| A Tour of Data Platforms as a Service |
 |
|
|
 |
|

With the proliferation of both SQL and NoSQL databases, organizations can now target specific fit-for-purpose database tools for their different application needs regarding scalability, ease of use, ACID support, etc. Platform as a Service offerings make this even easier now, enabling developers to roll out their own database infrastructure in minutes with minimal management overhead. However, this same amount of flexibility also comes with the challenges of picking the right tool, on the right provider and with the proper expectations.
In this session we'll compare the NoSQL and SQL offerings from AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, their similarities, differences and use cases for each one based on our own client projects.

|
|
|
Amazon has gradually rolled out parts of its IoT offerings, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to optimizing their back-end AWS offerings, Amazon is laying the ground work to be a major force in IoT - especially in the connected home and office.
This session will explain how Amazon is extending its reach to become a major force in IoT by building on its dominant cloud IoT platform, its Dash Button strategy, Replenishment Services, the Echo/Alexa voice recognition control platform, strategic investments of its Alexa Venture Fund, strategic partnerships with 30+ major consumer package goods companies and the 50-60 million current Prime customers.
If you are developing products, services or platforms for IoT, you don’t want to miss this session. Amazon does not just want to dominate the back-end cloud storage, compute and analysis capabilities for IoT data. This is not an incremental, small potatoes effort. It will use its usual low-cost, market-share grabbing approach to stake out a large chunk of the IoT market, especially in the Connected Home and office. This will have significant impacts on Google, Apple, ATT, Comcast and other major and minor IoT players.

As the world moves towards more DevOps and Microservices, application deployment to the cloud ought to become a lot simpler. The Microservices architecture, which is the basis of many new age distributed systems such as OpenStack and NetFlix, is at the heart of Cloud Foundry - a complete developer-oriented Platform as a Service (PaaS) that is IaaS agnostic and supports vCloud, OpenStack and AWS.
We will discuss the Microservices architecture, 12-factor app, containers, etc., and how to architect applications for the cloud in general and Cloud Foundry in particular. We will harness the power of dependency injection that Spring provides to pick a variety of data sources and services.
Attend this demo-oriented session in which we will cover the basics of Cloud Foundry and walk through an application that was previously hosted outside the cloud and how to stand it up in a cloud with some minimal [mostly] configuration changes using Spring Cloud and other related projects. We will cover many of the Non Functional Requirements(NFR), which is typically in the domain of the architect such as scaling, security and HA and how applications can leverage Bluemix for these.
After attending this session attendees will be able to walk away with a better understanding of Cloud Foundry in general, and Bluemix in particular and how the ecosystem enables deploying applications to the cloud a lot easier. Attendees will also be able to understand how to enable logging, remote debugging, monitoring and so on by turning a few knobs in the platform.

In today’s uber-connected, consumer-centric, cloud-enabled, insights-driven, multi-device, glocal world, the focus of solutions has shifted from the product that is sold to the person who is buying the product or service. Enterprises have rebranded their business around the consumers of their products. The buyer is the person and the focus is not on the offering. The person is connected through multiple devices, wearables, at home, on the road, and in multiple locations, sometimes simultaneously. Products have rebranded from content management, asset management, CRM, social media, analytics … to Experience Management for the Consumer. However, the key to success in this IoT enabled world is to treat the buyer as a person and not as a consumer or customer. This means we have to offer the person an immersive experience through their lifecycle every day, at every hour, and everywhere.
In his session at the International Cloud Expo, Ajit Sagar, Associate VP, Digital at Infosys Limited, will focus on the application the evolving technology landscape to engage the persona, not the customer. He will cover shifting trends in personalization, the products that enable applications for the person, and the digital transformation that organizations are undergoing to catch up with connected and highly demanding users of their services

Big Data has grown tremendously in the past few years. Interestingly, the concept of Big Data is dated back to what was characterized as 3Vs about 15 years ago, way before NoSQL, MapReduce, Hadoop, Storm or Spark ever started life. Obviously this kind of 3Vs definition makes less and less sense in the new era. In fact, more tools and product have matured to process large data sets, which makes bigness no longer a pressing problem. The paradigm has shifted to focus on other top issues about data. This presentation examines the trends for the core concerns in today’s environment: Smart, Thing, Actionable, and Relevant (STAR) Data. We will analyze the description and rationale of STAR Data, along with real-life use cases and examples. Best practices and lessons learned will be addressed during the session.

