The Wall Street Journal recently reported that an estimated 10 million zombie servers worldwide burn energy equal to the output of 8 large power plants. You might be wondering what’s burning in your data center? How can you confidently identify a zombie server from infrastructure that supports critical services?
In her session at 18th Cloud Expo, Michelle Kerby, the Sr. Director for BMC Software Solutions Marketing, will discuss how automated asset discovery and dependency mapping can give IT a holistic view of all enterprise assets and the relationships between those assets. In minutes, IT can link infrastructure and software to how it impacts the business to optimize capacity, ensure stronger security and improve service, change and problem management. Make smart IT decisions to zap the zombies.

First Open Source GPU Could Change Future of Computing | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Researchers at Binghamton University recently became the first to create an open source graphics processor unit (GPU). The GPU they created, called Nyami, is appropriate for general purposes as well as graphics-specific work.
Nyami is significant in the research, computing and open source communities because it marks the first time open source has been used to design a GPU, as well as the first time a research team was able to test how different hardware and software configurations affect GPU performance. The results of the experiments the researchers performed are now part of the open source community, and that work will help others follow in the original research team’s footsteps. According to Timothy Miller, a computer science assistant professor at Binghamton, as others create their own GPUs using open source, it will push computing power to the next level.
Developing a Microservices Pipeline | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Microservices
The rise of microservices has enabled teams to branch out from developing for innately complicated, monolithic applications and work with small, flexible and comparatively simple components. But when these components (numbering anywhere from the hundreds to the thousands for one application) need to work together, traditional tools and release processes can be lacking. Organizations need to adopt new delivery models, release strategies and tooling that can handle this new multitude of services and their dependencies.
Artifact Repository in Continuous Delivery | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #APM
Both prospects and customers often ask me why we need an artifact repository. Some think that as their favorite CI (Continuous Integration) server such as Jenkins already stores the output of each build, maybe there’s no need to add an artifact repository to their existing tool chain. Others simply wonder why they need such a repository at all.
In this blog post I’ll discuss why it’s essential for any continuous delivery and deployment project to version everything, and why artifact repositories such as Artifactory or Nexus are great choices for managing binary and other artifacts.
Trends in Hyper-Scale Storage for Growing Data Center Workloads
Storage has finally become an interesting field, full of innovation and change, addressing growing new requirements for storage flexibility, density and performance. The falling prices of flash, the introduction of various flavors of storage class memory, combined with increasing appetite for commoditization of the data center infrastructure, has helped fuel the innovation in how data is stored and accessed.
Companies are faced with the challenges of how to store their ever growing data efficiently, at a cost point that is palatable to CTOs and CFOs, while keeping the right levels of performance and SLAs in order to provide storage services to end users and applications. At the same time, internal IT organizations are facing the challenge of competing with flexibility and price points offered externally through public clouds.
A Revolution in IoT | @ThingsExpo #IoT #IIoT #M2M #ML #InternetOfThings
Sensors allow us to digitally monitor our physical world, and take real-time action on the data from afar. Plant managers, in fact, can manage multiple manufacturing locations around the world in real-time via sensors and Internet connectivity. Drone pilots in the Nevada desert; project military force by flying combat missions around the world via sensors and remote control. Trucking companies can track and manage, via telematics, thousands of trucks, trailers and their cargo all across the country in real-time. As automation increases due to advances in sensors, bandwidth, artificial intelligence, algorithms and machine learning – precision becomes not only possible, but all-important.
