IBM Systems, combining the strengths of IBM middleware and IBM hardware to create a resilient, modern enterprise infrastructure to make from your IT department a competitive differentiator for your business. Infrastructure Matters #ITMatters
Your servers, our Cloud, the best service in the industry. RapidScale gives you on-demand capacity with the best infrastructure tools and utilities in the industry.
The goal of CloudServer is to provide a flexible, standardized and virtualized operating environment that allows applications to perform at their peak without downtime. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) abstracts hardware (server, storage and network infrastructure) into a pool of computing, storage and connectivity capabilities that are delivered as services for a usage-based (metered) cost. Leveraging our infrastructure allows you to operate like an enterprise-level organization, no matter what size you are.
With CloudServer, you will also receive the benefits of Disaster Recovery. There are a myriad of ways to lose equipment and data, whether it is fire, theft or malfunctioning sprinklers. RapidScale’s CloudServer houses your data in secure Tier 3, Class 1 data centers that are mirrored and securely backed up. This gives your services the ability to be quickly back on-line and running smoothly in the event of a disaster. Our infrastructure resides in multiple data centers so clients can be assured that their business critical applications and data will be fully redundant in a different data center, making it easier to resume business as usual.
CloudServer has a pay-as-you-go model which allows you to scale up or down depending on your needs. Quickly seize new opportunities and get projects up and running with the scalability of our solution. When it comes to pricey hardware, you can save a lot by using our infrastructure and buying only what you use. With IaaS, eliminate the many negative aspects of IT expansion, especially issues with in-house infrastructure, while still receiving the processing power and storage space that you need to run.
CloudServer is based off of enterprise-class infrastructure at a fraction of the costs with 24x7x365 friendly and reliable support. We care about your business’ uptime objectives and security, which is why RapidScale has worked hard to become a leader in CloudServer. With your applications built into a private cloud environment that includes encryption, firewalls and advanced around-the-clock monitoring, they will remain safe and secure. Operate worry-free, knowing that you always have RapidScale’s support.
With your infrastructure hosted off-site, you free up your IT staff to focus on value-added tasks, such as planning and development, instead of running around patching machines and fixing bugs. Reduce risk, eliminate headaches and save money with CloudServer.
CloudOffice is a secure all-in-one solution set combining RapidScale’s four core products and services: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), Desktop as a Service (DaaS), and Hosted Microsoft Exchange.

You remain in control.
Unlike many competitive products, CloudOffice was built on a multi-tenanted Geo Load Balanced Active/Active architecture. This unique design offers several benefits to its end users but most importantly means that customers’ virtual environments are built redundantly upon one another creating the ultimate design in Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity.
RapidScale's consistent hardware refresh cycles ensure that customers’ applications are running on reliable maintained equipment at all times. Services are built in geographically redundant data centers, so if a primary site goes offline, the secondary site will initiate and users will be routed to that site. CloudOffice is a reliable and secure way to store data and clients will experience the latest technology with exceptional data protection.
RapidScale's CloudOffice product replaces a client’s physical IT infrastructure by moving all the customer applications to the Cloud. This eliminates the need for the client’s IT team to maintain and support the physical hardware. This will also minimize the workload on the customer’s finance department regarding the procurement of IT hardware and associated maintenance contracts.
At the infrastructure level, CloudOffice is fully backed by Active Directory architecture to simplify the deployment of user accounts. With our front-end control panel, even non-technical clerical and HR workers have the ability to easily spin up user accounts and provision users with a Desktop, Mailbox, Applications, and File Permissions in one fluid and smooth process using a “next, next, finish” procedure. Built on the same technology as our CloudDesktop platform, rich HD graphics and a seamless end user experience are just a few of the front facing benefits of our CloudOffice product offering.

Computer, network, and, more generally, data security have a growing subfield in Cloud Computing security, often known as cloud-based security. It, too, protects separate groups within a population by encrypting data in a structured hierarchy. There are significant risks and impediments to using cloud services, even though there are solid reasons for their use.

Introduction
Gone are the days where organizations thought a server as a big thing or bulky machines that can only be installed in data centers
As a company we always tasked to find out which one is better i.e. either virtual server or traditional set-up.
A virtual server is a server which shares software and hardware resources with other operating system.
Most organizations are touting server virtualization as the greatest thing an organization can invest. In the past we needed server virtualization to perform every function such as e-mailing, enterprise planning, and e-mail.
Server virtualization have allowed IT departments in various organizations to consolidate multiple servers onto one machine. Kumar, CIO at New York Institute of Technology has indicated that virtual server offers efficiencies when running multiple servers.
2
Virtual server vs. traditional set-up
Virtual server offers a lot of benefits as compared to traditional set-up these benefits are:
Scalability
Minimal downtime
Security
Simplified management
Disaster recovery
Efficient use of resources (Armstrong, 2007)
Scalability: Rather than Cybixx buying a new hardware every time it is needed they need a new server, with a virtual sever, they will be able to spin up a new server in far less time
Minimal downtime: If Cybixx have to work on host servers they can simply move their virtual server to a new host
Security: In virtual server security is usually centralized through the hypervisor software
Simplified management: With virtual server, Cybixx will be able to log into one of their servers and manage all their servers in that environment
Disaster and recovery: With a virtual server Cybixx will find it easier and faster to restore a failed server
Efficient use of resources: Traditional set-up which is also widely known as physical servers run at the capacity of 25 percent that means it leaves plently of leftover processing power and memory but with virtual server only one sever will be hosting multiple virtual servers
3
Conclusion
Cybixx need to invest in virtual server as it offers enormous benefits. The only challenges with virtual servers are:
Upfront cost
Require experienced IT personnel
Proper planning (Herington, 2006)
Upfront cost: To set-up Virtual server environment Cybixx need to invest with about $1000. Additionally, the organization need to invest in at least a SAN and two robust hosts
Experienced IT personnel: Due to complexity, virtu ...

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"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.
