Are You Thinking About Big Data When Doing IoT? - You Should Be
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'). When we are looking at the world of
IoT, we should take a step back, look at the big picture. What value are
these devices providing? IoT is not about the devices, it's about the data
consumed and generated. The devices are tools, mechanisms, conduits.
In his session at Internet of Things at Cloud Expo | DXWorld Expo, Ed
Featherston, VP, Principal Architect at Cloud Technology Partners, will
discuss the considerations when dealing with the massive amount of
information associated with these devices.

Will Supply Chain Be the Breakout Blockchain Use Case for 2018?
Supply Chain. Logistics. Provenance. Hot topics around the dinner table with
the family I am sure. Okay, maybe not so much. Even so, these all impact our
lives daily, while we may be blissfully unaware of it. Take the dinner table
for example. That savory grilled salmon filet on your plate may have come all
the way from China. Those carrots and asparagus? Possibly shipped in from
Peru. The fresh (out of season) fruit? Chile or Mexico could have been the
origination point. What gets all those items from their source to your dinner
table, while they are still fresh, is all about the supply chain.
Food is a great example to discuss because it is time critical. The product
must travel a vast distance, change hands many times, cross borders, pass
various inspections and reviews, customs forms, shipping from in... (more)

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.

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

In both cases, the cloud has become a key enabler to embrace this digital

legacy applications.

Shifting Left on Development with Experimentation
As applications become more complex and codebases grow, companies are forced
to implement more comprehensive quality safeguards which slow the rate at
which they can deliver new software. At the same time, the companies that
prevail in this winner-take-all economy are those that can accelerate
software delivery while providing a high caliber of quality.

High-velocity engineering teams are applying not only continuous delivery
processes, but also lessons in experimentation from established leaders like
Amazon, Netflix, and Facebook. These companies have made experimentation a
foundation for their release processes, allowing them to try out major
feature releases and redesigns within smaller groups before making them
broadly available.

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.
In his general session at 21st Cloud Expo, Andrew Hately, an IBM
Distinguished Engineer, discussed how 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

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.

The Path Towards a Future-Ready Finance
Digital transformation has increased the pace of business creating a
productivity divide between the technology haves and have nots. Managing
financial information on spreadsheets and piecing together insight from

legacy technology investments in search of modern technologies to achieve
greater agility, reduced costs and organizational efficiencies. In this

This week I had the privilege of interviewing Christine Ashton, SAP's Global CDO, Digital Office, ERP Cloud. In this interview, we dig deep into her insights on digital transformation, AI, automation and the economic case for running ERPs in the cloud, plus what it takes to win in a fast changing technology environment. Enjoy! 
"We do one of the best file systems in the world. We learned how to deal with Big Data many years ago and we implemented this knowledge into our software," explained Jakub Ratajczak, Business Development Manager at MooseFS, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8 in New York City, NY.
"We are still a relatively small software house and we are focusing on certain industries like FinTech, med tech, energy and utilities. We help our customers with their digital transformation," noted Piotr Stawinski, Founder and CEO of EARP Integration, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8 in New York City, NY.
Many factors are contributing to the endlessly increasing volumes of data that organizations must now deal with, including cloud-based infrastructure and virtualization. This data contains a wealth of information that enterprises can use to transform their businesses, but first, a place for it must be found. Software-defined storage (SDS) has been gaining ground because it is highly flexible as well as affordable.
Two weeks ago (November 3-5), I attended the Cloud Expo Silicon Valley as a speaker, where I presented on the security and privacy due diligence requirements for cloud solutions. Cloud security is a topical issue for every CIO, CISO, and technology buyer. Decision-makers are always looking for insights on how to mitigate the security risks of implementing and using cloud solutions. Based on the presentation topics covered at the conference, as well as the general discussions heard between sessions, I wanted to share some of my observations on emerging trends. As cyber security serves as a foun...
Last year was another banner year for security breaches, sad but true. At times it felt like a week did not go by without the announcement of another large corporate security breach (that usually happened sometime in the past) and the personal information of millions of people was potentially at risk. One breach in particular stands out to me. The Equifax breach that occurred last September. Approximately 145 million individuals' personal information had potentially been acquired by the hackers.
