Static data structures have been at the heart of data processing tools since the dawn of computing, but they have always limited the flexibility of the organization leveraging the data. Recently, the rise of flexible formats like JSON have led to schemaless data as an attempt to increase agility. However, schemaless data have proven difficult to work with, because of hidden rigid structure in the form of implied schemas.
EnterpriseWeb addresses the problems of both the inflexibility of structured data as well as the impracticality of schemaless data, by enabling schemaless data to be dynamically and logically structured.
A great article of future of cloud IDEs: The Cloud IDE and its impact on DevOps by Chris Riley (@HoardingInfo). The article makes a number of excellent points. Many developers will oppose the Cloud IDE without much consideration.
These are all very good points. From my personal experience, developers are very picky, they don’t like change, and they don’t like someone telling them to use some new cloud IDE. The offline issue used to be a sticking point but nowadays it’s becoming pretty difficult to find a place without internet. If no internet or WiFi is available, people can get online by tethering their mobile devices or via MiFi devices. Many airlines offer or installing WiFi on their planes.

Anyone who might have spotted a large order of champagne delivered to the Armonk area last night will now know why: IBM has just set a new record for the amount of big data stored on tape.
The Big Blue scientists have announced an eye-watering 85.9 billion bits of data per square inch on the latest tape, built from barium ferrite in conjunction with Fujitsu. This translates to 154 terabytes of uncompressed data on a standard LTO size cartridge – or, in non-tech terms, around 154 million books in one cartridge.
The tape weighs in at 4.3 micrometres thick and 1255 metres long – an improvement on the equivalent in 2010, which was a mere 5.9 micrometres and 917m.
“Even though tape technology is more than 60 years old, it’s very relevant today for one main reason: big data,” said Dr. Mark Lantz at IBM Research. “There’s …
Enterprise collaboration and document management are being transformed by new cloud and mobile requirements, deeply impacting one of the most broadly deployed collaboration platforms, Microsoft SharePoint.
Delivering information as an actionable asset in a widely collaborative and increasingly mobile environment has clearly become a top business priority. Business architects need the agility enabled by such unshackled information sharing and contextual collaboration to keep pace with distributed services and a boundaryless enterprise approach to their operations and commerce.
A recent global survey commissioned by CA Technologies and conducted by Vanson Bourne illustrates how radically the role of IT is changing in today’s business — and not always to the benefit of IT leaders and staffers. The survey of 1,300 senior IT leaders from large organizations in 21 countries explored the IT department as it is today and what it might become in the future.
The research highlights seven big changes that are driving the future of IT, as seen in this SlideShare deck that summarizes the key findings of the research.
Why bother promoting data into HDFS to run Hadoop analytics? Can’t I just run Hadoop on the data in place? – after all, HDFS and object storage have the same underpinnings.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Paul Turner, chief marketing officer at Cloudian, will present a unique case study showing Hadoop running directly on object storage and dive into the myriad of benefits that derive from this approach. He will explore the importance of this breakthrough for users and discuss current implementation strategies and project on future work planned.
