The cloud revolution: From inception to innovation and increasing interconnectivity

Cullen Childress — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 09:45:00 +0000

The origins of cloud computing are – rather appropriately – somewhat nebulous. It can be argued that the seeds of this transformational technology were sown in the 1960s when time-sharing systems opened the door to multiple users being able to access mainframe computers all at once. Fast-forward thirty years, and AT&T’s launch of its PersonaLink […]

Avishai Sharlin, Amdocs: The rise of post-quantum computing in the fight between good and evil

Duncan MacRae — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:18:00 +0000

Recent advancements in quantum computing, including improvements in qubit count, coherence time and gate fidelity, have yet to provide a practical edge over classical computers. That was the conclusion of Forrester’s 2024 Quantum Computing Trends report. Quantum systems remain experimental and are unable to deliver the large-scale results needed to rival traditional computing methods. So […]
