Taking a Data First Approach to Real Time Applications
To get the most out of their data, successful companies are not focusing on
queries and data lakes, they are actively integrating analytics into their
operations with a data-first application development approach. Real-time
adjustments to improve revenues, reduce costs, or mitigate risk rely on
applications that minimize latency on a variety of data sources.

Continuous Testing versus Test Automation: What's the Difference?
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
The past few years have brought a sea change in the way applications are
architected, developed, and consumed-increasing both the complexity of
testing and the business impact of software failures.
How can software testing professionals keep pace with modern application
delivery, given the trends that impact both architectures (cloud,
microservices, and APIs) and processes (DevOps, agile, and continuous
delivery)? This is where continuous testing comes in.
In his session at DevOps Summit at Cloud Expo, Anand Akela, Vice President of
Product Marketing at Tricentis, discussed why and how continuous testing is
different from traditional test automation.

Getting Public Cloud Benefits Without Public Cloud Drawbacks
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?
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 public cloud, and without the pitfalls.
Composable infrastructure is an emerging data center architectur... (more)
What Is Intelligent Automation and What Does It Mean for Workload Automation?
By Yann Guernion
While Artificial Intelligence (AI) may not be a new concept, its contribution
to automation may just change the face of business. AI's conception dates as
far back as 1950, when Alan Turing proposed the Turing test in order to
evaluate a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior. Fast-forward a
couple of decades and research led to the creation of well-known theoretical
tools such as Fuzzy Logic, Bayesian Networks, Markov Models and Neural
Networks. Concurrently, new types of programming languages such as Prolog,
LISP and Smalltalk set the scene for most of the modern interpreted languages
used today.
Today's focus on AI is driven by a remarkable synchronicity of elements that
one could call an alignment of the (digital) planets: Big data makes massive
amounts of u... (more)

In a recent post, titled "10 Surprising Facts About Cloud Computing and What
It Really Is", Zac Johnson highlighted some interesting facts about cloud
computing in the SMB marketplace:
Cloud Computing is up to 40 times more cost-effective for an SMB, compared to
running its own IT system. 94% of SMBs have experienced security benefits in
the cloud that they didn't have with their on-premises service Recovery times
for SMB are four times faster for businesses using cloud computing when
compared to those not utilizing cloud services. For SMB, energy use and
carbon emissions could be cut by 90% by using cloud computing, saving the
environment and energy costs.
These advantages show a strong indication that SMB information technology
should be dominated by the adoption of cloud computing services. Although
one of the most prominent of these cloud services is Microsoft'... (more)

Gaining visibility in today’s sprawling cloud infrastructure is complex and laborious, involving drilling down into tools offered by various cloud services providers. Enterprise IT organizations need smarter and effective tools at their disposal in order to address this pertinent problem. Gaining a 360 - degree view of the cloud costs requires collection and analysis of the cost data across all cloud infrastructures used inside an enterprise.
The high barrier to entry prevents many companies from tapping into the full potential of machine learning. But what if you could make it more accessible?
We’re in the midst of a data explosion, with today’s enterprises amassing goldmines of information (25 quintillion bytes of data every day, according to some reports). But what exactly are they doing with this data? Considering the volume of data being collected is quickly becoming unmanageable, now is a good time to shift from manual machine learning to a cognitive approach. This enables businesses to better capitalize on their data and fa...
Blockchain offers impeccable security with its cryptography-based decentralized system as well as the plethora of possible uses retailers could exploit in the near future.
In a world of increasing cyberattacks, internet fraud and online hacking, blockchain comes as a breath of fresh air.

This paper provides a logical overview of the Microservices Reference Architecture that highlights various sub systems needed to support Microservic...
Our work, both with clients and with tools, has lead us to wonder how it is that organizations are handling compliance issues in the cloud. The big cloud vendors offer compliance for their infrastructure, but the shared responsibility model requires that you take certain steps to meet compliance requirements. Which lead us to start poking around a little more. We wanted to get a picture of what was available, and how it was being used. There is a lot of fluidity in this space, as in all things cloud. The fact that DevOps Security plays into the cloud compliance model – particularly in dynamic ...
The notion of improving operational efficiency is conspicuously absent from the healthcare debate - neither Obamacare nor the newly proposed GOP plan discusses the impact that a step-function improvement in efficiency could have on access to healthcare (through more capacity), quality of healthcare services (through reduced wait times for patients) or cost (through better utilization of scarce, expensive assets).
In an attempt to put the patient first in healthcare, Congress and President Obama in 2015 approved a bipartisan bill for United States healthcare reform. The bill is known as “Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015,” or MACRA. Among the major provisions of MACRA is the Quality Payment Program. Under the Quality Payment Program, physicians and nurses receive positive, neutral or negative Medicare payment adjustments based upon a “Patient Satisfaction Score,” that is, patient satisfaction scores have a direct impact on how physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and hospital’s g...
The “Internet of Things” is an exciting area of tech, one in which industry experts estimate there will be more than 30 billion connected IoT devices by 2020.

Most of us understand that artificial intelligence (AI) offers opportunities for productivity improvements in the form of speed, automation, standardized actions and responses, plus the opportunity for continuous improvements via machine learning. These opportunities are enabled by data inputs that are analyzed and processed through AI algorithms that execute a desired decision and action. For all of the great capabilities and benefits that AI can provide, there is also a potential dark side. AI solutions can easily codify our prejudices, bias, gender stereotypes and promote injustices intenti...
Gone are the days when application development was the daunting task of the highly skilled developers backed with strong IT skills, low code application development has democratized app development and empowered a new generation of citizen developers.
There was a time when app development was in the domain of people with complex coding and technical skills. We called these people by various names like programmers, coders, techies, and they usually worked in a world oblivious of the everyday priorities of the business world. However, with the passage of time, this scenario is much more democr...
It’s conference season and, as you might expect, Jason and I have been on the road covering a bunch of them. It’s always great to see what the disruptive players in the market are doing — and this year did not disappoint. But there is one thing that repeatedly happens that just gets under my skin: transformation-washing.
As Jason explained in a Forbes article over a year ago, ‘washing’ is when a vendor (or pundit) applies a buzzword loosely in an overt attempt to attach themselves to its buzz. And transformation-washing is rampant.
Networks have become large, complex entities that are increasingly difficult to manage and control. Security, audit, risk and compliance professionals know that their organizations rely on them for effective risk management, control and governance processes that are essential to the safety of their network environment. Yet compliance and security are more challenging than ever before as additional layers are added to this environment.
One of the challenges lies in the fact that there is an ongoing, huge access gap in network security and compliance – and it has been residing within the enviro...
