Many organizations are associating data monetization with selling their data.
But selling data is not a trivial task, especially for organizations whose
primary business relies on its data. Organizations new to selling data need
to be concerned with privacy and Personally Identifiable Information (PII),
data quality and accuracy, data transmission reliability, pricing, packaging,
marketing, sales, support, etc. Companies such as Nielsen, Experian and
Acxiom are experts at selling data because that’s their business; they have
built a business around gathering, aggregating, cleansing, aligning,
packaging, selling and supporting data.
So instead of focusing on trying to sell your data, you should focus on
monetizing the customer, product and operational insights that are gleaned
from the data; insights that can be used to optimize key business and
operational processe... (more)

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long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch.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.
DevOps 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, the

How to Manage the Explosion of IoT Data
The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved quite rapidly, especially if you
consider how long it took for little packet-switching networks like ARPANET
to morph into today's nearly ubiquitous internet. Our nascent IoT ecosystem
is already populated by billions of sensors and connected devices, hundreds
of millions of servers, and thousands of hybrid clouds serving billions of
people... all of them perpetually producing and/or consuming data in an
explosion of information.
This evolution has given rise to entirely new user interfaces influenced by
models geared to augment reality and create frictionless human experiences
with devices and applications. We now have an expectation of interactive
immediacy with technology that is rapidly becoming second nature and
represents a big, generational paradigm shift. What we think of as a ... (more)

How Infrastructure as Code Automates IT Operations in the Application
Delivery Lifecycle
As more technologies become software-defined, their adoption demands a
significant shift in thinking about how a business organizes its value
stream. This shift may be difficult, but it enables you to anticipate changes
and position your business to react when software-defined technologies
emerge.
Recently a new set of tools and practices has emerged to create and manage
environments. Known as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), it enables
infrastructure management through a software-defined layer.
Application Delivery: Getting It Right
All applications run inside what we call an "environment" - a stack of
hardware and software components built to support the application. This stack
includes: networking, storage, virtual machines, operating systems,
databases, libraries, dependencies... (more)

The cloud ushered in a fundamental change in the way applications are deployed. Instead of worrying about how much dedicated hardware to order for your data center, you simply spin up as many servers as you need to do the job, then decommission them once the job is done. Yet, you still have to plan how many servers you will need at each stage of processing; you still have to remember to decommission them when done; and you pay for the entire virtual machine during the time you use it even though the server may be idle for most of that time.

In the decade following his article, cloud computing further cemented Carr’s perspective. Compute, storage, and network resources have become simple utilities, available at the proverbial turn of the faucet. The value they provide is immense, but the cloud playing field is amazingly level. Carr’s quote above presaged the cloud to a T.

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...
Companies have always been concerned that traditional enterprise software is slow and complex to install, often disrupting critical and time-sensitive operations during roll-out. With the growing need to integrate new digital technologies into the enterprise to transform business processes, this concern has become even more pressing.

A span of almost two years can be a long time when disr...

When growing capacity and power in the data center, the architectural trade-offs between server scale-up vs. scale-out continue to be debated. Both approaches are valid: scale-out adds multiple, smaller servers running in a distributed computing model, while scale-up adds fewer, more powerful servers that are capable of running larger workloads. It’s worth noting that there are additional, unique advantages that scale-up architectures offer. One big advantage is large memory and compute capacity that makes In-Memory Computing possible. This means that large databases can now reside entirely in...

For a phrase that’s being thrown around a lot recently, what does “Digital Transformation” really mean? When someone says that they want to digitally transform their business, what does one really mean, why do they want to do it, and should they approach this “digital transformation” process? First off, let’s start with a definition. If we don’t know what we are trying to achieve, then how do we know how to get there? Or to quote the famous Greek philosopher Yogi Berra: “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.”
