Cloud computing has reduced deployment times and the ability to try out new
ideas without significant investments in hardware and software. Cloud
supports business agility and Cloud projects may have a quicker turnaround
time for releases. Many programs have declared victory as being Agile since
they are using the rapid deployment capabilities of Cloud and Big Data. The
myth is "I use Cloud" hence I'm Agile". However this is only the business
agility aspect in terms of using the "pay as you go" model of Cloud to have
quicker provisioning and deployments. Agile management and development is a
focus on Agile techniques throughout the development lifecycle. On some
projects, in an attempt to get products out using Cloud, Big Data Business
Intelligence tools quickly, the magnificent capabilities of Agile management
and development have been forgotten. Agile processes do... (more)

"Enterprises everywhere are realizing the inherent benefits of running their
core IT services in the cloud,” said Todd McKinnon, most recently VP of
Engineering at Salesforce.com from 2003 to 2009, and now CEO of the on-demand
identity and access management service, Okta.
"This shift fundamentally requires them to rethink their IT infrastructure
and how their employees access it," McKinnon added. "Okta," he continued, "is
the only enterprise class, on-demand service purpose built to help customer
secure and manage their entire cloud services network and the people who need
access to it, with no professional services required."
McKinnon was commenting on the day that he and his team launched a new
on-demand service to accelerate the secure adoption of Cloud Apps.
Pandora, LiveOps, Enterasys, FusionStorm, and AMAG Pharmaceuticals are the

Paul Maritz, the CEO of EMC subsidiary VMware for the last four years, is
stepping down and will be replaced by president and COO of EMC Information
Infrastructure Products Pat Gelsinger (pictured below), the 30-year Intel
veteran who might have wound up as CEO there if he had stayed and Paul
Otellini retired.
Gelsinger will start running VMware September 1 for the experience ahead of
EMC deciding who’s going to replace CEO Joe Tucci.
The news was confirmed late Tuesday after rumors that Maritz had been ousted
depressed VMware stock price by 5%.
As it turns out Maritz is gonna be some kind of Big Data and cloud-oriented
applications strategist at EMC, reporting to Tucci and keeping his seat on
the VMware board.
EMC CFO Dave Goulden, another candidate to replace Tucci in what is evidently
a three-horse race, was named president and chief operating officer of EMC,

The speed of software changes in growing and large scale rapid-paced DevOps

DevOps continuous test solutions at Spirent Communications, explained the
best practices of continuous testing at high scale, which is relevant to
small scale DevOps, and if there is an expectation of growth as the number of
build targets, test topologies and delivery topologies that need to be
