With IBM, Google, and Microsoft pouring funding into the research of quantum
computing, it's really starting to look like we are going to see the benefits
in the next 5 - 10 years. Google may be just weeks from announcing they
reached the quantum supremacy milestone and IBM may not be far behind
either. Today, I wanted to share my thoughts on how quantum computing may
affect cryptography as we know it.
Effects on cryptography
When we talk about the basic cryptography used for things like TLS when you
access your bank's website, the premise behind securing your data is
surprisingly simple. The certificate uses a public key which is really just a
large number that's the result of multiplying two prime numbers together.
This key has a size typically between 256 bits and 2048 bits. It's quite a
large number. To find the two factors via brute force, in today's classica... (more)
Microservices: Choosing the Right Cloud Services and Tools
We all know that end users experience the internet primarily with mobile
devices. From an app development perspective, we know that successfully
responding to the needs of mobile customers depends on rapid DevOps - failing
fast, in short, until the right solution evolves in your customers'
relationship to your business.
Whether you're decomposing an SOA monolith, or developing a new application
cloud natively, it's not a question of using microservices - not doing so
will be a path to eventual business failure. The real and more difficult
question, in developing microservices-based applications, is this: What's the
best combination of cloud services and tools to use to get the right results
in the specific business situation in which you need to deliver what your end
users' want. Considering that new stream... (more)
Artificial intelligence and machine learning systems are made up of code and
algorithms, and as such, they work as fast as computers can process them.
Often this means massive amounts of learning can be accomplished every second
without stop 24x7x365. Code doesn't need to take weekends off, holidays, or
sick time. Code doesn't get tired. It can recognize complex patterns, areas
of potential improvement and problems in real-time (aka digital-time).
Given these available computing capabilities and speeds, what are executives
to do with AI and machine learning, when we live and operate in relatively
slow human-time, and work within organizations that work at an even slower
pace of organizational-time.
I believe the first step is to admit we have a problem - the problem is a
difference in the speed that computers can operate, and the speeds in which
us humans can pr... (more)

Are Your Business Apps Cloud-Ready?
The "Digital Era" is forcing us to engage with new methods to build, operate

more and more intelligent applications to better engage with the customers,
while creating significant market differentiators.

In both cases, the cloud has become a key enabler to embrace this digital
revolution. So, moving to the cloud is no longer the question; the new
questions are HOW and WHEN. To make this equation even more complex, most of
the time we are dealing with complex portfolios, many including hundreds of
legacy applications.

How Containers Will Usher in a New Era of Cloud Computing
In his keynote at 19th Cloud Expo, Sheng Liang, co-founder and CEO of Rancher
Labs, discussed the technological advances and new business opportunities
created by the rapid adoption of containers. With the success of Amazon Web
Services (AWS) and various open source technologies used to build private
clouds, cloud computing has become an essential component of IT strategy.
However, users continue to face challenges in implementing clouds, as older
technologies evolve and newer ones like Docker containers gain prominence.
He'll explore these challenges and how to address them, while considering how
containers will influence the direction of cloud computing.

Welcome to the Era of Open Analytics
Cloud applications are seeing a deluge of requests to support the exploding
advanced analytics market. "Open analytics" is the emerging strategy to
deliver that data through an open data access layer, in the cloud, to be
directly consumed by external analytics tools and popular programming
languages. An increasing number of data engineers and data scientists use a
variety of platforms and advanced analytics languages such as SAS, R, Python
and Java, as well as frameworks such as Hadoop and Spark. Cloud APIs are
commonly designed to support application integration representing a
disconnect with the analytics ecosystem. These combined trends create
significant demand for a "bring-your-own-analytics" (BYOA) capability for
cloud applications.

Evangelist at Progress... (more)

Seven Criteria for Evaluating a Blockchain Business
The insane world of cryptocurrency may be chock full of schemers, scammers,
and sharks, but there is more to the world of blockchain than crypto.
In fact, the blockchain story is bifurcating, with crypto and all its
craziness on one side, and enterprise blockchain on the other.
While it may be fun to poke our stick at the former, Intellyx’s focus is on
enterprise digital transformation – which means that bona fide
blockchain-based business models are a key part of this ongoing story of
disruption.
Regardless, we receive numerous pitches every day from all manner of
blockchain-based companies, from the most serious to the silliest.
When we set up a briefing with one of them, we need to quickly determine
which camp it belongs in: serious enterprise play or crazy crypto?
