Do you want SQL access to your SaaS application?
In their session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Sumit Sarkar, Sr. Solutions Consultant at Progress Software, and Paul Griffin, Sr. Manager, Sales Enablement, at Progress Software, will discuss how to achieve this with real-time SQL-92 access using ODBC and JDBC directly against your SaaS application database. See how this unique data connectivity is now possible and how other organizations use SQL access to get even more out of the cloud data running their businesses.
New Relic Delivers SaaS-Based Key Transaction Performance Management
New Relic, Inc., on Wednesday announced the availability of key transaction performance management, enabling organizations large and small to take advantage of enterprise business transaction performance tracking. Until now, business transaction performance management has only been available in expensive, on-premise tools. With the addition of this feature to New Relic Pro, the company is empowering its customers with advanced, fine-grained visibility into their most critical business interactions at an affordable price.
Additionally, New Relic has enhanced its already-intuitive product workflow with a new and improved user interface. In a single pane of glass, the new UI consolidates real user monitoring and application performance overviews for at-a-glance convenience The new design makes it even easier for dev, ops and devops teams to quickly identify bottlenecks and performance issues before they impact business activity.

Compuware Extends APM Leadership with New Big Data Pricing
Compuware Corporation has announced pricing for a deep transaction management solution for optimizing performance of Apache Hadoop applications. Compuware APM’s dynaTrace Enterprise for Hadoop will be offered starting at just $1,000 per Hadoop Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Applications using Hadoop MapReduce suffer from many of the performance challenges and bottlenecks that plague current distributed applications, though the volume of performance data can be much larger. Optimizing compute and data distribution across nodes, assuring job execution efficiency, identifying I/O bottlenecks, tuning CPU and memory consumption amongst thousands of nodes requires deep insight into the Hadoop environment.

OASIS: Open Cloud Ecosystem
There is a growing momentum in the industry that is buzzing about the ‘Open Cloud’.
Typically this refers to the open source software aspect of Cloud software, like OpenStack, or other options like OpenNebula.
There is also the other dimension of open standards. This will become critically important as interoperability becomes the single most important factor of deciding what Cloud services to use, or not use.
OASIS has started to emerge as the global powerhouse in this area. With a foundation of developing application integration standards for XML Web services, the organization is uniquely positioned to address this requirement.

BigDataExpo Silicon Valley Speaker Profile: Tom Leyden – Amplidata
With 2nd International BigDataExpo (www.BigDataExpo.net), co-located with 11th Cloud Expo, due to kick off in under 3 weeks for 4 days of high-energy networking and discussions, what better time to remind you in greater detail of the distinguished individuals in our incredible Speaker Faculty for the technical and strategy sessions at the conference…?
Security and Automation in the Cloud
One of the biggest concerns IT managers have about moving business-critical applications into the cloud and away from the data center is the issue of security. What you may not realize, however, is that the same tools for automation and provisioning that function in cloud implementations also offer a significant opportunity to improve security.
The first concern, of course, is whether the cloud in question is private or public. If you’re using a public cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services, you know you’re looking at Level 1 PCI DSS compliance. If you’re running a cloud solution in-house, however, you need to make sure you’re handling all of that security via firewalls and network and storage management.
Life in the Slow Lane and Buried Under Event Big Data
Sitting in traffic the other day reminded me of a stock trading company that gets millions of system alerts a day. Millions!!! Do they all need attention? Only some? How can you know without viewing them all? There is no way to personally handle such an enormous amount of alerts. To have someone sit and look through millions of messages a day and determine how critical the alert is or the validity of the alert is just impossible.
Then, a car went by in the Carpool Lane.
It occurred to me, that a business system is much like the carpool lane. The carpool lane allows vehicles with 2 or more people to be fast tracked past the traffic. Like the carpool lane, there need to be parameters that are able to identify which alerts are pertinent and allowed to speed through and which alerts are not. We’re not suggesting that some messages hop around others and get to us faster. That is of course, not workable. But, the system needs to be able to identify and process the alert types that are important enough to require immediate attention. Sometimes, the alert is as simple as a transient warning and doesn’t require immediate attention. Other times, the alert is much more important in nature, such as an application failure.
