COBOL COBOL is the canonical example of a language that seems like it ought to be long gone, but lives on inside countless blue-chip companies. Banks, insurance companies, and similar entities rely on COBOL for much of their business logic. COBOL’s syntax dates to 1959, but there have been serious updates. COBOL-2002 delivered object-oriented extensions, and COBOL-2023 updated its handling of common database transactions.

AI is rapidly becoming the backbone of modern business, just as energy has emerged as a key enabler of economic growth. In data centers and other critical infrastructure, the acceleration of compute-hungry AI workloads creates immense power demands — straining electrical grids and impacting availability. If supply or generation capacity fails to keep pace, this rising demand may push up wholesale energy prices. In the end, an entire building environment must significantly reduce energy waste and be more energy efficient. On average, 30% of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. But…

1. Cloud cost optimization: Managing egress fees and the volume trap Leveraging hyperscale cloud GPU clusters offers unmatched power for training large models and running complex inference for non-time-critical applications. However, this approach comes with significant, often underestimated, costs, directly impacting the solution’s TCO: Data transfer costs and the volume trap: The traditional hyperscaler model hits organizations with substantial and recurring egress fees when data leaves their network. Moving massive volumes of data generated at the edge (e.g., raw 4K video feeds, high-frequency IoT sensor data) back to the cloud for processing still consumes immense bandwidth, regardless of the fee. This creates network congestion, which is a…
