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 rapid pace for the next several
decades.
With major technology companies and startups seriously embracing IoT
strategies, now is the perfect time to attend @ThingsExpo in Silicon Valley.

Extend User Experience of WebRTC with Unique Sensor Devices
WebRTC is great technology to build your own communication tools. It will be
even more exciting experience it with advanced devices, such as a 360 Camera,
360 microphone, and a depth sensor camera.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Masashi Ganeko, a manager at INFOCOM
Corporation, will introduce two experimental projects from his team and what
they learned from them.

In recent months, we’ve ‘tested the limits’ with QA notables like
James Whittaker, Rosie Sherry and Andrew Muns. This month, we’re jumping
over to the dev side of the aisle by sitting down with Jack Margo, SVP of
Internet Operations at Developer Shed .
Developer Shed is owned by Ziff-Davis and manages a bunch of tech sites —
many devoted to open source technologies and communities. They serve
millions of visitors per month, for every breed of developer. Topics range
from troubleshooting an Apache web server to programming a complicated Java
application to successfully marketing a website. Their tagline says it all:
“Tools for Geeks!”
Today, we talk about what developers really think about testers, Jack’s
take on Microsoft vs. open source, the reason he’s mad at Java, why net
books are a fad, and which programming language has the biggest upside.

Development of enterprise Flex/Java rich Internet applications benefits from
using automated data integration solutions and productivity tools.
Currently Adobe offers LiveCycle Data Services ES2 (LCDS) and open source
BlazeDS 3.
While LCDS is certainly a great piece of software for those who are looking
to support thousands of concurrent users via the most efficient communication
protocols, its high licensing cost makes LCDS unaffordable for the vast
majority of the enterprise applications let alone small businesses and
startups.
If you are looking for an alternative solution for integrating Flex and Java
EE layers, consider using GraniteDS, WebOrb, and Clear Toolkit.
The first two products offer their own implementation of the AMF protocol,
and Clear Toolkit uses the AMF libraries that come with BlazeDS . If you are

Feb. 12, 2018 06:30 PM EST Reads: 1,937 | By Jason Bloomberg  Imagine if you will, a retail floor so densely packed with sensors that they can pick up the movements of insects scurrying across a store aisle. Or a component of a piece of factory equipment so well-instrumented that its digital twin provides resolution down to the micrometer. Feb. 12, 2018 02:30 PM EST Reads: 508 | By Elizabeth White  When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it’s simply not feasible to do so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple application or transport protocols, you would be...

Feb. 8, 2018 05:15 AM EST Reads: 2,190 | By Pat Romanski  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 lead... Feb. 8, 2018 12:00 AM EST Reads: 9,474 | By Liz McMillan  Digital Transformation (DX) is not a "one-size-fits all" strategy. Each organization needs to develop its own unique, long-term DX plan. It must do so by realizing that we now live in a data-driven age, and that technologies such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, the IoT, Cognitive Computing, and Blockchain are only tools.

From manual human effort the world is slowly paving its way to a new space where most process are getting replaced with tools and systems to improve efficiency and bring down operational costs. Automation is the next big thing and low code platforms are fueling it in a significant way.
The Automation era is here. We are in the fast pace of replacing manual human efforts with machines and processes. In the world of Information Technology too, we are linking disparate systems, softwares and tool...
"Grape Up leverages Cloud Native technologies and helps companies build software using microservices, and work the DevOps agile way. We've been doing digital innovation for the last 12 years," explained Daniel Heckman, of Grape Up in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
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. Tha...
Kubernetes is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes was originally built by Google, leveraging years of experience with managing container workloads, and is now a Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) project. Kubernetes has been widely adopted by the community, supported on all major public and private cloud providers, and is gaining rapid adoption in enterprises. However, Kubernetes may seem intimidating and complex ...
With continuous delivery (CD) almost always in the spotlight, continuous integration (CI) is often left out in the cold. Indeed, it's been in use for so long and so widely, we often take the model for granted. So what is CI and how can you make the most of it? This blog is intended to answer those questions.
Before we step into examining CI, we need to look back. Software developers often work in small teams and modularity, and need to integrate their changes with the rest of the project code b...
The need in agility and scalibility neccecisited the evolution on software development from monolithic to microservices to serverless architecture.
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 ...
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).
Rob Hirschfeld’s recent work in Kubernetes operations has led to the conclusion that containers and related platforms have changed the way we should be thinking about DevOps and...
The use of containers by developers -- and now increasingly IT operators -- has grown from infatuation to deep and abiding love. But as with any long-term affair, the honeymoon soon leads to needing to live well together ... and maybe even getting some relationship help along the way. And so it goes with container orchestration and automation solutions, which are rapidly emerging as the means to maintain the bliss between rapid container adoption and broad container use among multiple cloud host...
As many know, the first generation of Cloud Management Platform (CMP) solutions were designed for managing virtual infrastructure (IaaS) and traditional applications. But that's no longer enough to satisfy evolving and complex business requirements.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Scott Davis, Embotics CTO, explored how next-generation CMPs ensure organizations can manage cloud-native and microservice-based application architectures, while also facilitating agile DevOps methodology. He expla...
