The cloud provides two major advantages to load and performance procedures
that help testing teams better model realistic behavior: instant
infrastructure and geographic location. Cloud-based load testing also lowers
the total cost of ownership, increases flexibility and allows testers to
understand the impact of third-party components. So you're sold on using the
cloud; here's what you should look for in a cloud-based load testing
solution.
One of the most dangerous moves software developers and testers can make is
being lulled into a false sense of security. For example, when application
features and performance levels meet expectations during pre-production, only
to crash and burn when presented to real users in production.
In that same vein, if your organization has any kind of performance testing
strategy, chances are you're conducting load testing. However, yo... (more)

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)
Bitcoins are a digital cryptocurrency and have been around since 2009. As a
substitute for legal tender, they are becoming a rage for investors and
others but because there is no government agency auditing or performing
regulatory oversights, you wonder if it is the perfect breeding ground for
electronic nanocrime?
Since the introduction of the Bitcoin, some competitors have emerged and the
whole segment of cryptocurrencies are defined as Altcoins. Altcoins include:
Dogecoin, Ethereum, Feathercoin, Litecoin, Monero, Novacoin, Peercoin, and
Zetacoin. Some of these cryptocurrencies are considered improvements on the
original Bitcoin algorithm structure, and they are gaining some traction as
well.
Some financial experts and analysts, including Warren Buffett and Ben Stein,
are leery of the overall cryptocurrency market. Is it because it doesn't fit

Every year about this time, we gaze into crystal balls to divine the future
of our industry - or at least where it's headed over the next 365 days. The
result is often a triumph of incrementalism: we predict that we will get more
of what we already have. The truth is, technology isn't as revolutionary as
we often think - and commenting on incremental changes alone may not help us
understand what lies ahead.
Along with a few near-term predictions - so hard to resist - I'd also like to
make some predictions not just about technology per se, but about related
changes to organizations, processes, and the cultures around them. Here's my
main prediction: By 2030 what we've come to know as "IT" today will be
virtually unrecognizable.
No-code software will drive truly distributed technology

@CloudExpo Stories By Yeshim Deniz  DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete.

To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs.

By 2020, 90 percent of all new cars will have some sort of built-in connectivity platform, and by 2022, there will be 1.8 billion automotive M2M connections. As cars join the Internet of Things, cars will stop being independent entities and will become part of a larger, connected ecosystem. Cars as part of the IoT isn’t just a look into the future – it’s already happening.

Decentralization of everything, the great new idea of which the web can’t stop babbling, might still seem a bit utopian if you inspect it closely.
Yes, blockchains are likely to reshape our economy, or a huge part of it, and benefit considerably those who are currently unbanked.
They might also facilitate the creation of rating/reputation systems that are not controlled by any single entity and thus allow people (say Uber drivers who’d like to work for Lyft) to switch employers without having to establish their credibility anew.
They might give users complete control over their assets; prot...

When talking IoT we often focus on the devices, the sensors, the hardware itself. The new smart appliances, the new smart or self-driving cars (which are amalgamations of many ‘things').

IoT is not about the devices, its about the data consumed and generated. The devices are tools, mechanisms, conduits. This paper discusses the considerations when dealing with the massive amount of information associated with these devices. Ed presented sought out sessions at Cl...

We are given a desktop platform with Java 8 or Java 9 installed and seek to find a way to deploy high-performance Java applications that use Java 3D and/or Jogl without having to run an installer. We are subject to the constraint that the applications be signed and deployed so that they can be run in a trusted environment (i.e., outside of the sandbox). Further, we seek to do this in a way that does not depend on bundling a JRE with our applications, as this makes downloads and installations rather long.
