Vanderbilt cloud solutions such as ACT365 and SPC Connect are proving popular for security installers due to their adaptability and flexibility. The concept of cloud computing has existed for decades, originating from John McCarthy's idea of time-sharing in the 1960s. Today cloud spending is growing at 12.5% annually and is integrated into everyday activities. Cloud solutions offer convenience and simplicity for businesses, reducing costs compared to maintaining on-site servers. They provide remote access and management capabilities. While some have security concerns about the cloud, providers like Vanderbilt implement strong encryption to protect customer data.
In a recent survey of 250 senior IT & business decision makers by Cloud Industry Forum, 61% expressed concerns over data security in the cloud, despite the fact only 2% have ever experienced a cloud-related security breach. Talk of the cloud and cloud technology has been rife for a long time now, yet there
are still many businesses that subscribe to out-dated
myths, such as data security.
The last few years have seen a marked increase in the
popularity of the cloud but for many it’s another tech
innovation that everyone tells them they need but that they
don’t fully understand. There’s a distinct hype surrounding
discussions on the cloud, but for the most part, they come
across as semi-intelligible fog, full of jargon fi lled techspeak,
with a lack of clarity about the business advantages.
In this whitepaper, we’ll lift the haze around the cloud and take
a straight-forward approach to explore the benefits, making it easy to determine if the cloud is right for you. We’ll clearly state the benefits of using the cloud as well as give an overview of the perceived risks and remove some of the common misconceptions.
In this eBook, we will uncover the specifics of how a
hybrid cloud solution can transform IT management so
that you can become the leader your business needs.
We will compare traditional and hybrid requirements with
respect to three critical areas: how you’ll govern the
system, the management tools you’ll need, and what
your management opportunities will be.

Multitenant, Dedicated or Hybrid - Which cloud to choose?RapidScale
With the increased consideration of the cloud, many organizations are deciding how to best integrate it into their business.
There are three main forms of cloud computing: public, private and hybrid. When considering the move, you shouldn’t just pick one of these at random. The choice should be strategic, based on the characteristics of your business. Each cloud model is best suited for certain types of organizations and needs, so picking the wrong one could backfire.

The Adoption of Cloud Technology by Enterprises - A Whitepaper by RapidValueRapidValue
If we go back in time, people were dependent on the physical computer storage or servers in order to run their programs. Now, with the introduction of cloud computing, people, organizations and enterprises are able to access their programs through the Internet. Cloud computing is gaining prominence, rapidly, and the popularity is growing, each day. Cloud computing is big business, today.According to PC Magazine, it was, already, generating around $100 billion a year in 2012. It is forecasted to increase up to $270 billion by the year 2020.
Enterprises and organizations, these days, are relying heavily on the cloud services and cloud platforms to obtain resources on-demand and that too, in an automated manner.
Organizations can, now, only pay for the resources that they use. Enterprises, also,
relinquish unnecessary resources with the help of using a self-service portal. This serves as a big cost-effective solution, as you can eliminate the need for investing a huge sum of money as capital investment.
This paper addresses the primary reasons for the enterprises migrating to the cloud infrastructure, various types of cloud deployment (technology & services) models IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud, feature comparison of three popular cloud platforms - AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and some examples of how enterprises and consumers are using the cloud technology.

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.
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.

