Circles Are Good for the Economy By @Kevin_Jackson | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
Contrary to what your mother may have told you, going in circles is sometimes a good thing. When it comes to our economy, it is actually a great thing.
Throughout history, society has built itself up by transforming raw materials into finished, usable products. This manufacturing process has always been linear in that:
Materials (sand, iron, gold, etc.) are evaluated for purpose and taken from nature.
Modified and refined as necessary, these materials are combined and recombined into the services and products we use every day, until…
Their usefulness to society wanes and the everyday products and services are disposed of in a heap of useless trash.

HPC Cloud Anatomy 101 By @VirtualLeo | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
When it comes to cloud computing, there is no “one size fits all” platform for getting work done. High Performance Computing (HPC) workloads are not web applications. Thankfully, there are clouds specifically designed for running HPC workloads rather than web applications.
No matter what type of work they do, all clouds have «Cloud Controllers» which put resources to work, and often feature load balancing and metering capabilities. An HPC Cloud uses a Job Scheduler to assign work when requested. Basically, this puts work in queues for future execution on appropriate resources. Jobs are then run as resources become available.
Recurring Revenue Systems Performance By @AriaSystemsInc | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
Are you satisfied with your recurring revenue systems?
Aria recently sponsored a first-of-its kind study that found: while 80 percent of companies are satisfied overall with their recurring revenue business, over 66 percent of organizations are looking for better performance from the operations that support them.
The results detailed from Ventana Research’s survey of finance and IT professionals highlight the value enterprises place on a recurring revenue business for increasing the top line and improving customer engagement, but also reveal that satisfaction with systems and processes used to support the business declines the closer respondents are to their recurring revenue operations.

Top DevOps Tools We Love By @Dynatrace | @DevOpsSummit [#DevOps]
The word DevOps is a portmanteau of “development” and “operations”. However, anyone who knows “The Phoenix Project” by Gene Kim et al. will agree that its radius is much wider than what the term suggests: it’s a melting pot that combines principles from Agile Software Development and Lean Manufacturing with the aim to reduce friction and improve collaboration by honing a culture of communication, respect and trust across Product Management, Development, Testing, IT Operations, Information Security, Marketing, Sales and Technical Support departments, as well as to continuously improve organizational performance. Aside from the social, DevOps also has a technological side to it: tooling. Picking the right tools that support or even fully automate software development, testing and delivery processes empower everyone involved in getting things done more effectively and efficiently, lessen the risk of the human factor, reduce waste and allow for a vastly improved time to market.
What Anthem & Sony Could Have Done Differently By @IanKhanLive [#Cloud]
They say that you are only as secure as your weakest firewall. But then is it just firewalls that protect our network and the information therein, or is it the framework the policies and the processes that have cracks that let the vulnerabilities seep through?
Hackers will be hackers and you really can’t blame anything on them. They are doing what they are meant to do. i.e Hack. Now that’s a completely different topic as to why unethical hacking is bad and so on. That’s next time. Right now, let’s talk about what we can do on our side. In addition to getting the best IT security systems, firewalls, more firewalls, anti-hacking everything and so on, it’s also essential that with moving times, or let’s say more intelligent hackers, address the foundations of the problem. Here are three best practices to consider.
Put Your Data in the Driver’s Seat By @MadhukarKumar | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
Are your applications getting in the way of your business strategy? It’s time to rethink your IT approach.
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Madhukar Kumar, Vice President, Product Management at Liaison Technologies, will discuss a new data-centric approach to IT that allows your data, not applications, to inform business strategy. By moving away from an application-centric IT model where data integration and analysis are subservient to the constraints of applications, your organization will be better poised to integrate data regardless of source, volume, and variation.
How to Get More ROI from Big Data By @NitinBandugula | @BigDataExpo [#BigData]
Utilizing data-driven intelligence across the enterprise requires solutions that enable interactive, self-service ways of working with historical and near real-time data. Core Hadoop platform has already solved many of the fundamental (legacy) Big Data access and availability problems. With the addition of standalone query engine Apache Drill, data analysts finally have the freedom to follow their data queries easily across multiple data sources, on demand.
