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.
Global 2000 companies have more than US$40 trillion in annual revenue - more
than 50% of the world's entire GDP. The Global 2000 spends a total of US$2.4
trillion annually on enterpri... (more)

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.

Shifting Left on Development with Experimentation
As applications become more complex and codebases grow, companies are forced
to implement more comprehensive quality safeguards which slow the rate at
which they can deliver new software. At the same time, the companies that
prevail in this winner-take-all economy are those that can accelerate
software delivery while providing a high caliber of quality.
High-velocity engineering teams are applying not only continuous delivery
processes, but also lessons in experimentation from established leaders like
Amazon, Netflix, and Facebook. These companies have made experimentation a
foundation for their release processes, allowing them to try out major
feature releases and redesigns within smaller groups before making them
broadly available.

End-to-End on the GPU: How to Vastly Parallel SQL, Visualization and Machine
Learning
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.

Today most companies are adopting or evaluating container technology - Docker in particular - to speed up application deployment, drive down cost, ease management and make application delivery more flexible overall.
As with most new architectures, this dream takes significant work to become a reality. Even when you do get your application componentized enough and packaged properly, there are still challenges for DevOps teams to making the shift to continuous delivery and achieving that reduction in cost and increase in speed. Sometimes in order to reduce complexity teams compromise features ...
The next XaaS is CICDaaS. Why? Because CICD saves developers a huge amount of time. CD is an especially great option for projects that require multiple and frequent contributions to be integrated.

When it comes to cloud computing, the ability to turn massive amounts of compute cores on and off on demand sounds attractive to IT staff, who need to manage peaks and valleys in user activity. With cloud bursting, the majority of the data can stay on premises while tapping into compute from public cloud providers, reducing risk and minimizing need to move large files. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Scott Jeschonek, Director of Product Management at Avere Systems, discussed the IT and business benefits that cloud bursting provides, including increased compute capacity, lower IT investment,...
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.
We all know that end users experience the Internet primarily with mobile devices. From an app development perspective, we know that successfully responding to the needs of mobile customers depends on rapid DevOps – failing fast, in short, until the right solution evolves in your customers' relationship to your business. Whether you’re decomposing an SOA monolith, or developing a new application cloud natively, it’s not a question of using microservices – not doing so will be a path to eventual business failure.

Digital transformation leaders have poured tons of money and effort into coding in recent years. And with good reason. To succeed at digital, you must be able to write great code. You also have to build a strong Agile culture so your coding efforts tightly align with market signals and business outcomes.
But if your investments in testing haven’t kept pace with your investments in coding, you’ll lose.
