State of Application Delivery 2015 By @LMacVittie | @CloudExpo #SDN #Cloud
For some, SDN was about operational efficiency; about driving more stability and consistency out of the processes that push applications through the app deployment pipeline into production. For others, it was really about financial efficiency – the drive to lower capital expenditures. And for yet others it was about efficient use of time – speed – in getting apps to market faster.
All had at their root this common theme – efficiency. IT and indeed businesses today are experiencing rapid and sometimes unexpected growth driven by demand for mobile applications and the introduction of things into the equation. All agree that IT is under incredible pressure to step up and become more fast, scalable and efficient in order to deliver the apps upon which business now relies in this new economy. SDN, like DevOps, is one of the ways in which organizations are looking to operationalize their networks using programmability to automate and orchestrate the processes that govern the production pipeline.
Future of Information Storage with ISS SuperCore and Ceph | @CloudExpo #Cloud
The time is ripe for high speed resilient software defined storage solutions with unlimited scalability. ISS has been working with the leading open source projects and developed a commercial high performance solution that is able to grow forever without performance limitations.
In his session at Cloud Expo, Alex Gorbachev, President of Intelligent Systems Services Inc., shared foundation principles of Ceph architecture, as well as the design to deliver this storage to traditional SAN storage consumers.
The Software Paradox By @JnanDash | @CloudExpo #Cloud
I just read a new booklet from O’Reilly called The Software Paradox by Stephen O’Grady. You can access it here.
Here is a direct quote:
“This is the Software Paradox: the most powerful disruptor we have ever seen and the creator of multibillion-dollar net new markets is being commercially devalued, daily. Just as the technology industry was firmly convinced in 1981 that the money was in hardware, not software, the industry today is largely built on the assumption that the real revenue is in software. The evidence, however, suggests that software is less valuable—in the commercial sense—than many are aware, and becoming less so by the day. And that trend is, in all likelihood, not reversible. The question facing an entire industry, then, is what next?”
Supplier Diversity in the Networked Economy By @Dana_Gardner | @CloudExpo #Cloud

App Security: The Elephant in the Cloudy Room By @LMacVittie | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Okay, kids. It’s time we had «that talk». You know the one, the one you’ve been whispering about with your friends but heretofore were afraid to actually ask about because of course everyone else knows about it and you didn’t want to appear, well, not cool by admitting you didn’t really know.
Except they don’t, or at least if they do, they aren’t talking about it either. And it’s really past time we talked about taking the right precautions when using the cloud. You know, how to protect your apps in the cloud from infection and attack.
Yes, today we’re finally going to talk about application security in the cloud.
People, Process & Technology at @CloudExpo By @IoT2040 | #IoT #Cloud #DevOps
People have re-entered the picture in discussions about cloud computing.
This was my primary takeaway from this year’s Cloud Expo East in New York, an event for which I serve as Conference Chair.
Over three days, we hosted thousands of delegates attending sessions from more than 150 speakers, including two prominent women as keynoters, and a range of topics that covered not only enterprise cloud in general, but microservices and containers, Big Data and the IoT, WebRTC, software-defined most-anything, an emerging DevOps culture…and people.
People, Process, & Technology
People, process, and technology has become a mantra within the world of DevOps proponents and practitioners, and it can easily be applied to the whole of cloud computing and all that it entails. Our DevOps Summit Chair Andi Mann led a panel discussion on the topic.
Getting to Cloud 9 | @CloudExpo #APM #Cloud
Almost every functional department in a business is thinking about how the cloud applies to them. The benefits are clear – it is easier for geographically diverse teams to access and collaborate over data, it is convenient for users, and it can cost far less. When it comes to performance testing, the benefits of the cloud are very compelling. All that load you need to generate to truly test your application can come from external, elastic, on-demand sources. You don’t have to build it out yourself.
However, you may also perceive some challenges that might prevent you from conducting load testing from the cloud.
WCaaS – [Who Cares?] as a Service By @KHazard | @CloudExpo #Cloud
In the midst of the widespread popularity and adoption of cloud computing, it seems like everything is being offered “as a Service” these days: Infrastructure? Check. Platform? You bet. Software? Absolutely. Toaster? It’s only a matter of time. With service providers positioning vastly differing offerings under a generic “cloud” umbrella, it’s all too easy to get confused about what’s actually being offered.
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Kevin Hazard, Director of Digital Content for SoftLayer, an IBM Company, breaks down the most commonly used industry buzzwords and discusses what each “aaS” is good for. No BS(aas).
Advanced Configuration Database Helps Merger By @Dana_Gardner | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Redcentric PLC used an advanced configuration database approach to scale management of some 10,000 devices across two disparate companies and made them accessible as a single system.
The next BriefingsDirect performance management discussion uncovers how Redcentric PLC in the UK tackled a major network management project due to a business merger. We’ll hear how Redcentric used an advanced configuration database approach to scale management of some 10,000 devices across two disparate companies and made them accessible as a single system.
