Cloud microservices make their play

Image
 by Kevin L. Jackson Cloud computing seems destined to be  the way enterprises will use information technology. The drastic cost reductions and impressive operational improvements make the transition an unstoppable trend. The “What is cloud computing?” question now, however, seems to be morphing into “Where is cloud computing going?” While software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers see their market rocketing upward as the easiest and quickest path for cloud adoption, infrastructure-as-a-service providers are suffering as their high-capital-cost commodity business transitions to a profit margin race to the bottom. This unsettling paradox, driven by increased competition between major infrastructure players, portends a near-term shakeout as smaller players either fail, exit or get gobbled up. Cloud services brokerage, still struggling to be even recognized as a real market, is being seriously threatened by open-source approaches from giants like Booz Allen Hamilton’s Jellyfish...

Platform Google Cloud for Mobile solutions

Image
With over a billion people are using smart phones and tablets in their daily lives, and there is a great opportunity and the growing demand for mobile solutions. Users can choose from hundreds of thousands of applications, and for mobile developers to succeed, it is important to create a compelling, engaging user experiences and connected. This usually requires the need for basic components or services to drive demand relevant data, and to ensure the payment of hazards, and allow interactions between users, and more. With the Google Cloud operating system, you can easily build a backend for solving mobile. You can start small and hope to get a large number of users or may already be a broad base of customers who want to start service with a new mobile experience.

By leveraging Google's infrastructure, you can focus on implementing your application scenarios and not have to worry about things like man...

Tweeps Are People Too!!

Image
I woke up this morning to the devastating news about the earthquake in Nepal. Sitting here in California  that destruction is literally on the other side of the world but my mind immediately went to thinking about my good friend Jeremy Geelan . See Jeremy and his family have been living in Kathmandu for a while now. His wife, in fact, is the Danish Ambassador to Nepal ! Being a social media kind of guy, I immediately went online to see if Jeremy was active, but then the other shoe dropped. I realized that I was selfishly neglecting my global online readership! A quick look at TweepsMap confirmed that I had at least 10 tweeps in Kathmandu and another in Itahari, Sunsari, in the eastern part of the country!! After sending out a few queries on Twitter and Facebook I soon received word that Jeremy and family were OK. I also had exchanges with a few other readers, the first of which was Suyash Chhetri, who is also safe with his family. For me this personal experience proved that Tweeps Ar...

Cloud database technology

Cloud database is a database , which usually runs on the cloud computing platform, such as Amazon EC2 , GoGrid , Salesforce.com, Rackspace , Microsoft Azure. There are two joint deployment models: Users can run databases on the cloud independently , using the image of the virtual machine, or they can buy access to the database service, which is maintained by the cloud database provider. Databases available on the cloud, and some are and some SQL- based model using NoSQL data. There are two main ways to run the database on the cloud:      Virtual image - cloud computing platforms machines allow users to buy virtual machine instances for a limited period. It is possible to operate a database of these virtual machines. Users can either upload their own picture of the machine with a database installed on it, or use the images of ready-made machines, which already includes the optimum installation of a database. For example, Oracle pro...

The Art Of Delegation - My Ten Principles For Healthy Team Culture

Image
"Delegate almost to the point of abdication" - Warren Buffet I have worked with numerous leaders at all levels and have seen the best and worst practices in how they delegate or they don’t. Here are my 10 principles of delegation that I practice and advocate based on the lessons I have learned by being on both ends of the spectrum. 1. Delegating is not simply about asking someone to do something for you; it’s about setting expectations on desired outcome and offering to help. 2. Delegating does not mean being a slacker but shifting focus instead on right things; as a leader, more often than not, doing right things is more important than doing things right. 3. Delegating something that you typically won’t is the best way to empower your employees; all other empowering talk is cheap. 4. Never take credit for what you delegate; in fact never take credit for anything that you accomplish. 5. Delegation leads to transparency; most employees struggle to get a bigger picture and ...

Image
The average length of time in the commercial sector between a network security breach and when the detection of that breach is  more than 240 days , according to Gregory Touhill , deputy assistant secretary of Cybersecurity Operations and Programs for the Department of Homeland Security . What could happen to your company during that eight-month period? Could your company survive? This alarming statistic is just one of the reasons why the National Cybersecurity Institute at Excelsior College (NCI)  undertook the task of surveying the nation’s chief information security officers. With the support of social media campaigns from Dell cybersecurity  and  the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium , also known as ISC(2), NCI was able to collect a statistically significant number of responses across eight industry verticals. Although a formal analysis of the data is still being conducted, some important early revelations have already been identified. While ...

Hybrid cloud computing technology

Image
H ybrid cloud is infrastructure , which includes links between managed by the user Cloud (usually called "special" ) and at least a cloud managed by a third party cloud (usually called "public cloud" ). Although the public and private sectors of the cloud, hybrids are linked together , they remain unique entities of its kind . This allows the hybrid cloud to provide the benefits of the deployment of several at one time Templates. Hybrid clouds vary greatly in sophistication. For example, some hybrid clouds offer only connection between the site and public clouds. All the difficulties inherent in two different infrastructure is the responsibility of operations and application teams .
