PeerGFS adds AI/ML anomaly detection to distributed file system product – ComputerWeekly.com

File management software maker Peer Software plans to launch Linux file server compatibility this summer, along with enhanced artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)-based file access anomaly detection and storage audits.

Peers PeerGFS file service allows multi-site file access and sharing with hub-spoke and peer-to-peer failover and replication between sites. The product started out nearly 30 years ago specialising in Windows DFS replication (distributed file system and DFS-R) beyond Windows storage.

It provides distributed storage for Windows servers for customers who want to use Windows file servers and third-party NAS storage. In so doing, it claims to be different to providers of similar file management software, such as Nasuni.

Nasuni uses a proprietary namespace to overlay customer files, said CEO Jimmy Tam. We still base ourselves on Windows DFS, so theres nothing in the data path to obfuscate things.

Peer also plays in a similar space as the likes of Ctera and Panzura.

PeerGFS enables a distributed file system to be created across mixed storage systems that include Windows, NetApp Data ONTAP, DellEMC Isilon/VNX/Unity, Nutanix Files, S3, and Azure Blob, with asynchronous near real-time replication across the systems. Linux server support is set to be added this summer.

PeerGFS requires deployment of its Peer management centre, which is the brain that organises input/output (I/O) traffic flows, and can be run on a physical or virtual server.

Below that, there are Peer agents which are tailored to storage platform application programming interfaces (APIs) and which log file events such as access, changes, saves, and so on. The agents forward messaging via the management centre to other PeerGFS instances.

That event flow provides the core of the functionality, with customers able to set file sharing and replication between specified folders, with additional features such as size limits on folder, pinning of files, and so on.

A so-called network of brokers sets policies on file event flows so that, for example, data is replicated between specified folders or kept within set geographies.

Key use cases are global file-sharing and collaboration, with local caching possible. Deltas are picked up from file event streams and changes replicated between locations. That provides for rapid failover between sites should a server or storage go down, with RPOs claimed to be cut to near zero, according to Tam.

There is also automated failback as Peers software brings the primary system back up when it is ready, with Tam adding that failover functionality had proved very popular in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployments.

PeerGFS will also handle file sharing wherever an instance of Windows file system is running, including instances in the AWS, Azure and Google clouds, said Tam, although he was keen to point out that many customers dont want to use the cloud for any or all their data.

Lots of customers, such as those in the military or finance, dont want to use the cloud for reasons of security, said Tam. We say that you dont have to be cloud-first you can be cloud-friendly or cloud-optional.

Beyond file management services, Peer is trying to add value with auditing and behaviour monitoring, including via AI/ML. It already has malicious event detection (MED), which includes use of bait files that do not generate file events by default, but if they do such as by ransomware crawling systems this will raise alerts.

Similarly, trap folders slow down ransomware crawling behaviour by use of recursive looping behaviour in programming. Meanwhile, patterns from known ransomware variants can be matched to event streams in file systems.

Planned additions to MED include collecting event stream data per user to develop a whitelist of expected behaviour against which anomalous activity can be identified, which could range from bad human actors to machine-generated actions.

Wed generate a pattern of what normal looks like and monitor for deviations, added Tam.

Also coming in summer will be file access audits that will report in detail on user interaction with files, as well as trend alerting and the addition of network file system (NFS) to bring Linux compatibility.

Its like building this huge, massive house, and then keeping the door unlocked. So you really need to ensure security is at the heart of the conversation, said Dagher. Security has to be the foundation of everything that [partners are] building.

Dells global channel leader said its cybersecurity push was led by channel partners.

For us, our partners have been key to providing us the feedback in terms of the solution they want to build around what we do, she said.

Dells global channel partner business climbed 27 percent in fiscal year 2022 with huge revenue growth in client systems and servers. The Round Rock, Texas-based PC and infrastructure giant generated a record-breaking sales year of $101 billion, an increase of 17 percent annually.

Michigan tribe gets $75k grant to study effects of legacy mining waste, pollution – MLive.com

An Indigenous tribe in the Upper Peninsula received a $75,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to study the impacts of legacy mining waste and other pollutants.

The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community recently got an environmental justice grant to identify historic and current environmental pollutants in the community, do an environmental risk assessment, and create public notice materials about the findings. The tribes LAnse Reservation is the oldest and largest reservation in Michigan, and the gateway to the Keweenaw Peninsula where there is a long history of copper mining and associated pollution.

