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 However, applying the culture to outdated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 general session 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.

What is cognitive computing, and how is it alike -- or different -- from
artificial intelligence (AI)?
Judith Hurwitz: What's key in building traditional systems is that they begin
with process and logic, attempting to answer the question, 'What am I trying
to do for my business?' You develop the logic, write the code and then flow
data into that. That doesn't work in this age of digital transformation,
where business logic and processes are constantly changing. In a cognitive
approach, you lead with the data and let it drive you to the right logic.
This is a very different way of approaching computing. In addition to data
helping determine the logic, cognitive computing applications are designed
to learn from human experts.

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.

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...
Industry after industry is under siege as companies embrace digital transformation (DX) to disrupt existing business models and disintermediate their competitor’s customer relationships.

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
For a recent University of San Francisco MBA class, I wanted to put my students in a challenging situation where they would be forced to make difficult data science trade-offs between gathering data, preparing the data and performing the actual analysis.
The purpose of the exercise was to test their ability to “think like a data scientist” with respect to identifying and quantifying variables that might be better predictors of performance.
