The Internet of Things (IoT) is the most profound change in personal and
enterprise IT since the creation of the Worldwide Web more than 20 years ago.
All major researchers estimate there will be tens of billions devices -
computers, smartphones, tablets, and sensors - connected to the Internet by
2020. This number will continue to grow at a ... (more)
What is Java DevOps? Benefits, Considerations, Tutorials and More
By Angela Stringfellow
DevOps sees the coming together of practices, philosophies, and tools that
allow you to create services and applications very quickly. This means that
you can improve on your apps and evolve them at a much faster rate than those
developers who are using traditional software development processes. We’ve
talked about DevOps, in general, a great deal, but today, we’re going to
dig a little deeper and take a look at Java DevOps specifically.
What Is DevOps?
DevOps is simply a portmanteau of software DEVelopment and IT OPerations. It
was first called agile operations and involves different disciplines in
building, operating and evolving applications and services.
Using a DevOps model, you are bringing together your development team and
your operations team, and their work is no longer i... (more)
The Need for the Public Cloud Alternative
What You Need to Know
You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at
Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know
that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with
public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the
public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based
on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits
inherent in those technologies.
What do you do?
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Carmelo McCutcheon, VP of Pre-Sales
Engineering and Services at Cloudistics, will discuss how private cloud
infrastructure based on composable technologies result in environments that
are suitable for all your workloads while also providing you with many of the
benefits of the ... (more)

Floyd “Money” Mayweather made headlines last weekend for making light
work of Mixed Martial Arts superstar Conor McGregor. But he also made tech
headlines recently by endorsing the Hubii Network, an initial coin offering
(ICO), on his Instagram and Twitter accounts.
This isn’t the first time Mayweather (who’s dubbed himself Floyd
“Crypto” Mayweather) has endorsed an ICO. In late July, he promoted the
ICO for the Stox project, which went on to raise more than $30 million in its
token sale. (BTW: There are subtle differences between an ICO, a token sale,
and a crowdsale, although the terms are often used interchangeably. Search
the terms to learn more.)
What Is an ICO?
An ICO is similar to an IPO (initial public offering) in that it offers a
certain amount of ownership in a company to the public. In an IPO, a share of
stock represents fractional ownership of a corpor... (more)

Live and Let Die: The Need for an AI-Enabled Enterprise
The Internet giants are fully embracing AI. All the services they offer to
their customers are aimed at drawing a map of the world with the data they
get. The AIs from these companies are used to build disruptive approaches
that cannot be used by established enterprises, which are threatened by these
disruptions. However, most leaders underestimate the effect this will have on
their businesses.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Rene Buest, Director Market Research &
Technology Evangelism at Arago, will discuss:

Silos Are Dead! Long Live the Silos!
Guest post by Intellyx Principal Analyst Charles Araujo
Nothing unites any group of people like a common enemy. And since the move
toward digital transformation began - and IT transformation before it - a
favorite common enemy has been organizational silos.
It has been an oft-repeated mantra that in order to execute a successful
transformation of any kind, the organization must break through the silos
that have been the source of dysfunction and obstruction.
Everyone could agree that silos created unnecessary separation,
protectionism, and bureaucracy. No one would dare argue that having rigid
silos were somehow good for the organization.
Silos were, therefore, the easy target. They became the mantle onto which
leaders could lay all past transgressions, and, in so doing, they became a
convenient artifice to allow the leader to pro... (more)
Industry after industry is under siege as companies embrace digital
transformation (DX) to disrupt existing business models and disintermediate
their competitor's customer relationships. But what do we mean by "Digital
Transformation"?
Digital Transformation
The coupling of granular, real-time data (e.g., smartphones, connected
devices, smart appliances, wearables, mobile commerce, video surveillance)
with modern technologies (e.g., cloud native apps, Big Data architectures,
hyper-converged technologies, artificial intelligence, blockchain) to enhance
products, processes, and business-decision making with customer, product and
operational insights.
In order to achieve digital transformation, organizations need to coordinate
and align the following business and technology capabilities:

@CloudExpo Stories By Liz McMillan  As DevOps methodologies expand their reach across the enterprise, organizations face the daunting challenge of adapting related cloud strategies to ensure optimal alignment, from managing complexity to ensuring proper governance. How can culture, automation, legacy apps and even budget be reexamined to enable this ongoing shift within the modern software factory? Sep. 14, 2017 05:15 AM EDT Reads: 2,943 | By Elizabeth White  Organizations do not need a Big Data strategy; they need a business strategy that incorporates Big Data. Most organizations lack a road map for using Big Data to optimize key business processes, deliver a differentiated customer experience, or uncover new business opportunities. They do not understand what’s possible with respect to integrating Big Data into the business model.

