The Road to a Cloud Adoption and Digital Transformation
In this strange new world where more and more power is drawn from business
technology, companies are effectively straddling two paths on the road to
innovation and transformation into digital enterprises.
The first path is the heritage trail - with "legacy" technology forming the
background. Here, extant technologies are transformed by core IT teams to
provide more API-driven approaches. Legacy systems can restrict companies
that are transitioning into digital enterprises. To truly become a leader in
the space, it's necessary to accommodate, incorporate, and exploit the new
breed of enterprise technologies - cloud, Big Data, and APIs.

Attendees at the upcoming Cloud Expo | @ThingsExpo at the Santa Clara
Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA, Oct 31-Nov 2, will find fresh new
content in a new track called Enterprise Cloud & Digital Transformation.
Digital transformation is changing the face of business. The IDC predicts
that enterprises will commit to a massive new scale of digital
transformation, to stake out leadership positions in the "digital
transformation economy."
Gaining a better understanding of customers and acting upon this information
is the foundation of Digital Transformation (DX) in the enterprise. Applying
the latest technologies in this area is the key to driving new topline
revenue opportunities.

How Serverless Computing Changes Cloud, and Your Job
In a recent survey, Sumo Logic surveyed 1,500 customers who employ cloud
services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud
Platform (GCP). According to the survey, a quarter of the respondents have
already deployed Docker containers and nearly as many (23 percent) are
employing the AWS Lambda serverless computing framework.
It's clear: serverless is here to stay. The adoption does come with some
needed changes, within both application development and operations. That
means serverless is also changing the way we leverage public clouds.
Truth-be-told, many enterprise IT shops were so happy to get out of the
management of physical servers within a data center that many limitations of
the existing public IaaS clouds were forgiven. However, now that we've lived
a few years with public IaaS ... (more)

Containers 101: What You Need to Know
Containers are the future of web development, in large part thanks to
Docker's explosive growth. According to DataDog, 15 percent of hosts run
Docker, which is significantly up from the 6 percent of hosts running it at
this point in 2015. LinkedIn has also seen a 160 percent increase in profile
references to Docker in just the past year alone, indicating Docker has
become a much bigger priority for IT professionals looking for work. With
this technology primed to continue its exponential growth in the coming
years, here's a Q&A; rundown of the basics: consider it Containers 101.
What are containers, exactly? And why are they so rapidly grabbing developer
market share from virtual machines?
In order to better understand containers, it's helpful to consider them in
contrast to virtual machines.

Oct. 15, 2017 12:30 PM EDT Reads: 1,057 | By Elizabeth White  Companies are harnessing data in ways we once associated with science fiction. Analysts have access to a plethora of visualization and reporting tools, but considering the vast amount of data businesses collect and limitations of CPUs, end users are forced to design their structures and systems with limitations.
Until now. As the cloud toolkit to analyze data has evolved, GPUs have stepped in to massively parallel SQL, visualization and machine learning. Oct. 15, 2017 12:30 PM EDT Reads: 574 | By Elizabeth White  DevOps is under attack because developers don’t want to mess with infrastructure. They will happily own their code into production, but want to use platforms instead of raw automation. That’s changing the landscape that we understand as DevOps with both architecture concepts (CloudNative) and process redefinition (SRE).

With major technology companies and startups seriously embracing Cloud strategies, now is the perfect time to attend 21st Cloud Expo October 31 - November 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, and June 12-14, 2018, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY, and learn what is going on, contribute to the discussions, and ensure that your enterprise is on the right path to Digital Transformation.
Smart cities have the potential to change our lives at so many levels for citizens: less pollution, reduced parking obstacles, better health, education and more energy savings. Real-time data streaming and the Internet of Things (IoT) possess the power to turn this vision into a reality. However, most organizations today are building their data infrastructure to focus solely on addressing immediate business needs vs. a platform capable of quickly adapting emerging technologies to address future business challenges. 
Most technology leaders, contemporary and from the hardware era, are reshaping their businesses to do software. They hope to capture value from emerging technologies such as IoT, SDN, and AI. Ultimately, irrespective of the vertical, it is about deriving value from independent software applications participating in an ecosystem as one comprehensive solution. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Kausik Sridhar, founder and CTO of Pulzze Systems, will discuss how given the magnitude of today's application ecosystem, tweaking existing software to stitch various components together leads to sub-optimal ...
Digital innovation is the next big wave of business transformation based on digital technologies of which IoT and Big Data are key components, For example:
Business boundary innovation is a challenge to excavate third-party business value using IoT and BigData, like Nest
Business structure innovation may propose re-building business structure from scratch, as Uber does in the taxicab industry
The social model innovation is also a big challenge to the new social architecture with the design from the ground up of a data-driven ecosystem, as Google promotes its self-driving car project

Enterprises have taken advantage of IoT to achieve important revenue and cost advantages. What is less apparent is how incumbent enterprises operating at scale have, following success with IoT, built analytic, operations management and software development capabilities – ranging from autonomous vehicles to manageable robotics installations. They have embraced these capabilities as if they were Silicon Valley startups.
As a result, many firms employ new business models that place enormous importance on software-based innovations. They require not only skilled occupations, such as data analyst...

It takes years – sometimes a lifetime – to perfect certain skills in life: hitting a jump shot off the dribble, nailing that double high C on the trumpet, parallel parking a Ford Expedition. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book, “Outliers,” discussing the amount of work – 10,000 hours – required to perfect a skill (while the exactness of 10,000 hours has come under debate, it is still a useful point that people need to invest considerable time and effort to master a skill). But once we get comfortable with something that we feel that we have mastered, we become reluctant to change. We are reluctant t...
Web-scale networking, also known as hyperscale, is a concept that has been popularized by companies like Google, Netflix and Facebook, who adopted this model for its proven cost economics, resiliency, scalability, and in some cases, better performance for large companies.
In recent months, the web-scale strategy has begun to gain the attention of enterprises in response to the changing data center landscape and growth of compute-heavy, complex technologies like AI, machine learning, and big data analytics initiatives. What should IT pros know about web-scale? 
Okay, so my vacations don’t necessary seem like other folks’ vacations. Yes, we relax. Yes, we spend too much money. Yes, we eat too much food. But for some reason, unusual learning opportunities pop up during our vacations, and this year’s vacation was no different. This year’s vacation theme was… logistics.
Our logistics foray started by watching the artsy-fartsy movie “The Lunchbox.” I hate artsy-fartsy movies, but my wife insists on watching them on vacation. The movie was excellent. However, I was totally mesmerized by the lunchbox delivery system that was a featured part of the movie. T...
These days, APIs have become an integral part of the digital transformation journey for all enterprises. Every digital innovation story is connected to APIs . But have you ever pondered over to know what are the source of these APIs? Let me explain - APIs sources can be varied, internal or external, solving different purposes, but mostly categorized into the following two categories. Data lakes is a term used to represent disconnected but relevant data that are used by various business units within an enterprise. APIs are created as the easy access points for these siloed data lakes.
