Redefining HCI: How to Go from Hyper Converged to Hybrid Cloud InfrastructureNetApp
The hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) market is entering a new phase of maturity. A modern HCI solution requires a private cloud platform that integrates with public clouds to create a consistent hybrid multi-cloud experience.
During this webinar, NetApp and an IDC guest speaker covered what led to the next generation of hyper converged infrastructure and which five capabilities are required to go from hyper converged to hybrid cloud infrastructure.
About the Talk:
Cloud native ecosystem is bringing a huge change in the way of DevOps in every cloud native organisation. Developers and operators in cloud native organisations are using tools and platforms like Kubernetes to achieve the agility promised by DevOps and microservices. The tools and best practices for stateless applications have been well established and the results can be seen in the agility of teams using these stateless applications. However, stateful applications pose new challenges to DevOps teams in achieving the agility as the best practices around persistent storage management are still emerging. In this talk, first we discuss the challenges faced by DevOps while dealing with persistent storage handling in stateful applications. Then we discuss the open source tools and best practices for DevOps teams to achieve data agility of cloud native applications.
NetApp FlexPod is a converged infrastructure solution that lets customers reduce the deployment time and total cost of infrastructure by half! This is the CiscoLive session slide deck that provided an overview of this popular solution.

10 Lessons Learned from Meeting with 150 Banks Across the GlobeDataWorks Summit
Who's looking at you? Your ocean of data--is it secure? Leading banks and capital markets firms process huge amounts of data from traditional and non-traditional sources. Regulatory risk is present in all of these businesses and there is always internal risk. A few rogue individuals can cause extraordinary losses if their malicious activities go unnoticed. And compliance teams need to analyze both data-in-motion and data-at-rest to detect suspicious activity in real-time.
Join Diego Baez, GM Financial Services for Hortonworks, as he discusses the top lessons learned over the last two years, from his work with over 150 Financial Services Companies across the globe, including Global Mega Banks, Regional institutions, Hedge Funds, Fintech, Regulators and Central banks. Hear as he covers the key lessons learned from these clients - what is working, what is not - and which institutions are harnessing the power of BigData and Analytics to transform their business.
Bluemix provides developers with multiple open-source compute options to run their apps, chief among them Cloud Foundry, the world’s leading platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering. Cloud Foundry enables teams to practice continuous delivery by supporting the full software development lifecycle, from dev to deployment. One of the key advantages of the platform is the ability it gives developers to easily configure and start using a MongoDB datastore for their application. In this lightning talk, Bluemix developer advocate Jake Peyser will go over Cloud Foundry and best practices for data storage when using the platform. He will then take attendees through a live demo where he will show users how to quickly configure a MongoDB instance in Bluemix and connect it to an application.

Running Enterprise Workloads with an Open Source Hybrid Cloud Data ArchitectureDataWorks Summit
Cloud is turbocharging the Enterprise IT landscape with agility and flexibility. And now, discussions of cloud architecture dominate Enterprise IT. Cloud is enabling many ephemeral on-demand use cases which is a game-changing opportunity for analytic workloads. But all of this comes with the challenges of running enterprise workloads in the cloud securely and with ease.
With the convergence of cloud, IoT, and big data technologies, enterprises increasingly have their data spread across multiple data lakes on-prem and in cloud data lake stores in many geographies and across multiple public cloud vendor platforms, for example, due to regulatory and compliance mandates that limit cross-border data transfer. With the proliferation of data types and sources in this complex landscape, the process of discovery, provisioning, and running relevant workloads on this data to gather insights has become more complex. Additionally, gaining global visibility into the business context, usage, and trustworthiness of data requires a centralized view of all data and metadata, security controls, data access, and monitoring.
All of these challenges create a significant chasm between initial data capture and subsequent data insights generation to drive value creation. Therefore, enterprises now require a “global insight fabric” that can find a happy medium between adequate rules and policies of data governance while providing a trusted environment for users to collaborate and share data responsibly in order to create value.
In this talk, we will outline how Hortonworks DataPlane Service(DPS) can help customers build a global insight fabric that can span storing and analyzing data within data centers to implementing an open source hybrid architecture that takes advantage of cloud's elasticity and new use cases. We will get a personal view of the challenges faced in safely moving data from on-premises data centers into multiple public clouds, safeguarding it through replication, and then applying consistent security and governance policies across diverse environments to deliver trusted data and insights to the business. We will highlight how DataPlane Service can help enterprises with this hybrid architectural journey, and how open source architectures are enabling this transformation across enterprises.

NetApp IT Data Center Strategies to Enable Digital TransformationNetApp
During an Insight Las Vegas 2017 breakout presentation, NetApp IT Customer-1 Director, Stan Cox, and Senior Storage Architect, Eduardo Rivera explained how NetApp IT enables digital transformation with data center strategies that incorporates ONTAP AFF systems in the data center to save power, cooling & space and NetApp Private Storage and ONTAP Cloud to leverage the public cloud while retaining control of their data. Using OnCommand Insight for data center management—and its integration with their configuration management database—the NetApp IT team knows what’s in their data centers, in terms of both functionality, usage, and inter-connections. NetApp IT believes knowing what’s in your data centers is fundamental to maintaining total cost of ownership, adapting to new technologies, leveraging the cloud while owning your data, and enabling digital transformation.
Bridging the gap: achieving fast data synchronization from SAP HANA by levera...DataWorks Summit
American Water will share the success story of American Water’s production use case of leveraging Hadoop and Streaming to ingest and supply de-normalized data from the source transactional systems to end-user applications. It covers the end-to-end flow and the challenges faced.
The data is de-normalized into single subject views at the source to eliminate complex join logic during ingestion into the data lake. Within the views, only timestamps on highly volatile tables have been exposed to give visibility to updates and inserts that have occurred on a table. NiFi ingests the data with a new processor and then stores it in ACID tables in Hive. The custom processor polls the timestamp columns, which generates paginated queries that consists of the delta.
American Water’s use case: Our field employees are our front line with our customers and in the past have felt unable to help customers effectively with our past technologies. One of the largest initiatives is to enable our field employees with accurate and up-to-date information via a new application so they can provide a great customer experience.

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).

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
