Edge computing is getting “edgier.” The technology, which allows compute and processing resources to be moved closer to where data is being analyzed, is moving farther and farther away from on-premises data centers—and it’s moving fast. At the moment, about 10% of enterprise data is created and processed outside centralized data centers or clouds, according to Gartner.

“Sharpen the saw!” Back in the day, when everyone was reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, that was Habit #7. It came from a joke about a lumberjack who was using a dull saw to cut logs and couldn’t stop to sharpen it because he was too busy sawing. The advice was clear: Stop cutting and take time to sharpen your saw to be more effective.

Sprinkler systems are exceptionally reliable, such that the chance of dying in a fire is reduced by one-half to three-fourths when sprinklers are installed in a building. Statistics also show that property damage is reduced by half to two-thirds when sprinklers are present. All of this is true, of course, only if the system has been designed, installed, and maintained properly.
