The big task ahead for the oil and gas sector is how swiftly and successfully it can move to take advantage of the many foreseen opportunities that blockchain will bring. For oil and gas value chain, data has gone from an asset to an unutilized overstock. Operators and end users are diving down in data and urgently need a way to control and authenticate resourceful information. Blockchain has tremendous potential to reduce the risk of fraud, error, and invalid transactions in energy trading, make financial transactions more efficient, facilitate regulatory reporting requirements, and enable interoperability as claimed an...
Potential Solutions to Skill India in Emerging Technology
In 4 years, India will have the world’s largest population of working people, about 87 crore in all[1]. India’s capability to utilize the opportunity that the projected demographic dividend is going to give is not assured. Our labor force or working population, the enhancers of GDP, will be outgrowing the number of people who depend on the GDP. According to a paper written by Shekar Aiyar and Ashok Mody[2], it is projected that over next two decades in India, the increasing demographic dividend could add 2% points per annum to India’s GDP growth.

Why It’s Important for Edge Computing to be Open Source
The lid has been blown off the data center, and edge computing is poised to become the dominant paradigm. Consisting of the robots on a factory floor, small servers that are hundreds of feet in the air inside wind turbines, blast-proof servers in an oil field, and many other devices everywhere, edge computing is set to overshadow both cloud and the datacenter as the dominant data driver. According to one analyst firm, 45 percent of IoT-created data will be stored, processed and acted upon close to or at the edge of the network in 2019. Another analyst predicts that 75 percent of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed at the edge by 2022. For the next 5 years, ARC Advisory Group forecasts almost 25% annual growth for edge software platforms. While major vendors may see ...

Analytics-Driven Business Improvements Entice Enterprise Cloud Providers to Bring Hardware to Industrial IoT Edge
Enterprise cloud providers, such as AWS, Google, and Microsoft, are targeting the data-rich industrial IoT edge as a primary means of delivering analytics-driven business improvement. The industrial IoT edge is where most of the data necessary for analytics resides, plus there is tremendous value in providing preprocessed analytics output to the cloud – if not executing closed loop ML at the edge itself, even in real-time. Cloud providers are positioning edge offerings to their IT customers based on a common edge development environment and availability of large developer and support ecosystems relative to dedicated automation environments. Extending their reach to the edge further allows cloud providers to leverage their strengths in data architecture, integration, and security. One of...
