The middle market often experiences challenges adapting technology, lacking the agility of startups and the monetary investment of massive corporations. The cloud can help – cloud technology enables mid-market companies to streamline data and automate their processes. By utilizing cloud technology, employees can communicate and collaborate seamlessly from any device, whether it is a smartphone, tablet or desktop; thus improving user experience.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Kevin Beasley, CIO at VAI, will spotlight successes of the mid-market that are finally able to leverage ERP solutions, thanks to the economies of cloud.

IoT-Enabled Services | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #InternetOfThings
In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges – cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Ransomware and the Cloud | @CloudExpo #InfoSec #DataCenter #Security
Ransom Trojans have evolved over time. The newer variants target files on a computer’s local drives, network shares and cloud paths alike.
It’s been years since it became obvious that crypto isn’t necessarily usable for benign purposes only. Back in the day, a variety of data encryption techniques were contrived to protect sensitive communication against MITM (man-in-the-middle) attacks and similar interception attempts. The creators of file-encrypting ransomware, however, have ventured to add a malicious component to the mix, using both symmetric and asymmetric algorithms to lock their victims’ data and hold it for ransom.
[session] Crafting a Roadmap for Hybrid IT By @GreenHouseData | @CloudExpo #Cloud
With 15% of enterprises adopting a hybrid IT strategy, you need to set a plan to integrate hybrid cloud throughout your infrastructure.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Steven Dreher, Director of Solutions Architecture at Green House Data, will discuss how to plan for shifting resource requirements, overcome challenges, and implement hybrid IT alongside your existing data center assets. Highlights include anticipating workload, cost and resource calculations, integrating services on both sides of the firewall, self-service, monitoring, and workload prioritization.
Fitbits and IIoT | @ThingsExpo @GE_Digital #IoT #IIoT #InternetOfThings
Manufacturers are embracing the Industrial Internet the same way consumers are leveraging Fitbits – to improve overall health and wellness. Both can provide consistent measurement, visibility, and suggest performance improvements customized to help reach goals. Fitbit users can view real-time data and make adjustments to increase their activity.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mark Bernardo Professional Services Leader, Americas, at GE Digital, will discuss how leveraging the Industrial Internet and mobile devices, manufacturers can use real-time production data to make adjustments which increase optimal uptime and efficiency in operations. Whether it’s personal wellness or improving the “wellness” of your manufacturing assets, to get “fit” and improve performance, you need to get connected, get insights, and get optimized.
[session] Extreme Computing in the Cloud By @Nvidia | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Extreme Computing is the ability to leverage highly performant infrastructure and software to accelerate Big Data, machine learning, HPC, and Enterprise applications. High IOPS Storage, low-latency networks, in-memory databases, GPUs and other parallel accelerators are being used to achieve faster results and help businesses make better decisions.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Michael O’Neill, Strategic Business Development at NVIDIA, will focus on some of the unique ways extreme computing is being used on IBM Cloud, Amazon, and Microsoft Azure and how to gain access to these resources in the cloud… for FREE!
Immobile Data | @ThingsExpo #Mobile #BigData #IoT #DigitalTransformation
Providing secure, mobile access to sensitive data sets is a critical element in realizing the full potential of cloud computing. However, large data caches remain inaccessible to edge devices for reasons of security, size, format or limited viewing capabilities. Medical imaging, computer aided design and seismic interpretation are just a few examples of industries facing this challenge. Rather than fighting for incremental gains by pulling these datasets to edge devices, we need to embrace the immobile, heavy nature of this data by providing new opportunities for high-performance access and real-time collaboration.
Millennial #Storage | @CloudExpo @HGSTStorage #BigData #DataCenter
Creating replica copies to tolerate a certain number of failures is easy, but very expensive at cloud-scale. Conventional RAID has lower overhead, but it is limited in the number of failures it can tolerate. And the management is like herding cats (overseeing capacity, rebuilds, migrations, and degraded performance).
In his general session at 18th Cloud Expo, Scott Cleland, Senior Director of Product Marketing for the HGST Cloud Infrastructure Business Unit, will discuss how a new approach is necessary, one that supports the attributes of the cloud with the millions of applications and users depending on it for their business and personal lives. Object storage is the millennial approach to cloud-based data storage, archival, retrieval and cost. Why? Because it delivers significantly higher data reliability and allows virtually unlimited expansion for storage. Perfect for a hash-tagging, selfie-taking, always communicating and collaborating in an on-demand world.
[session] Government Cloud Enablement By @MajedSaadi | @CloudExpo #Cloud
While many government agencies have embraced the idea of employing cloud computing as a tool for increasing the efficiency and flexibility of IT, many still struggle with large scale adoption. The challenge is mainly attributed to the federated structure of these agencies as well as the immaturity of brokerage and governance tools and models. Initiatives like FedRAMP are a great first step toward solving many of these challenges but there are a lot of unknowns that are yet to be tackled.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Majed Saadi, Chief Technology Officer at Govplace, will focus on providing a quick update about the state of the cloud in the federal government with an emphasis on current trends and drivers. He will also introduce a new Government Cloud Enablement Model that codifies the different functional areas that enablement must confront.
