Sponsor" of SYS-CON's 21st International Cloud Expo, which will take place

The Key to IT Business
Digital Transformation is the key issue driving the global enterprise IT
business. Digital Transformation is most prominent among Global 2000
enterprises and government institutions.
Global 2000
Global 2000 companies have more than US$40 trillion in annual revenue - more
than 50% of the world's entire GDP. The Global 2000 spends a total of US$2.4
trillion annually on enterprise IT. The average Global 2000 company has US$11
billion in annual revenue. The average Global 2000 company spends more than
$600 million annually on enterprise IT.
Governments throughout the world spend another US$500 billion on IT - much of

In 2016, artificial intelligence (AI) reached its climax. Research and
advisory firm Tractica predicted that the annual worldwide AI revenue will
grow from $643.7 million in 2016 to $38.8 billion by 2025. The revenue for
enterprise AI applications will increase from $358 million in 2016 to $31.2
billion by 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 64.3%.
Thus, IT and business decision makers must face up to the potentials of AI
already today. For each kind of organization this leads to the question,
which type of technologies or infrastructure they can leverage to operate an
AI-ready enterprise stack.
What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
In 1955, Prof. John McCarthy defined AI as "The goal of AI is to develop
machines that behave as though they were intelligent." Discussing
"intelligent" in this context, we are talking about a vigorous system. A

Solving the XML Problem with Jackson
By Eugen Paraschiv
Jackson is a popular library for handling JSON in Java applications, quickly
becoming the de-facto standard in the ecosystem. Starting with version 2, it
has also introduced a mature XML implementation alongside its established
JSON support.
Adding Jackson XML to the Project
Adding the Jackson XML module to the project only needs a single dependency -
the Jackson XML module itself:
com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat
jackson-dataformat-xml
2.9.0
And in Gradle:
compile "com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-xml:2.9.0"
This will automatically pull in all of the other Jackson dependencies that
are needed:
Jackson Core Jackson Annotations Jackson Databind Jackson Module JAXB

"We are an all-flash array storage provider but our focus has been on
VM-aware storage specifically for virtualized applications," stated Dhiraj
Sehgal of Tintri in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 19th Cloud Expo, held
November 1-3, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
DevOps - Operations Pain in Data Management
Updating DevOps to the latest production data slows down your development
cycle. Probably it is due to slow, inefficient conventional storage and
associated copy data management practices.
In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, Dhiraj Sehgal, in Product
and Solution at Tintri, will talk about DevOps and cloud-focused storage to
update hundreds of child VMs (different flavors) with updates from a master
VM in minutes, saving hours or even days in each development cycle. He will
also discuss how the "Ops" side of DevOps is ... (more)
A Cloud and Internet of Things Way of Thinking: From Egosystems to Ecosystems
The buzz continues for cloud, data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT)
and their collective impact across all industries. But a new conversation is
emerging - how do companies use industry disruption and technology enablers
to lead in markets undergoing change, uncertainty and ambiguity?
Organizations of all sizes need to evolve and transform, often under massive
pressure, as industry lines blur and merge and traditional business models
are assaulted and turned upside down. In this new data-driven world,
marketplaces reign supreme while interoperability, APIs and applications
deliver unique customer value for new go-to-market models based on a cloud
and IoT way of working. Analytics, IoT service mashups, fail fast business
models and contextual data streams enable data to become the... (more)

Imagine a fresh business relationship between ACME Corporation and Partner.
As a result of this relationship, ACME wants to grant Partner limited access
to one of its core internal applications. They do this, naturally, by
exposing a Web service.
Why Identity Federation?
Boris (an employee at Partner) sends a SOAP request to the ACME Web service
along with some password or proof-of-possession type credentials. Because
Boris's identity is managed outside of ACME, those credentials cannot be
authenticated using ACME's authentication infrastructure.
To circumvent this issue, one could imagine a setup where the ACME Web
service authenticates Boris's credentials by connecting to Partner's
authentication services. Another alternative might involve some sort of
directory replication. These strategies were attempted in the '90s when
distributed LDAP references appeared in t... (more)
I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having
said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because
they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would
share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application
pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered.
From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!

iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to
