Combating Cyberattacks in Real-Time Through Streaming Analytics
In this presentation, Striim CTO and founder Steve Wilkes will discuss
practical strategies for counteracting fraud and cyberattacks by leveraging
real-time streaming analytics.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Steve Wilkes, Founder and Chief Technology
Officer at Striim, will provide a detailed look into leveraging streaming
data management to correlate events in real time, and identify potential
breaches across IoT and non-IoT systems throughout the enterprise. Strategies
for processing massive amounts of data and performing complex analysis -
including anomaly detection and pattern matching - at lightning speed will be
shared.
Join this presentation to learn how to continuously collect real time and log
data from sensors and edge devices. See how to correlate network, device and

How to Make Use of Serverless Compute Solutions for IoT Device Simulation
When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many
development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a
choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do
so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next
best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with
ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple
application or transport protocols, you would be looking at some significant
engineering investment.
On-demand, serverless computing enables developers to try out a fleet of
devices on IoT gateways with ease. With a sensor simulator built on top of
AWS Lambda, it's possible to elastically generate device sensors that report
their state to the cloud.... (more)
Bringing Sanity to Evaluating Hybrid Cloud
Technology is advancing at a rapid pace. To keep up, organizations must now
take more strategic approaches to their business management solutions that
support respective requirements. Today, in every organization, conflicting
interests, misinformation, and fear of change make it difficult to know how
to navigate the cloud safely. That's why, when making a sensible technology
plan for the times ahead, it's crucial to ask the following questions to wade
through the confusion.
1. What regulatory requirements govern your data?
Understanding the state and federal compliance requirements that apply to
one's business data is a process, not an event. Data protection requirements
are increasingly strict, while enforcement penalties are on the rise. That's
why businesses need to define and document specific compliance requirements.

Going Serverless the Amazon Lambda Way? Stay Calm and Monitor On!
While some vendors scramble to create and sell you a fancy solution for
monitoring your spanking new Amazon Lambdas, hear how you can do it on the
cheap using just built-in Java APIs yourself. By exploiting a little-known
fact that Lambdas aren't exactly single threaded, you can effectively
identify hot spots in your serverless code.
In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, David Martin, Principal Product Owner at
CA Technologies, will give a live demonstration and code walkthrough, showing
how to overcome the challenges of monitoring S3 and RDS. He will provide an
overview of necessary Amazon Lambda concepts and discuss how to integrate the
monitoring data with other tools.
This presentation is for experienced Java coders, but does not require any
familiarity with Amazon Lambdas specifically.

Debunking the Myths of Scale-up Architectures
When growing capacity and power in the data center, the architectural
trade-offs between server scale-up vs. scale-out continue to be debated. Both
approaches are valid: scale-out adds multiple, smaller servers running in a
distributed computing model, while scale-up adds fewer, more powerful servers
that are capable of running larger workloads.
It's worth noting that there are additional, unique advantages that scale-up
architectures offer. One big advantage is large memory and compute capacity
that makes In-Memory Computing possible. This means that large databases can
now reside entirely in memory, boosting the analytics performance as well as
speeding up transaction processing. By virtually eliminating disk accesses,
database query times can be shortened by many orders of magnitude, leading to
real-time analytics fo... (more)
SYS-CON Events announced today that Progress, a global leader in application
development, has been named "Bronze Sponsor" of SYS-CON's 20th International
Cloud Expo®, which will take place on June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center
in New York City, NY.
Enterprises today are rapidly adopting the cloud, while continuing to retain
business-critical/sensitive data inside the firewall. This is creating two
separate data silos - one inside the firewall and the other outside the
firewall. Cloud ISVs often get requests to connect these silos using
technologies such as VPN; however, these tend to be difficult to manage and
are not engineered for accessing business data from the cloud.

In his opening keynote at 20th Cloud Expo, Michael Maximilien, Research Scientist, Architect, and Engineer at IBM, will motivate why realizing the full potential of the cloud and social data requires artificial intelligence. By mixing Cloud Foundry and the rich set of Watson services, IBM's Bluemix is the best cloud operating system for enterprises today, providing rapid development and deployment of applications that can take advantage of the rich catalog of Watson services to help drive insights from the vast trove of private and public data available to enterprises. 
SYS-CON Events announced today that delaPlex will exhibit at SYS-CON's @ThingsExpo, which will take place on June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY. delaPlex pioneered Software Development as a Service (SDaaS), which provides scalable resources to build, test, and deploy software. It’s a fast and more reliable way to develop a new product or expand your in-house team.
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to change everything by enabling “smart” environments (homes, cities, hospitals, schools, stores, etc.) and smart products (cars, trucks, airplanes, trains, wind turbines, lawnmowers, etc.). I recently wrote about the importance of moving beyond “connected” to “smart” in a blog titled “Internet of Things: Connected Does Not Equal Smart”. The article discusses the importance of moving beyond just collecting the data, to transitioning to leveraging this new wealth of IoT data to improve the decisions that these smart environments and products need to make: t...

In order to meet the rapidly changing demands of today’s customers, companies are continually forced to redefine their business strategies in order to meet these needs, stay relevant and continue to see profitable growth. IoT deployment and development is integral in this transformation, and today businesses are increasingly seeing the value of investing their resources into IoT deployments. These technologies are able increase ROI through projects such as connecting supply chains or enabling smart office capabilities for employees.

Multiple data types are pouring into IoT deployments. Data is coming in small packages as well as enormous files and data streams of many sizes. Widespread use of mobile devices adds to the total. In this power panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists will look at the tools and environments that are being put to use in IoT deployments, as well as the team skills a modern enterprise IT shop needs to keep things running, get a handle on all this data, and deliver the analytics that add value.
Machine learning, AI, cognitive computing, natural language understanding, image recognition, pattern matching, autonomous devices – these are just a few of 2017’s loosely defined catchall phrases.

So here are five things that you, as the leader of an organization that is singularly focused on creating shareholder value (however you define it), need to know
For a recent University of San Francisco MBA class, I wanted to put my students in a challenging situation where they would be forced to make difficult data science trade-offs between gathering data, preparing the data and performing the actual analysis.