KBIC President Kim Klopstein said the EPA funding will help the tribe complete a health risk assessment focused on environmental contaminants.

This study will analyze the impacts of risk values set for the general population that are not reflective of our tribal lifeways and those members who rely on the environment to hunt, fish, and gather, Klopstein said in a written statement.

Federal authorities said environmental pollution that harms water quality poses higher risks to tribal nations such as KBIC whose citizens consume significant amounts of fish, much more than the general population. Stamps sands are a well-documented pollutant in the Lake Superior watershed affecting the local tribal population.

Stamps sands are legacy mining waste, created when rocks were crushed during the historic copper mining process in the Keweenaw Peninsula. The tailings were piled along the Lake Superior shoreline in Gay, and decades of lake currents caused the stamp sands to drift down the shoreline and smother much of underwater Buffalo Reef critical fish spawning grounds for the largest of the Great Lakes.

Stamp sands are loaded with heavy metals such as mercury, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, phthalates, coal tars, nitrates, and ammonia compounds.

The LAnse and Baraga area also is home to current industrial facilities, such as a mixed-fuel power plant, and several paint and industrial manufacturing shops.

Data collected during the environmental justice study may be used to develop future guidelines or recommendations for the community, or even lead to additional research efforts.

The EPAs environmental justice small grants program is designed to fund efforts that help residents of underserved communities, including people of color, low-income, rural, tribal, Indigenous, and unhoused people.

Other organizations in Michigan that received environmental justice grants include:

5 Screen Narratives Reckoning with Technology – The Gospel Coalition

Editors note:

TGC reviews media that is not suitable for everyone. To help readers make wise viewing decisions, we recommend reading Should I Watch This? and checking out a content guide.

You can tell a lot about the anxieties of an age by the common themes that show up in its narratives. Art tends to channel cultural preoccupations. In recent years, one theme has shown up again and again in movies and television: technology. From Black Mirror to Bo Burnhams Inside, from The Social Network to The Social Dilemma, theres no shortage of thought-provoking reflections on the moral dimensions and ethical questions arising in a world where technological development often outpaces the cultivation of wisdom. Its not just limited to the science-fiction genre, either. These days, comedies, dramas, and even martial art action films (see below) are also wrestling with technology-related themes.

Theres no shortage of thought-provoking reflections on the moral dimensions and ethical questions arising in a world where technological development often outpaces the cultivation of wisdom.

Christians should be leading the charge in thinking wisely about technology. There are several new books out there to facilitate these discussions: Tony Reinkes God, Technology, and the Christian Life, Felicia Wu Songs Restless Devices, Jason Thackers The Age of AI, Chris Martins Terms of Service, my own book on wisdom in the digital age, and more. If Hollywoods recent output is any indication, our society is conflicted and uncertain about technology. Even secular artists sense the moral complexity of technologys onward march. Consider picking up one of these books to be better equipped to bring Christian wisdom to the sorts of questions being asked in pop culturelike those in the five narratives below.

Kogonadas sublime family drama is the quietest and subtlest film on this list, yet it still raises big questions about the nature of being human. The story follows a family of four, in which each member comes from a different background and the son (Yang) just so happens to be a robot. After Yang malfunctions at the end of the (highly memorable) opening dance scene, the film goes on to explore familial grief as if a human child and brother had been lost. Whats the meaning of human connection when one part of that connection isnt human? Can a nonhuman being help humans rediscover the weird wonder and texture of lifefrom butterflies to tea to Chinese fun facts? If a nonhuman like Yang can experience friendship and love, work and leisure, happiness and pain, and social membership in a family and culture, what about the human experience does it lack? The film asks more questions than it answers, which is the type of science-fiction drama I like. Watch on Showtime. Rated PG.

As its very apt title suggests, theres a ton going on in this multiverse-hopping, maximalist martial arts film starring the brilliant Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. Directed by the filmmaking duo Daniels (Swiss Army Man), EEAAO is rife with philosophical ideas and theological implications. While the films ideas are all over the map and ultimately land in a rather vacuous place (We can do whatever we want, nothing mattersbut be kind to one another anyway), its the form of the gonzo experience that rings true to life in the internet age. The film is more or less a microcosm of your average day onlinescrolling through feeds of random information, seeing context-less fragments of peoples lives, and generally feeling overwhelmed by the limitless drama unfolding at any given time, all over the world. The films three-part structure (I. Everything, II. Everywhere, III. All at Once) also captures the overwhelming chaos of perceptual life in the smartphone agewhere we literally have access to everything, everywhere, all at once. The internet has overcome the old constraints of space, time, and geographyrendering to humans the closest approximation of god-like powers (omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence) theyve yet experienced. Its no wonder the films protagonist is a nod to Eve (Evelyn). Her choice is the same one Eve faced in Eden and the same one we face any time we open Google: Do we take the bait of infinite knowledge and timeline-shifting, we can do whatever we want metaverse fantasy? Or do we rest content in our limitations, happy that we can know some things, be somewhere, and live in some time, even if we cant do it all? Now in theaters. Rated R.

