"The volume of data we're generating now from machines pales in comparison to
the volume of data we'll soon generate from our own bodies," says data
security expert Dave Asprey.
Writing in a Trend Micro blog, Asprey - a popular Cloud Expo speaker, past
and future, and a "biohacker" who is one of the leaders in the emerging
Quantified Self movement - explains his vision of a world in which personal
biometrical data is shared via the cloud:
"I want to see my brain waves, my temperature, my pulse, my heart rate
variability, my galvanic skin resistance, the number of steps I take, what I
eat, what I breathe, who I talked to, my hormone levels, how happy I was, my
brain’s efficiency at any time, and anything else I can think of stored in
a very large, very secure, very friendly cloud analytics application. And
then I want to share that data anonymously with any researcher... (more)
When ZapThink last wrote about Business Process Management (BPM) in the Cloud
in March 2012, we challenged both vendors and BPM customers to rethink their
approach to BPM software, eschewing a heavyweight middleware approach for the
lightweight, hypermedia-oriented approach that Representational State
Transfer (REST) encourages. And while we did generate some short-lived buzz,
most of the response - or lack thereof - was little more than a resounding
silence.
True, work on Cloud-friendly, REST-based BPM continues in certain dusty
corners of academia, most notably in the research of Cesare Pautasso, a
professor at the University of Lugano in Switzerland. But in spite of his
notable contributions to Thomas Erl's SOA with REST book, the enterprise
software and Cloud marketplaces have largely either ignored or misunderstood
his research as well as ZapThink's on this to... (more)

In the run-up to the next Cloud Expo, 7th Cloud Expo (November 1–4, 2010)
being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, it's time
to give my earlier list a complete overhaul.
Here, accordingly, is an expanded list of the most active players in the
Cloud Ecosystem.
I have increased it from the 'mere' 150 I identified back in January of this
year, to 250, testimony – as if any were needed! – to the fierce and
continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of
enterprise computing.
Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various
services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web
sites of the companies themselves. Omissions to this Top 250 list should be
sent to me via Twitter (twitter.com/jg21) and I will endeavor to include them
in any future revision of this newly expanded rou... (more)

Ever since I first published here my tentative list of Top 50 Bloggers on
Cloud Computing it became clear that an expansion would be needed before too
long. Thanks to community feedback via my Twitter account
(http://twitter.com/jg21) here goes - just three months before Cloud
Expo Silicon Valley (November 7-10) - with an expanded roster, listed as
before in alphabetical order since I am making no attempt at this stage to
rank the various blogs, merely to map - and celebrate - their existence.

The security community has a growing number of influential and important
people, especially as the industry rises to meet the need to address more
advanced security threats, such as targeted attacks. But how does a company
in the security industry truly identify the influential people? And then once
identified, how does one use influential voices to help promote their brand?
In this study, we answer the first question - how to identify the most
powerful voices in your industry, focusing on the security space, and as part
of this we provide you a list of people to follow for the best, most up to
date information, and who have the loudest voices to help help carry some of
your key messages. In a future study, we will discuss how to further exploit
that knowledge to market your brand.
As executives in a fast-changing and social world, many of us struggle with
the abil... (more)

CloudEXPO Stories By Pat Romanski  A valuable conference experience generates new contacts, sales leads, potential strategic partners and potential investors; helps gather competitive intelligence and even provides inspiration for new products and services. Conference Guru works with conference organizers to pass great deals to great conferences, helping you discover new conferences and increase your return on investment. Jul. 1, 2018 04:00 AM EDT Reads: 4,643 | By Pat Romanski  The hierarchical architecture that distributes "compute" within the network specially at the edge can enable new services by harnessing emerging technologies. But Edge-Compute comes at increased cost that needs to be managed and potentially augmented by creative architecture solutions as there will always a catching-up with the capacity demands. Processing power in smartphones has enhanced YoY and there is increasingly spare compute capacity that can be potentially pooled. Uber has successfully been able to harness the excess capacity of privately owned vehicles and turned into a meaningful business. This concept can be step-functioned to harnessing the spare compute capacity of smartphones that can be orchestrated by MEC to provide cloud service at the edge. Jul. 1, 2018 04:00 AM EDT | By Elizabeth White  They say multi-cloud is coming, but organizations are leveraging multiple clouds already. According to a study by 451 Research, only 21% of organizations were using a single cloud. If you've found yourself unprepared for the barrage of cloud services introduced in your organization, you will need to change your approach to engaging with the business and engaging with vendors. Look at technologies that are on the way and work with the internal players involved to have a plan in place when the inevitable happens and the business begins to look at how these things can help affect your bottom line. Jul. 1, 2018 03:45 AM EDT | By Elizabeth White  Adding public cloud resources to an existing application can be a daunting process. The tools that you currently use to manage the software and hardware outside the cloud aren’t always the best tools to efficiently grow into the cloud. All of the major configuration management tools have cloud orchestration plugins that can be leveraged, but there are also cloud-native tools that can dramatically improve the efficiency of managing your application lifecycle.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Alex Lovell-Troy, Director of Solutions Engineering at Pythian, presented a roadmap that can be leveraged by any organization to plan, analyze, evaluate, and execute on moving from configuration management tools to cloud orchestration tools. He also addressed the three major cloud vendors as well as some tools that will work with any cloud. Jul. 1, 2018 12:45 AM EDT Reads: 9,977 | By Liz McMillan  With more than 30 Kubernetes solutions in the marketplace, it's tempting to think Kubernetes and the vendor ecosystem has solved the problem of operationalizing containers at scale or of automatically managing the elasticity of the underlying infrastructure that these solutions need to be truly scalable. Far from it. There are at least six major pain points that companies experience when they try to deploy and run Kubernetes in their complex environments. In this presentation, the speaker will detail these pain points and explain how cloud can address them. Jun. 30, 2018 09:45 PM EDT |
