Multitenant, Dedicated or Hybrid - Which cloud to choose?RapidScale
With the increased consideration of the cloud, many organizations are deciding how to best integrate it into their business.
There are three main forms of cloud computing: public, private and hybrid. When considering the move, you shouldn’t just pick one of these at random. The choice should be strategic, based on the characteristics of your business. Each cloud model is best suited for certain types of organizations and needs, so picking the wrong one could backfire.

Making network virtualization a core competency will be a tremendous addition to your professional skills. Credentials in network virtualization will make you more valuable in your organization and industry.
Your virtual desktop infrastructure deployment provides a new level of security, manageability, and scalability in your organization, compared to using local PCs. But VDI is an investment that pays off over time — that's why it's crucial that you ensure nothing is subverting the value you're trying to create.
Endpoints represent the greatest threat in this respect. The majority of VDI access still happens on full Windows PCs - the same PCs that were so complex and insecure that they necessitated VDI.
In this 30 minute session, device experts from Neverware and Teradici discuss the risks and benefits of different VDI endpoint options.
The General Session, building upon the Opening Keynote vision, provided more details about the reference architecture Citrix has created to help customers automate the design and deployment of mobile workspace solutions. Citrix SVP Sudhakar Ramakrishna and CMO Steve Daheb also discussed enhancements to the HDX protocol and brought down the house with a side-by-side comparison of Citrix and VMware performance under challenging wireless conditions. The keynote showcased several customers that are delivering innovative mobile workspace solutions across a number of industry sectors, from manufacturing (Taco) to banking (Westpac) to outsourcing services (CSC). Another highlight was a major, three-way announcement by Citrix, HP and Intel around virtualization of rich apps.

Telecommunications Working from home Security and remote working caalehosickg3
Telecommunications Working from home Security and remote working can be a headache for digital nomads, and their clients or employers. If you’re a remote worker and have multiple clients, sometimes in different locations around the world, you may need to use different security applications for each of them. You will probably have to comply with multiple policies and regulations and may feel anxious about accessing and inadvertently compromising a client’s network. And, on the other hand, it is understandable if you are wary of giving up some of your own privacy to your employer (wang, qiao & lima, 2018) . It’s not just remote workers themselves who are at risk. Permanent employees who occasionally do work at home can face (and cause) security issues when remotely interfacing with an organization’s network. Let’s say we have a situation where our organization has 20 sales representatives working outside organization remotely. Case: Letter to CEO If we like to have remote team in our organization first we need to convince every one because there are several risks involved first we need to point the risk then has to come up with possible solutions Here in the letter we start with identification of risk. Here are some of the risks faced by the organization. Connection quality. If the user has a poor internet connection or a weak Wi-Fi signal, both of which are common at hotels or public hotspots for example, then the remote desktop connection will also be slow. Accessing applications or files becomes cumbersome. VPNs. VPNs, or virtual private networks, are very sensitive. Many public internet connections will not allow users to work at all, making remote connection almost impossible. Performance. There are many low-cost methods available, such as LogMeIn and GoToMyPC that simply do not have the speed necessary for accomplishing hours of work. The delays inherent in these solutions mean they are only viable options for quick tasks or small amounts of work. In addition, they may not allow for local file and printer access(Diekmann & Naab, 2019). Security. Public hotspots are common at coffee shops, airports, hotels, and even public parks. While they are convenient, they are also highly susceptible to hackers who would be able to access any of the data you’re working on while using the shared Wi-Fi. Application availability. Systems like Citrix and Terminal Server only allow access to certain programs that have been configured by the IT administrator. Often times, users need access to applications they installed themselves, special plugins, configurations, or files from their desktop, or other resources that are not on the remote access server. What’s more, these systems often work differently than the desktops. This change in habitual processes is inconvenient and sure to slow any user down. Open applications. If a user left files or applications open on their business desktop, they are locked there. It is impossible to log in to them a ...

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Awingu is a Service provider
No, Awingu is a software vendor. We do however sell our software to Service Providers so they can
build an offering around it. Also, we are part of cloud marketplaces such as Azure Marketplace
Awingu offers VDI
No, we are built around aggregation of applications and files. We don’t rely on a ‘desktop’, or desktop
experience for that matter. It is possible to put a Remote Desktop behind Awingu should you want to
have this specific usage.
Awingu runs my applications
No, Awingu will connect to application servers, SaaS, Web apps and files. It will not host/Run the
applications or files within the (Awingu) appliance. We want to be as little disruptive as possible to an
existing IT architecture.

17. The Frequently Asked Questions… (2/2)
Back-up
16
I already have MDM so I can’t leverage on Awingu
In certain use cases the Awingu solution eliminates the need of an MDM solution. However, often
Awingu will co-exist with MDM, sometimes for different use-cases (e.g. Smartphones via MDM, but
not tablets).
Awingu eliminates the need of VPN/SSL setup
Yes, Awingu also uses an encrypted connection and supports multi factor authentication which makes
it a secure solution. As such, you will still be using SSL, but in a user-friendly fashion. However, you
won’t have hassle-full VPN setups and login procedures to work remotely.
Awingu is an Identity Provider
Yes, we are IDP and offer SSO for SaaS. Today, this is mainly for Office 365 and Google Apps for
Work. This will significantly extend in the near future.
