ITSM Shows Benefits in Monitoring Operations By @Dana_Gardner | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
INFOTEC in Mexico City improve its service desk and monitoring operations and enjoys impressive results – an incident reduction of more than 20 percent – from those efforts.
INFOTEC needed to react better to systems failures, to significantly reduce the time to repair, and to learn from those failures to prevent future ones. Now, by deploying advanced IT service management (ITSM) tools, the ISP’s users have a much higher quality of dependable service.
Introducing ‘Microservices Journal’ | @CloudExpo [#Microservices #API]
Even though it’s now Microservices Journal, long-time fans of SOA World Magazine can take comfort in the fact that the URL – soa.sys-con.com – remains unchanged. And that’s no mistake, as microservices are really nothing more than a new and improved take on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) best practices we struggled to hammer out over the last decade. Skeptics, however, might say that this change is nothing more than an exercise in buzzword-hopping. SOA is passé, and now that people are talking about microservices instead, let’s switch out the terminology.
Sailing the Great Big Data Lakes By @EFeatherston | @BigDataExpo [#BigData]
In my younger days (we won’t discuss how long ago that was) I decided to take up sailing. I had always been fascinated watching sailboats, gliding smoothly along the water, with nothing but wind as their engine. My first lesson on the water was an exhilarating and eye opening experience. The instructor took me out on a 17-foot day sailer. It was a brisk New England April afternoon, what seemed like a perfect day to be sailing. The instructor explained the different techniques and maneuvers required to traverse the lake, which I executed, though somewhat nervously. We were moving at what felt like breakneck speeds, constantly shifting and changing the position of the boat, adjusting the sail to the changing wind directions, while still heading in the desired direction. Suddenly, a gust of wind came from a completely unexpected direction. Before I fully realized what had happened, I found myself treading water, looking back at the day sailer, which was completely turtled (a term I learned that day) upside down in the water. My instructor, amazingly, was standing on top of the upside down boat, completely dry.
Automate Workloads in the Hybrid Cloud By @Automic | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
Incorporating the Cloud as part of an IT operations environment can help organizations control costs and gain competitive advantage. However, there are significant challenges when integrating and automating business application workload that spans on-premises and Cloud environments. Implementing an IT automation solution that aligns well with these challenges is one of the most important IT Operations decisions a company can make.
Microservices: New SOA Architecture or Buzzword? | @CloudExpo [#Microservices]
The terms Micro Services and Micro Services Architecture are often used. It is an architecture based on independent relatively small components named Micro Services.
Some people may think that Micro Services Architecture is a new and improved Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It is not.
Martin Fowler is the first name mentioned in articles about Micro Services. Fowler is a British Software Engineer specialized in Software development.
I read the article: Microservices in Fowler’s Web site. I am more confused about Micro Services characteristics after reading the article.
Embracing Software Defined By @StorPool | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
As Marc Andreessen says software is eating the world. Everything is rapidly moving toward being software-defined – from our phones and cars through our washing machines to the datacenter. However, there are larger challenges when implementing software defined on a larger scale – when building software defined infrastructure.
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool, will provide some practical insights on what, how and why when implementing “software-defined” in the datacenter.
The Solution for ITS and Legacy Messaging: Syndeo | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
Messaging is a critical function for any organization. This is especially true for the Military and Intelligence communities, where it is imperative that vital messages reach intended recipients as quickly as possible.
The first messaging system was hand-written notes. While functional, these did not provide a timely way to get a message to a recipient quickly over a long distance, and could be intercepted. With the advent of the telegraph system, message transferal became much faster, but no more secure.
Black Friday? Cyber Monday? By @UmeshMahajan14 | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
It’s terminology specific to the retail industry though just about anyone who shops for consumer goods is familiar with the phrase “Black Friday” or, more recently, its online instantiation “Cyber Monday”. Both terms refer to the anticipated rush of commercial traffic in advance of the holiday season. For the retailers themselves, it’s an odd blend of the Apocalypse and Christmas magic, something to dread and anticipate simultaneously. For e-tailers specifically, this season requires that their web portals are capable of navigating huge spikes in online traffic without compromising the user experience. The threshold is extreme. Industry research has revealed that most consumers expect websites to load in under two seconds and that nearly half of them will abandon the site if loading exceeds a mere three seconds.