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Building actually breathes - immediately flagging overheating in a closet or over cooling in unoccupied hotel rooms.
In this session, Dan Levine, co-Founder and CEO of CytexOne, will explain how IoT can underpin sustainable solutions for energy efficient building environments and, in the years to come, how it will become a standard that tenants, occupants and Smart Building management can come to trust and rely on as a foundation of their green IT strategies. He will cite specific examples from premier hotels and large office complexes.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of (at least) three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the back-end service, and the mobile application for the end user’s controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target – this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software updates for IoT more problematic. How do you coordinate the diverse moving parts that must come together when developing your IoT product or updating each of its components?
In this session Anders Wallgren will deep dive into some of the challenges and share tips and best practices used by IoT developers to streamline and accelerate their product design, development, test and manufacturing.

Many banks and financial institutions are experimenting with containers in development environments, but when will they move into production? Containers are seen as the key to achieving the ultimate in information technology flexibility and agility. Containers work on both public and private clouds, and make it easy to build and deploy applications.
The challenge for regulated industries is the cost and complexity of container security compliance. VM security compliance is already challenging, and containers increase the problem exponentially. Simplifying and automating security compliance will be critical to achieving the high ROI expected from containers.
In this session, we will provide an overview of the best practices for deploying and securing containers in production environments for financial services and other regulated industries. This session will cover:
- Container Operational Issues and Best Practices
- Comparison of VM and Container Security Threats
- Strategies for Minimizing Container Attack Surfaces

| Cutting Through The Fog of the Internet of Things |
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is an ever-growing explosion of new devices that are connected to the Internet using “cloud” solutions. This rapid growth is creating a massive new demand for efficient access to data. And it’s not just about connecting to that data anymore.
This new demand is bringing new issues and challenges and it is important for companies to scale for the coming growth. And with that scaling comes the need for greater security, gathering and data analysis, storage, connectivity and, of course, the need to find a platform (solution) that is capable of quickly and easily managing all of these complex necessities.
There are answers to this important and growing opportunity and there are ways for savvy businesses to “cut through the IoT fog.” With a an Application Enablement Platform that is capable of receiving data at “high availability,” connectivity and processes that are always active, and an alerting process that is real-time, companies can reap significant benefits.
The bottom line is that sensors and devices are becoming smarter, gateways are essential for filtering, Application Enablement Platforms are important and available, but protocols and standards are still needed.
Attendees will learn:
- A greater understanding of IoT and how to navigate
- What an effective solution looks like
- How to select and work with the right solution provider
- The fastest path to success and ROI

Keeping pace with advancements in software delivery processes and tooling is taxing even for the most proficient organizations. Point tools, platforms, open source and the increasing adoption of private and public cloud services requires strong engineering rigor – all in face of developer demands to use the tools of choice. As Agile has settled in as a mainstream practice, now DevOps has emerged as the next wave to improve software delivery speed and output. To make DevOps work, organizations must focus on what is most relevant to deliver value, reduce IT complexity, create more repeatable agile-based processes and leverage increasingly secure and stable, cloud-based infrastructure platforms.
This session will outline strategies for unifying a continuously changing, fragmented and disparate set of technologies and processes within common community architecture. Attendees will learn how building a unified DevOps architecture that provides contextual oversight of tools and platforms can help organizations better align Agile and DevOps processes to IT infrastructure, and the need to continuously refine and improve the overall software delivery life cycle.

