In his session at Cloud Expo, Ed Featherston, a director and senior
enterprise architect at Collaborative Consulting, discussed the key
considerations around quality, volume, timeliness, and pedigree that must be
dealt with in order to properly fuel that engine.

Being a business leader in the established economy is not necessarily a fun
job these days. Keeping the competitors at a distance while finding ways to
defend the current business model against the Internet giants like Amazon,
Google, Facebook etc. is a tough job. However, running a business based on
digital disciplines and being prepared with the right armor is simply about
doing rather than thinking about the why. As a supporting element, a modern
business strategy is built upon a magic triangle that consists of three
vertices delivering the necessary essentials: Be digital. Use cloud. Leverage
artificial intelligence (AI). In this article, we are going to unfold this
triangle.
Digital: Just do it
First, talking digitization means talking about a digital evolution and not a
transformation. We are within a digitization process that has started over 40
years ago w... (more)
Is Hosted Private Cloud the Migration Path Less Taken?
If you read a lot of business and technology publications, you might think
public clouds are universally preferred over all other cloud options. To be
sure, the numbers posted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft's Azure
platform are nothing short of impressive. Statistics reveal that public
clouds are growing faster than private clouds and analysts at IDC predict
that public cloud growth will be 3 times that of private clouds by 2019.
However, recent Forrester research shows that migration to a Hosted Private
Cloud is still a leading component of a Hybrid IT strategy for many
organizations:
"Hosted private cloud adoption rose significantly between 2015 and 2016 in
North America (28% to 33%). . . . Among all cloud adopters and planners, 36%
state that hosted private cloud is - or will be - their primary clo... (more)

Demystifying Kubernetes for Enterprise Developers
Kubernetes is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and
management of containerized applications. Kubernetes was originally built by
Google, leveraging years of experience with managing container workloads, and
is now a Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) project. Kubernetes has been
widely adopted by the community, supported on all major public and private
cloud providers, and is gaining rapid adoption in enterprises. However,
Kubernetes may seem intimidating and complex to learn. This is because
Kubernetes is more of a toolset than a ready solution. Hence it's essential
to know when and how to apply the appropriate Kubernetes constructs.
In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 21st Cloud Expo, Jim Bugwadia, founder and
CEO at Nirmata, will cover all Kubernetes concepts that are important to

Must Watch Video: Recap of @DevOpsSummit New York Javits Center
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in
enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and
collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for
long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch.
DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.

Data reduction delivers compelling cost reduction that substantially improves
the business case in every cloud deployment model. No matter which cloud
approach you choose, the cost savings benefits from data reduction should not
be ignored and must be a component of your cloud strategy.
IT professionals are finding that the future of IT infrastructure lies in the
cloud. Data reduction technologies enable clouds - public, private, and
hybrid - to deliver business agility and elasticity at the lowest possible
cost, making cloud the deployment model of choice for IT infrastructure going
forward.
You probably have already made a commitment to the cloud because it enables
you to flexibly deliver IT resources more quickly and at a lower cost. IT
buyers are steadily shifting towards cloud-first strategies where they can
rapidly adapt to market dynamics as they are no longe... (more)
The Reactive Edge: Reinventing the Edge Tier Using a Reactive Communication
Protocol
There is a huge demand for responsive, real-time mobile and web experiences,
but current architectural patterns do not easily accommodate applications
that respond to events in real time. Common solutions using message queues or
HTTP long-polling quickly lead to resiliency, scalability and development
velocity challenges.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Ryland Degnan, a Senior Software Engineer
on the Netflix Edge Platform team, will discuss how by leveraging a reactive
stream-based protocol, we have been able to solve many of these problems at
the communication layer. This makes it possible to create rich application
experiences and support use-cases such as mobile-to-mobile communication and
large file transfers that would be difficult or cost-prohibitive with

"Suddenly a lot of companies started focusing on producing services in the cloud. I like to call it Cloud Native - everything is built for the cloud.

In today's cloud based world, automation is key enabler for success. Yet, folks are scared of automation due to risk of losing job. However automation needs to be seen as a way to keep your job in and not out. Wikipedia definition of automation is "Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention." The key word in thi...
If you are thinking about moving applications off a mainframe and over to open systems and the cloud, consider these guidelines to prioritize what to move and what to eliminate.
On the surface, mainframe architecture seems relatively simple: A centrally located computer processes data through an input/output subsystem and stores its computations in memory. At the other end of the mainframe are printers and terminals that communicate with the mainframe through protocols.
For all of its apparent simplicity, mainframe architecture can be extraordinarily complex. Mainframes process thousands o...
For over a decade, Application Programming Interface or APIs have been used to exchange data between multiple platforms.

In the No-Code corner are the ‘citizen developers’ – business users who can build functional but generally limited apps without having to write a line of code.

So far so good. Confusing, yes – but focusing on personas rather than coding provides a useful frame of reference.
Only one problem: even this emerging model of the Low-Code/No-Code marketplace is itself ripe for its own disruption. And you ain’t se...
The cloud ushered in a fundamental change in the way applications are deployed. Instead of worrying about how much dedicated hardware to order for your data center, you simply spin up as many servers as you need to do the job, then decommission them once the job is done. Yet, you still have to plan how many servers you will need at each stage of processing; you still have to remember to decommission them when done; and you pay for the entire virtual machine during the time you use it even though the server may be idle for most of that time.

In its 2017 State of Malware Report, Malwarebytes Labs recorded a 267 percent increase in ransomware between January 2016 and November 2016, with over 400 different variants in total. The report noted that while malware authors mostly relied on ransomware to make the bulk of their revenues, there was an increase in ad fraud as well. Botnets and mobile malware also continue to expand and evolve. The report predicts that until IoT devices become secure out of the box, botnets will get even bigger and pose an even greater threat to the internet – and any company connected to it.
Many organizations are associating data monetization with selling their data. But selling data is not a trivial task, especially for organizations whose primary business relies on its data.
