Machine-to-machine (M2M) learning is an integral apart of the expanding world
of Industrial IoT. Over the past few months we have given
attention to manufacturing and its current digital disruption, but have
failed to show the direct impact smart M2M and IoT technology is having on
the industry. So, this week we are diving deeper into the term machine
learning and how it connects to manufacturing both today and in the future.
Before we get to our news round up let's start by re-defining M2M, to ensure
we are all on the same page with its purpose and meaning. Gartner has
defined machine-2-machine communications as "something used for automated
data transmission and measurement between mechanical or electronic devices."
Now, that we have defined M2M, its time to check out our top news round up
for the week on how M2M applies to both manufacturing and IoT.

Can Developers Benefit from Regulatory Compliance?
Effectively SMBs and government programs must address compounded regulatory
compliance requirements. The most recent are Controlled Unclassified
Information and the EU's GDPR have Board Level implications. Managing
sensitive data protection will likely result in acquisition criteria,
demonstration requests and new requirements. Developers, as part of the
pre-planning process and the associated supply chain, could benefit from
updating their code libraries and design by incorporating changes.

What You Can Learn From Log-level Usage Reports
Separating the signal from the noise is one of the biggest challenges when
dealing with machine-generated log data today and has generally required deep
technical expertise. However once you find that signal it can be massively
useful and can help you make business decisions with a big impact. Today
Logentries is announcing log level usage reports, which is one more way we
are striving to do the hard work so you don't have to!
At first glance, log-level usage reports might seem quite rudimentary insofar
as they are weekly reports o... (more)
The next BriefingsDirect innovation discussion focuses on how technology,
data analysis, and digital networks are transforming procurement and the
source-to-pay process as we know it. We’ll also discuss what it takes to do
procurement well in this new era of business networks.
Far beyond just automating tasks and transactions, procurement today is a
strategic function that demands an integrated, end-to-end approach built on
deep insights and intelligence to drive informed source-to-pay decisions and
actions that enable businesses to adopt a true business ecosystem-wide

Three Hot Cloud Security Topics from @CloudExpo Silicon Valley
Two weeks ago (November 3-5), I attended the Cloud Expo Silicon Valley as a
speaker, where I presented on the security and privacy due diligence
requirements for cloud solutions.
Cloud security is a topical issue for every CIO, CISO, and technology buyer.
Decision-makers are always looking for insights on how to mitigate the
security risks of implementing and using cloud solutions. Based on the
presentation topics covered at the conference, as well as the general
discussions heard between sessions, I wanted to share ... (more)
Welcome to the latest installment in the battle of two tech titans. Last week
Alphabet announced that Nest is being merged into Google. See Fortune's
summary: Google Will Absorb Nest Developers.
This is the denouement to the saga that started in April, tied to infighting
between the Google and Nest teams. I dissected this "silo-itis" in Why #Nest
is Down, #Amazon Up, in #IoT for the #Connected Home.
Now some unsurprising new developments since Tony Fadell, the CEO of Nest,
resigned in June. Here's what Google is trying to achieve by "re-absorbing"
the troubled Nest group:

@CloudExpo Stories By Pat Romanski  Cognitive Computing is becoming the foundation for a new generation of solutions that have the potential to transform business. Unlike traditional approaches to building solutions, a cognitive computing approach allows the data to help determine the way applications are designed. This contrasts with conventional software development that begins with defining logic based on the current way a business operates.

How can we bring this analog infrastructure into our shiny new cloud applications? There are proven methods to bind both legacy voice applications and traditional PSTN audio into cloud-based applications and services at a carrier scale. Some of the most successful implementations leverage WebRTC, WebSockets, SIP and other open source technologies.

In fact, the more that you leverage your data across multiple business use cases, the more valuable it becomes to the organization. And the same can be said about the organization’s analytics.

Throughout history, various leaders have risen up and tried to unify the world by conquest. Fortunately, none of their plans have succeeded. The world goes on just fine with each country ruling itself; no single ruler is necessary. That’s how it is with the container platform ecosystem, as well.
There’s no need for one all-powerful, all-encompassing container platform. Think about any other technology sector out there – there are always multiple solutions in every space. The same goes for container technology. When you create something that is super scalable, the drawback is that it’s not goi...
DELL EMC’s Isilon division has been working with Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) to create a data lake that provides a seamless process to add and maintain massive amounts of video data to serve their baseball fanatics (like me). Here is a cool 2-minute video that shows how they did it. The company operates the official web site for the league and the thirty Major League Baseball club web sites via MLB.com, which draws four million hits per day. It also provides the backend-streaming infrastructure for WWE Network, HBO NOW, NHL etc.
About a year ago we tuned into “the need for speed” and how a concept like "serverless computing” was increasingly catering to this. We are now a year further and the term “serverless” is taking on unexpected proportions. With some even seeing it as the successor to cloud in general or at least as a successor to the clouds’ poorer cousin in terms of revenue, hype and adoption: PaaS.
The question we need to ask is whether this constitutes an example of Hype Hopping: to effortlessly pivot to the next new thing once the previous one turns out to be just a bit less attractive and certainly a lot ...
Conjecture, an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
All digital transformation initiatives introduce new problems, software bugs, guaranteed network vulnerabilities, new competitors; new business challenges and new stresses. The elimination of all negative consequences and vulnerabilities are impossible, so our focus should be on limiting and containing it, not eliminating it. 
Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docker deployments are different: a set of containers may run many applications, all sharing the resources of one or more underlying hosts. It's not uncommon for Docker servers to run thousands of short-te...
You’ve probably heard a multitude of things around hyperconvergence or hyperconverged infrastructure as these are becoming hot new industry buzzwords, but what do these terms really mean? Are vendors that say they have hyperconverged infrastructure really living up to the promises of true hyperconvergence or is it just marketing hype?
