Cbeyond VP Chris Ortbals to Speak on Cloud Security at Cloud Expo
Cbeyond Inc. the technology ally to small and mid-sized businesses, will address secure cloud and network integration strategies during Cloud Expo 2012 Silicon Valley, November 5-8, 2012, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California.
Chris Ortbals, Cbeyond’s vice president of cloud services, will lead a breakout session under the Cloud Architecture, Security & Performance track from 08:15-9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 6, 2012.
Entitled «Having Data Security Nightmares? Fight the Monsters under your IT Bed with Secure Cloud and Network Unification», Ortbals’ presentation will look behind the intersection of network and cloud technologies. It will also include tips to help businesses ensure their mission-critical data is protected all the way from the premise to the private or public cloud.
SOA Software CTO Stresses API Management in the Cloud
Alistair Farquharson, CTO of SOA Software, a provider of Enterprise API Management and SOA Governance solutions, will be delivering a presentation on Best Practices of API Management at the 11th Cloud Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center [Nov 5-8]. Farquharson’s session will focus on ways that IT departments can support business objectives through APIs that open access to core information systems to external developers.
Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) expose enterprise systems to developers, including distributed, unknown third parties that create apps such as those that work on mobile devices. The goal of enterprise API management is to enable the business to realize success from APIs without inadvertently creating security and system management problems or running up unsustainable costs.
Let’s Talk Global IT Innovation
I’m looking forward to Cloud Expo in Santa Clara next week.
Last year I flew from Manila, Philippines to be in attendance and announce the initial results of the Tau Index research that I’d been conducting with partners in Asia. This year, my flight will be only from Chicago, even as my Asian partners continue to expand the research.
We now cover 102 countries. The world’s top five are South Korea, Estonia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Finland. The bottom five are Libya, Cameroon, Cote D’Ivoire, Iran, and Algeria. The countries with the most untapped potential seem to be Vietnam, Ukraine, and most of Eastern Africa.
I’ve written extensively on the topic, so won’t repeat anything more here. One of our next steps is to bring some serious computing power to bear on the numbers, to bring them to life through data visualization. We can slice and dice the information through dozens of parameters, regions, income groupings, and combinations thereof. Our goal is to make them dance; we may be able to do this with the support of a university here in the Midwest with which we’ve been speaking.
Our research shines a light on many of the undiscovered gems in the world of global IT, and also reinforces the perceptions of many other countries with strong reputations. Given that IT innovation reaches most corners of the globe very quickly these days, we view our efforts as a way to further the growth of all global economies through the analysis and application of great technology.
If you’re looking for new markets, sources, or investments, try to speak to me next week at the show. I’d love to share what we’re doing with you.
The Cloud Infrastructure
“I’m not expecting consolidation in the infrastructure space, except for acquisitions that have to hire strong engineering teams,” noted Renat Khasanshyn, CEO of Altoros Systems and Venture Partner at Runa Capital, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan.
Cloud Computing: Just having the enterprise data is good. Extracting meaningful information out of this data is priceless. Agree or disagree?
Renat Khasanshyn: I agree that extracting meaningful information out of this data is priceless.
4G World: Clouds with 1000x More Capacity
In the initial presentations at the 4G World Conference in Chicago’s McCormick Place this week, several executive insights from Verizon, Nokia, Telstra, IBM, and others focus on the need to expand speeds and network capacities. One talked about the need to expand networks in order to handle 1000X the current traffic
The 4G World Conference is one of the best conferences to go to if you are concerned with the future of wireless because there are many corporate perspectives represented there. Besides hearing some of the strategic directions industry leaders are taking, you can also see a lot of the latest technology offerings in the exposition hall.
Everyone was talking about the need to move more data through the wireless networks. 4G Networks can really facilitate addressing that need.
The Lost Stepping Stone to the Cloud
IT Asset Management, or ITAM if you prefer, is the lost link to the cloud. There, now we’ve said it, do you feel better?
Before we can decide whether this is true, we need to understand what ITAM really is of course.
Sometimes called EAM (Enterprise Asset Management), the practice of asset management is quite a broad term used to describe the process of auditing and subsequently overseeing the total number of IT assets inside a company.
Encompassing hardware, but predominantly focused (these days) on software, asset management allows IT managers to improve cost control, perform maintenance scheduling, manage upgrades and look downstream towards decommissioning and replacement.
Making Money from Big Data Starts with Data
“There are back-office batch processes written in COBOL that work fine. And, there are apps written for client/server that will continue running great in a virtualized environment,” stated Troy Angrignon, Vice President, Sales & Partnering at Cloudscaling, in this exclusive Q&A with cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. Angrignon concluded, “Re-engineering them for cloud won’t happen for the foreseeable future.”
Cloud Computing Journal: Just having the enterprise data is good. Extracting meaningful information out of this data is priceless. Agree or disagree?
Troy Angrignon: Sure. But, it’s harder than you might realize. Making money from Big Data starts with data, but you need a business model, developers who get devops, and a cloud infrastructure built for agility and economy.
Day 4 Keynote | The Ever-Changing Cloud at Cloud Expo Silicon Valley
Another perfect storm is brewing in cloud computing fueled by the explosive growth of Internet-based mobile apps, network virtualization, and APIs for programmatic control of infrastructure. In addition, community-driven open source projects such as OpenStack make it possible for anyone to deploy and directly contribute to what promises to be a widely deployed, open cloud platform. Many companies and individual developers are contributing ideas and code for new cloud services, which bring capabilities of the underlying infrastructure into the world of cloud applications.
