For the tech industry, finding solutions is a daily priority. So, the discovery of new and improved solutions is always a constant goal for the advancement of this.

In a new episode of “To the Edge and Beyond,” host Michelle Dawn Mooney interviewed Intel Product Engineer Sean Williams, and IOTech CTO Jim White, to discuss how the two companies collaborate on IoT and edge computing software solutions with industry end customers.

In the last several years much has changed in tech and a lot of that change has been bolstered by companies starting to take more initiative.

According to White, less focus on doing trials, and rather applying them is driving better outcomes. “We’re really seeing IOT and Edge emerge as technologies and companies are no longer playing and experimenting with, they’re now putting solutions in the field. So, playtime’s over — they’re having to put things out there that are actually scalable, working, getting real results with their money,” said White.

Finding better solutions with a platform that can offer a multitude of answers is the basis of EdgeX. Williams said it’s similar to an all-in-one but more so a, “… Common platform, a common solution that can solve, if not all, or some of their use cases or a majority of them,” said Williams.

He added that companies tend to have separate solutions for specific problems, but these answers are not exactly foolproof either. “Particularly, we can find some companies will have five different solutions, some five different use cases, but neither one of those solutions can talk to each other or share data and that’s kind of where EdgeX comes in at. It’s a … platform. It allows you to talk to heterogeneous devices that can then solve different types of use cases.”

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

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.

  • 01Binance estimates the impact at about $6.3 billion; TRM Labs counts $6.36 billion and Elliptic $6.43 billion at time-of-theft prices.
  • 02Most of the funds left in about 20 minutes from 20:05 UTC on Oct. 29, with a second wave around 23:00 UTC, according to TRM Labs and Elliptic.
  • 03Withdrawals have been paused since about 22:15 UTC; Binance expects to restore them within 45 to 48 hours and has set aside more than $6.34 billion to cover losses.

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.
