Organizations around the world are struggling to cope with the current data
explosion. A vital characteristic of this data is that it is unstructured and
represents things like email, images, and videos. Storage of this form of
data is typically in an object format which differs significantly from the
database norm. Databases housed data grows very slowly because most of it is
structured. Object storage formats are now being used to optimize access to
large amounts of non-transactional files across a growing number of vertical
markets.
These markets include:
Media and Entertainment - video Pre- through Post-Production which requires
secure distribution and hassle-free scalability on a mix of standard hardware
Retail Consumers - HTTP accessible Photo and Video Sharing that offloads SQL
databases to custom metadata which significantly reduces web applications

How much does it cost to make an app is almost as popular a question as it is
confusing.
No one tries to learn the exact costs of, say, making a movie: people realize
that there's an overwhelming amount of variables involved on which they
depend.
But almost every day a new inquiry is posted on a tech forum, Quora, or
Reddit, as to how much it'd take to build a mobile business app.
Such calculation, in many ways, is even harder to make.
Is there a way to tackle the question properly?
First we want you to understand that any exact figures couldn't possibly be
given straight away, without the details, and that all the so-called online
app development cost calculators are, essentially, just marketing baits.
That said, there is still some info you can analyze to get a frame of
reference; to get a rough idea about a budget you can squeeze an app in.
Here's what you should ... (more)

How You Can Ride the Artificial Intelligence Wave
By Mark Armstrong
From government to retail to oil and gas, it seems like everyone is exploring
how to use AI in their industry or business. It’s time for you to do the
same.
There’s no question that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on a lot of
people’s minds these days, and is beginning to grow rapidly in adoption.
Quoting Accenture, Forbes reports AI-driven productivity gains of perhaps 40%
by 2035, and publications like the New York Times are noting the buzz, even
as they ask, why now? Even if you don’t think you’ll be adopting AI for
yourself just yet, you need to at least consider the broader impact the
technology will have on your industry or organization, and be prepared for a
changing environment.
If you’re wondering “why now?” yourself, check out our blog post,

The Five Key Elements to Build, Deploy and Operationalize Artificial
Intelligence at Scale
The question before companies today is not whether to become intelligent,

intelligence.

We just came off of a review of a product that handles both containers and
virtual machines in the same interface. Under the covers, implementation of
containers defaults to LXC, though recently Docker support was added.
When reading online, or searching for information, increasingly we see
“Container Management” products listed as competitors to Docker, when in
reality things like Rocket, LXC/LXD, and Virtualization are Dockers
competitors.
After doing some looking around, we have decided that this shift in how
Docker is perceived in the market is due largely to the fact that it is easy
to set up and begin using. Inevitably, if the Docker install is large enough,
something like Docker Enterprise Edition, Kubernetes, Apache Mesos/DCOS will
be required to container management, but for the entry level, “container
management” has less stringent requirements.

Since releasing the University of San Francisco research paper on “How to Determine the Economic Value of Your Data” (EvD), I have had numerous conversations with senior executives about the business and technology ramifications of EvD. Now with the release of Doug Laney’s “Infonomics” book that builds upon Doug’s EvD work at Gartner, I expect these conversations to intensify. In fact, I just traveled to Switzerland to discuss the potential business and technology ramifications of EvD with the management team of a leading European Telecommunications company.
The Federal Communications Commission announced that it will vote on December 14 to enact the exceptionally misleadingly titled “Restoring Internet Freedom” order. If passed, it will do the opposite of restoring anything resembling freedom — it will repeal the current net neutrality rules which were enacted to ensure that Americans would have equal access to the Internet.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re already interested in the topic. Still, some quick background:
Renamed “Open Internet” a while back, net neutrality provided a regulatory framework that specifically prohibited:...
Digital technologies have altered how people and businesses interact. The potential for dislocation from ongoing digital transformation has created unprecedented levels of C-suite discussion. The decisive market leaders have heeded the warnings and taken bold actions.
That said, if you’re one of those Chief Technology Officers (CTO) that previously responded to this scenario by making small incremental adjustments to your IT agenda, then you’re potentially at risk. Any relief from those prior tweaks tend to be short lived. The same issues will likely resurface.
So data warehousing may not be cool anymore, you say? It’s yesterday’s technology (or 1990’s technology if you’re as old as me) that served yesterday’s business needs. And while it’s true that recent big data and data science technologies, architectures and methodologies seems to have rendered data warehousing to the back burner, it is entirely false that there is not a critical role for the data warehouse and Business Intelligence in digitally transformed organizations.

Over the last few years, the Internet of things (IoT) has become a trending phrase for consumers and a top priority for businesses embarking on their digital transformation. Even with the growth and interest in IoT however, the meaning can still confuse people.
So, what is IoT? IoT is a network of things connected to the internet and is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system. These “things” may include a variety of devices like home appliances, commercial vending machines, fitness trackers, industrial gateways, connected cars, and smart factories.
I love it when I get feedback from a blog that I’ve written. I appreciate the different perspectives and insights that others bring to a topic of interest. And no blog that I’ve written has drawn more comments than my blog, “Isaac Asimov: The 4th Law of Robotics.”
The section of the blog that fueled the most comments stem from a scene in the movie I, Robot where Detective Spooner (played by Will Smith) is explaining to Doctor Calvin (who is responsible for giving robots human-like behaviors) why he distrusts and hates robots. He is describing an incident where his police car crashed into anot...
The human work of solving problems, facing challenges and overcoming obstacles tends to share a common goal: creating stable, secure and predictable environments.

Digital Transformation is amplifying mainframe as mission critical to business growth more than ever before. With 70% of the world's corporate data and over half of the world's enterprise applications running on mainframe computers, they are at the core of just about every transaction. A single transaction can, in fact, drive up to 100 system interactions. The continued increase in mainframe transaction volumes, growing on average 7-8% a year for 78% of customers, has even led to a new buzzword: The Connected Mainframe.
"Evatronix provides design services to companies that need to integrate the IoT technology in their products but they don't necessarily have the expertise, knowledge and design team to do so," explained Adam Morawiec, VP of Business Development at Evatronix, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
What's disruptive innovation, and why does it matter to leaders in the C-suite? It's how the savvy non-conformist will target market opportunities. How does this happen, when established companies seem to have the advantage? Creative software developers can quickly apply new technologies and digital business models to capture untapped demand.
For what feels like a lifetime, industry analysts and experts have predicted ‘this' will be the year the Internet of Things (IoT) finally takes off, both within industry and for consumers. But, as if by clockwork, each year of ‘guaranteed' IoT explosion has passed - the mass adoption and exploitation of the Internet of Things having failed to materialize.
The IoT vision is almost utopian in its promise: a connected intelligent home or office, offering a simpler more convenient future. Our houses will be populated by smart ‘things'; thermostats that know precisely how warm we like our rooms,...
