Setting standards for IoT can capitalize on future growth

Image
by Melvin Greer Managing Director Greer Institute for Leadership and Innovation The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) appears to be unquestioned. Advances in wearables and sensors are strategic to tech companies, telecoms and manufacturers across multiple domains. Everyone from millennials to boomers is incorporating IoT technologies into the daily flow of life. Gartner says the IoT market will be $300 million in 2020. With all this projected growth, standards will play an increasing role in IoT adoption. A number of IoT standards initiatives are setting the pace. The AllSeen Alliance has developed AllJoyn, an open-source protocol that provides tools for connecting and managing devices on Wi-Fi networks. Manufacturers are starting to use the AllJoyn framework to create custom apps, complete with control and notification services. Dell and Intel announced their Open InterConnect Consortium (OIC) as another collaborative targeting open-source development and deployment. ...

Information Service and Cloud Dedicated Hosting

Image
Dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of internet hosting the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. It is more flexible than shared hosting, and organizations have full control over the server (s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. There is also another level of dedicated or managed hosting managed hosting is called complex. Apply complex managed hosting on physical servers, hybrid server and virtual servers with many companies choose hybrid (a combination of physical and virtual) hosting solution. There are many similarities between the standard and complex managed hosting, but the main difference is the level of administrative support and engineering the customer pays for all because of the growing size and complexity of infrastructure deployment . Steps presented to support most of the administration, including security, memory, storage, and support of information technology. Proactive ser...

Parallels et Similitudes Stockage dans un Cloud (nuage)

C loud storage similarities ( Pstorage ) is highly available distributed storage (virtual SAN) with built-in replication and disaster recovery. Pstorage virtualization platform allows the storage on top devices in material with hard drives locally and was able to unite in the storage cluster in scenarios such as virtualization using virtual machines ( vessels) and / or monitoring container system (CTS). Pstorage provides rapid live migration of VMS monitoring devices and CTS through the nodes without having to copy the VM / CT data, the high-availability storage as it becomes available remotely. Advantages Are listed in the main Pstorage features below: There are no special hardware requirements. Basic equipment (SATA / SAS, 1GB Ethernet drives +) can be used to create storage. Indications of strong consistency. This makes it suitable for Pstorage via the iSCSI protocol, VM and TC operates on top of that (unlike the storage objects such as ...

Women in tech: Meet the trailblazers of STEM equality

Image
By Sandra K. Johnson CEO, SKJ Visioneering, LLC   Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals are drivers of innovation,creativity and invention. STEM disciplines are significant drivers of economies worldwide, and STEM careers are rewarding and fulfilling. The promise of STEM is therefore important for economies and individuals; however, in most countries around the world, we do not have STEM professionals that reflect the gender makeup of our population. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, I share more information on the issue and potential solutions. I also profile women technology trailblazers who have made significant contributions to STEM and our global society. There are over 316 million people in the U.S.; 49.2 percent male and 50.8 percent female, according to the U.S. Census . While women currently hold more than 51.6 percent of all professional occupations in the U.S., only 26.7 percent are in computing-related occupations . Compan...

Virtual Private Servers in the world revolution Virtualization

Image
V irtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtual machine is sold as a service by Internet hosting service. VPS runs its own copy of the operating system, customers have access to the root level for that instance of the operating system, so they can install almost any software that runs on this operating system. For many applications are functionally equivalent to a dedicated physical server, and being defined by the software can be created more easily and configured. They are priced much lower than the equivalent physical server, but since they share the basic hardware with another VPS, performance may be lower and can depend on the volume of work in other cases on the same hardware node. By default (Virtualization) Virtual server is a driving force similar to those that led to the development of time-sharing multi-programming in the past. Although resources are still common, as in the time-sharing model, virtualization offers the highest level of security, as the default type u...

Cloud Acquisition Strategy, Customized to the Right Cloud Model

Image
by Melvin Greer Managing Director , Greer Institute   This year has brought big news, significant changes and increased awareness of the adoption of cloud computing in Government. In fact Cloud computing may be the biggest and most overhyped term in Government information technology today.    It is also the most discussed topic in agency strategy, cyber security forums and mission / program reviews.   While lots of conversation has been devoted to technology and the benefits that government customers can derive from Cloud, in the end the biggest challenge may be the acquisition of cloud services. Cloud computing presents a different set of acquisition challenges to the federal government and this shift requires a rethinking the agency acquisition process. S mart purchasing decisions require an understanding of security requirements, service models and service level agreements. Clearly adherence to the Federal Risk Authorization and Risk Management   (FedRAMP) cloud security require...
