What process has your provider undertaken to ensure that the cloud tenant will receive predictable performance and service? What was involved in the planning? Who owns and operates the data center? What technology is being used? How is it being supported? In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Dave Weisbrot, Cloud Business Manager for QTS, will provide the attendees a look into what it takes to stand up and stand behind a highly available certified cloud IaaS.

@ThingsExpo | The Identity (of Things) Crisis (#IoT)
If you listen to the persistent murmur in the market surrounding the Internet of Things right now, you’d believe that it’s all about sensors. Sensors and big data. Sensors that monitor everything from entertainment habits to health status to more mundane environmental data about your home and office.
to a certain degree this is accurate. The Internet of Things comprises, well, things. But the question that must be asked – and is being asked in some circles – is not only where that data ends up but how organizations are going to analyze it and, more importantly, monetize it.
But there’s yet another question that needs to be asked and answered – soon. Assuming these things are talking to applications (whether they reside in the cloud or in the corporate data center) and vice-versa, there must be some way to identify them – and the people to whom they belong.
@DevOpsSummit | #DevOps and #SDN
Kirk Byers at SDN Central writes frequently on the topic of DevOps as it relates (and applies) to the network and recently introduced a list of seven DevOps principles that are applicable in an article entitled, “DevOps and the Chaos Monkey. ” On this list is the notion of reducing variation. This caught my eye because reducing variation is a key goal of Six Sigma and in fact its entire formula is based on measuring the impact of variation in results. The thought is that by measuring deviation from a desired outcome, you can immediately recognize whether changes to a process improve the consistency of the outcome.Quality is achieved by reducing variation, or so the methodology goes.
@MangoSpring To Exhibit at @CloudExpo Silicon Valley
Over the last two decades, needs of workers and workplace has evolved. The current set of collaboration tools (e.g. email, SharePoint) are outdated, restrict information distribution, create silos and are the exact opposite of what is needed to effectively work together in this decade.
From the very beginning, our goal with MangoApps was to bring as profound a change in how we collaborate as email did almost 20 years ago. We wanted MangoApps to be a place where employees could not only talk about work, but do work! Our goal was to make work life easy by providing a single tool employees could use thru’ out the day for all their communication and collaboration needs.
After years of hard work, investments and product iterations, MangoApps 8.2 takes a giant step towards this goal. MangoApps 8.2 combines traditional intranet features like structured publishing with team collaboration and social networking making it the only product to provide a complete collaboration solution.
