Surprising Solutions to the Mobile Content Delivery Dilemma
From EMEA to APAC to the EU, growth in mobile devices and consumption of
Internet bandwidth have grown at an incredible rate. One of the features of
mobile devices that consumers like best is the ability to have their
experience tailored to their geographic location, demographic profile,
behaviors and preferences. These capabilities have greatly enhanced the user
experience by providing users with information that is most relevant to them,
whether that means finding the closest gas station, locating the best sushi
restaurant within a city block or finding the best deal on a new pair of
shoes while riding the bus to work.
Understandably, global mobile data usage is growing at a CAGR of 53 percent
and will reach more than 30.6 exabytes per month in 2016, according to
Cisco's Visual Networking Index. Interest... (more)
IoT - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Technology vendors and analysts are eager to paint a rosy picture of how
wonderful IoT is and why your deployment will be great with the use of their
products and services. While it is easy to showcase successful IoT solutions,
identifying IoT systems that missed the mark or failed can often provide more
in the way of key lessons learned.

for IoT & Digital Supply Chain to Flatiron Strategies, will focus on how IoT
deployments can go bad, and in some cases downright ... (more)
Bridging Big Data and IoT
Big Data has been changing the world. IoT fuels the further transformation
recently. How are Big Data and IoT related?
In his session at @BigDataExpo, Tony Shan, a renowned visionary and thought
leader, will explore the interplay of Big Data and IoT. He will anatomize Big
Data and IoT separately in terms of what, which, why, where, when, who, how
and how much. He will then analyze the relationship between IoT and Big Data,
specifically the drilldown of how the 4Vs of Big Data (Volume, Variety,
Velocity and Value) intersect with the 4Cs of IoT (Connectiv... (more)
It's Complicated - Choosing the Right AWS Services
Without a clear strategy for cost control and an architecture designed with
cloud services in mind, costs and operational performance can quickly get out
of control. To avoid multiple architectural redesigns requires extensive
thought and planning. Boundary (now part of BMC) launched a new public-facing
multi-tenant high resolution monitoring service on Amazon AWS two years ago,
facing challenges and learning best practices in the early days of the new
service.

Using Data Science to Solve Cloud Security Challenges
Most of us already know that adopting new cloud applications can boost a
business's productivity by enabling organizations to be more agile and ready
to change course in our fast-moving and connected digital world. But the
rapid adoption of cloud apps and services also brings with it profound
security threats, including visibility and control challenges that aren't
present in traditional on-premises environments. At the same time, the cloud
- because of its interconnected, flexible and adaptable nature - can also
provide new... (more)
The Hybrid Era: Where Is All the Private Cloud?
Enterprise IT has been in the era of Hybrid Cloud for some time now. But it
seems most conversations about Hybrid are focused on integrating AWS,
Microsoft Azure, or Google ECM into existing on-premises systems. Where is
all the Private Cloud? What do technology providers need to do to make their
offerings more compelling? How should enterprise IT executives and buyers
define their focus, needs, and roadmap, and communicate that clearly to the
providers?

The first three rules for winning in this age of hyper-digital transformation are:
Advantages in speed, analytics and operational tempos must be captured by implementing an optimized information logistics system (OILS)
Real-time operational tempos (IT, people and business processes) must be achieved
Businesses that can "analyze data and act and with speed" will dominate those t...

I spend all day telling the world how I'm feeling, but none of the other sensors seem to care.
I want to be connected. I want to build relationships with other sensors to be more useful for my human. I want my human to understand that when my friends next door are too hot for a while, I'll soon be flaming. And when all my friends go outside without me, I may be left behind.
Don't just log my data; use the relationship graph.

Organizations have key business processes that they are constantly trying to re-engineer. These key business processes – loan approvals, college applications, mortgage underwriting, product and component testing, credit applications, medical reviews, employee hiring, environmental testing, requests for proposals, contract bidding, etc. – go through multiple steps, usually involving multiple people with different skill sets, with a business outcome at the end (accept/reject, bid/no bid, pass/fail, retest, reapply, etc.). And while these processes typically include “analytics” that report on ho...
Some mainstream IT buyers might think that most cloud infrastructure vendors and service providers are essentially alike. But there are key differences. Besides, given the body of market research to the contrary, there’s clearly no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" cloud solution.
Furthermore, if you believe that a hybrid cloud should support an IT agenda to transform a business, then a viable solution must consider the preexisting systems of record within the enterprise. That’s why forward-thinking CIOs often seek information and guidance on two fronts.
First, they want to know how to ext...

Since cloud computing has made big leaps in the past few years by emerging as a conventional business tool, several strategies have consequently surfaced. These myths aren't necessarily as risky as they were initially presented to be, but they certainly affect our methods of approaching solutions in the cloud computing space.
Explosion of data volumes. Interoperability of systems. Large servers in the sky that can analyze enormous amounts of data, compute complex algorithms in real time, and communicate in microseconds. Mobile communication through devices that patients, providers and staff all carry all the time. What does this all mean for hospital operations? Based on working with dozens of hospitals and conversations with 100+ others, we think the near future of hospital operations is quite exciting. Call it what you will - "Hospital 2.0," "No Waiting Rooms," "Hospital Operations Center" - the basic building bl...
I was reading an interview with John Krafcik, CEO of Google’s Self-driving Car Project, in the August 8th issue of Bloomberg BusinessWeek. The article referenced a survey by AlixPartners where they found that 73% of people wanted autonomous vehicles. But when people had the option to have a steering wheel in the car, allowing optional full control to the driver, the acceptance rate jumped to 90%. This finding, that people are much more accepting of automation and new ideas when they have the option of control, is totally consistent with what we found with respect to how to deliver big data ...
Since its introduction in 2009, Microsoft Azure has gone through a significant transformation. What started as a hardcore set of platform services is now a force to be reckoned within the infrastructure market as well.
According to Gartner, Azure is inching closer to AWS, firmly securing its place in the top right section of the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Magic Quadrant, which is reserved only for the market leaders.
The global wireless health market by products encompasses ECG monitors, insulin monitors, neuromonitors such as EEG and EMG devices.
Recent estimations show that an astounding 1.8 million people across the world will be using wireless remote monitoring devices by 2017. Many of these users will be those suffering from chronic diseases. To put that into perspective, consider this: about 75% of all healthcare expenditure worldwide is spent on patients suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, and Alzheimers, and cardiovascular problems. Grappling with these issues, the healthcar...
The explosion of cloud onto the enterprise scene has, literally, revolutionized how businesses across the size spectrum do business, yet there’s a price tag tucked into this cloud’s silver lining that smart decision-makers should pay heed to.
This is the era of what I like to call the consumerization of enterprise software. It’s bringing tremendous benefit to the business world, but it’s also bringing a great deal of change, particularly to the understanding of how business software adoption and use is done, and enterprises of all sizes need to familiarize themselves with best practices-under...
