The document discusses how businesses need to adapt to constant and rapid changes in technology by embracing a "continuous cloud infrastructure" and "business-defined IT" approach. This involves having an automated, scalable IT infrastructure that is software-defined, virtualized and optimized to meet changing business needs. A continuous cloud infrastructure provides increased agility, automation, security and reliability to help businesses innovate faster, improve productivity and gain a competitive advantage in an "always-on" world of data growth, new technologies and changing customer demands.
As more companies grow their business in global markets, they discover the need to capture new opportunities in a matter of days rather than months to have competitive advantage and to capture new market share. Their machines are producing terabytes of various data types — video, audio, Microsoft® SharePoint®, sensor data, Microsoft Excel® files — and leaders are searching for the right technologies to capture this data and help provide a better understanding of their business. The HDS big data product roadmap will help customers build a big data enterprise plan that ingests data faster and correlate meaningful data sets to create intelligence that’s easy to consume and helps leaders make the right business decisions.

NFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION REVIEW
Analyze the issues
Hardware
Over-running volume of data is a problem that should be addressed by data management and storage management. Data is being constantly collected but poorly analyzed which leads to excessive amounts of data occupying storage and delay in operations which inevitably affect production, sales and profits. If this remains unresolved, current data may have to be moved to external storage and recovered if needed. There is also the risk of data not being encoded into computers and thus will remain in manual state. This can be a case of redundant or extraneous data that is not yet cleaned and normalized by operations managers with the guidance of IT. This situation is known as data overload where companies actually use only a fraction of the data they capture and store. Many companies simply hoard data to make sure that they are readily available when they are needed. This negatively impacts the Corporation when assessing data relevance, accuracies and timeliness (Marr, 2016).
Software
The Largo Corporation (LC) seems to running on an enterprise resource planning system that is probably as long as 20 years old. Initially, LC has had success with the old system because they were able to establish themselves in various industries such as healthcare, media, government, etc. But due to various concerns, the Corporation is currently running on an outdated system because it is unable to provide services that keeps the Corporation a float. The LC is losing revenue and customers. Complete data without analysis is invaluable because, no information and insights can be produced that will support decisions. Customer data should lead to the best marketing and sales campaigns. The Corporation needs to recognize its weaknesses and implement changes to their software by incorporating funding for a new system that is reliable, secure, and has the ability to run on integrated systems; all of which will streamline data organization and analysis for the enterprise. (Rouse, n.d).
Network/Telecommunications
The network that was built in the 1980’s has become slow and unreliable affecting business operations. The problems caused by the old network are; lack of integration and communication between departments affecting the work flow, supply vs. demand, and inability to analyze data to carry out these operations. The Corporation should have taken into consideration the growth of the company by expanding and upgrading their networks along with their services. They should also take into consideration the number of departments, the number of users and their skill level, storage and bandwidth, and budget (Rasmussen, 2011). The current network does not allow employees to connect on their mobile devices which restricts flexibility and places limitations on productivity and portability.
Management
The responses of both IT and the business group are both juxtaposed against e ...
Data centers and cloud computing may on the face of it, seem to have little in common with manufacturing, but look closer and you will see that the underlying drivers of productivity and efficiency are the same for manufacturing as for any other industry. From collecting and analyzing factory output to ensuring there are no breaks in supply chains, cloud computing can help manufacturing businesses flourish and stay competitive in this, the age of digital.
Despite mid-size business’ desire to leverage the speed, scalability, and economic value of the cloud, many well-established organizations still struggle to keep pace with in a rapidly changing business environment. To remain competitive in a cloud-first world, organizations will need to adopt a different approach to Modern IT in order to manage the ever-present change, risk, and opportunities before them.

Data Virtualization, a Strategic IT Investment to Build Modern Enterprise Dat...Denodo
This content was presented during the Smart Data Summit Dubai 2015 in the UAE on May 25, 2015, by Jesus Barrasa, Senior Solutions Architect at Denodo Technologies.
In the era of Big Data, IoT, Cloud and Social Media, Information Architects are forced to rethink how to tackle data management and integration in the enterprise. Traditional approaches based on data replication and rigid information models lack the flexibility to deal with this new hybrid reality. New data sources and an increasing variety of consuming applications, like mobile apps and SaaS, add more complexity to the problem of delivering the right data, in the right format, and at the right time to the business. Data Virtualization emerges in this new scenario as the key enabler of agile, maintainable and future-proof data architectures.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy.

