Cloud computing in africa emerging trends & perspectivesFola Odufuwa
Cloud-computing is in its early growth stages, large corporate enterprises being earlier adopters. Market activity across Africa appears supply-side driven rather than demand-side driven. Exception is South Africa where demand is arising from the private sector. SMEs and the public sector without legacy IT assets can be greatest beneficiaries.
Cloud providers are mostly global US-based players with some local presence. A number of South African based companies like Dimension Data and Internet Solutions are competing aggressively by providing services on the continent. Local IT providers and telcos typically compete with global brands within the cloud market. Public sector usage is limited though the governments of Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria are beginning to explore public cloud solutions
Our infographic “A Fresh Approach to remote IoT Connectivity” has been designed to provide IoT applications developers – particularly those focused on remote, roaming and mission critical applications – with information and advice on connectivity options, device design and future-proofing to prolong the lifespan of the application and avoid costly mistakes.
These days, in our industry, two words have the highest exposure rate. One is 5G, and the other is a smart city.
The Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, these new concepts have emerged one after another, promoting the entire society to accelerate toward informatization, digitization, and intelligence.
Big bosses from all walks of life are keeping a close eye on technological trends, hoping to take the lead in introducing technology, improving production efficiency, and realizing digital transformation.
As a result, various hotspot terms have emerged one after another, such as 5G smart factory, 5G smart park, 5G smart agriculture, 5G smart shopping malls, and so on.
The smart city originated in the media field, which refers to the use of various information technologies or innovative concepts to open up and integrate the city's systems and services to improve the efficiency of resource utilization, optimize city management and services, and improve the quality of life of citizens.

Healthcare Infrastructure Solutions that Deliver Dramatic SavingsMestizo Enterprises
Shrinking Budgets, Consolidation, and the incessant demand for more functionality, more services, more integration at lower cost is harming healthcare operations. Decision Makers are at a loss when faced with technical decisions that force them to spend money on cable plants, network switches, telco closet expansions to meet "today's standards", and more and more energy consumption. Sandia National LABS cut more than 1 Million Kilowatt hours and is predicting a savings of 20 Million Dollars over the next 5 years alone and they spent less money on upgrades than ever before.
Internet connectivity has become increasingly important for both consumers and enterprises. But their connectivity needs differ significantly from each other. Telco operators so far have monetized on the needs of consumers while providing similar solutions to enterprises. As the revenues from consumers saturate, operators now eye upon the possible revenues generated by addressing enterprise use cases.
The private network is one such connectivity product that caters to industrial connectivity needs in various sectors. In the presentation, I have explored the global trends paving way for the success of the private networks, the problems it addresses in various sectors, and finally the projected revenue that Indian operators can generate by 2030 with this product.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
5. No one cares about the Cloud
• 95% of those claiming never to have
used the Cloud, actually do so via
online banking, shopping, music…
• People don’t care how, they care
about convenience.
6. They care about convenience so much
that mobile Cloud is Key to All Cars…
Newspapers - 480 m daily
PCs - 1.1 b
Phones - 1.2 b land-line
Internet users - 1.4 b
Transforms car value equation:
80% of innovation in car today from ICT
Vehicle 3rd-fastest-growing connected device
(smartphones, tablets)
7. Clarity
• Cloud: data acquisition or distribution through
the Internet and wireless networks (not stored
locally)
• Dramatic uses in places we don’t see
– Developing world: b/m used cars Kenya, Nigeria
• Redefines car as moving information transceiver
8. The Cloud Means…Standardization
• A comparison that Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst made
recently on the importance of standardization during
the manufacturing era, of assembly parts: “If nuts and
bolts had been patented and you had to buy your
screwdriver from the same company that made the
screws, the jet engine would not have been invented.
Nuts and bolts were the ‘open source’ of the
manufacturing era.” Jim compares the arrival of the
Cloud to the standardizing influence of nuts and bolts,
making a plug-and-perform component assembly
possible in the information era.
9. …Efficiency
• Cloud services can be deployed rapidly for substantial
savings. The GSA shifted email to the cloud, for example, for
a 50% reduction over 5 years. Clouds are:
• Economical: with pay-as-you go, low initial investment;
• Flexible: able to add or subtract capability quickly and easily;
and
• Fast: eliminating long certification processes, while
providing a near-limitless selection of services.
• Keystone private sector organizations have been quick to
create Cloud ecoystems to make adoption easier. IBM plans
to support about 200 million users by the end of 2012 as
clients shift core applications and processes to the IBM
SmartCloud.
10. …Mandated information flow
• The U.S. feds spent $600-billion on IT in the past decade, with little
improvement compared to the private sector. Projects were hand-
crafted, over-budget, and behind schedule.”
• The shift that is now mandated to the “Cloud First” policy will:
– TERMINATE one-third of underperforming projects;
– CRUSH 800 datacentres out of 2,000, because they exist to run custom-
made software;
– MODULARIZE development
– CREATE a government-wide marketplace for data centre availability.
• Information will be force-fed into the Cloud, and vehicles will tap
into it

Mobile Technologies Support Each Other
3G/UMTS/HSDPA/4G and WLAN
are NOT competitors….
…they support each other as
partners
With much of this increased traffic directly attributable to dual-mode smartphones featuring both
3G and WiFi access – with the iPhoneTM representing the vanguard of this movement – many
mobile operators are now looking at WiFi networks as a way to offload data from their 2G or 3G
infrastrucure. Offloading effectively forestalls the requirement for expensive mobile network
upgrades while delivering a positive user experience. That is, assuming the WiFi network is up to
the task.

Future Challenges in Wireless Communications
Major Trends:
• Ubiquitous, global wireless broadband communications
• New Wave of wireless connectivity: Smart grid, cars, buildings, medical devices,
TVs, gaming devices, appliances, tablets...
• IP protocol centric communications
29. Spectrum Sharing Innovation Impediments
• Primary use of indoor simulation/emulation (WiFi)
environments
• Lack of realistic physical testbed environment for spectrum
sharing research and experimentation
• Industry looking for assurance on ROI drivers, limiting
focus to a few spectrum bands
– RF behaviors, spectrum etiquettes, security, loss of control
• Lack of integrated testbed environments with cellular, grid,
transportation and cyber infrastructure
• Collaboration need between national and commercial
stakeholders