Cloud computing is unquestionably one of the driving forces of DevOps, as the automation of operations transforms enterprise software development. DevOps, however, is more than a technology trend, as it represents a move toward silo-busting, self-organizing horizontal teams that drive business velocity.
At the same time, enterprise Digital Transformation represents an upheaval across the enterprise, as customer preferences and behavior drive enterprise technology decisions. This transformation extends well beyond technology, however, as companies must rethink their organizational structure, moving toward silo-busting, self-organizing horizontal teams...sound familiar?
DevOps, Digital, Cloud - three separate transformative trends, or one mega-trend? Or perhaps nothing more than enough buzzwords to win at buzzword bingo?
The big picture here isn't simply a shift in the way companies produce software, a rework of the customer experience, or automated outsourced infrastructure. It's an end-to-end change in the way enterprises work, as they transform into software-driven organizations.
Attendees of this session will:
- Understand how cloud computing underlies and connects the notions of Digital and DevOps
- Peel away the buzzwords and understand the common business context for the "Digital revolution" and the "DevOps revolution"
- Learn new ways to bring disparate conversations together into a single, unified discussion of business transformation

The cloud era has reached the stage where it is no longer a question of whether a company should migrate, but when. Enterprises have embraced the outsourcing of where their various applications are stored and who manages them, saving significant investment along the way. Plus, the cloud has become a defining competitive edge. Companies who fail to successfully adapt risk failure.
The media, of course, continues to extol the virtues of the cloud, including how easy it is to get there. Migrating to the cloud is a simple affair – just call up a cloud provider and your wishes come true! The reality is quite different, however, as enterprises struggle with a wide variety of migration issues, from security to overtaxed IT teams and everything in-between.
This session will examine the cloud migration issues facing today’s enterprise - and how Hanu Software empowers companies to adopt an infrastructure based on Microsoft Azure, a Tier 1 cloud provider, in the simplest and most seamless ways possible.

Track:
Mobility & Security

Unless your company can spend a lot of money on new technology, re-engineering your environment and hiring a comprehensive cybersecurity team, you will most likely move to the cloud or seek external service partnerships.
Join cybersecurity expert, Darren Guccione, as he reveals what you need to know when it comes to encryption in the cloud. Topics will include:
- Choosing secure cloud vendors - third-party penetration testing, security audits and certifications. Depending on your business requirements, you may need to verify that your cloud vendor is certified to handle your data properly. If you process or store credit cards, PCI-DSS is a necessity. Additionally, depending on your security needs, a certification for a Cyber Security Framework (such as ISO 27001 or NIST Framework) may also be necessary. If you are an organization that is certified under SOC / SSAE16, you will also likely need to review the cloud vendor’s SOC report.
- Where is the encryption key stored and why is it important? Does your cloud provider have the ability to decrypt your encrypted data? If so, then your data could be compromised if the cloud provider is hacked and the encryption keys are compromised. Even if your data is “encrypted” in the cloud does not necessarily mean that it is secure, depending on where the keys are stored.
- Zero-knowledge architecture - A zero-knowledge security architecture ensures that your encryption keys are never available to the cloud vendor. This means that even if the cloud provider is hacked, or otherwise compromised, that your encrypted data stored in the cloud remains secure. The encryption keys are only available to the client, and thus access to the unencrypted data is restricted to the client.
- The fine print - User agreements.

| Expanding WebRTC Capabilities Beyond the Typical Use Cases |
|
|
|
|
|
|
For basic one-to-one voice or video calling solutions, WebRTC has proven to be a very powerful technology. Although WebRTC’s core functionality is to provide secure, real-time p2p media streaming, leveraging native platform features and server-side components brings up new communication capabilities for web and native mobile applications allowing for advanced multi-user use cases such as video broadcasting, conferencing, media recording and others.
This presentation will discuss how to utilize a flexible mobile-optimized session and signaling architecture to support p2p mesh, router (SFU) and mixer (MCU) strategies for connecting media streams. In addition, we will look at example APIs and integrations for new WebRTC use cases such as team collaboration, virtual classrooms, broadcasting, archiving and security.

