This document discusses architectures for enabling business intelligence and analytics on NoSQL data. It begins by outlining common questions around enabling ad-hoc reporting, improving dashboard performance, integrating data, and balancing simple and complex queries. It then reviews several architectures: using only NoSQL for reports, treating NoSQL as a data source, writing programs to access NoSQL in BI tools, and enabling SQL access to NoSQL data. Examples are provided of companies using different architectures, such as only NoSQL, NoSQL with MySQL, or NoSQL via a SQL database.
Business and IT agility through DevOps and microservice architecture powered ...Lucas Jellema
IT needs to run in production in order to generate business value. DevOps is among other things a way of thinking focusing on production software. A business application requires a tailor made platform to generate business value. The combination of application and its platform is a DevOps product. The DevOps team has full responsibility for that product through its entire lifecycle.
The microservices architecture promises flexibility, scalability, and optimal use of compute resources. Via independent components with well-defined scope and responsibility, interface, and ownership that are evolved and managed in an automated DevOps process, this architecture leverages current technologies and hard-learned insights from past decades.
This session defines the objectives of Business with IT, of microservices and DevOps and introduces Containers and the container platform Kubernetes as crucial ingredients for making DevOps happen.
Hybrid Cloud A Journey to the Cloud by Peter HellemansNRB
A recent Avanade study highlighted that, although it is not yet clear how and under what conditions it will be effective and efficient, within 4 years more than half of the Belgian business applications and services will be deployed in a hybrid cloud environment.
The integration of the hybrid cloud within the IT infrastructure is a key success factor when defining a hybrid cloud approach that links to private and public clouds. An optimized integration can only be defined and implemented after determining the criteria to select the most suitable cloud. Those criteria include workloads, security, expected performance, data sovereignty, costs...
NRB Hybrid Cloud approach will demonstrate how this integration can be rapidly defined and implemented. We will explain why and how to choose your cloud approach and show you the benefits of implementing a hybrid cloud strategy.

HR in the cloud is a growing trend, with market forces pushing HR systems and processes to software-as-a-service (SaaS) models. However, SaaS alone does not address the need to outsource routine transaction processing and call center support. While SaaS solutions continue gaining traction, acquisitions by large vendors are also consolidating the market. Considerations for buyers include verifying capabilities for global payroll, integration, mobile access, and reducing customizations versus outsourcing transaction processing and help desk support through an HR business process outsourcing provider.
Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.[1] At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. For example, a cloud computer facility that serves European users during European business hours with a specific application (e.g., email) may reallocate the same resources to serve North American users during North America's business hours with a different application (e.g., a web server). This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, rackspace, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications.

Leveraging mobility - turning enterprise wireless into a business enablerLogicalis Australia
Mobility is no longer about the provisioning of remote access or BYOD. Mobility is about enabling organisations to communicate with customers in different ways, create new revenue streams, reduce infrastructure costs and obtain a competitive advantage in the market, without compromising on security or manageability.
It’s not about “picking the right cloud” but choosing the right strategy that matches workloads to the most appropriate delivery model. Logicalis provides an overview of some of the challenges of moving to “the Cloud” and how we help customer determine the most effective cloud model.
It’s not about “picking the right cloud” but choosing the right strategy that matches workloads to the most appropriate delivery model. Logicalis provides an overview of some of the challenges of moving to “the Cloud” and how we help customer determine the most effective cloud model.
The 6 steps to building a private cloud are:
1. Standardize and simplify infrastructure by choosing critical vendors to reduce management points.
2. Drive down I/O consolidation to reduce cables and switches through network collapse and native 10Gbps connectivity.
3. Improve storage efficiency through techniques like thin provisioning, deduplication, and thin replication to reduce costs.
4. Automate infrastructure through tools that configure attributes and rapidly provision resources like hypervisors do for operating systems.
5. Implement uniform scale through a single management entity that can scale resources linearly.
6. Orchestrate resources through self-service delivery, policy-driven provisioning, and model-based management to improve innovation.
Preparing an Effective BYOD or Mobility Strategy outlines a 5-step process for developing a BYOD strategy:
1. Develop a business case by calculating the costs and savings of a BYOD program.
2. Segment the workforce based on work styles and common use cases.
3. Map workforce segments to planned service offerings like laptops, VDI, or mobile devices.
4. Define BYOD policies around minimum device standards, entitlements, and rules of use.
5. Design a new support model where IT supports applications and OS, while users support hardware.
1. The document discusses how technology and business needs are changing in the "New Normal" environment, with trends like mobility, generational shifts, and big data growth.
2. It outlines both strategic and tactical steps companies can take to address these changes, such as deploying an agile infrastructure, adopting virtual workspaces, and outsourcing non-critical functions.
3. A key strategic consideration is how to leverage cloud computing - whether public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid models - to gain agility, reduce costs, and adapt IT to changing demands and technologies.
Work is something you do, not a place you go: flexible working means creating a a workplace model that enables communication and collaboration regardless of location or device.Done well, flexible working creates sustainable competitive advantage in the form of top talent retention and a reduction in the fixed-cost for property.
