Embedded Cloud Enablement Services at Cloud Expo New York

The proliferation of device connectivity is redefining the functionality requirements and capabilities of many embedded systems as more and more of these devices look to leverage the “Cloud.” While many commercial software and hardware component vendors have begun to realign their value propositions to satisfy growing demand, commercial-off-the-shelf products (COTS) alone cannot meet every OEM’s needs. As a result, the Embedded Cloud has injected a new level of uncertainty and a new competitive dynamic within the embedded ecosystem.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Chris Rommel, VP Embedded Practices at VDC Research Group, will discuss the key question: What companies or even types of companies (hardware, software, or third-party engineering vendors) will emerge as the primary providers of professional services to supplement the COTS components and enable this next level of system connectivity and functionality?

WILS: The Many Faces of TCP

Anyone who’s involved with web application performance – either measuring or addressing – knows there are literally hundreds of RFCs designed to improve the performance of TCP (which in turn, one hopes, improves the performance of HTTP-delivered applications that ultimately rely on TCP).
But what may not be known is that there are a number of variations on the TCP theme; slightly modified versions of the protocol that are designed to improve upon TCP under specific network conditions.
A Burton IT research note (G00218070), “Wireless Performance Issues and Solutions for Mobile Users” published in January 2012 goes into much more detail on these variations. As this is a WILS post, I will keep it short and sweet, and encourage you to read through the aforementioned research note for more details or visit the homepages / RFC details for each variation.

The Evolution of IT to the Cloud at Cloud Expo New York

IT has already jumped on the SaaS bandwagon. They’ve realized that it is easier to use a SaaS application than to build and support a custom application in-house. As cloud computing becomes increasingly pervasive, businesses will move more and more of their infrastructure into a public or private cloud, initially looking to benefit from the economics and efficiency. As end users become more familiar with consuming infrastructure on-demand, the role of IT will change from being more project-oriented to being more service-oriented, essentially delivering IT-as-a-Service.
Historically, IT initiatives have been implemented on a per-project, integration basis – essentially, the antithesis of how cloud consumption models operate. How, then, would organizations rectify their business and IT objectives to ensure they remain on similar paths?
The answer is to take IT to the cloud as well.

Most private clouds today support non-production workloads because enterprises are unable to deploy mission-critical applications in their private cloud.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Anand Akela, Sr. Principal Product Director at Oracle, will discuss how the same Oracle technology that powers the Oracle Public Cloud enables you to deploy mission-critical applications in your cloud.