Hu Yoshida's Point of View: Competing In An Always On World
1. Change Is the Only Constant
Change is happening at a startling pace in an
“always-on” world. From the rates of new technology
adoption and subsequent data growth to perpetually
changing business requirements and a faster push
to market, the challenge to keep up has never been
greater. In fact, the world as we know it is experiencing
an epic shift in technology.
Competing in an Always-
On World: The Need
for Continuous Cloud
Infrastructure
By Hu Yoshida, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer,
Hitachi Data Systems
POINTOFVIEW
According to IDC analysts, we are in the midst of
a once-every-25-years shift to a new technology
platform for growth and innovation. This trend is
being called “the 3rd platform” and is built on mobile
devices and apps, cloud services, mobile broadband
networks, big data analytics and social media. This
shift is expected to drive at least 80% of industry
growth for information and communications technol-
ogies (ICT).
In this always-on world and frenetic climate, business
and IT leaders alike are looking for ways to survive
and thrive. From lines of business to the data center,
many of these professionals are overwhelmed by
mandates to do more. Yet, they are underwhelmed
with less-than-supportive technologies and solutions.
Rather than progressing with their most important
business strategies, many organizations are often
mired in day-to-day requests and crisis control.
They face issues such as customer demands, real-
time expectations and the desire for competitive
advantage that are driving new business hurdles.
Applications must be deployed faster. Resources
must be added and scaled quicker. And risks and
costs must be monitored with razor-sharp attention.
We see organizations looking to technologies such
as cloud computing and big data analytics, as well
as capabilities such as scalability and availability to
provide answers.
2. 2
While cloud computing offers many oppor-
tunities to address business IT priorities,
overall adoption still tends to be slow. This
sluggishness occurs because the require-
ments and solutions for cloud vary greatly,
and there is a fine art to balancing control
and security with cost and flexibility. Most
business leaders realize that big data prom-
ises unparalleled business insights, yet the
rates of data growth are staggering and
difficult to manage. Companies also want to
scale resources quickly and easily from both
a capacity and a performance perspec-
tive. But, they are challenged as to how to
accomplish this scalability without adding to
budgets and data center footprint.
With these shifts in the market happening
quicker than ever, it is understandable if
you are experiencing more questions than
answers. How do you take advantage of
new technologies and existing budgets to
maximize your efficiencies while growing
your business?
Era of Business-Defined I.T.
To support this business-IT relationship, IT
must be more resilient in the trenches and
consistently work with business leaders to
identify and mitigate issues and risks. At the
same time, as technology permeates every
department and supports the way business
is conducted, the enterprise must depend
on, and become more interested in, the
success of IT. The relationship must become
symbiotic, as IT works more collaboratively
than ever with the business to deliver services
and react to changes as they come.
As the goals of IT and business become
inextricably tied for the future success of
the enterprise, the business must help IT
balance its challenges. It must define what
the data center of tomorrow will look like.
In this always-on world, a new vision of the
data center is emerging: what we refer to
as Business-Defined IT.
In the Business-Defined IT approach,
business leaders are looking to the data
center to be futureproof, reliable, adapt-
able and responsive to changes. Likewise,
IT professionals understand that to meet
business needs, the data center technolo-
gies must be software-defined, automated,
high-performance, scalable, nondisruptive,
extensible and virtualized.
POINT OF VIEW
This new vision of the data center will usher
in superior capabilities for your business. It
will help you to prioritize requirements, deliver
services faster and continuously, proactively
greet new technology and opportunities, and
demonstrate new levels of cost efficiency.
Business-Defined IT strives to balance the
needs of an IT-accelerated business as it
lowers risk, complexity and cost.
This balance will demand acute IT effi-
ciency, with emphasis on achieving a
sustainable lower total cost of ownership
(TCO). It will require spending justifica-
tions that are transparent, flexible and
competitive with outside services. It will
dictate uninterrupted services that remain
accessible and secure, and will ensure data
availability and security that are not com-
promised by attempts to lower costs.
The rewards of Business-Defined IT will be
growth and survival. It means exploiting
new data sources and big data to drive
business possibilities. It promotes an opti-
mistic competence that your organization
can scale quickly to market trends and
unplanned opportunities.
Foundation of Business-
Defined I.T.: Continuous Cloud
Infrastructure
We believe that Business-Defined IT
will help you make smart choices for
accelerating your business. The foun-
dation of Business-Defined IT embraces
a future-ready IT infrastructure that we
call a Continuous Cloud Infrastructure.
It is built upon the powerful combination
of advanced, innovative technologies,
and proactive services and support. A
Continuous Cloud Infrastructure provides
business and IT leaders with a trusted
foundation for enterprise private and
hybrid cloud that is optimized for business
performance.
Increased utilization and agility:
Disparate solutions can be difficult and
expensive to manage. With Continuous
Cloud Infrastructure, you can virtualize your
heterogeneous infrastructure with a single
management solution for better utilization,
greater efficiency, agility and lower costs.
