The Jevons Paradox: How Democratization of IT Increases Demand for Cloud
The Jevons Paradox suggests that when technological advances increase
efficiency of a resource, it results in an overall increase in consumption.
Writing on the increased use of coal as a result of technological
improvements, 19th-century economist William Stanley Jevons found that these
improvements led to the development of new ways to utilize coal.

In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Mark Thiele, Chief Strategy Officer for
Apcera, compared the Jevons Paradox to modern-day enterprise IT, examining
how the Internet and the cloud has allowed for the democratization of IT,
resulting in an increased demand for the cloud and the drive to develop new
ways to utilize it.

Accelerating Transformation Projects with Dynamic, Software-Defined Storage
Organizations planning enterprise data center consolidation and modernization
projects are faced with a challenging, costly reality. Requirements to deploy
modern, cloud-native applications simultaneously with traditional
client/server applications are almost impossible to achieve with
hardware-centric enterprise infrastructure. Compute and network
infrastructure are fast moving down a software-defined path, but storage has
been a laggard. Until now.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Mark Lewis, Chairman and CEO of Formation
Data Systems, will detail how to deploy dynamic, software-defined storage
infrastructure to transform storage from monolithic silos to an elastic pool
of petabyte-scale storage resources that deliver the agility and economics of
public cloud with the security and contr... (more)

With IBM, Google, and Microsoft pouring funding into the research of quantum
computing, it's really starting to look like we are going to see the benefits
in the next 5 - 10 years. Google may be just weeks from announcing they
reached the quantum supremacy milestone and IBM may not be far behind
either. Today, I wanted to share my thoughts on how quantum computing may
affect cryptography as we know it.
Effects on cryptography
When we talk about the basic cryptography used for things like TLS when you
access your bank's website, the premise behind securing your data is
surprisingly simple. The certificate uses a public key which is really just a
large number that's the result of multiplying two prime numbers together.
This key has a size typically between 256 bits and 2048 bits. It's quite a
large number. To find the two factors via brute force, in today's classica... (more)
@DevOpsSummit at Cloud Expo, taking place November 12-13 in New York City,
NY, is co-located with 22nd international CloudEXPO | first international
DXWorldEXPO and will feature technical sessions from a rock star conference
faculty and the leading industry players in the world.
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in
enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and
collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for
long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch.
DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
@DevOpsSummit at Cloud Expo will expand the DevOps community, enable a wide
sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike.
Recent research has shown that DevOps dramatically reduces development time,

Personalization in the Age of IoT
More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of
wearables - activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and
more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no
idea what "IoT" means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be
the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users
should be.

We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it
swung toward "smart for smart's sake," and many brands remain in that corner.
But many brands are also gradually opting for more strategic approaches.
They're taking a breath and stepping back to examine both existing and
potential IoT experiences, asking themselves whether their product... (more)

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.

In his session at @ThingsExpo, Dr. Robert Cohen, an economist and senior fellow at the Economic Strategy Institute, presented the findings of a series of six detailed case studies of how large corporations are implementing IoT. The session explored how IoT has improved their economic performance, had major impacts on business models and resulted in impressive ROIs.

IoT solutions exploit operational data generated by Internet-connected smart “things” for the purpose of gaining operational insight and producing “better outcomes” (for example, create new business models, eliminate unscheduled maintenance, etc.). The explosive proliferation of IoT solutions will result in an exponential growth in the volume of IoT data, precipitating significant Information Governance issues: who owns the IoT data, what are the rights/duties of IoT solutions adopters towards this data, how to deal with Data Residency and Data Privacy issues, how to manage the lifecycle of Io...
"We do one of the best file systems in the world. We learned how to deal with Big Data many years ago and we implemented this knowledge into our software," explained Jakub Ratajczak, Business Development Manager at MooseFS, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8 in New York City, NY.
"Akvelon is a software development company and we also provide consultancy services to folks who are looking to scale or accelerate their engineering roadmaps," explained Jeremiah Mothersell, Marketing Manager at Akvelon, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
"We are still a relatively small software house and we are focusing on certain industries like FinTech, med tech, energy and utilities. We help our customers with their digital transformation," noted Piotr Stawinski, Founder and CEO of EARP Integration, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8 in New York City, NY.
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.
