How to Make Use of Serverless Compute Solutions for IoT Device Simulation
When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many
development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a
choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do
so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next
best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with
ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple
application or transport protocols, you would be looking at some significant
engineering investment.
On-demand, serverless computing enables developers to try out a fleet of
devices on IoT gateways with ease. With a sensor simulator built on top of
AWS Lambda, it's possible to elastically generate device sensors that report
their state to the cloud.... (more)
The origins of SAP GRC software goes back decades, but adoption has been
slow. But with the rigor of modern compliance regimes like SOX, coupled with
the sheer volume and complexity of online transactions, there's been an
accelerating movement away from document-centric review processes to
automation. There are a variety of SAP process control and access control
solutions that can monitor transactions, alert on potential SOD conflicts,
and facilitate remediation.
Companies implementing GRC software stick segregation of duties in IT for
obvious reasons:
IT handles the Basis administration, which implements the security model They
understand security concepts like the principle of least privilege Often,
they're the only ones who can make heads or tails of the SAP GRC software
output
But in reality, sticking segregation of duties in IT is asking for trouble.

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 However, applying the culture to outdated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.

Digital Experience: The Power of Brand and Mitigating Risk in the Age of
Digital Transformation
The current age of digital transformation means that IT organizations must
adapt their toolset to cover all digital experiences, beyond just the end
users'. Today's businesses can no longer focus solely on the digital
interactions they manage with employees or customers; they must now contend
with non-traditional factors. Whether it's the power of brand to make or
break a company, the need to monitor across all locations 24/7, or the
ability to proactively resolve issues, companies must adapt to the new world.
In his general session at 20th Cloud Expo, Leo Vasiliou, Director of Web
Performance Engineering at Catchpoint Systems, will explore some of the ways
in which you can mitigate the risk of a digital transformation and how to
protect your brand and grow revenue.

Evolution from Big Data to Smart Data
Download Slide Deck: ▸ Here
As organizations realize the scope of the Internet of Things, gaining key
insights from Big Data, through the use of advanced analytics, becomes
crucial.
However, IoT also creates the need for petabyte scale storage of data from
millions of devices. A new type of Storage is required which seamlessly
integrates robust data analytics with massive scale. These storage systems
will act as "smart systems" provide in-place analytics that speed discovery
and enable businesses to quickly derive meaningful and actionable insights.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Paul Turner, Chief Marketing Officer at
Cloudian, addressed how and where we'll see smart data first make an impact.

Building the Future of Monitoring with Artificial Intelligence
Today we can collect lots and lots of performance data. We build beautiful
dashboards and even have fancy query languages to access and transform the
data. Still performance data is a secret language only a couple of people
understand. 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. They have a question on
their mind like "How is my application doing" but no idea how to get a proper
answer.

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.).
