The CEO Is Dead, Long Live the CIO & CEO By @ABridgwater [#Cloud #BigData]
Perhaps not quite as clear-cut as a logical AND in the programmatic sense, but the age of the CEO as we once knew it could be over.
There’s a simple reason for this, CIOs (and yes of course we do mean Chief Information Officers) are starting to run their operations as business entities in their own right.
In no way detracting from the popular assertion that IT has to “progress from simply being a function in the business to now become a business enabling function in and of itself” (as the expression goes)… there’s an even deeper truth to realize.
Tune into the Cloud: Dock of the Bay By @GregorPetri | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
No trend is currently as hot as containers and particularly the popular container management system Docker. Although arguably just maturing, it has already reached almost mythical proportions of cloud hype. Docker would make virtualization superfluous, replace PaaS all together and thanks to unparalleled portability will put a final end to decades of platform and vendor lock-in. As a result there currently is no start-up or cloud provider who has not incorporated Docker prominently in its 2015 strategy.
.@CommVault Launches Endpoint Data Protection | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
CommVault has launched Simpana for Endpoint Data Protection, a new solution set designed to help protect and enable the mobile workforce by efficiently backing-up laptops, desktops and mobile devices and providing secure access and self-service capabilities.
With today’s mobile workforce increasing their reliance on information saved on local endpoints and outside IT’s traditional domain, the need to protect sensitive data residing on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices has become more critical than ever before. As global data breaches reach an average cost of $3.5 million in US dollars according to a study by the Ponemon Institute due to lost or unrecoverable data on employee devices, including desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, organizations are beginning to embrace centrally managed platforms that can be used to simultaneously address data protection, collaboration, regulatory, and eDiscovery requirements in a secure manner.
Evidence Analysis with @HarbingerSys and @TaaSera | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
In this demo at 15th Cloud Expo, Nitin Akarte, VP of System Engineering at TaaSera Inc., discussed cybersecurity in the cloud, focusing on forensic analysis and advanced response systems.
Our upcoming June 9-11, 2015, event in New York City will present a total of 10 simultaneous tracks (the largest conference content in the world) by an all-star faculty, over three days, plus the popular two-day «Cloud Computing Bootcamp» presented by Janakiram MSV, an analyst with the Gigaom Research analyst network where he covers the Cloud Services landscape.
Data Security Platform with @Vormetric | @CloudExpo [#Cloud #BigData]
In this demo at 15th Cloud Expo, Derek Tumulak, Vice President of Product Management at Vormetric, takes you through what Vormetric does, and some of the data security capabilities they offer. A lot of times you don’t need high-tech solutions to solve problems; a lot of times it’s education and training that’s crucial in implementing a proper data security solution.
A Guide to Recurring Revenue Success By @AriaSystemsInc | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
Regardless of the business or industry you’re in, there’s no doubt that a successful year is at the forefront of your strategy. And at the helm driving that success is revenue. But not just any kind of revenue… we’re talking recurring revenue. When an average of 80% of a company’s future profits comes from 20% of its existing customers, it’s a telling sign of where your focus should be. And if you’re like nearly 50% of U.S. businesses today, you’ve either already adopted or are planning to adopt a recurring revenue model in your business. If you haven’t, there’s no better time than now to do so.
But why recurring revenue? What’s wrong with your old legacy billing system? If your goal is expansion, these old billing systems can’t handle or support the growth required for increased usage-based businesses objectives and new subscription options. You need a more modern, sophisticated system that guarantees your success today and in the future.
Is It Time for Hadoop Derivatives?
Is there an emerging market for OEM-ed Hadoop? Altoros Founder and CEO Renat Khasanshyn (pitured below) saw initial evidence of this recently, at a meetup he organized in San Ramon, CA.The meetup was ostensibly about Cloud Foundry and Docker, and featured speakers discussing the use of Hadoop with Docker Containers, and “Dockerizing” enterprise IT.
“The nature of questions about multi-tenant deployments these folks were asking brought me to a conclusion: many of them are in the early stages of building stuff not so much for internal use but for sale to external customers,” Renat says.
He adds that “I know what internal Hadoop deployments in Fortune 500 look like; but (now I’m seeing) offerings that do not look like Hadoop in the first place. (It seems that) many F500 are in a huge rush to OEM-ing Hadoop technology so they can start selling ‘derivatives.’”
Aberration or Trend?
The meetup was attended by “a highly unusual” group of people compared to previous events, he says. He notes that there were more than 40 people in attendance from large, non-tech companies, including 20 attendees from GE (which hosted the event), as well as attendees from AT&T and other Fortune 500 companies.
San Ramon lies on the edge of Silicon Valley and the SF Bay Area, and is home to many large corporations, including Chevron, 24-Hour Fitness. It also serves as the western headquarters of AT&T (having been Pacific Bell’s headquarters location prior to its acquisition by AT&T). Other non-techs such as Safeway, Clorox, and Macy’s are highly visible in this general area.
It’s Asymptotic, Dude
My experience in serving as Conference Chair for Cloud Expo and ThingsExpo last year was that enterprises are indeed moving at an unprecedented pace to gain expertise in the underlying technologies and overarching strategies that are emerging in this era.
The normal, steady growth curve I’ve seen with so many technologies—dating to the original LANs and PCs through the early days of the Worldwide Web—is being replaced today by a seemingly asymptotic expansion. Companies want not only to know “what” and “why” but “how” and most important, “when” they can deploy cloud and integrate their Big Data and their IoT potential into the mix. Renat’s anecdote seems to reflect this phenomenon.
Secure the ‘Internet of Things’ By @JamesKobielus | @ThingsExpo [#IoT]
The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you’ve endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It’s the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.
In the IoT vision, every new «thing» – sensor, actuator, data source, data consumer, routing intermediary, etc., is a new security-relevant detail that stirs up a wide range of collateral security issues. In other words, every new networked IoT endpoint is a new potential attack vector or launching point that the baddies can exploit. Potentially, every time you plug in a new IoT-networked device that is infected with malware or simply open to unauthorized third-party exploitation, the vulnerabilities start. Someone somewhere might exploit the new access point to gain illicit access to sensitive secrets (business, consumer, government, etc.), to damage software and data, and to wage distributed denial of service attacks.
