Living on the (IT) Edge: Schneider Electric at HPE Discover 2018

Image
We’re here at HPE Discover 2018 , proudly sponsoring the event and enjoying a jam-packed few days in Las Vegas. The data center industry has experienced tremendous disruption in the last decade. The fourth Industrial Revolution, with its IT/OT convergence, the proliferation of IoT, and insatiable demand for digital connectivity, is creating the opportunity to push the envelope of performance beyond the obvious and create new business value. And there’s no bigger opportunity right now than at the edge. At the same time, these new paradigms are also driving more complexity: companies today are trying to manage a combination of environments, from large centralized data centers on-premises or in the cloud, regional edge data centers, to local edge data centers. We have more data centers, intertwined across more locations, and with more data, than ever before. All of this adds up to promising opportunities on the horizon for our customers – but an equally daunting number of new challenges...

2018 Electrical Installation Guide Helps Electrical Engineers Adhere to IEC Standards

Image
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards are by nature extensive because they have to cover all types of equipment and technical solutions. While they must be adhered to, they are not all that helpful in terms of explaining how best to comply. Schneider Electric wants to help fill that void. Our free 2018 Electrical Installation Gu ide is intended to help electrical engineers who need to design, select, install, inspect or maintain low-voltage electrical equipment in compliance with IEC standards. Translating standards into practice The guide is intended to be a working handbook that answers the same question – “Which technical solution will guarantee that all relevant safety rules are met?” – for a variety of circumstances and applications. It’s targeted at electrical professionals working in commercial, industrial, or domestic electrical installations, including consulting engineers, specifiers, designers, contractors, panel builders, facility managers, electrical...

EFF: SEC’s Action Against Decentralized Exchange Raises Constitutional Questions

SEC’s Action Against Decentralized Exchange Raises Constitutional Questions A recent public statement from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission implied that those engaged in writing and publishing code might need to worry about running afoul of securities laws. In its statement about the cease and desist order against the co-founder of decentralized cryptocurrency exchange EtherDelta, the SEC indicated that someone who simply “provides an algorithm” might be found to be running a securities exchange.  In the order itself, the SEC stated that EtherDelta’s creator had violated securities laws because he “wrote and deployed” code that he “should have known” would contribute to EtherDelta’s alleged violations. EFF today sent a public letter reminding the agency that writing and publishing code is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment, and that the courts don’t take kindly to government agencies requiring people to obtain licenses before exercising their free...
