Container technology is sending shock waves through the world of cloud computing. Heralded as the 'next big thing,' containers provide software owners a consistent way to package their software and dependencies while infrastructure operators benefit from a standard way to deploy and run them. Containers present new challenges for tracking usage due to their dynamic nature. They can also be deployed to bare metal, virtual machines and various cloud platforms. How do software owners track the usag...
There is no question that the cloud is where businesses want to host data. Until recently hypervisor virtualization was the most widely used method in cloud computing. Recently virtual containers have been gaining in popularity, and for good reason. In the debate between virtual machines and containers, the latter have been seen as the new kid on the block - and like other emerging technology have had some initial shortcomings. However, the container space has evolved drastically since coming on...

Business operations become the key driver of IoT applications and projects. Business operations, IT, and data scientists need advanced analytics t...
Despite working in the digital space for years, now I was quite stumped a few weeks ago when I was asked to define it. Sometimes you can get away by circumlocution or to use the technically correct term, waffling. But given all the hype around digital transformation, I felt that it was a good time to try and get a working definition going. For one it helps to cut the hype. And two, clarifies what is NOT digital at a time when the label is being slapped around with abandon.
August 10, 2015, saw the dawn of a new era at Google. It announced a huge restructuring of the company. An umbrella holding-company called Alphabet was created to manage a portfolio of separate companies each with its own CEO. Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin elevated themselves to be the CEO and President of Alphabet with Eric Schmidt as chairman. The board will remain the same as before. For the biggest company Google, the new CEO is Sundar Pichai, 43 years old, who has seen fast rise in the ranks over his 11 year career. The other portfolio companies will be Nest, Fiber, GoogleX, Calico,...
Four years ago, if you asked me for recommendations on the best solution for a mobile application on multiple platforms, I would have doubtless told you to use a MEAP (Mobile Enterprise Application Platform) or a MCAP (Mobile Consumer Application Platform) depending on the business case. Three years ago, it would have been a MADP (Mobile Application Development Platform) solution because the two terms merged. Two years ago, I probably would have told you that the merging of the terms was a bad idea and to use an MCAP solution with an BaaS (Backend as a Service). Last year, I would have told y...
There are many parallels to Google’s move to set up Alphabet as a holding company to remain at the forefront of innovation and what is required by all companies to foster innovation in the age of the Cloud and IoT. No one will argue that Alphabet was a change Google needed to make to remain relevant, fresh and innovative across a number of product initiatives. Under the Alphabet structure, Google provides operating divisions with the freedom and accountability for making decisions all while being nimble and quick on their feet. And perhaps most importantly, keeping their most creative people e...
The IoT is upon us, but today’s databases, built on 30-year-old math, require multiple platforms to create a single solution.

During the last two #IoTuesday Twitter sessions, our chats have centered on what it will take to capitalize on the Internet of Things (IoT) opportunity and what the industry’s collective responsibility is to break down barriers to adoption. Topics ranged from the evolution of the Industrial Internet to consumer IoT applications to the role of APIs and API management. And underlying all of this, how we move from today’s connected devices and vertical siloes to a horizontal IoT marketplace with interconnectivity at its core. In this month’s IoT chat we will be joined by Alex Bakker and Ron Exler...
Regardless of what they are looking up, travelers’ first experience is on the go. Users are under pressure, trying to figure something out without wasting any precious time. They are distracted – navigating a busy ticket counter or conversing in a foreign language with a street vendor. The decisions they make at that moment really matter, and can mean the difference between a pleasant flight and a missed connection. Reliability of your app is key in these situations. If the app is slow, unresponsive, or difficult to understand, your user will give up.
‘FDA tells hospitals to stop using a pump that is vulnerable to hackers.’.This headline was all over the internet and news this weekend, with the pump in question being a medical infusion pump that automatically administers dosages of medication to patients in a hospital. A vulnerability was identified that would give ‘hackers the ability to access the pump remotely through a hospital's network,’ according to the FDA. A hacker would be able to take remote control of the device and change the dosage of medication being administered. As part of the reporting, many of the cable news shows started...

AI cannot be all that bad and it can be most useful in answering questions of great importance, fast and accurate based on knowledge.
IBM's Watson products (Watson for Oncology, Discovery Advisor and Engagement Advi sor) are based on harvesting massive amount ...
The word digital has been with us for years, but today it’s experiencing a renaissance, as enterprises in every industry reinvent themselves as software-driven organizations. And yet, digital paradoxically isn’t about software. Digital is all about the customer.
The only reason technology is central to the digital movement is because more than ever before, customer preferences and behavior are driving enterprise technology decisions. Customers—consumers as well as business-to-business—demand diversity in their technology touchpoints, ranging from computers to televisions smartphones to wearab...
What if, during a snow emergency, an on-the-ground sensor could automatically trigger a relevant emergency notification related to snowfall and road impact. And then, after it’s triggered, that notification is delivered intelligently to individuals based on an extensive set of rules designed to alert the most available and capable responders.
This “what if” question about “smart highways” is short-sighted. We are already there, and we are only getting started. While mainstream attention is paid to machine-to-machine communications, new technologies are being developed to make these communica...
