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)

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 this definition is the last few words " reduced human
intervention". Given automation is associated with reducing or eliminating
human intervention, it often scare's us to automate our job with the risk of
losing our job. However, does automation really results in your job out or ... (more)
Machine Learning needs tons of data. But what are you going to do when the
data only exist in the heads of your employees?

SYS-CON Events announced today that Datera, that offers a radically new data
management architecture, has been named "Exhibitor" of SYS-CON's 21st
International Cloud Expo ®, which will take place on Oct 31 - Nov 2, 2017,
at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
Datera is transforming the traditional datacenter model through modern cloud
simplicity.
The technology industry is at another major inflection point. The rise of
mobile, the Internet of Things, data storage and Big Data are challenging the
existing design patterns of the Data Center. The increase in complexity of
managing legacy systems alongside new systems is beyond the ability of most
IT departments. This leads to multiple tiers of storage and high economic
costs, during a time in which IT is expected to do more with less.
Datera offers a radically new data management architecture, where ... (more)
Today, machine learning is found in almost every product and service by
Apple. They use deep learning to extend battery life between charges on their
devices and detect fraud on the Apple store, recognize the locations and
faces in your photos, and help Apple choose news stories for you.
The concept of AI (Artificial Intelligence) has been the subject of many
discussions lately. According to some predictions, AI will have the ability
to learn by itself, outclassing the capabilities of the human brain, and even
manage to fight for equal rights by the year 2100. Even though these are
(still) just speculations and predictions, companies like Apple are
developing and implementing machine learning technology, which is still in
its infancy. How is Apple using machine learning?

@CloudExpo Stories By Liz McMillan  "We were founded in 2003 and the way we were founded was about good backup and good disaster recovery for our clients, and for the last 20 years we've been pretty consistent with that," noted Marc Malafronte, Territory Manager at StorageCraft, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY. Jul. 24, 2017 02:15 AM EDT Reads: 1,069 | By Elizabeth White  While the focus and objectives of IoT initiatives are many and diverse, they all share a few common attributes, and one of those is the network. Commonly, that network includes the Internet, over which there isn't any real control for performance and availability. Or is there? The current state of the art for Big Data analytics, as applied to network telemetry, offers new opportunities for improving and assuring operational integrity.

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 of...
A recent BusinessWeek article titled “America’s Retailers Are Closing Stores Faster Than Ever” summarizes the epidemic that retailers are facing today (see Figure 1).
Retailers are closing stores at a record path and the driving force behind the acceleration in store closings is Amazon, who now accounts for over 50% of all on-line retail sales (see Figure 2).
What are retailers to do when the tricks and techniques that worked in the past just don’t work in today’s real-time data and analytics driven business world? Business models that worked in a world that valued size and location quickly...

Digital Transformation is the key issue driving the global enterprise IT business. Digital Transformation is most prominent among Global 2000 enterprises and government institutions.
From personal care products to groceries and movies on demand, cloud-based subscriptions are fulfilling the needs of consumers across an array of market sectors. Nowhere is this shift to subscription services more evident than in the technology sector. By adopting an Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) delivery model, companies are able to tailor their computing environments to shape the experiences they want for customers as well as their workforce. 
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.
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....

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.
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.
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. Organizations new to selling data need to be concerned with privacy and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), data quality and accuracy, data transmission reliability, pricing, packaging, marketing, sales, support, etc. Companies such as Nielsen, Experian and Acxiom are experts at selling data because that’s their business; they have built a business around gathering, aggregating, cleansing, aligning, ...
The size of competitors and the longevity of their brands, are less predictive of future success than the quality and speed of their information logistics systems, and their ability to use it as a competitive advantage. More data is being generated today than ever before, and successful companies are investing in business analytics and big data solutions to mine competitive advantages. There is a new sense of urgency today as businesses realize data has a shelf life, and the value of it diminishes rapidly over time. In an always-connected world where consumers and their needs are transient, ...
