On this episode of the On-Premise IT Podcast, Stephen Foskett is joined by a panel of delegates who drills into these questions to bring clarity to the topic of multi-cloud and what the future looks like for this model.

You’re Using the Word Site Survey Wrong

Tuesday, July 12, 2022 • Duration 25:23

In wireless we talk about doing site surveys but do we actually know what that means? Are we even talking about the same thing when we mention in as part of a pre-sea engagement or post-sales validation? And who should be doing it? In this episode, our group of wireless experts discuss the premise and whatever or not we are Using the Words Site Survey Wrong.

The Future of Storage Isn’t Purely Hardware or Software

Tuesday, July 5, 2022 • Duration 30:52

The development of enterprise storage has historically oscillated between a focus on special-purpose hardware and optimized software. In this episode, brought to you by Pure Storage, Justin Emerson, Justin Warren, and Marc Staimer join Stephen Foskett to discuss this push and pull. Modern storage systems are extremely complicated, with layers of virtualization, different protocols, intelligence, tiered media, and scalability. All of this complexity makes the design of a storage system more difficult, so a company like Pure that can control the entire stack is able to deliver a more efficient system.

Consistent Security is Very Difficult

Tuesday, June 28, 2022 • Duration 27:33

Security is a hard job. We spend our time analyzing our environment and building controls to keep our users and their data safe. As hard as security can feel it’s even harder to apply consistently. Attackers only have to get lucky once. Is your company using security in a reactionary mode? Or are they planning ahead with policies and platforms designed to prevent exposure? In this episode, sponsored by Fortinet, we discuss why Consistent Security is Hard.

Networking is Too Complex

Friday, June 24, 2022 • Duration 23:30

The more advanced a technology becomes, the more complex it appears. Is that always the case? Or is the complexity in networking coming from something besides the technology itself? Are there reasons why networking gets more and more complex as the years go by? Are we just doing this to ourselves? Is Networking Too Complex?
