SYS-CON Events announced today that Venafi, the Immune System for the
InternetTM and the leading provider of Next Generation Trust Protection, will
exhibit at @DevOpsSummit at 19th International Cloud Expo, which will take
place on November 1-3, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa
Clara, CA.
Venafi is the Immune System for the InternetTM that protects the foundation
of all cybersecurity - cryptographic keys and digital certificates - so they
can't be misused by bad guys in attacks. In today's connected world,
cybercriminals want to gain trusted status and remain undetected, which makes
keys and certificates a prime target. Unfortunately, most security systems
blindly trust keys and certificates, allowing bad guys to use them to hide in
encrypted traffic, spoof websites, deploy malware, and steal data. As the
Immune System for the Internet, Venafi pa... (more)
One of the greatest challenges facing business and government organizations
is how to store and move sensitive data around the world while maintaining
security. Storing and securing critical data held within data centers
(whether physical or virtual) is top of mind from the boardroom to the remote
data center. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide
Quarterly Cloud IT Infrastructure Tracker, spending on private cloud IT
infrastructure in 2015 will grow by 15.8 percent year over year to $12.1
billion, while spending on public cloud IT infrastructure will in... (more)

increased reliance on cloud-based services, service providers must build
security and trust into their offerings, adding value to customers and
improving the user experience. Making identity, security and privacy easy for
customers provides a unique advantage over the competition.

In a series of articles, I am going to share my thoughts on the state of IT
infrastructure and how we've arrived with current architecture trends. The
topic today is SAN.
Storage Area Networking (SAN) is a technology that solved a real problem that
existed a couple decades ago. SANs have been a foundational piece of IT
infrastructure architecture for a long time and have helped drive major
innovations in storage. But how relevant are SANs today in the age of
software-defined datacenters? Let's talk about how we have arrived at modern
storage architecture.
First, disk arrays w... (more)

Aug. 22, 2016 08:00 PM EDT Reads: 3,708 | By Elizabeth White  Deploying applications in hybrid cloud environments is hard work. Your team spends most of the time maintaining your infrastructure, configuring dev/test and production environments, and deploying applications across environments – which can be both time consuming and error prone. But what if you could automate provisioning and deployment to deliver error free environments faster? What could you do with your free time?

The more business becomes digital the more stakeholders are interested in this data including how it relates to business. Some of these people have never used a monitoring tool before.

Cloud Expo 2016 New York at the Javits Center New York was characterized by increased attendance and a new focus on operations. These were both encouraging signs for all involved in Cloud Computing and all that it touches.
As Conference Chair, I work with the Cloud Expo team to structure three keynotes, numerous general sessions, and more than 150 breakout sessions along 10 tracks. Our job is to balance the state of enterprise IT today with the trends that will be commonplace tomorrow.

It's been a busy time for tech's ongoing infatuation with containers. Amazon just announced EC2 Container Registry to simply container management. The new Azure container service taps into Microsoft's partnership with Docker and Mesosphere. You know when there's a standard for containers on the table there's money on the table, too.
Everyone is talking containers because they reduce a ton of development-related challenges and make it much easier to move across production and testing environments and clouds. Containers are the technology that, many believe, deliver on the long-promised port...
Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docker deployments are different: a set of containers may run many applications, all sharing the resources of one or more underlying hosts. It's not uncommon for Docker servers to run thousands of short-te...
Smart Cities are here to stay, but for their promise to be delivered, the data they produce must not be put in new siloes.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mathias Herberts, Co-founder and CTO of Cityzen Data, will deep dive into best practices that will ensure a successful smart city journey. 
This is an unusual blog for me. Usually I talk about how organizations can more effectively leverage data and analytics to power their business. However, as I conduct more Big Data Vision Workshops, I have come to realize that a big part of the success of these engagements is the ability to “listen and comprehend.”
Here are some observations and tips for “listening and comprehending” more effectively. I’ve classified this as “facilitation” because I seek to “facilitate” a dialogue with the client where I can learn enough about the client’s business to help them build the right Big Data busine...
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of companies in the world: data rich and data poor. The richest of the data rich are easy to name: Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple. But you don’t need to be at the top of this list to use data to create value. You need to have the tools in place to turn information (data) into action. That’s what the data rich do that the data poor and the data middle class do not.
The development of your app isn’t something that happens overnight, but rather it is something that takes place over time and through multiple iterations. While you may have developed the framework for your app already, improving engagement and innovating to provide a better user experience is a completely different process. There are plenty of ways that you can improve user engagement, but these five strategies will help you improve your app while also reducing the risk that your “innovative” updates actually decrease user engagement. 
As good Venn diagrams always show it's the intersection areas that offer the sweet spot for trends and markets, and an especially potent one is the intersection of Cloud computing, with the blockchain and also digital identity, particularly when considered within contexts such as Digital Democracy.
Given the diversity of each field alone there are multiple perspectives to this, more the start of a conversation rather than a definitive design.
Every time I call up any customer support and hear the familiar 'all our representatives are busy dealing with other customers,' that my call is very important to them and from the more technologically advanced ones that I am 'fourth in the queue and my approximate wait time is 23 minutes,' I wonder why can't they simply call me back when they are free? They already have my contact number. Some of them actually play some music while I wait - which is still better than those who actually take that opportunity to inform me about their new products.
