Shots Across the Data Lake
In the Old West, farmers and ranchers fought range wars over water access. Now, Big Data is the new Water and there is growing tension between Business Intelligence farmers and Data Science ranchers over how the new data lake should be managed and used. SoMoClo (social, mobile, cloud) technologies and the torrent of Big Data they bring create new analytic opportunities, but taking advantage of them will requires new tools and may require new rules.
My Journey to DevOps Enlightenment
I am honored that the Cloud Expo conference organizers have asked me to be the Tech Chair for DevOps Summit 2014. The positive response from so many people I respect has been wonderful. Thank you to all who sent good wishes – it means a lot to me to have your support.
Part of what makes this an exciting opportunity for me is that I expect my past experience and attitude will reflect the experience and attitudes of many DevOps Summit 2014 attendees.
For example, I was once a DevOps ‘noob’ (newb? n00b?) and expect many attendees will be similarly naïve. In the four years since my first skeptical DevOps post (when I was still an independent analyst, and DevOps didn’t even have a Wikipedia entry), reactions from ‘the movement’ have ranged from petty insults to good-humored ribbing and frequently educational commentary. However, as I said in the press release, «I have seen both firsthand and in independent research the fantastic results DevOps delivers.» At DevOps Summit 2014, I hope to share with other DevOps noobs and skeptics some of the insights that turned me into a fan.

How Safe Is the Cloud?
How can your business benefit from using the cloud? We hear the term all the time in the tech world, but it’s never really clearly defined. Those of us who are using social media or saving data with online sources are already using it. Perhaps you just didn’t know it. Amazon is one of the largest cloud service centers. It houses information on behalf of Netflix, Dropbox and Autodesk. Other remote servers are Google, Microsoft and Rackspace.
AppZero WS03 EOS Survey Reveals Vulnerability
AppZero, the fastest way to move enterprise applications, today announced the results of its first «State of Readiness for Windows Server 2003 End of Support (EOS)» survey. The 2013 results of more than 200 Fortune 1,000 companies show that 40% of respondents wish to move to the cloud as part of their EOS remediation efforts.
The full results of the survey are available here and indicate that with eighteen months until support ends, the majority of respondents still have significant numbers of machines running WS2003. Security compliance and vulnerability management are a major concern and many organizations are not aware of or prepared to deal with the impending challenge.
The Impact of Micro-Architectures and APIs on Data Center Network Design
Application development trends significantly impact the design of data center networks. Today there are two trends driving a variety of transformation in the network: API dominance and micro-architectures. Combined with a tendency for network operations to protect its critical infrastructure from potentially disruptive change, these trends are driving toward an emerging «app network» tier in the data center that is software-defined.
This «app network» can be realized in one of two ways: through the deployment of application proxies, or via an application service fabric. The choice comes down to how integrated devops and network teams really are, and whether or not you have a service fabric available. If you do, it’s a good solution as it affords the same flexibility as application proxies while removing platform-level management from devops shoulders. Only services need be configured, managed and deployed. An application proxy, too, is a good option and gives devops and developers complete control over the platform and the network-hosted domain services.

The Top Five Benefits of Cloud Computing
Storing important information around the office has always been the go-to format for saving essential data. Of course, having it somewhere on hand provides peace of mind, as you know it is literally held within your building, so when someone needs a hard copy, you are able to go out and locate this exact content for them. However, there are so many other problems you might run into with localized storage, so whether you are having an office holiday party and someone accidentally spills a drink over a stack of files, or while organizing your business an individual drops a computer, completely damaging the hard drive forever, you don’t have to completely panic and wonder how you will ever obtain the files again. Instead of dealing with any or all of these situations, you just need to utilize cloud computing. Companies, such as Governor Business Solutions has the professional cloud computing assistance you might need, but before you go and sign up for the services, it is always better to know exactly how cloud computing is able to improve your office, production and overall quality of service.
