My talk on the biggest disruptions to CDO's, 1) The Gravity of Data, 2) DevOps & Software Defined Everything, and 3) Watson the horizon for Cognitive Computing
The document discusses cloud computing and its advantages over traditional computing models. It notes that cloud computing makes mobile computing more powerful by allowing devices to leverage large, remote computing resources. The cloud is described as empowering, agile, accessible, reusable, and disposable. Examples are given of how cloud services replace outdated models like maintaining private servers and carrying around local copies of files. The cloud allows for cheap, fast, always available services and new digital deal-making infrastructures.
Java is an open language. Every developer or organization can contribute to its open source components (libraries & frameworks) and even to the language specifications itself. This way, the community helps to improve the language continuously. While this gives developers a lot of freedom, it makes it hard to standardize. The software architecture of a Java application starts with its runtime (that is the combination of frameworks, specifications and application server). For years, monolitic JEE applications were hosted on heavy application servers. But is this platform the best option for fast, flexible and controlled delivery of business value embedded in cloud native-applications running on both IAAS-platforms and CAAS-containers? In this session Java-champion Bert Ertman will give his view.
1) Cloud computing originally promised easy provisioning, commodity pricing, and elastic scalability. While significant progress has been made in these areas, challenges remain, especially with scalability.
2) Hardware costs like RAM have declined significantly following Moore's Law, lowering some cloud computing prices. However, software development productivity gains have not kept pace, making writing cloud applications still difficult.
3) New platforms aim to further improve ease of use and scalability by abstracting away the complexity of virtual machines and infrastructure. The future of cloud computing relies on a portable Platform as a Service layer that can span multiple cloud providers.

The document discusses the importance of building an open cloud architecture where cloud services are widely adopted. It covers cloud computing basics like virtualization platforms and private clouds. The document emphasizes that 99% of the value of cloud computing comes from services above the hypervisor layer, including compute, storage, and leveraging private, public and hybrid clouds. It also discusses how containers are now integrated into clouds and how cloud orchestration works. The overall message is that cloud computing provides value through scaling and on-demand services above the basic virtualization layer.
What will the impact be of advances in robotics, AI and machine learning? How will they affect research and education? Slides from my talk at the 2017 "This is IT" conference at Cardiff University.

While newer technologies like commodity clusters and Hadoop have gained popularity, mainframe systems still power many critical applications today. A survey found that over 350 organizations still own and manage mainframes, which is likely more than the number of large-scale Hadoop clusters worldwide. Mainframes have been in use for over 60 years and are still relied on by most Fortune 500 companies, banks, retailers, insurers, and governments for applications like banking, manufacturing, defense systems, and more. New tools are now available to connect mainframe data with modern analytics platforms.

Daniel Beazer - what to look for from your cloud service provider / Unlocked:...Rackspace Academy
Daniel Beazer, analyst at Structure Research, discusses the latest trends in the hosting and cloud marketplace, based on research from CTOs, CIOs and IT Directors.
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources like servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. It allows companies to access these resources as needed without having to build and maintain their own physical infrastructure. Popular cloud services include infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). While cloud computing provides many benefits like flexibility, scalability, and cost savings, some disadvantages include security risks, loss of control over data, and potential service disruptions.
The document discusses responsive design and some of its challenges. It notes that while responsive design aims to apply different styles based on screen size, screen size is really just a proxy for context. It argues that responsive design cannot fully account for factors like bandwidth, purpose, and context. The document concludes that responsive design is limited because CSS was not designed to make complex decisions based on non-visual factors, and a better approach is to focus on information architecture rather than trying to shoehorn everything into CSS.
The last 5 years have been transformative in the AI industry, how will the next 10 look like? We've seen an explosion in IoT devices and the data flowing through them — ubiquitous computing is here to stay. How would this change the ecosystem with respect to hardware, solution development, testing, copyrights, privacy, etc.? And finally, a prediction of what all of this means for businesses, current and new, in light of advancements in deep learning.
Linthicum what is-the-true-future-of-cloud-computingDavid Linthicum
This document discusses the future of cloud computing. It begins with an overview of the history and growth of cloud computing. Emerging trends include more organizations adopting cloud services in practice rather than just discussing them, as well as greater focus on analyzing large amounts of data ("Big Data") in the cloud. The future of cloud computing is predicted to include it becoming a standard part of IT, improved security models, centralized data as a strategic asset, more powerful mobile devices, and integrated "composite clouds". The document recommends investing in platforms as a service, centralized identity management, service-oriented architectures, mobile applications, and companies that can aggregate various cloud offerings.

In less than a lifetime, data processing has accelerated from punched cards to real-time analytics, where data streams continuously in seconds, hours, or less. Early big data architectures relied on disk and RAM storage, which have plummeted in cost. Customers now expect always-on, real-time experiences across banking, recommendations, and more due to factors like social media, fitness trackers, mobile devices, and the internet of things, which generates perpetual streams of data. Current architectures have adapted to handle real-time data streams rather than batched data.
The document discusses how managing application performance and service level agreements (SLAs) has become significantly more complex over the past decade. Where once a few system administrators could manage performance on a single server, applications and infrastructure are now massively distributed across physical, virtual, and cloud environments with a wide range of technologies. This hyper-scaled, complex modern IT landscape is far beyond human capabilities to manage performance and meet SLAs without automated tools.
