Removing the Barriers to Connected Factories (Webinar)

Hyperscale low-bandwidth IoT satellite constellations will soon power remote asset tracking, environmental monitoring, and agricultural telemetry.

In this week’s real-time analytics news: Sovereign Cloud efforts in the EU are heating up. SUSE launched a Cloud Sovereignty Framework Self Assessment to help businesses understand gaps in their digital strategy.

The real winners in satellite IoT in 2026 will be those who treat resilience, migration planning, and data discipline as strategic priorities.

For manufacturing organizations that embraced smart manufacturing in 2025, the payoff extended beyond operational metrics to strategic value creation.

As distributed AI workloads scale across geographically dispersed GPU clusters, submarine fiber-optic cables become critical infrastructure for model training, real-time inference, cross-border data replication, and multi-region

Effective CISOs focus on making informed, defensible cloud risk decisions that support innovation without sacrificing control.

Security must scale alongside AI development rather than lagging behind. This requires rethinking AppSec and risk management as a continuous practice driven by intelligence.

AI can improve industrial inventory management where traditional systems struggle most. This includes forecasting intermittent demand, positioning inventory across multiple sites, improving execution accuracy, and moving surplus inventory from planning to action. In each case, the value comes from better decisions grounded in data.
