Our guest on the podcast this week is Jason Bloomberg, President at Intellyx.
When we build services we want them to be lightweight, stateless and scalable while doing one thing really well. In today’s cloud world, we’re revisiting what to takes to make a good service in the first place.
Listen in to learn why following “the book” doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re solving key business problems.
In my new report titled Real-Time Mobile Infrastructure, I ask 80 IT and business professionals involved in enterprise mobility to answer a series of questions. The results will be shared here in the following article series.
In my last blog post, I made a case for the powerful combo of APM and Analytics that you shouldn’t miss out on. Today, I’m going to explain what I mean by that with an example on how you can build better apps and write better code leveraging this powerful combination.
There is a common misperception that the only way a developer can write better code is by running profilers and by painstakingly collecting every call graph of their application to learn how its code is actually behaving. Cutting edge developers have started using application performance management (APM) to understand code performance and identify bottlenecks. The problem with both these approaches is that this often results into testing just the happy-path of your code. Negative or failure testing will catch exception scenarios but that is rarely coupled with stress testing scenarios. Rarely do testers test combine the two (negative and stress) to uncover scenarios that develop over time with cumulative or sequential failures.
One of the best things about working here is the collaborative nature of our team. We throw around ideas, critique each other’s suggestions, and ultimately arrive at some pretty smart decisions through a combination of talking, illustrating, venting, analysis, logic, and insane amount of passion and conviction. And yes, there’s a lot of caffeine fueling all of that.
This style of working – thoughtful, insightful, respectful – has given us the freedom and courage to make important changes to our products and in the technology we believe in. By the same token, we have wonderful customers who work in partnership with us to help us understand how their markets are evolving and allow us to serve them better through our innovative technology. Our ability to engage, react and predict has served us incredibly well.

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT.
Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch.
DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
Since the dawn of enterprise digital computing, managers have been looking to computer operators to run data processing jobs on those original workhorses of computation. The goal: to generate reports that the managers would use to make decisions on how to run their companies or government agencies.
Today, those large binders filled with perforated pages striped in glorious green and white may be long gone, but the batch job – paper report – human decision pattern remains engrained on our managerial consciousness, for better or worse.
SYS-CON Events announced today that StorPool Storage will exhibit at SYS-CON’s 16th International Cloud Expo®, which will take place on June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY.
StorPool is distributed storage software that allows service providers, enterprises and other cloud builders to run data storage on standard x86 servers, instead of using expensive and inefficient storage arrays (SAN).
CenturyLink recently announced that they opened a cloud data store in Singapore. This comes as Asian service providers are extending their infrastructure into Europe and North America, and vice versa. The new data center is the first one for the company in Asia, though they have been providing their services in the region for many years. This new center is part of an expansion project by CenturyLink to raise their number of data centers all around the globe.
In Asia, there is a demand for IT infrastructure services from local and international companies entering the market or expanding to the region. The services available at the location are similar to those provided at the other CenturyLink cloud data centers, including high-performance and standard servers, storage, orchestration, white label cloud, and service catalogs. Management services are expected to be added to this list in the near future.
Singapore was the logical location to begin CenturyLink’s physical presence in Asia because they have already had successful colocation and managed hosting there. New Jersey based cloud service provider Linode has also announced plans to add a Singapore data center to its existing center based in Japan.
There has been some concern recently about data sovereignty in the region. Businesses, especially local ones, are worried about their data leaving the country. CenturyLink promises that these fears will not become a reality with this recent cloud data center.
