Optimize TCP to Speed Through the Digital Freeway
By Dhanush Suhas
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a common and reliable transmission
protocol on the Internet. TCP was introduced in the 70s by Stanford
University for US Defense to establish connectivity between distributed
systems to maintain a backup of defense information. At the time, TCP was
introduced to communicate amongst a selected set of devices for a smaller
dataset over shorter distances.
As the Internet evolved, however, the number of applications and users, and
the types of data accessed and stored also evolved. The original intent of
TCP was to communicate data in the form of text across computers; today’s
data transfer is more complex including high pixel images, audio files, and
video delivery.
The aim of the modern web is to provide consumers with an excellent user
experience by loading web ... (more)

Information Booth 2.0: Curating Digital Experiences for the Connected
Consumer
Each weekend in the winter, I drive 200 miles north to Warren, VT to feed my
family's appetite for skiing, and the funky hippie vibe of the Mad River
Valley. Yes, you westerners, I know that I should have moved west years ago.
But I consider this area to be my second home - but I hate driving around
there with "Mass" plates!
And as I drive on VT Rt. 100, I pass this old abandoned travel information
booth several times a weekend (yes it's still there). I pass by it in my
connected car, with "infotainment" and my smartphone, with access to WWW via
cellular towers.
And I think back to days past when this booth was staffed, and packed with
brochures and maps to help people make better decisions as they drove...

What, Why, and How of IaaS and PaaS
The essence of cloud computing is that all consumable IT resources are
delivered as services.
In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Yung Chou, Technology Evangelist at
Microsoft, demonstrated the concepts and implementations of two important
cloud computing deliveries: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform
as a Service (PaaS). He discussed from business and technical viewpoints what
exactly they are, why we care, how they are different and in what ways, and
the strategies for IT to transition into and take advantages of these
emerging service models.

This blog was written with the thoughtful assistance of David Leibowitz, Dell
EMC Director of Business Intelligence, Analytics & Big Data
So data warehousing may not be cool anymore, you say? It’s yesterday’s
technology (or 1990’s technology if you’re as old as me) that served
yesterday’s business needs. And while it’s true that recent big data and
data science technologies, architectures and methodologies seems to have
rendered data warehousing to the back burner, it is entirely false that there
is not a critical role for the data warehouse and Business Intelligence in
digitally transformed organizations.
Maybe the best way to understand today’s role of the data warehouse is with
a bit of history. And please excuse us if we take a bit of liberty with
history (since we were there for most of this!).

The proper isolation of resources is essential for multi-tenant environments. The traditional approach to isolate resources is, however, rather heavyweight. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Igor Drobiazko, co-founder of elastic.io, drew upon his own experience with operating a Docker container-based infrastructure on a large scale and present a lightweight solution for resource isolation using microservices. He also discussed the implementation of microservices in data and application integrat...
"We are an IT services solution provider and we sell software to support those solutions. Our focus and key areas are around security, enterprise monitoring, and continuous delivery optimization," noted John Balsavage, President of A&I; Solutions, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY.
DevOps is being widely accepted (if not fully adopted) as essential in enterprise IT. But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes more acute. DevOps teams in any modern business must wrangle the ‘digital exhaust’ from the delivery toolchain, "pervasive" and "cognitive" computing, APIs and services, mobile devices and applications, the Internet of Things, and now even blockchain.
When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it’s important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. “Fly two mistakes high” is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lee A...
Consumer-driven contracts are an essential part of a mature microservice testing portfolio enabling independent service deployments.