CIOs and those charged with running IT Operations are challenged to deliver secure, audited, and reliable compute environments for the applications and data for the business. Behind the scenes these tasks are often accomplished by following onerous time-consuming processes and often the management of these environments and processes will be outsourced to multiple IT service providers. In addition, the division of work is often siloed into traditional "towers" that are not well integrated for cross-functional purposes. So, when traditional IT Service Management (ITSM) meets the cloud, and equally, DevOps, the is invariably going to be conflict.
IT/ESM needs a reboot. As a factor of IT Transformation and Digital Transformation, IT no longer stands alone—or at least in a modern workplace it should not stand alone—it is the hub through which all other business services will see their efforts delivered. Marketing requires large-scale data analytics and webscale support for customer and partner access. Finance needs 360 degree views of how money is flowing through the business inclusive of unintended consequential impacts.
The next incarnation of ESM is DevOps. It is all about leveraging a common set of tools and practices to deliver continuous delivery focused on operations management. This includes all aspects of managing, communications, automation, reporting, and monitoring. It's all about operating IT in an era where everything is software and programmable.
This session will explore the impact of the API economy, Service Integration & Management, and a growing software-defined infrastructure on the next generation of IT operations and how to prepare for the forthcoming changes.

Creating replica copies to tolerate a certain number of failures is easy, but, very expensive at cloud-scale. Conventional RAID has lower overhead, but it is limited in the number of failures it can tolerate. And the management is like herding cats (overseeing capacity, rebuilds, migrations, and degraded performance). A new approach is necessary, one that supports the attributes of the cloud with the millions of applications and users depending on it for their business and personal lives. Object storage is the millennial approach to cloud-based data storage, archival, retrieval and cost. Why? Because it delivers significantly higher data reliability and allows virtually unlimited expansion for storage. Perfect for a hash-tagging, selfie-taking, always communicating and collaborating in an on-demand world.

What a difference a year makes. Organizations aren’t just talking about IoT possibilities, it is now baked into their core business strategy. With IoT, billions of devices generating data from different companies on different networks around the globe need to interact. From efficiency to better customer insights to completely new business models, IoT will turn traditional business models upside down. In the new customer-centric age, the key to success is delivering critical services and apps with a consistent quality of experience irrespective of device, app or network. Open platforms are enabling the creation of game-changing apps that fundamentally transform a company’s approach for unleashing new value from core assets and data.
As software and sensors running on everything from industrial machinery to smart city services continue to advance, we’re entering an era where agents (services) can control the actions of interconnected intelligent things. As a result, the relationships between devices, device manufacturers and their owners, applications and service providers will become increasingly more complex. Physical access and one-off contracts will be replaced by software that can support the frequent negotiations for access to things and the data they generate. Not only that, but it will happen in an agile and scalable way where all parties involved in the transaction are appropriately compensated.

As enterprises around the world struggle with their digital transformation efforts, many are finding that innovative digital teams are moving much faster than their hidebound IT organizations. Rather than struggling to convince traditional IT to get with the digital program, executives are taking advice from IT research firm Gartner, and encouraging existing IT to continue in their desultory ways.
However, many CIOs are realizing the dangers of following Gartner’s advice. The central challenge with bimodal IT is that it encourages IT management to shift their transformation efforts away from 'slow' IT to 'fast' digital efforts.
As cloud computing becomes a standard part of the IT repertoire, however, the bimodal divide begins to break down. True, 'fast' IT takes the cloud for granted, but even 'slow' IT finds substantial value in the cloud as well.
The result: enterprise cloud efforts become the common platform and frame of reference for all speeds of IT, breaking down the bimodal pattern that is so dangerous for organizations as they become increasingly digital.
Attendees of this session will:
- Gain an understanding of the bimodal pattern in today's enterprises and why Gartner's advice is so dangerous
- Learn how the cloud impacts both 'fast' digital efforts as well as 'slow' IT organizations
- Understand how the cloud can help 'slow' IT to transform, thus enabling the enterprise to achieve its end-to-end digital goals

Analytics for us, is not isolated silos of reporting, dashboards, predictive and big-data analytics, but, a series of rich models that emerge when we combine all data within the enterprise.
With our enterprise data currently at 3 Petabyte, and growing at over 2 Petabyte every year, there is an urgency to manage data volume from diverse sources, and to efficiently mine rich, timely insights from it. A data-lake architecture for transactional, operational, and reference data, built on a cloud-hosted platform, was our solution for our needs, but it also came with their own challenges
This talk focuses on how we built and operationalized an enterprise-grade integrated analytics platform on a cloud-based data lake, using Hadoop, Spark, Hive, Parquet and Storm.while also leveraging out of box functionality from AWS, such as Kinesis, Redshift and EMR. A platform serving all enterprise needs, from reporting/BI/dashboards, customer hub, to predictive modeling. We will also discuss challenges building a production system at scale, including design choices for ingestion, integration with enterprise data, PII encryption, APIs, data governance, access control and visualization by business users.

