[session] Traffic Jams on the Internet of Things | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #RTC #InternetOfThings
As more intelligent IoT applications shift into gear, they’re merging into the ever-increasing traffic flow of the Internet. It won’t be long before we experience bottlenecks, as IoT traffic peaks during rush hours. Organizations that are unprepared will find themselves by the side of the road unable to cross back into the fast lane. As billions of new devices begin to communicate and exchange data – will your infrastructure be scalable enough to handle this new interconnected world?
[session] IoT Connected Car By @GetMojio | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #RTC #InternetOfThings
While many app developers are comfortable building apps for the smartphone, there is a whole new world out there.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Narayan Sainaney, Co-founder and CTO of Mojio, will discuss how the business case for connected car apps is growing and, with open platform companies having already done the heavy lifting, there really is no barrier to entry.
Avoiding Cloud Silos | @CloudExpo #API #Cloud #BigData #IoT #M2M #RTC
The cloud has transformed the way companies purchase and deploy software. Department managers buy best-of-breed solutions for marketing automation, budgeting and forecasting, financials, procurement, expense management and more. This open marketplace can create “cloud silos,” which offers a single department the opportunity to increase productivity, but can actually hamper visibility into business drivers when data in these critical systems have to be accessed across or between systems.
By combining these cloud islands into an integrated, responsive and agile technology nerve center for the business, you can avoid having multiple cloud applications that don’t interact with one another. Cloud solutions have an advantage over on-premise software because they are architected with open APIs to support integration. But look beyond data integration – cloud integrations need to support your critical business processes. Having rich, configurable, pre-built integrations between systems allow for much quicker, durable and robust business environments that provide strategic advantage.
[session] Wearables in the Workplace | @ThingsExpo #IoT #RTC #Wearables
With the Apple Watch making its way onto wrists all over the world, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a staple in the workplace. In fact, Forrester reported that 68 percent of technology and business decision-makers characterize wearables as a top priority for 2015. Recognizing their business value early on, FinancialForce.com was the first to bring ERP to wearables, helping streamline communication across front and back office functions.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Kevin Roberts, GM of Platform at FinancialForce.com, will discuss the value of business applications on wearable devices, use cases and predictions for the evolution of wearables in the workplace.
SDR – Steamlined Data Refinery | @CloudExpo #BigData #IoT #M2M #API #RTC
Yesterday I attended a session in Palo Alto on the subject of Data Refinery and the speaker was Will Gorman of Pentaho. I did not realize that Pentaho was acquired by Hitachi Data Systems couple of months ago. The terms “data lake” was coined by James Dixon of Pentaho. I wrote a blog on this subject last year. As soon as the term started to appear in the data lexicon, other interesting terms such as “data swamp” appeared.
DevOps Book Review | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Containers #Microservices
This is the first DevOps book that shows a realistic and achievable view of the full implementation of DevOps. Most of the books and other literature I have read on DevOps are all about the culture, the attitudes, how it relates to Agile and Lean practices, and a high level view of microservices. This book includes all that, but they are not its main focus, and it goes several steps further with respect to the architecture and infrastructure needed for the implementation.
[session] Pragmatic Mobile Testing By @SOASTAInc | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #API
Mobile testing is getting harder: more devices, multiple operating systems, higher quality expectations and shorter development cycles.
In his session at DevOps Summit, Tom Chavez, Senior Evangelist at SOASTA, will discuss the seven steps to improving your mobile testing process.
Tom Chavez, with 20+ years of experience as a product manager in software development tools, works in product management at SOASTA, the leader in performance analytics.

Turning the Tide on Cyber Attacks | @CloudExpo #Cloud #IoT #API #BigData
Today’s business ecosystems span across multiple organizations, security perimeters and trust zones, increasing the number of attack vectors. With the migration of enterprise applications to the cloud, attack surfaces have expanded significantly. Compounding the problem, today’s wave of attacks are more sophisticated and diversified than ever. The combination of enterprise complexity and advanced attacks has broken the traditional enterprise perimeter, creating the perfect storm for threats and information loss, where a new security paradigm is needed.
Censornets Newest Round of Funding
Censornet, a cloud security company, has recently announced a channel drive. It hopes to increase its partner base within the United Kingdom by upwards of 250 percent over the upcoming months. Censornet plans to work with distributor Blue Solutions to acquire 50 partners. Censornet has been an active participant in the email security sector since 2007 and was acquired by a group of experience industry member led by Ed Macnair.
The company has raised £2m in Series A funding to power the next phase of its growth, funding expansion of its channel teams and R&D. This round of funding comes in conjunction with growing risks of increased utilization of cloud application as mobile devices. Censornet has recently added three heads to both channel sales and management teams with plans of adding at least 5 more.
The round was led by London based Talis Capital; existing investors and management participated. Vasile Foca, Talis Capital founder, has plans to become an investor director on the Censornet . Ed Macnair has commented, “The entire CensorNet team are pleased to be working with Talis Capital and we welcome Vasile to the board. We are confident their experience in SaaS and cyber security will prove invaluable as we continue to grow an exciting business”
Vasile Foca, co-founder and director of Talis Capital, explained, “CensorNet has developed a market-leading product suite which caters to the needs of SMEs struggling to respond to ever more sophisticated cyber security threats.Their experienced team have a track record of building successful software businesses, so we are delighted to be working with them through the next stage of the company’s development.”
CensorNet specializes in cloud application control and analysis, allowing IT departments to monitor and control information flowing to and from cloud applications like Salesforce and Dropbox. Because more companies are utilizing SaaS applications, confidential information is out free in the cloud, outside of an administrator’s control. Alex Kurz, director of sales engineering at CensorNet, has stated, “From our perspective, that’s the logical place we the cloud application controller should sit, because the web gateway already has all the data – it just needs to be analyzed.”
