For midsize companies, speed is everything. New opportunities in the digital economy are emerging all the time, and midsize companies must constantly battle against not just their established competitors, but also smaller upstart firms with disruptive new ideas and the large established entities that have an abundance of resources to crush competitors standing in their way.

Ittough being in the middle of the mix,which is why many companies are considering offloading responsibility for a particularly complex part of their business—IT infrastructure—to pay-as-you-go service providers.

&Midsized businesses have limited IT resources, and they are suffering from IT efficiency deficit,& says Anurag Agrawal, founder and chief global analyst at Techaisle, an SMB midmarket and channel IT research firm. &Our recent studies show that a midsized business has an average of 12.7 IT staffers, which is 1/20th of what you find in an enterprise. Eighty-three percent of midsized firms expect IT staff to deliver more with less, but in 79 percent of cases, they&re already overloaded with time-consuming support and maintenance tickets.&

Apple may place much of its focus on Apple Arcade and consumer-friendly iPad/iPhone features, but there are numerous enterprise-focused enhancements wrapped up inside iOS 13.

The BYOD enterprise

The companylatest operating systems introduce a host of productivity-enhancing upgrades, particularly for the iPad.

Yet the biggest improvements specifically for enterprise users aim to make a more robust division between personal and enterprise data for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) deployments, solving one of the big challenges in the space.

Continuing its evolution in the intelligent, adaptable data center market, Intel just announced its latest series of Stratix 10 FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), which incorporate a number of new features and capabilities, have begun shipping in limited quantities to key partners. Intelnew Stratix 10 DX series of FPGAs bring with them support for the companyUPI, or Ultra Path Interconnect, in addition to PCI Express 4.0 and Optane DC Persistent memory technology.

As data center workloads become more diverse and complex, the use of flexible, programmable FPGA-based accelerators to complement traditional CPUs, GPUs, and ASICs is becoming increasingly more common. Due to the fact that FPGAs can be programmed and tuned on-the-fly for specific algorithms and workloads that may not be well-suited to CPUs or GPUs, their use in burgeoning fields like machine learning and big data analytics is exploding. In addition to accelerating specific workloads, because FPGAs help offload tasks from other compute engines in a system, they also free those engines to perform other operations, and ultimately increase efficiency and compute density.