Software Delivery At the Speed of AI: Inflectra Invests In AI-Powered Quality
Cloud Security: A Brief Journey through the Revolutionary Technology
1. Vanderbilt cloud solutions such as ACT365 and SPC
Connect are proving extremely popular choices for
security installers due to the simple mantra of the cloud
– adaptability and flexibility. Although the cloud is one
of the most heavily talked about topics in the industry
right now, the concept has existed for many years,
decades even.
In the early 1960’s, an American computer scientist named
John McCarthy developed the notion of time-sharing.
This initial thought process ultimately kick-started the
pattern development that would lead to today’s polished
version of cloud-sharing - the development of mobile
internet devices helping to normalize McCarthy’s utopian
technology vision.
Today, the cloud forms a massive part of the overall IT
landscape, and per IDC’s latestWorldwide Quarterly cloud
IT Infrastructure Tracker, spending on IT infrastructure for
these environments will grow at a 12.5 percent annual
growth rate (CAGR) to $57.8 billion by 2020.
Consumer demand is largely steering the drive toward
the cloud in everyday activities. Things such as verifying
a bank balance, booking a flight, or checking emails are
all now second nature to us through the cloud. This rapid
integration of the cloud into everyday life is helping to
normalize the platform and ease data security concerns
customers previously had.
Popular
A recent survey carried out by software firm Advanced
stated that 80% of businesses in the UK are still in favor
of cloud adoption in the wake of global cyber-attacks like
WannaCry.
One reason for this continued boom in popularity can be
put down to the factors of convenience and simplicity.
For instance, cloud solutions like Vanderbilt’s ACT365 are
ideal for small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have
limited time and resources to focus on maintenance of
in-house servers and hardware.
Cloud Security: A Brief Journey through the
Revolutionary Technology
2. Take the example of a generic small business.Traditionally,
their customer support, and office management solutions
would have been managed by a big server hosted in a
room at the workplace. When an update needed to be
carried out, someone from IT would have to take the
server down, install the update, and then manage that
locally. If this business wished to expand and grow their
enterprise, they would have to add more servers.
What the cloud achieves, is it puts that server into a virtual
space. It is still physically running on a server somewhere,
but it is now a managed service for customers. So, if a
business is selling cupcakes, that can now be their priority
and they won’t have to worry about the management
and maintenance of a large, physical machine in a dark
room.
Cost savings
If you take a step back and examine where the industry
was ten years ago, this was the case for most companies.
Any company in a decent sized building would have had
a security manager, an IT manager, and an IT support
manager. Now, with the cloud these are all external
services that you no longer need dedicated bodies to
manage.
This can lead to large cost savings with the eradication
of expenses like installing, maintaining and upgrading
on-premises IT infrastructure, versus the operational
cost of a cloud service subscription. Moreover, as their
business grows and they need to add more users, rather
than investing in additional in-house server capacity and
software licenses, they simply adjust their monthly cloud
subscription as required.
Therefore, end users benefit from a system that can be
maintained more efficiently and be easily reconfigured
as their requirements change. Cloud-based security
solutions from Vanderbilt also give users access to true
and deep integration of core security functions such as
access control, intrusion and video.
As an example, ACT365 allows users to remotely verify a
building’s visitor from real- time video images captured at
the point of entry. Access can then be granted remotely
with the click of a mouse button or tap on a smartphone
screen. In the event of a forced door or an alarm activation,
ACT365 gives users immediate recall and easy location of
recorded footage of the incident, allowing them to review
and respond to the situation accordingly. This eliminates
the considerable time and effort required to match up
times on disparate security systems and sift through
masses of camera footage to locate an incident.
Where cloud services benefit Vanderbilt as a company, is
the instant customer feedback it automatically generates.
We can see what features are popular, which in turn tells
us what people want and expect more of.
3. In the past, selling an installation disk provided no idea of
how many panels it was being used on. But with software,
subscription numbers can tell you, for example, that
a specific piece of software is being used on 50 panels,
therefore people obviously like it. At a basic level, this can
start the conversation on how can we can improve that
software even more and make the customer’s experience
even better.
Protection
However, you can’t speak about the cloud without
acknowledging some people’s security concerns around
the technology. As companies migrate more of their data
and infrastructure to the cloud, naturally the question of
cloud security rears its head.
When organizations are considering a move to the cloud,
the primary question asked is this: does hosting our data
in the cloud make our business more vulnerable to attack?
It goes without saying that all systems, whether cloud-
based or traditional, are vulnerable to attack. Therefore,
they should be regularly tested by third-party professional
hackers to make sure they are secure. Vulnerability
testing is a must, as, simply put, untested systems are
unsecured systems.
Location also plays a key role in cloud security concerns.
Whether the server is on your customer’s premises, or
in Microsoft Azure is not the main concern. The means
of access to it is. Look at how the data is accessed, and
look specifically at opportunities to breach. Open ports
should be locked down. Networks and websites should
be password protected. Necessary firewalls should be in
place.
Again, this boils down to vulnerability as most of the
data breaches develop around finding a weakness – not
whether it is cloud-based or on-premises. Concerns about
cloud security are the main obstacle to widespread
conversion. But one of the best cures for that concern is
cloud encryption.
Added defense
The groundwork for many of the cloud’s security worries
is that organizations are ceding control of their data and
depending on cloud service providers to preserve it for
them. But cloud encryption delivers additional levels of
defense, providing an effective antidote to this anxiety.

in the cloud, which is why it has ensured the highest
standards of security are always maintained. For example,
when using SPC Connect, Vanderbilt ensures the process
is highly secure thanks to the implementation of the FlexC
protocol. This uses AES 256-bit SSL encryption at server
level – the same grade used by banks and hospitals.
4. By encrypting anything before you send it to the cloud,
it adds an extra cushion of control and power over that
data. It not only provides an added defensive structure
around a company’s information, but it also adds peace
of mind to the equation when relaying this data to
the cloud.
Advantages
To finalize, the cloud offers major advantages to installers.
By simply logging in via a username and password to
Vanderbilt’s cloud solutions like SPC Connect and ACT365,
it’s possible to remotely view status, set and unset a
system, update firmware, carry out time synchronizations,
backup configuration files, control devices, access an
event log, and view cameras across single or multiple
panels. You can also configure direct messaging by email,
so in the event of an alarm, the installer is notified.
Panels can be added as they are installed, and this installer-
focused solution permits specific tasks to be performed
such as configuration management, troubleshooting,
and regular maintenance. As well as being convenient,
it saves massive amounts of time and money that would
otherwise be spent traveling to and from site, while also
enabling a swift resolution to any issues.
This deliverance of ultimate control is an important
context. In the 21st century, with smartphone technology
embedded into our everyday life, nothing is now more
valuable than our time. Cloud technology hand delivers
this invaluable commodity through its all access installer
app for smartphones and tablets.
What is exciting about cloud solutions is their ability to
unlock productivity. The cloud is dedicated to a simple
mantra - adaptability and flexibility. Miles on the road eat
up time. Cloud technology like Vanderbilt’s ACT365 and
SPC Connect helps ease this situation.
