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 However, applying the culture to outdated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

Moving Fast with Microservices: Building and Deploying Containerized
Applications in a Cloud-Native World
As software becomes more and more complex, we, as software developers, have
been splitting up our code into smaller and smaller components.
This is also true for the environment in which we run our code: going from
bare metal, to VMs to the modern-day Cloud Native world of containers,
schedulers and microservices.
While we have figured out how to run containerized applications in the cloud
using schedulers, we've yet to come up with a good solution to bridge the gap
between getting your containers from your laptop to the cloud.

Ed was demoralized. He had just heard a speaker who would change his life. He
knew he needed to change, and he knew what the end goal was. He just didn't
know how to get there. He needed fresh air. He needed endorphins. What better
way to do that than go on a 6-hour run through some of the seedier
neighborhoods of Vegas to the edge of the desert.

Insane in the Mainframe?
By Lisa Wells
This is the burning question these days for the great minds of the
enterprise regardless of industry! The digital revolution changes the way we

environments that were never designed to meet these challenges.
Even today, 96% of enterprises involve mainframes in their new business
initiatives. Forrester recently worked with Compuware to do some analysis and

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

@DevOpsSummit Stories By Liz McMillan  The essence of cloud computing is that all consumable IT resources are delivered as services. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Yung Chou, Technology Evangelist at Microsoft, demonstrated the concepts and implementations of two important cloud computing deliveries: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). He discussed from business and technical viewpoints what exactly they are, why we care, how they are different and in what ways, and the strategies for IT to transition into and take advantages of these emerging service models. Mar. 27, 2017 05:00 AM EDT Reads: 6,130 | By Elizabeth White  Culture is the most important ingredient of DevOps. The challenge for most organizations is defining and communicating a vision of beneficial DevOps culture for their organizations, and then facilitating the changes needed to achieve that. Often this comes down to an ability to provide true leadership. As a CIO, are your direct reports IT managers or are they IT leaders? The hard truth is that many IT managers have risen through the ranks based on their technical skills, not their leadership ability. Many are unable to effectively engage and inspire, creating forward momentum in the direction of desired change. Renowned for its approach to leadership and emphasis on their people, organizations increasingly look to our military for insight into these challenges.

That organizational culture is influenced by the personalities and management styles of Executive Management, the wider culture in which the organization is situated, and the personalities of key team members at all levels of the organization. This culture and entrenched interests usually throw a wrench in the works because of misaligned incentives.

Mar. 27, 2017 02:15 AM EDT Reads: 4,136 | By Liz McMillan  Virtualization over the past years has become a key strategy for IT to acquire multi-tenancy, increase utilization, develop elasticity and improve security. And virtual machines (VMs) are quickly becoming a main vehicle for developing and deploying applications. The introduction of containers seems to be bringing another and perhaps overlapped solution for achieving the same above-mentioned benefits. Are a container and a virtual machine fundamentally the same or different? And how? Is one technically superior to the other? What about performance and security? Does IT need either one, or both?

Mar. 26, 2017 06:30 PM EDT Reads: 2,054 | By Liz McMillan  Providing the needed data for application development and testing is a huge headache for most organizations. The problems are often the same across companies - speed, quality, cost, and control. Provisioning data can take days or weeks, every time a refresh is required. Using dummy data leads to quality problems. Creating physical copies of large data sets and sending them to distributed teams of developers eats up expensive storage and bandwidth resources. And, all of these copies proliferating the organization can lead to inconsistent masking and exposure of sensitive data.
But some organizations are adopting a new method of data management for DevOps that is delivering transformational business outcomes in faster time to market, lower costs, and great control.

According to a roundup by Gartner, the average cost of downtime for an enterprise is $5,600 per minute. While the data collected was from incredibly large companies, the cost of downtime for even small startups is no laughing matter. Let's assume, for the sake of simplicity, that your core product is a web app that relies solely on organic sales, totaling $1 million in revenue a year. This amounts to about $2 in lost revenue per minute. This doesn't sound like too much in the grand scheme of thi...
DevOps is all the rage these days and with good reason as it promises to reduce the time-to-market for new applications. It also promises to improve change management, allowing teams to deploy changes to their applications quickly and efficiently.

In his session at DevOps Summit, Mark Thiele, EVP, Data Center Technologies at SUPERNAP International, discussed how to ge...
Big data is old news. Today, the key to leveraging data effectively is to do fast data.

End-user experience is everything when it comes to facilitating workplace productivity. You could deploy or develop the most powerful applications anyone has ever seen-but they won't do any good if they offer a poor experience.

But as cloud apps integrate more services and user bases diversify, IT ...
Given the popularity of the containers, further investment in the telco/cable industry is needed to transition existing VM-based solutions to containerized cloud native deployments. The networking architecture of the solution isolates the network traffic into different network planes (e.g., management, control, and media).
