Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Sandra Pattison; Your internet service provider can give you a static IP address that stays the same or a dynamic one that changes. The same goes for virtual private network providers, except that they’re shared. A dedicated IP address is static and only assigned to you. In this article, we’ll cover the pros of a dedicated IP address and which provider is the best VPN with dedicated IPs. With a dynamic IP address, you won’t be assigned the same IP address each time you connect to the internet. Most VPNs use dynamic IPs addresses because they’re more ... Read More

Feed: Cloud Data Transformation Software | Matillion. Author: Julie Polito; There’s no doubt–data is your competitive edge. How fast organizations can collect, process, and analyze data will determine who leads the market in the next five years.  But there’s a hitch. Traditional on-premises data warehouses, while still fine for some purposes, have their challenges within a modern data architecture. They just aren’t scalable enough or cost-effective to support the petabytes of data we generate. And that amount that will only increase with the Internet of Things and other new sources.  When it comes to data, the future of data analytics ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Thomas Bryce Kelly. So all oceanographers are familiar with the results of gridding, even if they are not so familiar with the process. Gridding is, in general, any method that will take observations and output interpolated (and sometimes extrapolated) data that is placed onto a regular, well-behaving grid. Below is a simple illustration of just such a process where we take scattered observations of temperature and construct a very regular map of temperatures. Gridding can be done to arbitrary resolution (even though the accuracy does not increase!) at the expense of computational resources: Although oceanographers and other ... Read More

And legacy systems cannot be decommissioned unless new systems are fully operational and tested, meaning some overlap between old and ... Read More

In this piece, I would like to explore the ... Read More
