Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-nomad-web-best-practices-and-managing-multiuser-environments/
HCL Nomad Web is heralded as the next generation of the HCL Notes client, offering numerous advantages such as eliminating the need for packaging, distribution, and installation. Nomad Web client upgrades will be installed “automatically” in the background. This significantly reduces the administrative footprint compared to traditional HCL Notes clients. However, troubleshooting issues in Nomad Web present unique challenges compared to the Notes client.
Join Christoph and Marc as they demonstrate how to simplify the troubleshooting process in HCL Nomad Web, ensuring a smoother and more efficient user experience.
In this webinar, we will explore effective strategies for diagnosing and resolving common problems in HCL Nomad Web, including
- Accessing the console
- Locating and interpreting log files
- Accessing the data folder within the browser’s cache (using OPFS)
- Understand the difference between single- and multi-user scenarios
- Utilizing Client Clocking
Book industry standards are evolving rapidly. In the first part of this session, we’ll share an overview of key developments from 2024 and the early months of 2025.

3. The course has some prerequisites:
The participant should have some basic skill sets
like loading an OS, booting a system from CD,
Network Configuration, Thumb Drive etc.,
Users should be conversant with Protocols like
TCP,CIFS, NFS etc.,
All the modules mentioned above can be learnt
independently but the Virtualization of processing
power should be learnt first.
A basic understanding of Networks, Internet
Connectivity etc is essential.

5. 5What is MAINFRAME Technology?
A mainframe computer is a very large computer capable of
handling and processing very large amounts of data quickly.
They are used by large institutions, such as government
agencies and large corporations.
6. 6
What is Enterprise client-server?
Enterprise computing is the name given to distributed
computing as practiced in medium-sized or large organizations
where the need to share data between physically-distributed
sites is the primary motivator for the creation of a distributed
system.
In some ways, mainframes are more powerful than
supercomputers because they support more
simultaneous programs.
7. 7
What is Cloud Technology?
Cloud is a broad term and cannot be easily expanded in one
single line. Cloud can be IaaS, PaaS, AaaS and again there
are many internal small things that have to be understood to
have a clear grip on the massively disruptive technology.

13. 13What is Virtualization ?
In computing, virtualization refers to the act of creating
a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including
(but not limited to) a virtual computer
hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device,
or computer network resources.

23. 233. Virtualization of Networking (aka SDN - Software Defined
Networking)
Software-defined networking (SDN) is an approach to
computer networking that allows network administrators to
manage network services through abstraction of lower-level
functionality. This is done by decoupling the system that
makes decisions about where traffic is sent (the control
plane) from the underlying systems that forward traffic to the
selected destination (the data plane). The inventors and
vendors of these systems claim that this simplifies
networking.[1]
SDN requires some method for the control plane to
communicate with the data plane.
SoftwareDefinedNetworking
24. 24
Control Plane: A major function of the control plane is deciding
which routes go into the main routing table
Data Plane: In routing, the forwarding plane, sometimes called
the data plane, defines the part of the router architecture that
decides what to do with packets arriving on an inbound
interface.
SoftwareDefinedNetworking
26. 26The Three Key Elements of SDN:
Ability to manage the forwarding of frames/packets and
apply policy;
Ability to perform this at scale in a dynamic fashion;
Ability to be programmed.
SoftwareDefinedNetworking
28. 284. Identity Access Management:
Identity management (IdM) is the task of controlling
information about users on computers. Such information
includes information that authenticates the identity of a user,
and information that describes information and actions they
are authorized to access and/or perform. It also includes the
management of descriptive information about the user and
how and by whom that information can be accessed and
modified. Managed entities typically include users, hardware
and network resources and even applications.
In computing, identity management (IdM) describes the
management of individual principals, their authentication,
authorization, and privileges within or across system and
enterprise boundaries with the goal of increasing security and
productivity while decreasing cost, downtime and repetitive
tasks.
IdentityAccessManagement
31. 31Imaging Service:
Imaging Service is a generic term and is being used almost
everyday by the Administrators even general users also.
Whenever we are using a bootable CD, we are using an
Imaging Service. ISO image is a classic example of Imaging
Service.
Every Commercial or non commercial entities are providing
proprietary formats as far as Imaging Service is concerned:
A multi-format image registry, the image service allows uploads
of private and public images in a variety of formats, including:
1.Raw
2.Machine (kernel/ramdisk outside of image, a.k.a. AMI)
3.VHD (Hyper-V)
4.VDI (VirtualBox)
5.qcow2 (Qemu/KVM)
6.VMDK (VMWare)
7.OVF (VMWare, others)
ImagingService

After Using Virtualization you can give the following
•Software as a Service (SaaS)
•Platform as a Service (PaaS)
•Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
•IT as a Service
•Storage-as-a-service
•Database-as-a-service (DaaS)
•Information-as-a-service