Our cities have been connected since the dawn of urbanization in the Indus Valley and on the plains of Mesopotamia nearly ten millennia ago. Cities exist to gather and connect people, bringing us together into communities and joint ventures that need complex networks of communication. But in recent years the connected city has come to mean something more. Today and in the future, the connected city will not just be about people connecting with people, but people with machines, people with people via machines, and perhaps most importantly, machines with machines.
There are many solutions that claim to democratize analytics, but they are really constrained. A meta-learning approach democratizes without limits.
The democratization of analytics has become a popular term, and a quick Google search will generate results that explore the necessity of empowering more people with analytics and the rise of citizen data scientists. The ability to easily make better use of your (constantly growing) pool of data is a critical driver of business success, but many of the existing solutions that claim to democratize analytics only do so within severe limits. If you ...
My discussions with organizations looking to “digitally transform” themselves is yielding some interesting observations. I expect that when these discussions move into the execution phase, we will start to create some “Laws of Digital Transformation” that will guide organizations digital transformation journey. So with that in mind, let me start by proposing these “4 Laws of Digital Transformation.”
I recently visited my dentist and found the experience, well, less than satisfactory. I was subjected to 45 minutes of lecturing while strapped into the dentist chair:
“You don’t brush enough times a day. You don’t brush long enough. You don’t brush correctly. You aren’t using the right type of toothbrush. You aren’t replacing the brush head soon enough. You aren’t flossing enough. You aren’t flossing correctly. You aren’t using the right type of floss.”
Good lord! It’s any wonder that my teeth aren’t just falling out of my head!!
No one likes being lectured. It’s not constructive and a...
We've all read the dystopian fiction, watched those apocalyptic movies and heard a myriad of prophetic warnings heralding our obsolescence. Surely now we're just a couple of years from flipping the switch on a Skynet of our own making and condemning mankind to the annals of history.
Actually, we're not entirely sure what the future holds, but it's probably not fire and brimstone. For detractors and naysayers of technology, could there be a more fitting image than Terminator 2's opening shot? A hulking, skeletal, humanoid machine crushing a human skull beneath its foot. Listening to ‘techno-sk...
Cloud providers like AWS have proven to be a viable option for running mainframe application workloads. The most effective method to exploit the value of Unisys mainframe applications and data is a transformative migration to modern systems frameworks in AWS, reusing as much of the original application source as possible. Execute a discover, design, modern, test, and implement cycle to move mainframe applications.
Some mainframe migration tools can keep existing code in place, but expect to replace components and rethink data storage.
The year 2017 so far has been the year of digital transformation with cloud , IoT , APIs and Low code application development gaining focus . Companies that build Low Code Platforms and help organisations build business applications are beginning to see these technologies scale up. Low code platforms market is expected to scale up to $20B by the end of the decade, says Forrester.

Every Security Operations Center (SOC) manager and security analyst is struggling to some degree to stay one step ahead of the dramatic growth in cybercrime and the ransomware epidemic. In fact, according to the Cybersecurity Market Report published by Cybersecurity Ventures, a cyber security research and publishing firm, spending on cybersecurity is predicted to top $1 trillion between 2017 and 2021.
There are plenty of very real and costly examples that show why organizations are increasing their spending for cybersecurity. While the high profile Mirai attacks with the Dyn IoT botnet attack...
According to this year’s Internet Trends Report, the cloud is steadily expanding and companies are spending more on these services. Businesses are opting to use these third-party services rather than build their own internal tool because they are often easier and less expensive to deploy. There’s no need to assign IT resources and purchase necessary hardware to deploy a new software solution, so the business unit can sign a contract and start using a solution almost immediately.
Because security is an increasing concern for developers, a new movement is emerging, known as DevSecOps, which encourages developers to bring security and standards to the forefront while building applications. That means there's good reason to stay on top of security information and event management trends and best practices, as well as the solutions that support it. With that in mind, let's take a look at how it works, benefits for developers, and why it matters.
Today’s businesses run in the virtual world. From virtual machines to chatbots to Bitcoin, physical has become last century’s modus operandi. Dealing with this type of change in business even has its own buzzword – Digital Transformation. From an information technology operations point of view, this has been manifested by organizations increasingly placing applications, virtual servers, storage platforms, networks, managed services and other assets in multiple cloud environments. Managing these virtual assets can be much more challenging than it was with traditional physical assets in your ...
Leading companies, from the Global Fortune 500 to the smallest companies, are adopting hybrid cloud as the path to business advantage. Hybrid cloud depends on cloud services and on-premises infrastructure working in unison. Successful implementations require new levels of data mobility, enabled by an automated and seamless flow across on-premises and cloud resources. In his general session at 21st Cloud Expo, Greg Tevis, an IBM Storage Software Technical Strategist and Customer Solution Architect, will explore how storage and software-defined solutions from IBM have evolved for the road ahead....
I’ve always felt that bringing an economics perspective to our big data and digital transformation discussions is more important than a traditional accounting or even information technology (IT) perspective. Heck, I believe that a Chief Data Officer’s background should be more along the lines of economics than IT. Economics brings a forward-looking perspective on creating value (wealth). In fact, economics is defined as “the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer (capture) of wealth.”
The nature of the technology business is forward-thinking. It focuses on the future and what’s coming next. Innovations and creativity in our world of software development strive to improve the status quo and increase customer satisfaction through speed and increased connectivity.
Yet, while it's exciting to see enterprises embrace new ways of thinking and advance their processes with cutting edge technology, it rarely happens rapidly or even simultaneously across all industries.
