Empowering the Enterprise to Take Full Advantage of Everything Azure
The cloud era has reached the stage where it is no longer a question of
whether a company should migrate, but when. Enterprises have embraced the
outsourcing of where their various applications are stored and who manages
them, saving significant investment along the way. Plus, the cloud has become
a defining competitive edge. Companies that fail to successfully adapt risk
failure.
The media, of course, continues to extol the virtues of the cloud, including
how easy it is to get there. Migrating to the cloud is a simple affair - just
call up a cloud provider and your wishes come true. The reality is quite
different, however, as enterprises struggle with a wide variety of migration
issues, from security to overtaxed IT teams and everything in-between.

The need for greater agility and scalability necessitated the digital
transformation in the form of following equation: monolithic to microservices
to serverless architecture (FaaS). To keep up with the cut-throat
competition, the organisations need to update their technology stack to make
software development their differentiating factor.
Thus microservices architecture emerged as a potential method to provide
development teams with greater flexibility and other advantages, such as the
ability to deliver applications at warp speed using infrastructure as a
service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) environments.
The emergence of microservice was to break the monolithic applications into
smaller services, with each one of them having their own business logic. With
a monolithic architecture, a single faulty service can bring down the entire
app server and all t... (more)

How Serverless Computing Changes Cloud, and Your Job
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.

Low-Code Platforms in the Era of Automation
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, software and tools to make things
self-sustaining. This is called automation. It has been helping companies
overcome the hurdles of traditional methodologies and optimize operations. It
has helped many enterprises achieve greater levels of efficiency and quality.

The Lean Cloud: The Need for Multi-Cloud DevOps
All clouds are not equal. 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. This is where the
concept of the Lean Cloud comes in - resting on the idea that you often need
to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and
operational efficiency in the cloud.

Bitcoins are a digital cryptocurrency and have been around since 2009. As a substitute for legal tender, they are becoming the 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 nano crime. 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, Novacoin, Peercoin, and Zetacoin. Some of these cryptocurrencies are considered impro...
It took Magellan's crew three years sailing ships to circumnavigate the earth. Today, at hypersonic speeds of 7,680 MPH, it takes just over three hours to circumnavigate the earth. Data on the Internet, however, travels at 670 million MPH, which means it only takes milliseconds to circumnavigate the earth. In this age of digital businesses and digital interactions, companies must digitally transform to work effectively in a world where mass information moves at these unimaginable speeds.
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 looking at some significant engineering investment.

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.

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...
There is a fundamental flaw in how many people think about digital transformation. First, as we’ve written about extensively at Intellyx, people tend to think about it as a finite corporate project, rather than as a process of continual transformation. There is a deeper flaw in thinking, however, that leads to this type of project mentality. Enterprise leaders commonly think of transformation as something done at a corporate level — something the organization does to itself. But that mindset creates a separation between the act of transformation at an organizational level and the transformatio...
These days, APIs have become an integral part of the digital transformation journey for all enterprises. Every digital innovation story is connected to APIs . But have you ever pondered over to know what are the source of these APIs? Let me explain - APIs sources can be varied, internal or external, solving different purposes, but mostly categorized into the following two categories. Data lakes is a term used to represent disconnected but relevant data that are used by various business units within an enterprise. APIs are created as the easy access points for these siloed data lakes.
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.

They also reviewed two "free infrastructure" programs available to startups and innovators. 
There is a war a-brewin’, but this war will be fought with wits and not brute strength.
