Traditional infrastructure purchasing plans to over-provision for growth were based on the pain of scaling-out classic infrastructure architecture. Modern infrastructure solutions like hyperconverged infrastructure take away the pain of scaling out and allow IT departments to purchase only what they need up front and save budget to scale out when needed.

Digital – Design Thinking = Status Quo | @ThingsExpo #DigitalTransformation
Every time I call up any customer support and hear the familiar ‘all our representatives are busy dealing with other customers,’ that my call is very important to them and from the more technologically advanced ones that I am ‘fourth in the queue and my approximate wait time is 23 minutes,’ I wonder why can’t they simply call me back when they are free? They already have my contact number. Some of them actually play some music while I wait – which is still better than those who actually take that opportunity to inform me about their new products.
Tune into the Cloud: Total Madness | @CloudExpo #Cloud #Security #Microservices
It took some time but the need for Total Security Management is slowly starting to sink in. With regard to quality it took the western manufacturing industry several decades before it realized that a separate quality department – standing at the end of the production line to check which products did not meet the mandated specs – was a costly and disastrous path to take. And slowly but surely we are seeing similar thinking with regard to cyber and cloud security emerge.
Cloud, Big Data and Analytics Bring New Levels of Productivity | @CloudExpo #Cloud #BigData #DigitalTransformation
The convergence of cloud, mobility, and Big Data analytics has prompted companies to innovate and produce new levels of award-winning productivity.
To learn how these trend-setters create innovation value, we’re joined by some finalists from the Citrix Synergy 2016 Innovation Awards Program: Olaf Romer, Head of Corporate IT and group CIO at Bâloise in Basel, Switzerland; Alan Crawford, CIO of Action for Children in London, and Craig Patterson, CEO of Patterson and Associates in San Antonio, Texas. The discussion is moderated by me, Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
Node.js Takes the Blame | @CloudExpo #IoT #DevOps #Microservices
No matter how well-built your applications are, countless issues can cause performance problems, putting the platforms they are running on under scrutiny. If you’ve moved to Node.js to power your applications, you may be at risk of these issues calling your choice into question. How do you identify vulnerabilities and mitigate risk to take the focus off troubleshooting the technology and back where it belongs, on innovation?
There is no doubt that Node.js is one of today’s leading platforms of choice for microservices and gluing tiers, connecting the heavy lifting business logic with modern offerings like single page applications. Intuit and PayPal showed how the Node initiative of a small team of «company outlaws» can grow into a whole organization and transform how things are done.
Facing SaaS App Reality | @CloudExpo #IoT #BigData #DevOps
I’m often guilty of sticking my head in the sand, ignoring very small details that could turn into big problems later on. Like when Netflix told me my credit card was about to expire, but it seemed like such a boring task, so I ignored them…till the day Netflix stopped working. I grumbled at the TV for awhile, then wasted another half hour remembering my login details and finding the credit card update page.
Clearly, I should have followed the easy link in the first place. It was my oversight that led me to waste time and my good mood updating my info. I consider missing my favorite television an actual problem in life, but realistically, it’s a minor problem that only affected me (and the people I live with. I was pretty grumpy).
Email Hackers: Are You Next? | @CloudExpo #Cloud #Encryption #Cybersecurity
Experts are debating whether the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) email system was hacked by the Russian military intelligence service (G.R.U.) or Guccifer 2.0, a lone wolf Romanian hacker. While this is a very important question, the answer will not change the results: over 20,000 DNC emails ended up on WikiLeaks. How did this happen? How likely is it to happen to you or your company? What can you do to protect your email system from a similar fate?
Digital Transformation – The Dark Side | @CloudExpo #IoT #Cloud #DigitalTransformation
Conjecture, an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
All digital transformation initiatives introduce new problems, software bugs, guaranteed network vulnerabilities, new competitors; new business challenges and new stresses. The elimination of all negative consequences and vulnerabilities are impossible, so our focus should be on limiting and containing it, not eliminating it.

DevOps Automation | @DevOpsSummit @IBMDevOps #CD #API #DevOps
Deploying applications in hybrid cloud environments is hard work. Your team spends most of the time maintaining your infrastructure, configuring dev/test and production environments, and deploying applications across environments – which can be both time consuming and error prone. But what if you could automate provisioning and deployment to deliver error free environments faster? What could you do with your free time?
