Towards the extinction of mega data centres? To which extent should the Clou...Thierry Coupaye
Keynote by Thierry Coupaye at the IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking, Niagara Falls, Canada, October 2015.
Summary: Cloud computing emerged, a decade or so ago, from underused computing and storage ressources in Internet players mega data centres that were thought to be provided "as a service". As a result of this inception, Cloud is often considered as a synonym for massive data center, which somehow fuels a very centralised vision of (cloud) computing and storage provision. However, we might be at a time in which the pendulum begins to swing back. Indeed, several initiatives are emerging around a vision of more geographically distributed clouds where computing and storage resources are made available at the edge of the network, close to users, in complement or replacement of massive remote data centres. This presentation discusses, through some examples, the evolution of cloud architectures towards more distribution, the signs and stakes of these mutations.
Internap’s Adam Weissmuller and Michael Carman of VMware discuss different paths businesses take toward cloud adoption, how to evolve your own cloud strategy and key considerations for choosing a pro

EMEA10: Trepidation in Moving to the CloudCompTIA UK
Today’s buzz centres on cloud computing. What is it exactly? Will it dent your revenues or does it have potential to add capabilities to your business? How do you deliver value when you don’t “install” anything? Learn how to use this new approach to delivering IT services in your business, what to consider and where it makes sense – and where it doesn’t! Dave Sobel, CEO of Evolve Technologies, talks to you about how to develop cloud offerings and how you position your business for growth around online services. Strategies come from real life experience, industry data, and collaboration with other solution providers to give you the best way to take on the big, bad cloud.
Distinguishing, Evaluating, and Selecting Cloud Service ProvidersGartnerJessica
This presentation is focused on addressing the broad category of Cloud Service Providers. Gartner will provide a overview of how Cloud Service Providers are being defined and how they different from traditional providers of outsourcing or products. And more importantly, what are they offering that is different, new and seeks to solve business problems for the enterprise. This session will provide an overview of these areas and begin the discussion of how do clients develop the business case for certain cloud services offerings.
Topics Discussed
Gartner analysts discussed with participants the following topics:
What is a cloud service provider and how does it differ from traditional outsourcing providers?
How will the approaches to evaluate and select among these providers differ?
How does the business case analysis differ?
Cloud Computing for Banking
What does the future of cloud computing for banking look like—both in the near and long terms? Accenture sees cloud computing as an important step in the continuing industrialization of IT and thus capable of ultimately playing a key role in enabling high performance.
Research from EMA shows that most organizations benefit from their use of automation tools, but some are successful at more than just improved productivity and a reduction in errors. The most successful organizations create a culture of automation and get the most out of the tools they use.
These slides—based on the webinar featuring Dan Twing, President and COO of leading IT research firm EMA--outline what traits set the successful organizations apart from the less successful ones, as well as:
- How organizations organize the scheduling function and the teams that manage the workload automation software
- The sources of budgets and authority, and the extent of evangelizing automation
- The ongoing impact of increasing use of multi-cloud resources as more legacy production work is moved to cloud infrastructures

Microsoft Telecommunications Newsletter | May 2021Rick Lievano
In almost every conversation, I’m astounded by the amount of folks who mention the recent disruption that’s occurred in this industry. As the old adage goes: “…the only constant has been change.” Digital disruption has fueled digital transformation, and with the proliferation of companies offering broader arrays of services, enterprises are scrambling to keep up and offer newer and better things.
There’s been major consolidation across Telco and Media, and the fight for audience and revenue is more fierce than ever. As we have seen in these last few weeks, there have been industry changing merger talks between Warner Media and Discovery, Bouygues and M6 Groupe from Bertelsmann, and even Amazon and MGM. While we’re proud and confident in our most recent acquisitions, it’s safe to say that the competition is heating up.
Internap’s John Freimuth and Steve LeClair of VMware discuss different paths businesses take toward cloud adoption, how to evolve your own cloud strategy and key considerations for choosing a provider to meet your virtualization goals.

Michael Lawrey, Executive Director Architecture, Online & Media spoke to the Cloud Conference & Expo in Sydney on the importance of service level agreements and standards in Cloud Computing, particularly at an enterprise level.
Nava Levy, cVidya VP Cloud/SaaS, presents at cVidya's Annual User Conference describes what "living in the eye of the storm" means including cVidya's Big Data announcement.
The question of whether to transition enterprise applications to the cloud is a valid question in most organizations. Determining which applications should go and how to maintain control once they are there, however, is slowing down the journey to the cloud.
These slides - based on the webinar hosted by leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) - cover how you can avoid the common mistakes and reduce risk in the transformation to cloud.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
