We've all heard of  Silicon Valley  - home to headline-grabbing US firms like Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter among many others - but there are several other global cities that are just as important in the worldwide electronics and IT business. We are talking about the places where electronics are actually manufactured, where tech startups are sprouting like nowhere else, and where the IT sector dominates. Silicon Valley might be where it all started, but California has plenty of competition. Let's start with the capital of computing for the Western world, which gets its name from the humble silicon chip (Semiconductor Valley doesn't sound nearly as good) despite it being increasingly a centre of startup, venture capital, product design and tech concepts rather than finished products. Although it represents one of the world's biggest ever entrepreneurial explosions, Silicon Valley has become such a generic term for the US-based tech industry that it...

MUMBAI/DELHI: Indian IT firms are beginning to rebuild part of their bench as they look to prepare for a digital wave that is seeing smaller deal sizes, making it harder to grow at the same pace and profitability during the technologies transition. For years, IT companies have been cutting down on bench to boost operational efficiency and get a margin boost. But as they need to train people for digital operations, some companies are bringing the bench back. "We will need a little bit of a bench for digital," TK Kurien, chief executive of Wipro, has said. It plans to train 10,000 on digital technologies next month. Even Tata Consultancy Services, the largest player in the Indian IT services industry, said it was raising its hiring target to 75,000 for the year, and hoped to exceed its goal of training 100,000 employees on digital technologies in FY16. "The reason for raising the hiring target for the year is to be able to have a little bit of a bench," N Chandrase...

A year after announcing ‘Smart Cities’ project, Prime Minister  Narendra Modi  has finally decided to “define” it. The Prime Minister gave a vision of a smart city, “as one which was a step or two ahead of people's aspirations.” Technology, transportation, energy efficiency, walk-to-work, cycling were some elements mentioned by Modi, during the launch of the initiative yesterday. Reuters He said smart city aspirants are being selected through a process of competition and with effective citizen participation ending the ‘top down’ approach and leading to ‘people centric’ urban development. "It will be a ground up approach." Smart cities will be selected through competition and each city will get central funding of Rs 100 crore a year for five years. There is clarity now on the selection criteria and funding part, but many – especially the IT, the infrastructure and realty sectors – were left slightly in the dark as all were looking forward to some announcement...

FOG COMPUTING Fog computing is a term created by Cisco that refers to extending cloud computing  to the edge of an enterprise's  network . Also known as Edge Computing or fogging, fog computing facilitates the operation of  compute ,  storage  and networking services between end devices and cloud computing  data centers . Cisco introduced its fog computing vision in January 2014 as a way of bringing cloud computing capabilities to the edge of the network and as a result, closer to the rapidly growing number of connected devices and applications that consume cloud services and generate increasingly massive amounts of data. By handling these services that make up the  Internet of Things  (IoT) at the network edge, data can in many cases be processed more efficiently than if it needed to be sent to the cloud for processing.

What is "the cloud"? Moving to the cloud. Running in the cloud. Stored in the cloud. Accessed from the cloud: these days is seems like everything is happening “in the cloud”. But what exactly is this nebulous concept? The short answer is that it's somewhere at the other end of your internet connection – a place where you can access apps and services, and where your data can be stored securely. The cloud is a big deal for three reasons: It doesn't need any effort on your part to maintain or manage it. It's effectively infinite in size, so you don't need to worry about it running out of capacity. You can access cloud-based applications and services from anywhere – all you need is a device with an Internet connection. That's important because there's a shift going on from office-based work to working on the move. This shift is reflected in computer hardware sales: in 2015 about 270 million desktop and laptop computers will be ...
