Join us at Cloud Expo June 6-8 to find out how to securely connect your cloud
app to any cloud or on-premises data source - without complex firewall
changes.
More users are demanding access to on-premises data from their cloud
applications. It's no longer a "nice-to-have" but an important differentiator
that drives competitive advantages. It's the new "must have" in the hybrid
era.
Users want capabilities that give them a unified view of the data to get
closer to customers and grow business. They're dealing with greater volumes
of data than ever before, and much of this resides behind corporate
firewalls. Traditional approaches for exposing this data, such as VPN and SSH
tunneling are difficult to manage and not engineered for the cloud.
If you want to create a frictionless data access experience for your
customers, join us at Cloud Expo, June 6-8 in New York City.... (more)

In the age of global cyberattacks, corporate enterprises and government
agencies that have some type of cloud-based network solutions should be
looking at a strategic design focus that guarantees a very secure intelligent
infrastructure unsusceptible to cyberattacks or natural disasters.
Hardening an organization's data center as well as its networks (and clouds)
is a critical step to ensuring its business continuity. In today's corporate
business environment, many organizations cannot survive if their core
applications are out-of-service for a couple of days.
Forget "disaster recovery" as it's a dated term, like data processing, and is
a dated concept. More resilient systems, which are not susceptible to
disasters and outages, are what should be planned and designed, especially
for any organization's mission-critical applications.
Business continuity, where enterpri... (more)

What Is the Domain Name System (DNS)?
Imagine how difficult it would be to use the Internet if you had to remember
dozens of number combinations to do anything. The Domain Name System (DNS)
was created in 1983 to enable humans to easily identify all the computers,
services, and resources connected to the Internet by name—instead of by
Internet Protocol (IP) address, an increasingly difficult-to-memorize string
of information. Think of all the website domain names you know off the top of
your head and how hard it would be to memorize specific IP addresses for all
those domain names. Think of DNS as the Internet’s phone book. A DNS server
translates the domain names you type into a browser, like www.f5.com, into an
IP address (104.219.105.148), which allows your device to find the resource
you’re looking for on the Internet.
DNS is a hierarchical distributed naming sy... (more)
Bridging the Gap with MongoDB on AWS
MongoDB Atlas leverages VPC peering for AWS, a service that allows multiple
VPC networks to interact. This includes VPCs that belong to other AWS account
holders. By performing cross account VPC peering, users ensure networks that
host and communicate their data are secure.
In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Jay Gordon, a Developer Advocate at
MongoDB, will explain how to properly architect your VPC using existing AWS
tools and then peer with your MongoDB Atlas cluster. He'll discuss the
security advantages you immediately gain, easier configuration of
whitelisting networks and potential cost savings on bandwidth.

I was recently on a business trip out to Wausau, WI. The purpose was to
conduct a training session on web application development for a new batch of
associates at our onshore development center. When I picked up my rental car
at the airport, I was very happy to discover it had built in Bluetooth
integration for my phone. I have this feature on both cars at home. I love
the convenience of having the car become an accessory for my mobile device. I
immediately bound my phone with the car's Bluetooth. Then something unusual
happened. My phone prompted me with a question: ‘Chevy/Malibu would like
access to your contacts list, click OK to grant request.' My first reaction
was no, and canceled the request. Each time I started the car, it would
persistently ask the question. My curiosity got the better of me, and I
finally relinquished and said OK to see what happened next.... (more)

In their Live Hack" presentation at 17th Cloud Expo, Stephen Coty and Paul
Fletcher, Chief Security Evangelists at Alert Logic, provided the audience
with a chance to see a live demonstration of the common tools cyber attackers
use to attack cloud and traditional IT systems.
This "Live Hack" useds open source attack tools that are free and available
for download by anybody. Attendees learned where to find and how to operate
these tools for the purpose of testing their own IT infrastructure. They also
witnessed a cyber-attack from both sides - attacker and defender. An inside

It has become clear that we'll need much higher efficiency user experiences that can allow us to more easily and scalably work with the thousands of devices that will soon be in each of our lives.

Jun. 5, 2017 08:30 PM EDT Reads: 6,029 | By Elizabeth White  You know you need the cloud, but you’re hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You’re looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you’re concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

In his keynote at @ThingsExpo, Chris Matthieu, Director of IoT Engineering at Citrix and co-founder and CTO of Octoblu, focused on building an IoT platform and company. He provided a behind-the-scenes look at Octoblu’s platform, business, and pivots along the way (including the Citrix acquisition of Octoblu).
In order to meet the rapidly changing demands of today’s customers, companies are continually forced to redefine their business strategies in order to meet these needs, stay relevant and continue to see profitable growth. IoT deployment and development is integral in this transformation, and today businesses are increasingly seeing the value of investing their resources into IoT deployments. These technologies are able increase ROI through projects such as connecting supply chains or enabling smart office capabilities for employees. 
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to change everything by enabling “smart” environments (homes, cities, hospitals, schools, stores, etc.) and smart products (cars, trucks, airplanes, trains, wind turbines, lawnmowers, etc.). I recently wrote about the importance of moving beyond “connected” to “smart” in a blog titled “Internet of Things: Connected Does Not Equal Smart”. The article discusses the importance of moving beyond just collecting the data, to transitioning to leveraging this new wealth of IoT data to improve the decisions that these smart environments and products need to make: t...

Multiple data types are pouring into IoT deployments. Data is coming in small packages as well as enormous files and data streams of many sizes. Widespread use of mobile devices adds to the total. In this power panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists will look at the tools and environments that are being put to use in IoT deployments, as well as the team skills a modern enterprise IT shop needs to keep things running, get a handle on all this data, and deliver the analytics that add value.
Machine learning, AI, cognitive computing, natural language understanding, image recognition, pattern matching, autonomous devices – these are just a few of 2017’s loosely defined catchall phrases. But in practice, they each refer to a significant field of study that is guaranteed to have an impact on the way people live and how business is done. So here are five things that you, as the leader of an organization that is singularly focused on creating shareholder value (however you define it), need to know
