Why Composable Infrastructure Instead of HyperConvergence?
HyperConvergence came to market with the objective of being simple, flexible
and to help drive down operating expenses. It reduced the footprint by
bundling the compute/storage/network into one box. This brought a new set of
challenges as the HyperConverged vendors are very focused on their own
proprietary building blocks. If you want to scale in a certain way, let's say
you identified a need for more storage and want to add a device that is not
sold by the HyperConverged vendor, forget about it. This meant that up to now
the HyperConverged vendors were in charge of the requirements.

A SecDevOps Approach to Cloud Building
As more and more companies are making the shift from on-premises to public
cloud, the standard approach to DevOps is evolving. From encryption,
compliance and regulations like GDPR, security in the cloud has become a hot
topic. Many DevOps-focused companies have hired dedicated staff to fulfill
these requirements, often creating further siloes, complexity and cost. This
session aims to highlight existing DevOps cultural approaches, tooling and
how security can be wrapped in every facet of the build and release cycle and
how to get sales and customer facing resources wrapped in.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Scott Moore, Global Black Belt TSP at
Microsoft, will share real-life experiences working with customers and
explain how focusing on ‘security first' transformed their business from

I recently had the opportunity to give a 10-minute keynote at DataWorks
Summit 2017. I know what most of you are thinking: Schmarzo can barely
introduce himself in 10 minutes! What sort of keynote could he give in just
10 minutes? And to be honest, I too struggled with what to say.
But after some brainstorming with my marketing experts (Jeff Abbott, Erin
Banks, and Chris Hill), we came up with an idea: Pose five questions that
every organization needs to consider as they prepare themselves for digital
transformation. And while I didn’t have enough time in 10 minutes to
answer those questions in a keynote, I certainly do in a blog!
So here we go!!

@CloudExpo Stories By Pat Romanski  In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Scott Davis, CTO of Embotics, discussed how automation can provide the dynamic management required to cost-effectively deliver microservices and container solutions at scale. He also discussed how flexible automation is the key to effectively bridging and seamlessly coordinating both IT and developer needs for component orchestration across disparate clouds – an increasingly important requirement at today’s multi-cloud enterprise. Aug. 25, 2017 12:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,640 | 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.

Web services have taken the development world by storm, especially in recent years as they've become more and more widely adopted. There are naturally many reasons for this, but first, let's understand what exactly a web service is. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) defines "web of services" as "message-based design frequently found on the Web and in enterprise software". Basically, a web service is a method of sending a message between two devices through a network.
In practical terms, this ...
This is the second blog in a series of three in which I expand on some of the points raised in O’Reilly Media’s DevOps for Media & Entertainment report. The first post covered the two essential aspects of DevOps that are often overlooked: communication and empathy. Today, we dive into a more technical topic – monitoring. Monitoring is essential. It tells you if your service is up, down, fast, slow, and functioning as designed. When something inevitably breaks, a monitoring tool can notify you vi...
Given the popularity of the containers, further investment in the telco/cable industry is needed to transition existing VM-based solutions to containerized cloud native deployments. The networking architecture of the solution isolates the network traffic into different network planes (e.g., management, control, and media). This naturally makes support for multiple interfaces in container orchestration engines an indispensable requirement. 
The year 2017 so far has been the year of digital transformation with cloud , IoT , APIs and Low code application development gaining focus . Companies that build Low Code Platforms and help organisations build business applications are beginning to see these technologies scale up. Low code platforms market is expected to scale up to $20B by the end of the decade, says Forrester. So ,when a lot of business enterprises across the globe have been talking about this low code revolution we delve d...
A few years ago, if you would have asked me to define DevOps, my answer would have sounded something like “Mumble mumble automation, mumble, automation, mumble mumble, infrastructure-as-code, mumble mumble, strategy.” Thinking that DevOps equated to automation had mostly to do with the fact that most of the DevOps people I talked to and articles I read really only spoke about automation with only indirect references to anything else.
With Cloud Foundry you can easily deploy and use apps utilizing websocket technology, but not everybody realizes that scaling them out is not that trivial. In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Roman Swoszowski, CTO and VP, Cloud Foundry Services, at Grape Up, will show you an example of how to deal with this issue. He will demonstrate a cloud-native Spring Boot app running in Cloud Foundry and communicating with clients over websocket protocol that can be easily scaled horizontally and coordinate...
Did you know that you can develop for mainframes in Java? Or that the testing and deployment can be automated across mobile to mainframe?
In his session and demo at @DevOpsSummit at 21st Cloud Expo, Dana Boudreau, a Senior Director at CA Technologies, will discuss how increasingly teams are developing with agile methodologies, using modern development environments, and automating testing and deployments, mobile to mainframe.
Vulnerability management is vital for large companies that need to secure containers across thousands of hosts, but many struggle to understand how exposed they are when they discover a new high security vulnerability. In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, John Morello, CTO of Twistlock, will address this pressing concern by introducing the concept of the “Vulnerability Risk Tree API,” which brings all the data together in a simple REST endpoint, allowing companies to easily grasp the severity of t...
Docker is on a roll. In the last few years, this container management service has become immensely popular in development, especially given the great fit with agile-based projects and continuous delivery. In this article, I want to take a brief look at how you can use Docker to accelerate and streamline the software development lifecycle (SDLC) process.
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...
If you cannot explicitly articulate how investing in a new technology, changing the approach or re-engineering the business process will help you achieve your customer-centric vision of the future in direct and measurable ways, you probably shouldn’t be doing it. At Intellyx, we spend a lot of time talking to technology vendors. In our conversations, we explore emerging new technologies that are either disrupting the way enterprise organizations work or that help enable those organizations to co...
In the digital age, speed is everything and no-one wants to be left behind. Being slow to react is the first and, most likely, final nail in the coffin for a 21st century company. The rigidity of the traditional ‘waterfall’ development approach was overhauled by the ‘agile’ philosophy. And with agility things have changed; its brought into reality the idea of continuous delivery. 
SYS-CON Events announced today that DXWorldExpo has been named “Global Sponsor” of SYS-CON's 21st International Cloud Expo, which will take place on Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. Digital Transformation is the key issue driving the global enterprise IT business. Digital Transformation is most prominent among Global 2000 enterprises and government institutions.
User experience is the key to adoption. If no one understands how to use your product, they won't buy it. This is equally true in the world of APIs. Developers are more likely to adopt and stick with a platform or service that they enjoy using. The key to the success of your API, then, is the Developer Experience.
Much like for products that target traditional consumers, the usability of your API is key. Thus, the Developer Experience is the aggregate of all experiences a developer has while in...
Is your organization’s IT system operationally mature, and is it application-centric? In today’s digital landscape, achieving both of these are crucial for the success of any serious IT operation — both at the enterprise level and in the context of smaller organizations.
What is operational maturity? It is a general measure of the overall consistency, reliability, resilience, coherence, and sophistication of an IT system at the levels of management, design, and operation.
