Years of hard work came to fruition this week as much-anticipated Microsoft Surface devices and the newest installment of Xbox’s “Halo” game franchise stepped out onto the world stage – and into the hands of consumers. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Check out this week’s big news from across the company. On Monday, Microsoft’s Surface Book and Surface Pro 4, two new devices first unveiled earlier this month, went on sale in the U.S. and Canada. The launch was especially exciting at the new two-story Microsoft flagship store on New York City’s 5th Avenue – Microsoft’s first-ever flagship store. Surface Book features a display that delivers 6 million pixels, a keyboard that draws on more than 25 years of design experience and a hinge unlike any other laptop. Surface Pro 4 has already amassed the fastest adoption rate by businesses of any Surface device, and it’s the thinnest and most powerful version yet. “In designing these products, our team really does consider every detail so that your experience of using them is truly great,” wrote Panos Panay, corporate vice president for Microsoft Devices. When “Halo 5: Guardians” launched on Tuesday, the latest addition to Microsoft’s blockbuster […]

Quelle: Shutterstock.com VMware auf der Automotive Europe vom 02. – 03. November 2015 in Stuttgart (Standnr. 48) Warum geht ein Software-Hersteller auf eine Automobilmesse? Nicht nur, weil unter den bei der Automotive Europe ausstellenden Unternehmen viele namhafte Kunden sind. Sondern vor allem auch deshalb, weil einer der größten Zukunftstrends „Vernetzte Fahrzeuge“ (Connectect Cars) ist. So steht der Messeauftritt des Cloud- und Virtualisierungsspezialisten VMware ganz unter dem Motto „Vom Software-Defined Datacenter zum Software-Defined Car“. Als weltweit führendes Unternehmen für Cloud-Infrastrukturen und Unternehmensmobilität bietet VMware flexible, skalierbare und sichere Lösungen, die in der Automobilbranche besonders zum Tragen kommen und speziell im Umfeld von Connect Car Anwendung finden. Dies beinhaltet Over-the-Air-Management, Software-Updates und Konfigurationsänderungen. Auch Roaming-Profile für personalisierte Inhalte und Einstellungen im Bereich Car-Sharing lassen sich realisieren. Die sichere Erfassung und Analyse von Telemetriedaten ist der zweite Schwerpunkt des VMware-Angebots. Die Verbindung zu einem hocheffizienten Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) und der Hybrid Cloud als Back-End stellen sicher, dass Dienste hochverfügbar und weltweit bereitgestellt werden können. „Das Auto der Zukunft ist durch Software defininert“, ist sich Matthias Schorer, Experte für Industrie 4.0 und Connected Cars bei VMware sicher. „Als Anbieter eines durchgängigen Lösungsportfolios, das vom Fahrzeug bis zum Vehicle-Backend geht, sind wir in der […]

Jens Zeyer, Operational Marketing Executive vom VMware-Partner OVH im Gespräch über Industrie 4.0 und die Rolle der Hybrid Cloud. VMware-Redaktion: Herr Zeyer, deutsche Unternehmen setzen heute auf die intelligente Vernetzung von Produktentwicklung, Logistik und Kunden als wichtigen Wirtschaftsmotor: Industrie 4.0. Ist diese für sie ein berechtigter Hype oder doch nur eine Hybris? Jens Zeyer: Es mag zwar in der IT-Branche immer mal wieder die ein oder andere Hybris geben, aber eins ist sicher: Industrie 4.0 ist die Erfolgsstrategie für Unternehmen in der Produktion schlechthin. Sie haben heute einerseits mit so großen Herausforderungen wie Rohstoffknappheit, Konkurrenzdruck und Fachkräftemangel zu kämpfen und müssen andererseits eine Infrastruktur haben, die jederzeit wandelbar und effizient ist. Dies geht nicht ohne die intelligente Integration von Fertigung und IT. Laut einer Studie des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation können Unternehmen, die Industrie 4.0 – Programme umsetzen, mit 30% Effizienzsteigerung rechnen. In Zukunft werden Maschinen und Werkstücke zu eigenständigen Akteuren in der digitalen Welt, sogenannten Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), die untereinander Informationen austauschen und danach selbst Entscheidungen treffen. Wir stehen heute am Anfang der vierten industriellen Revolution. Auch wenn die vollständig vernetzte Fabrik morgen noch nicht überall Realität sein sollte, muss man ganz klar sagen: Wer sich heute nicht […]
