Traveling in Europe

The North America Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) market has emerged as a critical segment in the infrastructure and construction industries. SHM involves the continuous or periodic monitoring of structures such as bridges, buildings, dams, and railways using sensors, data acquisition systems, and analytical software to ensure their safety, performance, and longevity. The increasing need for preventive maintenance, coupled with rapid urbanization and aging infrastructure, has positioned SHM as an indispensable solution for governments, private organizations, and construction companies across North America.

Advancements in technologies such as wireless sensor networks, fiber optics, and artificial intelligence (AI) have further accelerated the adoption of SHM systems. These innovations enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and early detection of structural deficiencies, reducing risks, minimizing maintenance costs, and improving safety standards. As infrastructure projects continue to expand across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the North America SHM market is expected to witness significant growth in the…

Beyond the Cloud: The Power of a Disk-Based Data Fabric ☁️

In an era of exponentially growing data, a traditional, siloed approach to data management can no longer keep pace. A Disk-Based Data Fabric is a modern architectural concept that provides a unified, intelligent layer to access, manage, and govern data, regardless of where it resides. By leveraging a distributed network of disk storage systems, a data fabric creates a single, logical view of an organization's data assets. This approach eliminates the need to physically move data to a central location, empowering businesses to unlock insights, automate workflows, and drive innovation without being constrained by data location, format, or complexity.

The Architecture of Fluid Data

A data fabric is not a single product but a design philosophy brought to life by a suite of technologies. At its foundation are data connectors, which act as a bridge between disparate sources—from on-premise databases and data lakes to cloud-based applications and IoT devices. The data fabric uses a metadata-driven approach to discover, catalog, and understand…
