Ten Tips on How to Maximize Your @CloudExpo and @ThingsExpo Sponsorship
Benefits
@CloudExpo and @ThingsExpo, two of the most important technology events in
the world, have hosted hundreds of sponsors and exhibitors since their launch
10 years ago.
In this blog post, I provide 10 tips on how our sponsors and exhibitors can
maximize their participation at our events. But before reading my top 10 tips
for our sponsors and exhibitors, please take a moment and watch this brief
Sandy Carter video.
"Cloud Expo was really the event to connect with thought leaders, innovators,
business folks who are interested in what the cloud can bring to their
business. You know really how it allows them to bring the transformation of
the business process."

It seems as if the whole world wants to talk about Industry 4.0 (or Industrie
4.0 if you prefer the European spelling). Industry 4.0 is embodied by two
main buzz worthy topics known as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data /
Advanced Analytics.
What Is Industry 4.0?
The "4.0" references what many consider to be the fourth major industrial
revolution. The first being the utilization of machines, the second involving
assembly lines and mass production, the third employing automation, and now
the fourth: cyber physical systems (machines communicating with one another).
That modest single digit pales in comparison to the other numbers that are
bantered about when talking about Industry 4.0. Most estimate that there will
be 22.5 Billion IoT devices by 2021 - or roughly three for every one person
on earth. Along with that is the prediction that $4.8 trillion will be

Who is accountable for SSH-related, key-based access in your organization? In
many enterprises, this is not clear, leading to assumptions that leave you
vulnerable to attack and compliance violations as well. This article will
address the challenge of SSH user key-based access from the perspective of
compliance.
It's all about access control. All the regulations, laws and frameworks exist
to ensure, at a minimum, that protected data (PII, ePHI, credit card data,
etc.) has authorized access. It doesn't matter whether that access is being
requested by a machine, admin or business user. The fact is that:
Oversight and control are sorely lacking in many organizations. They do not
have visibility into SSH user key-based trusts or monitoring capabilities.
They lack processes for provisioning ownership, revocation and rotation of
keys. There is no ownership of the access b... (more)

The Need for the Public Cloud Alternative
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.

Private cloud infrastructure based on composable technologies result in
environments that are suitable for all your workloads while also providing
you with many of the benefits of the public cloud, and without the pitfalls.
Composable infrastructure is an emerging ... (more)

How to Realize New Opportunities for Innovation and Growth with Blockchain
Technologies
Blockchain is a shared, secure record of exchange that establishes trust,
accountability and transparency across supply chain networks. Supported by
the Linux Foundation's open source, open-standards based Hyperledger Project,
Blockchain has the potential to improve regulatory compliance, reduce cost
and time for product recall as well as advance trade. Are you curious about
Blockchain and how it can provide you with new opportunities for innovation
and growth?

If IoT Is the Meteor, Is OT the Dinosaur?
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Sudarshan Krishnamurthi, a Senior Manager,
Business Strategy, at Cisco Systems,discussed how IT and operational
technology (OT) work together, as opposed to being in separate siloes as once
was traditional. Attendees learned how to fully leverage the power of IoT in
their organization by bringing the two sides together and bridging the
communication gap.

He also looked at what good leadership must entail in order to accomplish
this, and how IT managers can be the drivers of change within their
organizations. He also discussed the skill sets needed to ensure that the

The ‘Known Unknown' of Big Data in IoT: How Big Will Your Data Grow and By
When?
IoT is at the core or many Digital Transformation initiatives with the goal
of re-inventing a company's business model. We all agree that collecting
relevant IoT data will result in massive amounts of data needing to be
stored. However, with the rapid development of IoT devices and ongoing
business model transformation, we are not able to predict the volume and
growth of IoT data. And with the lack of IoT history, traditional methods of
IT and infrastructure planning based on the past do not apply either.

In preparation for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance, a global 100 financial services organization embarked on a journey to assess its core information processing environments with the objective of identifying opportunities to strengthen its data privacy protection programs. This article focuses on the technology challenges, approach, and lessons learned for the centralized testing environment.
If you read a lot of business and technology publications, you might think public clouds are universally preferred over all other cloud options. To be sure, the numbers posted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft’s Azure platform are nothing short of impressive. Statistics reveal that public clouds are growing faster than private clouds and analysts at IDC predict that public cloud growth will be 3 times that of private clouds by 2019.
The winning trinity in competitive decision-making includes people, ideas and things according to the renowned military strategist John Boyd. Although competitive decision-making is not yet an Olympic sport, it affects us all. Leaders (people) must become trained experts at using digital technologies to make fast decisions. Leaders must use the right strategies and methodologies (ideas) to make wise decisions fast, and they must collect the needed data and analyze it fast enough using the best solutions (things). If any component of this trinity is weak, it will be hard to compete.
From manual human effort the world is slowly paving its way to a new space where most process are getting replaced with tools and systems to improve efficiency and bring down operational costs. Automation is the next big thing and low code platforms are fueling it in a significant way.
The Automation era is here. We are in the fast pace of replacing manual human efforts with machines and processes. In the world of Information Technology too, we are linking disparate systems, softwares and tools to make things self sustaining. This is called Automation.It has been helping companies overcome t...
The renowned military strategist John Boyd taught that people and institutions collect favorite philosophies, strategies, theories and ideologies over a period of time, and then try to align the future to fit them. The problem with this is the future is rarely like the past, and trying to fit new data into old paradigms often forces us to perform irrational mental gymnastics, which leaves us farther from the truth.
Deep learning has been very successful in social sciences and specially areas where there is a lot of data. Trading is another field that can be viewed as social science with a lot of data. With the advent of Deep Learning and Big Data technologies for efficient computation, we are finally able to use the same methods in investment management as we would in face recognition or in making chat-bots.