| Lunch Power Panel | DevOps Patterns and Anti-Patterns: How to Do the Right Things in the Real World |
|
|
|

In the world of DevOps there are ‘known good practices’ – aka ‘patterns’ – and ‘known bad practices’ – aka ‘anti-patterns.' Many of these patterns and anti-patterns have been developed from real world experience, especially by the early adopters of DevOps theory; but many are more feasible in theory than in practice, especially for more recent entrants to the DevOps scene.
This panel session will discuss the patterns and anti-patterns of DevOps, and what it means to ‘do the right thing’ in a DevOps way, but in the real world. In particular, panelists will share their ideas about at how these patterns/anti-patterns intersect with real world challenges, such as crystallized systems, regulated industries, distributed workforces, existing ‘best practices’, cultural change, organizational structures, and more. Other topics will include:
- DevOps Theory vs. Practice
- What are some anti-patterns
- What are some patterns
- Culture vs. Process
- Starting with Technology
- DevOps – a team? A role? Neither? Both?
- What is possible, what is not?
- ITIL/ITSM and DevOps

Enterprise networks are complex. Moreover, they were designed and deployed to meet a specific set of business requirements at a specific point in time. But, the adoption of cloud services, new business applications and intensifying security policies, among other factors, require IT organizations to continuously deploy configuration changes. Therefore, enterprises are looking for better ways to automate the management of their networks while still leveraging existing capabilities, optimizing performance and reducing operational risk through standardization and best-practice architectures.
Software-defined networking (SDN) promises to provide network configuration management via software to make a network more agile and adaptable. With SDN, network configurations can be managed centrally, and devices can be reprogrammed as needed on the fly, optimizing hardware infrastructure and minimizing operational spending.
This session will discuss extending SDN from data centers to the WAN. Attendees will learn:
- How to leverage Internet broadband and cellular as cost-effective alternatives to private circuits on a global scale, while simplifying overall network architecture
- The three common approaches to SD-WAN and the specific advantages and disadvantages of each
- Why network-aware orchestration is needed for SD-WAN deployments

Up until last year, enterprises that were looking into cloud services usually undertook a long-term pilot with one of the large cloud providers, running test and dev workloads in the cloud. With cloud’s transition to mainstream adoption in 2015, and with enterprises migrating more and more workloads into the cloud and in between public and private environments, the single-provider approach must be revisited.
Join us for this thought provoking session, in which we will examine the risks of sourcing IT resources from a single cloud service vendor, as well as the benefits to be reaped by adopting multi-cloud strategies.
Main takeaways:
- Lock-in, pace of innovation, pricing fluctuations, and other limiting factors in the single-provider approach
- The benefits in diversifying the cloud portfolio: business, operations and finance
It’s not about one cloud or the other: it’s about deploying the optimal mix of clouds for your enterprise’s workloads and applications.

There are several IoTs: the Industrial Internet, Consumer Wearables, Wearables and Healthcare, Supply Chains, and the movement toward Smart Grids, Cities, Regions, and Nations. There are competing communications standards every step of the way, a bewildering array of sensors and devices, and an entire world of competing data analytics platforms. To some this appears to be chaos, but this panel views the vast toolbox of options being offered and how individual IoT project managers benefit from the choice of tools being offered to them.

How will your company move to the cloud while ensuring a solid security posture? Organizations from small to large are increasingly adopting cloud solutions to deliver essential business services at a much lower cost. According to cyber security experts, the frequency and severity of cyber attacks are on the rise, causing alarm to businesses and customers across a variety of industries. To defend against exploits like these, a company must adopt a comprehensive security defense strategy that is designed for their business. In 2015, organizations such as United Airlines, Sony Corp, Anthem and the Office of Personnel Management experienced data breaches through malware and other targeted attacks.
Join Alert Logic's Chief Evangelist, Stephen Coty, as he takes you into the evolving world of cybercrime and gives you an insider's look into the tactics utilized by fast, well-funded and organized attackers. He will review real examples and case studies of recent breaches, and you will learn expert strategies for protecting your information in the cloud.

