"We formed Formation several years ago to really address the need for bring
complete modernization and software-defined storage to the more classic
private cloud marketplace," stated Mark Lewis, Chairman and CEO of Formation
Data Systems, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 18th Cloud Expo, held June 7-9,
2016, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY.
20th International Cloud Expo, taking place June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits
Center in New York City, NY, will feature technical sessions from a rock star
conference faculty and the leading industry players in the world.
Cloud computing is now being embraced by a majority of enterprises of all
sizes. Yesterday's debate about public vs. private has transformed into the
reality of hybrid cloud: a recent survey shows that 74% of enterprises have a
hybrid cloud strategy. Meanwhile, 94% of enterprises are using some form of

Systems of Innovation for Ongoing Digital Transformation
Information technology (IT) advances are transforming the way we innovate in
business, thereby disrupting the old guard and their predictable status-quo.
It’s creating global market turbulence. Industries are converging, and new
opportunities and threats are emerging, like never before.
So, how are savvy chief information officers (CIOs) leading this transition?
Back in 2015, the IBM Institute for Business Value conducted a market study
that included the findings from over 1,800 CIO interviews from around the
globe. The resulting insights are worthy of revisiting today, as we consider
the digital business transformation outlook in 2017.
Introduction to the Torchbearer CIO
CIOs realize the barriers between formerly distinct industries are
collapsing, as organizations in one sector apply their expertise to others ... (more)
Hard Choices Are Required When Adopting a Cloud Operating Model
When was the last time you’ve ever heard anyone say “IT Applications &
Operations”? Frankly, in my 30+ year career in IT, I don’t believe I’ve
ever heard anyone use this term. The typical term we hear is IT
Infrastructure & Operations. These two go together like Peanut Butter and
Jelly, which tells us a lot about how we view the field of IT.
For those that may not be familiar with the role of IT Operations, Joe
Hertvik does a great job here of describing IT Operations Management as
someone engaged in the role of providing this service to the business. As you
can see it’s very interesting how he specifically addresses the gap between
responsibilities regarding IT Applications and IT Operations as a Venn
diagram in which there is no overlap.
However, as we progress from a pre-Cloud Operating Model world t... (more)

In the run-up to the next Cloud Expo, 7th Cloud Expo (November 1–4, 2010)
being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, it's time
to give my earlier list a complete overhaul.
Here, accordingly, is an expanded list of the most active players in the
Cloud Ecosystem.
I have increased it from the 'mere' 150 I identified back in January of this
year, to 250, testimony – as if any were needed! – to the fierce and
continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of
enterprise computing.
Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various
services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web
sites of the companies themselves. Omissions to this Top 250 list should be
sent to me via Twitter (twitter.com/jg21) and I will endeavor to include them
in any future revision of this newly expanded rou... (more)
Three months after publicly starting down the road to imprint its NDA on the
cloud by establishing a large-scale open source cloud platform called
OpenStack free for anybody to use, Rackspace Hosting, its BFF NASA and a
reportedly growing OpenStack community made their first official code drop
Thursday.
The milestone is called Austin - they're doing this alphabetically so
presumably they have a ways to go - and it includes the all-important Amazon
EC2-challenging OpenStack Compute provisioning engine that's supposed to
blend the best of the Rackspace Cloud Servers widgetry that underlies its
public cloud offering with NASA's own home-made Nebula cloud platform.
OpenStack Compute, which has commanded most of the work these last few
months, is the engine that provisions virtual machines complements of either
Xen or KVM and basically supplies the glue that holds a clo... (more)
Presently, I am the administrator of SCM AllFusion Harvest. SCM AllFusion
Harvest is a process-based Software Configuration Management (SCM) tool for
managing application source code. I manage 121 applications housed in SCM
AllFusion Harvest and support 185 users using the product. The development
tools we currently use are PowerBuilder PBV8, PBV11; Visual Studio 2003,
2005, 2008; and Java.
As the Software Configuration Manager (SCM), I provide the administration of
the source code management tool. This includes the entire infrastructure of

providing the best practices, procedures, processes, documentation;
maintaining build machines; and the training of all the developers on proper
source code management using the development tool in our development
environment.

As a resourceful developer, you're not writing code from scratch anymore. You
probably have access to a vast amount of code you wrote at previous jobs, and
a lot of your development probably relies at least in some part around third
party or open source software. Every savvy developer knows their way around
Sourceforge, Codeplex, or GitHub, and with access to readily available code
that frees you up to tackle real challenges, there really is no downside to
open source code.
Sure, you're probably aware that many open source projects have license
obligations tied to them. And licenses are not generally written for
developer consumption, so you may be part of a growing contingent of
developers that doesn't care about them, but it's likely that your manager
cares.
With the increasing complexity of software, organizations are more cognizant
than ever about the potenti... (more)

I have not blogged much about what I work with or do and that's on purpose.
Sometimes I am not allowed to tell and mostly I think you would not find it
interesting. However, I wanna share with you from Qt Developer Days #qtdd09
in Munich, which was an amazing event.
Not only is Qt a decent Developer tool for making desktop apps, but joining
forces with Nokia, ex-Trolltech is getting far more traction as well. As a
result of last week's devdays but also beta-release of Qt 4.6, one of my
favorite online newsletter had this article last week.
But being at DevDays Europe is an amazing experience. Third year now for me
and it keeps blowing my mind off. This year an amazing 660 delegates + the

Most DevOps journeys involve several phases of maturity. Research shows that the inflection point where organizations begin to see maximum value is when they implement tight integration deploying their code to their infrastructure. Success at this level is the last barrier to at-will deployment. Storage, for instance, is more capable than where we read and write data.
