Two-thirds of organizations implementing hybrid cloud report they’re already gaining competitive advantage from their hybrid environments and are nearly three times as likely to use it to assemble data assets or monetize data, according to findings released by IBM (NYSE: IBM).
With a hybrid cloud approach, organizations can be selective about when to use cloud and when to use traditional IT infrastructure – delivering the best functionality while meeting speed and flexibility needs, as well a...
Internet of Things (IoT) platforms have evolved. Advances in technology make it possible for facilities to become more data-driven by connecting to energy assets, thereby improving building resiliency and reducing energy costs. By creating an Energy Network of Things, facilities can manage energy assets in real-time, institute system-wide operational oversight and compliance, execute energy efficiency programs, utilize real-time data, and support budgeting and asset planning across local and geo...

If you work in IT, you’re likely bombarded with vendor messaging about the cloud. Yes, understanding the cloud is a requirement for all technology professionals, but it may seem that the cloud is all anyone is talking about these days. And right or wrong, many IT departments are even adopting a cloud-first mentality.
Now, we do believe the cloud is the future of IT, but – and this is a big but – it’s not for everything. The cloud is like using a rental car: quick and cheap, but a Hertz is not the ideal mode of transportation to get to the office every day. In other words, the cloud isn’t the...
DevOps simply represents the better fusion of the usually quite distinct departments of software engineering and IT operations. The goal is faster and safer rates of software innovation.
A simple objective but a troublesome one in reality – As many experts explain the core issue is they are directly opposed: One is tasked with creating as much software change as is possible, and the other tasked with minimizing change as much as possible. Even the smallest full stop in a URL in a line of code can break an entire system and deploying complex enterprise applications multiplies this risk factor ...
Back in October, my son’s robotics team said “Hey! You work for a software company, can you build us an application that will help us with scouting and competitions?” Foolishly, ego stepped in before a careful outsourced review of my existing skills could take place, so I said “Sure! Not a web developer, but how hard could it be?”
Seriously… how hard could this be? I see web application traffic all the time. On the wire. And I can even manipulate that traffic at the protocol level and do amazing things with it programmatically. But…changing application traffic in flight is not development of ...
TCP/IP connectivity starts with a DNS look-up so that Endpoint A, seeking to establish a connection to Endpoint B, can determine B’s IP address. Not knowing when a connection request may be coming, Endpoint B has to continually listen for the arrival of such requests. Not even knowing who the requester is, Endpoint B must respond to the connection request to establish a TCP connection. Only then can Endpoint B seek more information from Endpoint A to try to establish its identity, authorization, and trust. 
Cloud computing can get confusing sometimes. For IT professionals who have been part of technology for the last few years sometimes new terminology is just a way to redefine things that were done in the past. “We’ve done that since 1995,” or “We used to do that in the ’80s,” is not an uncommon response that we sometimes hear when we speak about new things.
Cloud computing is one such area that has its roots in the 1970s when the remote job entry system did somewhat of what today’s cloud computing technology does, but at a very small, miniature scale.
There are few trends in enterprise IT receiving more attention in 2016 than DevOps. A combo of the words "development" and "operations," DevOps is a term that can mean a lot of different things depending on the context. Sometimes it refers to specific software or hardware tools, e.g., a DevOps automation platform for spinning up test labs or sandboxes – but more often it is used to describe a broad new approach to culture within an organization.
A recent article in BusinessWeek (January 19, 2016) titled “Better Living Through Robots” indicates that productivity-enhancing technology innovation has reached its end. Experts such as Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason University and the author of “The Great Stagnation”, believe that America has “eaten all the low-hanging fruit” for realizing the economic impact from new technology innovations.
Wow, guess it’s time to pack in all this excitement about big data and data science and get ready for a lifetime of “stasis in the way offices work, stasis in the way retailers work, and stas...
Researchers at Binghamton University recently became the first to create an open source graphics processor unit (GPU). The GPU they created, called Nyami, is appropriate for general purposes as well as graphics-specific work.
Nyami is significant in the research, computing and open source communities because it marks the first time open source has been used to design a GPU, as well as the first time a research team was able to test how different hardware and software configurations affect GPU performance. The results of the experiments the researchers performed are now part of the open sour...
Lean, Agile and DevOps principles have improved software delivery in many important ways. As evolving markets compel software organizations to increase quality and productivity, interest in these concepts has never been higher. But despite their considerable merits, individually and collectively, they can fall short in addressing the full range of issues confronted by modern software organizations. To close the gaps, these principles must be knitted together in a way that allows you to realize the full potential of your people, processes and technologies. The fastest and most effective way to ...
The companies that are succeeding with their use of public cloud services are sharing similar stories online and at industry conferences about what they consider to be the leading drivers of their progress. These are usually in the form of bold, strategic decisions that demonstrate different thinking to where they were some years ago.
These bold decisions reflect the changing focus on cloud to above that of the original Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model and toward the NoOps, higher-order cloud services such as Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Decisions su...
I don't think we take competition serious enough. I don't think we fully understand how important digital transformation is, and the far-reaching economic implications of not competing effectively. In 2014 in a discussion about the struggling Finnish economy, Mr Stubb, the former prime minister of Finland, told a newspaper, "Steve Jobs took our [country's] jobs." His words describe the severe impact of not competing effectively on a nation's economy. In a global market innovation and competition from the other side of the world can powerfully and rapidly impact the local economy for good o...
Over the last few weeks I was fortunate to meet a large number of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) at two separate industry events in Toronto. At both these events, focused on MSPs, and through all my conversations, one thing that resonated throughout was the dire state in which Managed Service Providers are currently conducting business. I am sharing my thoughts to help make sense of what the industry is going through and how the inability to adapt can lead to the slow death of an otherwise highly successful industry.
The major IT vendors and consulting firms are urging their clients to migrate their IT infrastructure and applications to cloud under the pretext that their cloud solutions will help them meet the digital challenges.
This vision about cloud helping to meet digital challenges results from the misunderstanding of the digital economy's disruptive effective. Transforming IT to DevOps should be the top priority of IT leader agendas.
