The Reactive Edge: Reinventing the Edge Tier Using a Reactive Communication
Protocol
There is a huge demand for responsive, real-time mobile and web experiences,
but current architectural patterns do not easily accommodate applications
that respond to events in real time. Common solutions using message queues or
HTTP long-polling quickly lead to resiliency, scalability and development
velocity challenges.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Ryland Degnan, a Senior Software Engineer
on the Netflix Edge Platform team, will discuss how by leveraging a reactive
stream-based protocol, we have been able to solve many of these problems at
the communication layer. This makes it possible to create rich application
experiences and support use-cases such as mobile-to-mobile communication and
large file transfers that would be difficult or cost-prohibitive with
traditional ne... (more)
What's Driving Subscription Services?
From personal care products to groceries and movies on demand, cloud-based
subscriptions are fulfilling the needs of consumers across an array of market
sectors. Nowhere is this shift to subscription services more evident than in
the technology sector. By adopting an Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) delivery
model, companies are able to tailor their computing environments to shape the
experiences they want for customers as well as their workforce.
While the need to customize computing and technology services is a major
driver, there are a number of other factors fueling the growing global
corporate demand for XaaS. By securing utility-based offerings on a per-seat,
per-month model based on usage, companies have more control over costs and
can free up capital and resources to pursue new product and services
initiatives. XaaS elim... (more)

Is Hosted Private Cloud the Migration Path Less Taken?
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.
However, recent Forrester research shows that migration to a Hosted Private
Cloud is still a leading component of a Hybrid IT strategy for many
organizations:
"Hosted private cloud adoption rose significantly between 2015 and 2016 in
North America (28% to 33%). . . . Among all cloud adopters and planners, 36%
state that hosted private cloud is - or will be - their primary clo... (more)

Being experienced startup folks we are not scared of bleeding edge tech.
For instance, in 2005 we made the jump to virtual machines when most
companies hadn't even heard of virtualization, in order to create our cloud
platform, AppLogic. This time around we were already very familiar with
containers, including many of the limitations, and believed they offered a
lot of advantages in speed and cost so we decided to go with Docker running
on AWS.
Our engineers have written a lot of apps including both interactive user apps
and infrastructure level services and we're pretty adept at creating
stateless systems where that's possible. Unfortunately, some of the third
party software we needed to use, especially open source, wasn't written with
stateless in mind.
For us combining Dev and Ops wasn't a choice, but a necessity. We couldn't
afford another hire to run ops. N... (more)

Unlike legacy ERP systems that can cost several hundred thousand dollars in capital expenditure, cloud ERP is relatively a lot more affordable. They are also viewed as a lot more stable given that the data is stored on decentralized servers. But besides these, moving your ERP to the cloud can bring in a number of other lesser understood benefits.
In the decade following his article, cloud computing further cemented Carr’s perspective. Compute, storage, and network resources have become simple utilities, available at the proverbial turn of the faucet. The value they provide is immense, but the cloud playing field is amazingly level. Carr’s quote above presaged the cloud to a T.
Today, however, we’re in the digital era. Mark Andreesen’s ‘software is eating the world’ prognostication is coming to pass, as enterprises realize they must become software companies to remain competitive.
The value IT brings to such companies is unquestiona...
Companies have always been concerned that traditional enterprise software is slow and complex to install, often disrupting critical and time-sensitive operations during roll-out. With the growing need to integrate new digital technologies into the enterprise to transform business processes, this concern has become even more pressing. A 2016 Panorama Consulting Solutions study revealed that enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects took an average of 21 months to install, with 57 percent of these projects experiencing timeline overruns. A span of almost two years can be a long time when disr...
A common misconception about the cloud is that one size fits all. Companies expecting to run all of their operations using one cloud solution or service must realize that doing so is akin to forcing the totality of their business functionality into a straightjacket. Unlocking the full potential of the cloud means embracing the multi-cloud future where businesses use their own cloud, and/or clouds from different vendors, to support separate functions or product groups. There is no single cloud solution ideal for all applications, and some applications might not fit the cloud at all. For example...
The margins of cloud products like virtual machines are still in the 50% range. In essence, price drops are going to be a regular feature for the foreseeable future. This begets the question - are hosted solutions becoming irrelevant today? Boston-based market research firm, 451 Research, has been publishing their ‘Cloud Price Index' for a few years now. The quarterly study looks into the pricing of various offerings in the cloud market to understand the shifting dynamics in the public, private and hybrid cloud market. According to Dr. Owen Rogers from 451 Research, the approach here is simila...
Hybrid IT is today’s reality, and while its implementation may seem daunting at times, more and more organizations are migrating to the cloud. In fact, according to SolarWinds 2017 IT Trends Index: Portrait of a Hybrid IT Organization 95 percent of organizations have migrated crucial applications to the cloud in the past year. As such, it’s in every IT professional’s best interest to know what to expect. 
The reality of data ubiquity is here—data is buried in operational statistics, machine logs, stacks of overflowing tickets and customer details, among other things. How can any user get valuable information amid this rapid influx of data?
Imagine a situation where your firm’s revenue takes a hit owing to an unexpected failure in some business process. It would be a nightmare for IT admins to sift through the interminable piles of data to deduce exactly why and where the problem occurred. To save time and their sanity, they need a solution that instantly analyzes data and detects the problem f...
For most organizations, the move to hybrid cloud is now a question of when, not if. Fully 82% of enterprises plan to have a hybrid cloud strategy this year, according to Infoholic Research. The worldwide hybrid cloud computing market is expected to grow about 34% annually over the next five years, reaching $241.13 billion by 2022. Companies are embracing hybrid cloud because of the many advantages it offers compared to relying on a single provider for all of their cloud needs. Hybrid offers balance and flexibility. It helps companies achieve a wide array of business goals, including availabili...
Colocation is a central pillar of modern enterprise infrastructure planning because it provides greater control, insight, and performance than managed platforms. In spite of the inexorable rise of the cloud, most businesses with extensive IT hardware requirements choose to host their infrastructure in colocation data centers. According to a recent IDC survey, more than half of the businesses questioned use colocation services, and the number is even higher among established businesses and businesses with an existing base of IT expertise.
There's a lot to gain from cloud computing, but success requires a thoughtful and enterprise focused approach. Cloud computing decouples data and information from the infrastructure on which it lies. A process that is a LOT more involved than dragging some folders from your desktop to a shared drive. Cloud computing as a mission transformation activity, not a technological one.
As an organization moves from local information hosting to the cloud, one of the most important challenges is addressing cloud computing as a mission transformation activity, not a technological one. Cloud computing is...
