Nokia has purchased US IP network analytics specialist Deepfield, in order to help its clients gain more control over their network performance, efficiency and security.

Deepfield specialises in providing cloud, application and IP network insight in real time|, and its tech is used by SDN (software defined network) controllers to make automated changes to networks, so they can rapidly adapt to changes in application demand, flow and traffic patterns.

The Emerging Race for the Industrial Internet

This is an interesting overview of what is happening in the race between General Electric and Siemens to build the Industrial Internet. GE is attempting to build a broad, generic platform into which all industrial players can plug their solutions. If it works, this juggernaut will become a -- I don't know, what's bigger than a juggernaut? Uberjuggernaut? Juggerubernaut?

Lots of interesting parts to this, but I'm culling this as the most intriguing bit:

That technology allows manufacturers to create what David Gelernter, a pioneering computer scientist at Yale University, over two decades ago imagined as “mirror worlds”. GE wants to build a similar, “virtual twin” of every category of physical asset it sells, from locomotives to wind farms. This would allow engineers to test products before they are built and also let them feed the virtual model with real-world data to improve performance. “A digital twin is not just a generic model but based on the exact conditions in the real world,” explains Ganesh Bell, chief digital officer at GE Power.

Imagine our industrial systems having a virtual ecosystem operating like an integrated new dimension of reality. In-synch with the physical layer, this new virtual layer would be much more flexible. It would model and simulate optimizations on a scale simply infeasible for the physical infrastructure itself. Out of this will come phenomenal efficiencies unlike anything we have seen heretofore.

This reminds me of Brian Arthur's vision for The Second Economy:

Cryogenic storage offers hope for renewable energy - The cryogenic energy facility stores power from renewables or off-peak generation by chilling air into liquid form.When the liquid air warms up it expands and can drive a turbine to make electricity.

It would be nice to be able to charge the EV AUTO in 2 minutes. It would make EVs use like an petrol auto.
