The Open Compute Project (OCP) is working to create the most efficient and lowest cost data center designs of the future through an open source community of hardware engineers. The OCP was started by Facebook to optimize their data center efficiency, requiring 38% less energy and costing 24% less than previous designs. The OCP shares hardware innovations transparently to encourage new designs. Insurers can benefit from lower costs through cloud providers using OCP designs and within their own data centers, where an OCP center uses 52% less energy and 72% less water. The modular OCP approach allows selective refreshing of server components rather than replacing entire servers.

By adopting a hybrid data storage architecture, healthcare organizations can focus on growing their businesses while reducing storage infrastructure costs.
More than any other big data technology, Hadoop has captured the interest and attention of business leaders because it redefines the economics of data management and enables the discovery of relationships and insights in data sets that were previously hidden or out of reach. According to Gartner, 68 percent of Hadoop adoption is initiated within the C-suite. To respond to this interest, organizations will need to understand how Hadoop works, how it can complement existing systems and workloads to modernize the data pipeline, how it can deliver the business value expected, and how you can prepare to implement it and get started more easily. In this session, you will get answers to these pressing questions from a panel of Dell customers who have relied on Dell’s experience and long-standing partnership with Cloudera to successfully design and deploy Hadoop systems that helped transform the business with data.

Industry Brief: HP Rallies the Channel around Converged InfrastructureIT Brand Pulse
Delivering the HP keynote on Thursday morning was Dave Donatelli, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the newly named HP Enterprise group which includes Enterprise Servers, Storage, Networking and Technology Services. While the theme of the event was, “The Art of Business Transformation,” Mr. Donatelli narrowed the focus on transforming the capabilities of HP and its partners to lead in delivery of converged infrastructure.
The speed and productivity benefits of high-performance cloud computing are well documented. For numerically large engineering simulations, a flexible cloud environment typically delivers faster run times, allowing engineers to solve complex problems quickly ― and launch products more rapidly. The world's leading product development teams are already leveraging high-performance computing (HPC) resources, yet many of them remain uncertain about the costs of replacing on-premises hardware and software with cloud hosting.
To clear up the confusion and demonstrate that the cloud delivers a total cost of ownership that is lower than on-premises computing, Ansys has published “A Break in the Clouds: The Cost Benefits of Ansys Cloud.” The white paper illustrates how Ansys Cloud delivers all the speed and efficiency that customers expect from HPC in the cloud ― along with Ansys’ software ― at a cost lower than an on-premises approach.
Given the data center industry’s cagey nature – the secrecy around critical infrastructure, the NDAs, and so on – we can’t make specific predictions without substantial risk of looking like total fools. But from conversations with vendors and analysts we can at a minimum get some idea of the directions data center technologies are moving in.
Implementing load balancing algorithm in middleware system of volunteer cloud...Gargee Hiray
Performing volunteer computing with the help of mobile devices to perform high end tasks.
Volunteer computing is where volunteers donate their device processing capacity to a project
and this process is executed through a middleware.
• BOINC is one of the middleware’s which transmits tasks between cloud user and the device
donor. There is an issue of low performance of the middleware. The reason for this is the
volunteer node demands the BOINC server for assigning a task and this creates delay which
degrades the overall performance of the middleware.
• Through the implementation of load balancer this issue is reduced which has enhance the
performance and provides better service to the customers.
Benefits of Operating an On-Premises InfrastructureRebekah Rodriguez
Despite the rapid evolution and growth of public cloud usage, enterprises are finding value in on-premises IT infrastructure. As a result, some organizations are moving their workloads back, partially or entirely, to their own data centers. In fact, according to a survey conducted by IDC, over ½ of the IT spent on servers and storage is still driven by on-prem deployments, and over 70% of those surveyed said they plan to repatriate workloads back from public cloud to an On-Prem Infrastructure.
How to create a secure high performance storage and compute infrastructureAbhishek Sood
Creating a secure, high-performance enterprise storage system presents a number of challenges.
Without a high throughput, low latency connection between your SAN and your cloud compute infrastructure, your business will struggle to extract actionable insights in time to make the best decisions.
Download this white paper to discover technology designed to deliver maximum storage and compute capacity for enterprises, with massive data stores, that need to solve business problems fast without compromising the security of user information.
Small and medium-sized businesses can reduce software licensing and other OPE...Principled Technologies
A cluster of these servers ran a mix of applications with up to 27 percent better application performance than a previous-generation cluster, which
could allow companies to do a given amount of work with fewer servers
Conclusion
As you do your best to balance timing, budget, IT resources, and your current and anticipated server needs, consider how opting for newer servers could help your business. As our testing showed, there are clear benefits to choosing servers that support such workload requirements as keeping databases running at a quick pace and delivering speedy hosting for your business’s website. Plus, a solution that offers the capacity and software features to perform well while natively supporting Kubernetes containers could add value in terms of setup, flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. And you can achieve all of this and possibly reduce OPEX in the process.
In our testing with a mixed workload that reflects some of the needs common to small and medium businesses, a cluster of 16G Dell PowerEdge R7615 single-socket servers powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors outperformed a cluster of previous-generation 15G Dell PowerEdge R7515 servers, with improvements of up to 27 percent and latency reduction of up to 50 percent. These results show that upgrading to the new Dell solution can be a smart step toward meeting the needs of your users now and in the years to come.
When he described Facebook’s operating philosophy as “move fast with a stable infrastructure”, Mark Zuckerberg could have been defining the template for today’s most successful and prosperous enterprises.
First in the market from Atos, the Digital Data Center (DDC) virtualizes all components of enterprise IT, automating processes and allocating pooled resources on-demand. The result is a streamlined data center to help keep pace with the ever-rising expectations on IT, reducing overall cost and maximizing efficiency and security.
Migrate your current data center into a new age with a software-defined architecture that includes compute, storage, network and security services with an end-to-end service approach.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