Steven Soderberghs KIMI is a taut, brisk-paced thriller that essentially reworks Hitchcocks Rear Window for the age of Alexa and COVID-19. Zo Kravitz shines as a (rightly, it turns out) techno-paranoid data analyst for a tech company whose home assistant (Kimi, basically Siri or Google Home) doubles as a surveillance juggernaut. Anyone leery of Big Techs data-mining capabilities should probably avoid this film, which frighteningly plays out the implications of a world where the tech in your home (or hand) records your every movement and decision. Yet the film also ponders the potentially good implications of technology that makes sin and injustice harder to hide. Are the trade-offs worth it? If surveillance technology can expose crime and lead perpetrators to justice, are we willing to let go of our privacy? And is the truth-telling nature of objective technology really reliable when its owned by profit-motivated, often morally compromised corporations? The filma good supplement to reading Shoshana Zuboffs The Age of Surveillance Capitalismleaves us unsettled about these questions. Watch on HBO Max. Rated R.

This acclaimed new workplace drama on AppleTV+ has a fascinating premise. Mysterious corporation Lumon Industries pioneers a medical procedure called severance in which select employees can opt to sever their work and nonwork memories, such that they functionally live two lives with two perceptual realities. For severed employees, their innie (workplace self) only knows life within Lumonthey literally never get to sleep or leave, only toil (the parallel to hell is doubtless intentional). Meanwhile, their outie self has no idea what their innie does in the workplace, and most dont seem to care. The concept displays in exaggerated relief aspects of our lives we already experience: digital technology that allows us to fragment and compartmentalize multiple selves (e.g., our projected Instagram self vs. our real self, our Zoom self vs. our camera-off self); the struggle of increasingly fluid work-life boundaries (who wouldnt want a cleaner break between the two?); the temptation to escape stress and other unpleasantries, like death, if technology allows (A life at Lumon is protected from such things). The showjust renewed for a second seasonis incredibly thought-provoking on the nature of consciousness and the dangers of the dis-integrated self. We need to be thinking through these questions as Web3, the metaverse, and virtual reality grow in prominence. Watch on AppleTV+. Rated TV-MA.

Mahershala Ali shines in this 2021 sci-fi drama, which plays like a more tender episode of Black Mirror. Directed by Benjamin Cleary, the film (set in the near future) centers on an ethical dilemma posed by technology that allows a terminally ill human to secretly undergo a procedure where a clone version of themselves is created, complete with all their memories and personality, yet without the sickness. Would your loved ones know any different if one day a healthy replicant version of their husband or father was subbed in, while the old one went away to die in secret convalescence? Is sparing people trauma and grief always a worthwhile goal for technology, regardless of the cost? This seems like a key question in technological ethics. If a technology helps us avoid pain, does that automatically make it worth it? What about technology that creates a semblance of immortality, where some version of you is reproduced in perpetuity (the goal of transhumanism)? Or is humanitys beauty irrevocably tied to its contingency and potential for real loss and suffering? Swan Song helps us think through these questions in a moving, life-affirming way. Watch on AppleTV+. Rated R.

Go that extra mile to build your analytics career with this program – Analytics India Magazine

Recognised as the most demanding job of the 21st century a decade ago, a data scientist job role still continues to be an aspirational position for many. If there is one domain that most professionals (globally and in India) want to build a career in these days, it has to be analytics. As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the positions for business analysts are expected to grow at a rate of 14% over the next decade. Salary.com says that the salary range for a graduate with a masters in business analytics is $123,000 to $130,000. Other than the lucrative salary options, building a career in analytics gives you access to work on the latest cutting-edge tools and build algorithms to solve business problems.

