Nutanix Enterprise Cloud for DevOps
DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without
both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated
technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections
between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die. A Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud has many benefits that provide the needed base for a true
DevOps paradigm.
In his Day 3 Keynote at 20th Cloud Expo, Chris Brown, a Solutions Marketing
Manager at Nutanix, will explore the ways that Nutanix technologies empower
teams to react faster than ever before and connect teams in ways that were
either too complex or simply impossible with traditional infrastructures
Speaker Bio
Chris Brown is a Solutions Marketing Manager at Nutanix. He has 6 years of IT
experience, with the majority of that time being spent in tec... (more)
Operational Hadoop and the Lambda Architecture for Streaming Data
Apache Hadoop is emerging as a distributed platform for handling large and
fast incoming streams of data. Predictive maintenance, supply chain
optimization, and Internet-of-Things analysis are examples where Hadoop
provides the scalable storage, processing, and analytics platform to gain
meaningful insights from granular data that is typically only valuable from a
large-scale, aggregate view. One architecture useful for capturing and
analyzing streaming data is the Lambda Architecture, representing a model of
how to analyze real-time and historical data together.
In his session at Big Data Expo, Dale Kim, Director of Industry Solutions at
MapR, covered the practice of capturing canonical data "as it lands" as a
baseline for accommodating future analytics requirements.

Many of my blogs promote the business benefits of the data lake, both from a
“save me more money” as well as the “make me more money”
perspectives. But I fear that I’m making this thing called the data lake
sound like a “silver bullet" [1] – just drop the data into the data lake
and everything magically works. But much like in the world of data
warehousing, there is significant work that needs to be done under the covers
– in areas such as metadata management, data governance and security – to
ensure that the data lake will perform for a business in a production
environment. Many of the processes and techniques we learned in the data
warehouse will benefit us here, though there are many new tools to be aware
of that can help us in the operationalization task.
I’ve asked an industry expert in metadata management and data governance,

What to Look for When Choosing a Serverless Architecture
By Sunil Mavadia
Information Technology has advanced in different areas at different speeds.
This has always been true, as people found workable solutions to the problems
that faced them today, most often before there was a market for those
solutions. While things like virtualization and eventually cloud computing
grew slowly, programming languages sat at the same point for around a decade
before the current round of new languages and approaches—Python, Ruby,
Node, Swift—came about. These things seem unrelated, but there is a union
of the two sets of changes that we are about to see blossom.
That union is serverless computing. The joining of easily deployable
instances–ultimately in the form of containers–with the ubiquity of
REST-based APIs and the new programming languages that made REST-based APIs
an easy a... (more)
Building a Hybrid Data Pipeline for Salesforce and Hadoop
My team embarked on building a data lake for our sales and marketing data to
better understand customer journeys. This required building a hybrid data
pipeline to connect our cloud CRM with the new Hadoop Data Lake. One
challenge is that IT was not in a position to provide support until we proved
value and marketing did not have the experience, so we embarked on the
journey ourselves within the product marketing team for our line of business
within Progress.
In his session at @BigDataExpo, Sumit Sarkar, Product Marketing Engineer at
Progress, will discuss how the key to delivering on this was using standard
interfaces using a bi-directional data pipeline to connect the systems. On
the Salesforce side, we were able to get frictionless access to the data lake
using clicks-not-code via OData. On the Hadoop side,... (more)

DevOps in an Open and Heterogeneous World
Keeping pace with advancements in software delivery processes and tooling is
taxing even for the most proficient organizations. Point tools, platforms,
open source and the increasing adoption of private and public cloud services
requires strong engineering rigor - all in the face of developer demands to
use the tools of choice. As Agile has settled in as a mainstream practice,
now DevOps has emerged as the next wave to improve software delivery speed
and output. To make DevOps work, organizations must focus on what is most
relevant to deliver value, reduce IT c... (more)

Bringing Real-Time, Interactive Analytics to the Financial Industry
The financial services market is one of the most data-driven industries in
the world, yet it's bogged down by legacy CPU technologies that simply can't
keep up with the task of querying and visualizing billions of records.
In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Jared Parker, Director of Financial
Services at Kinetica, will discuss how the advent of advanced in-database
analytics on the GPU makes it possible to run sophisticated data science
workloads on the same database that is housing the rich information needed to
drive trading decisions. With the unique multi-core architecture of the GPU,
financial computations can be processed efficiently and quickly, making it
ideal for financial services streaming datasets. He will share how several
financial institutions' quantitative science groups are specifical... (more)

The tools that you currently use to manage the software and hardware outside the cloud aren’t always the best tools to efficiently grow into the cloud. All of the major configuration management tools have cloud orchestration plugins that can be leveraged, but there are also cloud-native tools that can dramatically improve the efficiency of managing your application lifecycle.
