The Business Value of VCE Vblock Systems: Leveraging Convergence to Drive Business Agility
In the past decade, information technology (IT) evolved from an enabler of back-office business processes to the very foundation of a modern business. In the increasingly digital and mobile world, the datacenter is often the first and most frequent point of contact with customers. The ability to innovate quickly lies at the heart of today’s changing business models. Businesses expect their IT investments to accelerate their pace of innovation, provide flexibility to meet new demands, and continually reduce the costs of operations.
Converged infrastructure is essential for many companies to ensure that their datacenter infrastructures can meet today’s challenges. The business rationale for deploying converged infrastructure goes far beyond traditional IT feeds and speeds. Customers using converged solutions like VCE’s Vblock Systems (Vblock) realize lower costs, greater levels of utilization, and reduced downtime. VCE customers in this study recognized business benefits such as improved organizational agility, faster application development, increased innovation, and improved employee productivity.
IDC interviewed 16 VCE Vblock Systems customers to understand and quantify the benefits delivered by their Vblock converged infrastructure deployments. Vblock Systems are built by VCE using compute, network, and storage technologies and virtualization software from Cisco, EMC, and VMware.
IDC found that by using Vblock Systems, these organizations recorded improved business outcomes and that these improvements are increasingly driving IT investment decisions.
All VCE customers interviewed for this study generated substantial business value by consolidating their IT infrastructures with Vblock. IDC calculates that these VCE customers will generate five-year discounted benefits worth an average of $384,202 per 100 users by using Vblock, which will result in an average return on investment (ROI) of 518% and a payback period of 7.5 months.

Lincoln Academy Core Knowledge Charter SchoolBeckyCorning
This slideshow contains information about Lincoln Academy, a Core Knowledge charter school (K-8) in Arvada, CO. Types of information include test scores, number of teachers, and community data from the U.S. census.
In May 2011, Informa conducted a global survey of the community built around the LTE World Series of events. We asked a broad cross-section of more than 500 industry executives from all members of the LTE ecosystem to answer around 20 questions on the current and future status of LTE. This presentation summarises our findings.
Prior to the start of the new year we published our 2017 trend framework (http://engage.epsilon.com/top-trends-for-2017) this document sets the foundation for how we identify macro trend territories that have the highest probability of creating new behaviors and empower consumers through the lens of Connection, Cognition & Immersion in the near future.
CES 2017 was our first opportunity to further validate the territories but more importantly identify some of the key tech trends that will have a major impact on marketing over the next few years. In the attached document you will find an in-depth review of key trends such as the impact a connected product ecosystem and how Alexa Voice Services are quickly positioning to scale quickly through 3rd party integrations. You will also find examples of new types of interfaces and input devices that may further lead to an ambient computing future.
2017 is also the turning point from “everything will be connected” to everything will be cognified”. The impact of artificial intelligence will be a big topic in 2017 and Epsilon is uniquely positioned to capitalize (look for more on this topic on January 19th via an industry AI op-ed). CES validated the idea of pervasive cognition as well as advancements via contextual assistants and object recognition. The rapidly developing immersion ecosystem built on full sensory immersion, spatial freedom and alternative interfaces also caught our attention.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

To achieve this, Digital Harbor offers three new layers of technology. Starting at the bottom, we logically access information in many different sources. EII = Enterprise Information Integration. We leave the information where it physically resides and link to it. We can access data in databases, web services, XML documents, JMS messages, and other enterprise applications as if they came from one source. For instance, you may have customer data in two different databases (and it may be stored as cust_name and cust_id, but it is one concept, a “customer”). At the middle level is where a lot of the “magic” happens. Digital Harbor preserves the meaning of the underlying information and captures the relationships between things. For instance, we know what a customer is because we know that it is related to other things—other pieces of data like accounts and branches and advisors and exceptions, as well as information about processes (who approved the loan), rules (is it a large customer or small customer), and events (customer requests a new loan). We have a fancy name for this layer—called a “Business Ontology”—but it’s a very simple idea. Just like you have a schema in any one database that describes how Data A is related to Data B, a Business Ontology is like a schema across systems. And…since there is information in our processes, rules, and events, the Business Ontology links together those pieces of information as well. (For the technologists in the crowd, ontologies are a very hot topic in the industry, being led by Tim Berners-Lee who invented the internet and the W3C, where we participate in the 3 rd largest committee they have on OWL (ontology web language). ) Finally, as we’ve described in the compliance example, it isn’t enough to show the data side-by-side on a static screen. Users need to seamlessly and dynamically link between pieces of information that may originate in different physical systems at the bottom level. Our “Smart Client” is a composite interface that preserves the meaning of the information it displays, along with the relationships between things. It interoperates with portals and other web UIs, but because it is tied to the middle layer, it adds “intelligence” that they don’t have.

So let’s look a an example of a composite application we built for a defense customer The first thing you’ll see is that the interface combines information from various stove-pipe applications together, all in one interface over the web. You’ll also notice that this composite application is very rich in functionality that you usually don’t see in static web solutions. In this example, the composite application is pulling information from an Oracle database, a Sybase database, a mapping server – such as ESRI, and a scheduling system. Click, Click What you see now is that as I click on a new piece of information from the Oracle database, the application automatically changes the information from the other data sources to match the information I just clicked on. This is automatic correlation because the objects know about each other. Click Click Now, you can drill down on any piece of information and get data related to that piece of information. For example, here, I clicked on the map and I automatically see an image that comes from yet another imagery system, that is associated to that image marker or lat/long. Click Click Now, let’s see the real power of the Ontology. Because every piece of information is related to each other, I can ASK questions about any piece of data. In this example here, I’m looking at the scheduling system and asking – who is the current person or actor responsible for this task? I get my answer – Buck. I can even go further and ask – what other tasks does Buck have on his plate. And I automatically get that. The key concept to grasp here is that the information is being fetch across multiple data sources and that the composite application developer never added this functionality in by coding. Users get this automatically through the ontology. Just in this example, you’re asking information from a workflow process while in runtime and combining it with relational data. That’s something today that requires an intensive amount of integration and coding by back-end developers that are not taking a composite application approach.

We’re an enterprise software company. Its typical in this forum to share financials at the end, but we’re somewhat atypical in that we have been around for 5 years, have revenues, have a product, and are cash flow positive…. Key Takeaways: We’ve been around We make real money, have real customers High profile individual investors are excited about us

Digital Harbor got its start in 1997 in the Defense Intelligence world (NSA). The reason they turned to Digital Harbor is that they have enormous volumes of information (peda-bytes!), in different forms (data, documents, email, images, etc), and in different sources/silos. Their analysts needed to (in their words) “connect the dots” across these types and sources—to “compose a picture of the situation” so they could assess “risks” and “threats”. And while they had spent over $1B in the 90’s on traditional infrastructure technologies for integration, workflow, etc, they found, at the end of the day, that these solutions focused on the technical issues (the plumbing) but didn’t help users see links and relationships between pieces of information so they could make the right decisions. They needed a platform for composing information into a complete picture—a Composite Application.
