Greg O’Connor, appzero’s CEO will be joined by CTO Giovanni Boschi in a webinar focused on moving Windows server production applications to any cloud or datacenter server. The discussion will take a use-case approach to compare and contrast appzero capabilities with those of Microsoft Server App-V.
Movement of Windows server applications within a private cloud or to a public cloud, (especially Azure) was among the topics covered atMicrosoft’s recent Management Summit 2012. Extending its App-V desktop product to Windows server applications in Server App-V, Microsoft has primed the market for a broadened discussion of moving production apps to any cloud (not just Azure).

With Cloud Expo 2012 New York (10th Cloud Expo) now just eight weeks away, what better time to introduce you in greater detail to the distinguished individuals in our incredible Speaker Faculty for the technical and strategy sessions at the conference…
We have technical and strategy sessions for you every day from June 11 through June 14 dealing with every nook and cranny of Cloud Computing and Big Data, but what of those who are presenting? Who are they, where do they work, what else have they written and/or said about the Cloud that is transforming the world of Enterprise IT, side by side with the exploding use of enterprise Big Data – processed in the Cloud – to drive value for businesses…?
In spite of the great strides the cloud industry has made in addressing security and integration concerns, large enterprises (e.g., banks, insurance companies, health care firms) continue to be reluctant to adopt the cloud for mission-critical applications. Further, resistance to cloud adoption is now at least as much an issue of misaligned incentives and fear of the unknown as it is about legitimate technology concerns.
Breaking the impasse on mission-critical apps often can’t be done directly and instead requires proof to be accumulated over a sustained period of time. The trick is to find a way for a customer to kick the tires of the cloud solution in a way that is financially rewarding for all parties.
Big Data is Big, but it also causes a lot of confusion. Big Data is used for anything related storage these days, so people don’t know anymore what it exactly is. Is it Hadoop? Is it analytics? It doesn’t need to be that complicated though. There are two kinds of Big Data: Big Data (for analytics) and Big Unstructured Data.
Big Data for analytics is a paradigm that became popular in the previous decade. A lot of innovation was done for research projects. New technology enabled researchers in many different domains to capture data in a way they had never been able to do before. In agriculture, for example, ploughs would get sensors that would send little bits of information to a central system (over satellite). Every couple of feet these sensors would measure what’s in the ground (minerals for example), how humid the ground is etc. Based on that, large agriculture companies would then be able to make better decisions on where to grow which crop.
The problem was that traditional systems to store this massive amount of small data (relational databases) were no longer adequate to store this information. Systems like MapReduce and Hadoop were created as an alternative and would store these massive volumes of files as concatenated “Big” files. Big Data was born, Big Data for semi-structured data.
The SI Organization recently embarked on deploying a new enterprise infrastructure as part of a divestiture from Lockheed Martin. Enterprise systems were stood up to execute business and leveraged the cloud to the fullest extent possible.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Steve DeLuca, CIO at The SI Organization, will discuss the landscape and lessons learned from this experience.
Steve DeLuca is the Chief Information Officer at The SI Organization, Inc. responsible for the SI’s IT operations as well as leveraging technology to help the SI’s Intelligence Community (IC) customers achieve their missions. Following the SI’s divestiture from Lockheed Martin, he and his team deployed a new IT enterprise infrastructure in under ten months.
If you believe that you’ve had to learn more about the safe online operation and ongoing management of your PC than you ever wanted to know, then you’ll be pleased to discover that there’s relief on the horizon. According to the latest market study by Gartner, the reign of the personal computer is coming to an apparent close. By 2014, the personal cloud will replace the personal computer — and this transition will likely include greater use of media tablets, chromebooks or other similar devices.
Gartner analysts said the personal cloud will become the foundation for a new era that will provide users with an increased level of flexibility with the devices they use for daily activities — leveraging the strengths of each device, ultimately enabling new levels of user satisfaction and productivity.

Today’s data isn’t just in one warehouse nor is it in one format. Data is no longer silo’ed in perfectly structured relational databases, but rather unstructured across the broader internet. Thus, traditional ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) architectures do not apply. Less than 1% of all web data is available via API, and extraction tools must […]