In this session John Newton will describe how to scale cloud-based content management repositories to store, manage, and retrieve billions of documents and related information with fast and linear scalability. Using new techniques of information modeling, indexing, and processing, new cloud-based systems can support cloud-based workloads previously not possible for high-throughput insurance, banking, and case-based applications.
The session will address the challenges of scaling document repositories to this level; architectural approaches for coordinating data; search and storage technologies, Solr, and Amazon storage and database technologies; the breadth of use cases that modern content systems need to support; how to support user applications that require subsecond response times.

The paradigm has shifted. A Gartner survey shows that 43% of organizations are using or plan to implement the Internet of Things in 2016. However, not just a handful of companies are still using the old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways, unaware of the critical barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can you become a winner?
This talk presents a methodical approach to guide the holistic adoption and enablement of IoT implementations. This overarching model is an adaptive framework to systematically handle the rapid changes and exponential growth, composed of the following modules: Prototype, Extend, Assess, Strategize, Formulate, Accelerate, Initiate, and Revamp (PEAS FAIR). We will zoom in to individual components in each module. Working examples will be discussed to illustrate the practical use of this method in the real world, along with best practices and lessons learned to help organizations IoTize step by step.

Predictive analytics tools monitor, report, and troubleshoot in order to make proactive decisions about the health, performance, and utilization of storage. Most enterprises combine cloud and on-premise storage, resulting in blended environments of physical, virtual, cloud, and other platforms, which justifies more sophisticated storage analytics.
This session covers using predictive analytics to monitor and adjust functions like performance, capacity, caching, security, optimization, uptime and service levels; identify trends or patterns to forecast future requirements; detect problems before they result in failures or downtime; and convert insight into actions like changing policies, storage tiers, or DR strategies.

WebSocket is effectively a persistent and fat pipe that is compatible with a standard web infrastructure; a "TCP for the Web." If you think of WebSocket in this light, there are other more hugely interesting applications of WebSocket than just simply sending data to a browser.
We will compare other modern web connectivity methods such as HTTP/2, HTTP Streaming, Server-Sent Events and new W3C event APIs with WebSocket. This session will also look at how WebSocket provides innovative enhancements for dynamic hybrid cloud computing connectivity. And by providing proprietary TCP-based IoT with a common connectable substrate (Web of Things), we can obtain advantages for connected devices such as global reach, ease of deployment, economies of scale, ease of development, etc.

| What Added Value Can a Development Company Bring to Your Software Product? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every successful software product evolves from an idea to an enterprise system. Notably, the same way is passed by the product owner's company. This report represents a generalized overview of the evolution of a software product, the product owner, the needs that arise at various stages of this process, and the value brought by a software development partner to the product owner as a response to these needs.
- Evolution of the project = evolution of needs
- Value chain in software product evolution
- How a software development company can facilitate startups
- Growing scale and complexity, benefits of ongoing collaboration
- Engagement models: it's never too late to start a valuable cooperation!
All in all, the key value that can be added to the success of your product does not comprise technical expertise and corresponding development resources only; true success is possible when the software development company becomes a reliable long-time partner that keeps developing the product further and making it continuously relevant.

Apr. 20, 2018 12:45 AM EDT Reads: 4,640 | By Liz McMillan Agile has finally jumped the technology shark, expanding outside the software world. Enterprises are now increasingly adopting Agile practices across their organizations in order to successfully navigate the disruptive waters that threaten to drown them. In our quest for establishing change as a core competency in our organizations, this business-centric notion of Agile is an essential component of Agile Digital Transformation.
In the years since the publication of the Agile Manifesto, the conn... Apr. 19, 2018 11:30 PM EDT Reads: 3,599 | By Liz McMillan Major trends and emerging technologies – from virtual reality and IoT, to Big Data and algorithms – are helping organizations innovate in the digital era. However, to create real business value, IT must think beyond the ‘what’ of digital transformation to the ‘how’ to harness emerging trends, innovation and disruption. Architecture is the key that underpins and ties all these efforts together. In the digital age, it’s important to invest in architecture, extend the enterprise footprint to the cl... Apr. 19, 2018 11:00 PM EDT Reads: 9,815 | By Pat Romanski  Leading companies, from the Global Fortune 500 to the smallest companies, are adopting hybrid cloud as the path to business advantage.

