The education and BFSI sectors in India are embracing desktop virtualization to modernize their operations and reduce costs. In the latest episode of The Edge & Beyond podcast, Michelle Dawn Mooney hosts a discussion with key figures from Intel and INP, focusing on how their partnership is reshaping computing for these sectors through the Intelligent Desktop Virtualization (IDV) initiative.

Ashish Agarwal of Intel explains the vision, stating, “IDV addresses the limitations of traditional thin clients, offering scalable and robust solutions tailored for the evolving demands of modern ICT labs and banking environments.” Manoj Dubey of INP adds, “With Intel’s technology, we’re developing cost-effective, high-performance solutions that transform the user experience, especially in remote and underserved areas.”

The episode highlights the importance of reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while leveraging AI and Intel’s 12th Gen processors to deliver immersive, multimedia-rich experiences. The guests also discuss future developments, including expanded use cases beyond education and BFSI.

Binance pauses withdrawals after a theft it puts at $6.3 billion, the largest crypto hack on record

Binance disclosed on Oct. 29 that attackers drained its hot wallets across ten or more blockchains, an impact the exchange estimates at about $6.3 billion. Withdrawals are paused while it rebuilds its withdrawal service, about $3 billion has been frozen by stablecoin issuers and others, and Binance says it will cover every loss with company funds. Three blockchain analytics firms attribute the attack to North Korea's TraderTraitor group; Binance and governments have not.

Zoom's 2030 growth target rests on customers buying more than meetings

Zoom's 2030 growth target rests on customers buying more than meetings

Zoom Communications gave its first time-bound long-range target at Zoomtopia 2026: 6% to 8% revenue growth in fiscal 2030. The target includes double-digit growth in enterprise revenue. Phone reaches only 29% of Meetings enterprise accounts today.

  • 01Zoom Phone sits in 29% of Zoom's enterprise Meetings accounts, and the fiscal 2030 growth plan reads largely as a bet on the other 71%.
  • 02Customers on three or more Zoom products had 43% lower dollar churn than customers on one or two, which Zoom cited as support for its land-and-expand strategy.
  • 03Zoom's non-current remaining performance obligations rose 25%, which Chang tied to larger, longer-term and multi-product platform agreements. For buyers weighing Phone or Contact Center, contract length is worth a close look.
