Predictive Analytics: Beyond the Predictions
Predictive analytics are applied in the process of determining business events that are likely to occur and actionable. The probability threshold of "likely" differs from company to company and risk factor to risk factor.

Companies that are more risk tolerant, unaware or distracted by other projects will be less poised to take action.
Huawei sees 5G's emergence by 2020
Since LTE, along with its next generation LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) and LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), had only just started gaining traction, and will start to be more popular in 2014, the natural progression would be for 5G to be rolled out in 2020, he explained, speaking to ZDNet Asia at an interview here on Thursday. Mobile broadband technologies have always been introduced before widespread rollout of the network itself, and 5G will be no exception, Zhou observed.

There will always be "another big thing," he said, and Intel must be constantly "scanning" for it.
Most enterprise networks riddled with vulnerable Java installations
The most widely deployed Java version, according to Bit9's data, was Java 6 Update 20, which was installed on a little over 9 percent of endpoints.

Meru: 802.11ac specification support on single-channel architecture
Meru's single-channel, MobileFlex architecture allows adjacent access points to share the same channel, whereas most other wireless LAN vendors rely on channel segmentation from one access point to another to avoid interference. The single-channel capabilities of Meru's new 802.11ac-enabled access point -- the AP832 -- eliminates the danger of channel overlap that exists in segmented networks, allowing Meru customers to use the full 80 MHz channels.
Dell's future gets messier: Shareholders expected to vote against buyout?

Outsourcing, adieu: Companies retake the reins on IT services
