Daly International – Backup Case Study
Daly International, a professional services business holding large volumes of plans, photos, and documents, engages Datek to redesign its outdated and strained backup strategy. After conducting a requirements workshop with IT Manager Steve Rance, Datek recommends and implements Veeam Backup and Replication, delivering full daily virtual system backups, remote replication, tape backups, and rapid recovery capabilities. Implementation takes place onsite alongside Rance to ensure full knowledge transfer. Post-implementation testing confirms entire virtual machines can be restored in under five minutes and individual email items recovered within minutes, giving Daly International complete confidence in its new backup infrastructure.
Google DeepMind Solves Unsolvable Math Problem With AI
Google DeepMind has developed FunSearch, a large language model designed to generate provably correct solutions to complex mathematical problems rather than plausible but inaccurate ones. Using a self-checking mechanism that scores and refines outputs, FunSearch produced a previously unknown solution to the cap set problem and found a more efficient algorithm for the bin packing problem. The system runs a version of Google’s PaLM 2 model and generates computer code rather than raw mathematical outputs, making results easier to verify. The breakthrough points to a new role for LLMs in advancing formal mathematical research.
