The Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) methodology is defined by a series
of software development stages. The individual stages will include,
requirements analysis, design of the software, implementation or development
of the software, testing of the software and continuous evolution of the
software.
Testing is a critical stage of the SDLC and can determine the quality of
software being released into live environments. Therefore, it is important to
ensure that test environments are reliable and closely aligned to production.
Here is a list of possible trouble spots environment managers should pay
attention to:
1. Managing test infrastructure such as hardware servers, application
servers, networking, firewalls, software components required for testing,
build software required for testing releases etc.
2. Managing test environments such as database clusters, UAT, p... (more)
What Type of File System Are You Really Getting?
The cloud's massive success and the growing desire for Big Data analytics are
just two of the factors that are making traditional storage architectures
obsolete. Organizations cannot afford to scale bygone storage appliances.
Even if they could, the time it would take is unacceptable in the digital
world. Adding multiple servers could not accommodate storage demands, either.
Vertical storage architecture contains bottlenecks that slow performance to a
crawl.
Along with cloud and analytics, another technological advancement has emerged
in the data center: software-defined storage (SDS). Because SDS decouples the
programming that controls storage-related tasks from the physical storage
hardware, it dramatically reduces costs associated with hardware. Fewer,
less-expensive servers can be used to improve both capacity an... (more)
Dev How You Want. Run Where You Want: Application Portability with Kubernetes
Containers and Kubernetes allow for code portability across on-premise VMs,
bare metal, or multiple cloud provider environments. Yet, despite this
portability promise, developers may include configuration and application
definitions that constrain or even eliminate application portability. In this
session we'll describe best practices for "configuration as code" in a
Kubernetes environment. We will demonstrate how a properly constructed
containerized app can be deployed to both Amazon and Azure using the Kublr
platform, and how Kubernetes objects, such as persistent volumes, ingress
rules, and services, can be used to abstract from the infrastructure.

Embracing Software Defined: From Theory to Practice
As Marc Andreessen says software is eating the world. Everything is rapidly
moving toward being software-defined - from our phones and cars through our
washing machines to the datacenter. However, there are larger challenges when
implementing software defined on a larger scale - when building software
defined infrastructure.
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool, will
provide some practical insights on what, how and why when implementing
"software-defined" in the datacenter.

Implementing a Well-Behaved Network for Your Cloud
As you move to the cloud, your network should be efficient, secure, and easy
to manage. An enterprise adopting a hybrid or public cloud needs systems and
tools that provide:
Agility: ability to deliver applications and services faster, even in complex
hybrid environments Easier manageability: enable reliable connectivity with
complete oversight as the data center network evolves Greater efficiency:
eliminate wasted effort while reducing errors and optimize asset utilization
Security: implement always-vigilant DNS security

The industrial manufacturing development process has not scaled over time. Now that design CAD teams are geographically distributed, centralizing their work is key.

What if you could closely measure your retail competitor's in-store sales every day? What if you could be alerted when competitors were increasing or decreasing production at different factories or ordering more materials? Would that be valuable? If it were possible, how would it change your strategies and the way you operated?

Poor data quality and analytics drive down business value. In fact, Gartner estimated that the average financial impact of poor data quality on organizations is $9.7 million per year. But bad data is much more than a cost center. By eroding trust in information, analytics and the business decisions based on these, it is a serious impediment to digital transformation.
It takes years – sometimes a lifetime – to perfect certain skills in life: hitting a jump shot off the dribble, nailing that double high C on the trumpet, parallel parking a Ford Expedition. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book, “Outliers,” discussing the amount of work – 10,000 hours – required to perfect a skill (while the exactness of 10,000 hours has come under debate, it is still a useful point that people need to invest considerable time and effort to master a skill). But once we get comfortable with something that we feel that we have mastered, we become reluctant to change. We are reluctant t...
Digital Transformation: Preparing Cloud & IoT Security for the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

As IoT continues to increase momentum, so does the associated risk. Secure Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) is ranked as one of the most important technology areas of IoT. Driving this trend is the realization that secure support for IoT devices provides companies the ability to deliver high-quality, reliable, secure offerings faster, create new revenue streams, and reduce support costs, all while building a competitive advantage in their markets. In this session, we will use customer use cases to demonstrate how DLM is can rescue devices in distress and equip companies with the tools necessa...
The IoT Will Grow: In what might be the most obvious prediction of the decade, the IoT will continue to expand next year, with more and more devices coming online every single day. What isn’t so obvious about this prediction: where that growth will occur. The retail, healthcare, and industrial/supply chain industries will likely see the greatest growth. Forrester Research has predicted the IoT will become “the backbone” of customer value as it continues to grow. It is no surprise that retail is jumping aboard, hoping to harness the power of the IoT to connect with customers, grow their brands,...
