The Role of DevOps in Digital Transformation
New competitors, disruptive technologies, and growing expectations are
pushing every business to both adopt and deliver new digital services. This
‘Digital Transformation' demands rapid delivery and continuous iteration of
new competitive services via multiple channels, which in turn demands new
service delivery techniques - including DevOps.

This is a short blog with a harsh message for Big Data vendors.
Camera fades in to Pastor Schmarzo heading to the pulpit…
What does the future hold for today’s Big Data vendors? Hundreds of
startups are rushing into the Big Data market to stake their claim to a
market that IDC predicts will reach $187 billion by 2019. Dang, that’s a
big market, especially considering that the Global Business Intelligence
market will only reach a trifling $20.8 billion by 2018 or the long-running
ERP applications market is expected to reach a trivial $84.1 billion by
2020. Yes, the big data market opportunity is very exciting indeed!
However, there is one little, teeny-weeny challenge for big data vendors
trying to realize this financial bounty. The Gartner chart below summarizes
this challenge very nicely (see Figure 1).

The catchphrase "Internet of Things" may seem like a relatively new term, but
in reality has been around since the late ‘90s, when there was a desire to
more efficiently track the flow of goods for supply chain purposes. The
enabling technology was RFID which made it possible to report on stock levels
and inventory in real-time.
These days, the term "Internet of Things" has a much broader meaning than
just supply chain technology. In the many years that have passed, big data
and mobile technology have grown by leaps and bounds. This means that it is
possible to crunch large amounts of sensor data and deliver context-relevant
information to users on their smartphones. As a consequence, just about any
physical object out there can be measured as long as there are sensors that
can transmit this information. This has huge implications for global economic
growth, and co... (more)
"People are a lot more knowledgeable about APIs now. There are two types of
people who work with APIs - IT people who want to use APIs for something
internal and the product managers who want to do something outside APIs for
people to connect to them," explained Roberto Medrano, Executive Vice
President at SOA Software, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 15th Cloud Expo,
held Nov 4-6, 2014, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
Internet of Things, Data and APIs
When something as simple as an API can integrate massive amounts of data
into, and through, a wide variety of applications, any company can be a
digital enterprise. There is a perception that some industries are using
technology to innovate, while others languish in antiquated ways of running
their business. But in our massively connected age, it's rare to find
examples where technology isn't... (more)

Kin Lane recently wrote a couple of blogs about why copyrighting an API is
not common. I couldn’t agree more that copyrighting APIs is uncommon. First
of all, the API definition is just an interface (It is the implementation
detail that is important, and needs to be guarded), so it doesn’t make any
sense to copyright an interface. (It is almost like copyrighting a pretty
face ). Secondly, the whole idea of exposing an API is you are looking for
others to finish the work you started by just providing the plumbing work.
Why would anyone want to get involved with a copyrighted API and finish your
work for you?
Kin Lane says, “API copyright would prevent the reuse and remix of common
or successful API patterns within a space. We are at a point where
aggregating common, popular APIs into single, standardized interfaces is
emerging as the next evolution in web and mobil... (more)
A completely new computing platform is on the horizon. They're called
Microservers by some, ARM Servers by others, and sometimes even ARM-based
Servers. No matter what you call them, Microservers will have a huge impact
on the data center and on server computing in general.
What Is a Microserver...and What Isn't
Although few people are familiar with Microservers today, their impact will
be felt very soon. This is a new category of computing platform that is
available today and is predicted to have triple-digit growth rates for some
years to come - growing to over 20% of the server market by 2016 according to
Oppenheimer ("Cloudy With A Chance of ARM" Oppenheimer Equity Research
Industry Report).
According to Chris Piedmonte, CEO of Suvola Corporation - a software and
services company focused on creating preconfigured and scalable Microserver
appliances for deployin... (more)

The goal of any DevOps solution is to optimize multiple processes in an
organization. And success does not necessarily require that in executing the
strategy everything needs to be automated to produce an effective plan. Yet,
it is important that processes are put in place to handle a necessary list of
items.

"NetApp's vision is how we help organizations manage data - delivering the right data in the right place, in the right time, to the people who need it, and doing it agnostic to what the platform is," explained Josh Atwell, Developer Advocate for NetApp, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY.
Kubernetes as a Container Platform is becoming a de facto for every enterprise. In my interactions with enterprises adopting container platform, I come across common questions: - How does application security work on this platform? What all do I need to secure? - How do I implement security in pipelines? - What about vulnerabilities discovered at a later point in time? - What are newer technologie...