@CloudExpo Blogs By Liz McMillan All organizations that did not originate this moment have a pre-existing culture as well as legacy technology and processes that can be more or less amenable to DevOps implementation. That organizational culture is influenced by the personalities and management styles of Executive Management, the wider culture in which the organization is situated, and the personalities of key team members at all levels of the organization. This culture and entrenched interests usually throw a wrench in the works because of misaligned incentives.

Apr. 20, 2018 08:45 AM EDT Reads: 3,005 | By Yeshim Deniz We are seeing a major migration of enterprises applications to the cloud.

Apr. 20, 2018 07:00 AM EDT Reads: 4,650 | By Ed Featherston  The cloud wars rage on. The room is full of 800lb gorillas that have been battling over market share and supremacy for several years now. You know who the key players are - Amazon, Microsoft, Google and IBM – all still standing. Three year ago, Gartner described the market as ‘still evolving and maturing’. However, last year, they described the market as ‘in a state of upheaval’ with many providers shifting their strategies as they struggle to obtain market share. Apr. 20, 2018 06:45 AM EDT Reads: 8,761 | By Elizabeth White We all know that end users experience the Internet primarily with mobile devices. From an app development perspective, we know that successfully responding to the needs of mobile customers depends on rapid DevOps – failing fast, in short, until the right solution evolves in your customers' relationship to your business. Whether you’re decomposing an SOA monolith, or developing a new application cloud natively, it’s not a question of using microservices – not doing so will be a path to eventual business failure. Apr. 20, 2018 06:45 AM EDT Reads: 1,845 | By Elizabeth White I think DevOps is now a rambunctious teenager - it's starting to get a mind of its own, wanting to get its own things but it still needs some adult supervision," explained Thomas Hooker, VP of marketing at CollabNet, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at DevOps Summit at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY. Apr. 20, 2018 03:45 AM EDT Reads: 1,818 | By Pat Romanski Enterprises are moving to the cloud faster than most of us in security expected. CIOs are going from 0 to 100 in cloud adoption and leaving security teams in the dust. Once cloud is part of an enterprise stack, it’s unclear who has responsibility for the protection of applications, services, and data.
When cloud breaches occur, whether active compromise or a publicly accessible database, the blame must fall on both service providers and users.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Ben Johnson, Co-Founder and CTO of Obsidian Security, explored how both groups must do more to make cloud more sec... Apr. 20, 2018 03:30 AM EDT Reads: 3,609 | By Stefan Bernbo  Many factors are contributing to the endlessly increasing volumes of data that organizations must now deal with, including cloud-based infrastructure and virtualization. This data contains a wealth of information that enterprises can use to transform their businesses, but first, a place for it must be found. Software-defined storage (SDS) has been gaining ground because it is highly flexible as well as affordable.

Apr. 20, 2018 03:15 AM EDT Reads: 1,171 | By Ed Featherston  Supply Chain. Logistics. Provenance. Hot topics around the dinner table with the family I am sure. Okay, maybe not so much. Even so, these all impact our lives daily, while we may be blissfully unaware of it. Take the dinner table for example. That savory grilled salmon filet on your plate may have come all the way from China. Those carrots and asparagus? Possibly shipped in from Peru. The fresh (out of season) fruit? Chile or Mexico could have been the origination point. What gets all those items from their source to your dinner table, while they are still fresh, is all about the supply chain...

Apr. 20, 2018 12:45 AM EDT Reads: 4,640 | By Rostyslav Demush  How much does it cost to make an app is almost as popular a question as it is confusing.
No one tries to learn the exact costs of, say, making a movie: people realize that there’s an overwhelming amount of variables involved on which they depend.
But almost every day a new inquiry is posted on a tech forum, Quora, or Reddit as to how much it’d take to build a mobile business app. Apr. 19, 2018 11:15 PM EDT Reads: 3,212 |