Though there is a huge demand for analytics professionals these days in the country, getting skilled ones is still a big issue recruiters face. With the so-called training institutes that have cropped up in every part of the country, it becomes crucial to select the right program for your analytics aspirations. The master of science in business analytics program at the University of Cincinnati (UC) Online will be the right choice to go for in order to set your path in analytics. The program is ideal for working professionals who are time-bound and need the flexibility of online classes.

In the 2020-2021 cohort, the average salary of employed graduates was $91,205. In addition, the most recent graduates of this course have a 97%+ placement rate for full-time employment. As a result, full-time students can earn their degree in a year or less. The course also has a corporate and academic partnership with the Center for Business Analytics. It will provide real-world data analytics experience and career opportunities for students.

The University of Cincinnati is a name that has been globally recognised for decades for the quality education it provides. Predictive Analytics Today named UC as the No.1 MS Data Science school in the country, and Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranked it 18th globally and 7th nationally among US public universities. The University of Cincinnati and all regional campuses are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, while The Carl H. Lindner College of Business holds the prestigious AACSB accreditation. UC is ranked number one in Ohio and takes the sixth position nationally as an online college leader by TheBestSchools.org.The Department of Operations, Business Analytics and Information Systems at the University of Cincinnatis (UC) Carl H. Lindner College of Business won the George D. Smith prize awarded by INFORMS in 2019.

The program is backed by world-class faculty with wide exposure in academia and industry. Denise White is the program director for the Masters in Business Analytics course. She comes with over two decades of teaching experience and industry background too.

Full-time and part-time students with quantitative or technical backgrounds (mathematics, engineering, statistics, science, economics, etc.) interested in pursuing careers in business analytics and data science will be the perfect candidates to apply for this program.

Many of the data science courses available in abundance these days focus on superficial knowledge that doesnt translate into real-world skills needed in the competitive job market. UC online is surely different.

Here, students will get to work on real-world projects and learn the skills necessary to succeed in data visualisation, statistical modelling, data mining and machine learning, optimisation, and simulation, in order to proficiently analyse large datasets and generate actionable insights. Some of the core topics that will be taught in this course include data wrangling, data visualisation, statistical computing and modelling, data mining, big data integration and warehousing, as well as machine learning. After completion of this course, participants can take up exciting roles like data scientist, optimisation analyst, consultants, project manager, and market research analyst.

UC online will also provide student success coordinators who will provide start to graduation support to the participants of the course. The course will also provide an online boot camp before the program starts to gear you up for the course.

COLUMBIA, Mo., May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Valet Health, the leading ROI-driven digital platform for new patient acquisition, and OBERD, the leading practice intelligence software company for optimizing evidence-based patient engagement and practice performance, announced a collaboration to deliver a one-of-a-kind engagement and analytics offering for health care organizations called Amplify Patient Voice.

Amplify Patient Voice combines the functionality of the Valet Health LaunchPad product with OBERD's Patient Satisfaction and Outcomes modules.

Valet Health and OBERD launch a partnership focused on attracting patients based on evidence-based patient engagement.

Now, data from patient questionnaires will drive awareness across multiple channels through online physician and location profiles, ratings, and social media. Analysis on ROI and service line evaluation tools are included.

This is further enhanced by a unique relationship between Valet Health and WebMD Care, driving additional visibility to physicians by providing specialized procedures with a focus on outcomes data.

More than ever, patients research healthcare providers online as Pew Research indicates that 4 out of every 5 adults in the U.S. use the Internet for gathering health information while 94% of health care patients use online reviews to evaluate providers (Software Advice).

In the online consumer journey, patients see ratings, but not metrics that signal quality of care based on patient outcomes. Now, patients can be informed about functional recovery and satisfaction as it relates to specific physicians and healthcare organizations. They'll understand how similar patients have progressed through their health care experience.

Creating public awareness on patient outcomes has never been more important. Additionally, new government payment mandates require outcomes collection.

"As the digital landscape continuously changes, the forces driving new patient flow and digital channels for patient engagement are key pieces of the puzzle in helping health systems and specialty practices execute on a best-in-class digital strategy. Valet Health is truly excited for what is now possible in close collaboration with OBERD - a systematic approach to measuring and optimizing the patient journey, backed by patient-reported outcomes combined with the capability to quantify ROI... this is a significant development," states Dave Bowen, CEO of Valet Health.

"We are very excited to announce this new collaboration. This offering will deliver a new way of attracting patients with performance data, measuring their experience and analyzing the service lines they engage with. More importantly, healthcare organizations can understand ROI on their efforts," said Ali Hussam, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of OBERD.
