How Savvy Firms Choose the best Hyperconverged Infrastructure for their BusinessDataCore Software
Hyper-converged storage is the latest buzz phrase in storage. The exact meaning of hyper-converged storage varies depending on the vendor that one consults, with solutions varying widely with respect to their support for multiple hypervisor and workload types and their flexibility in terms of hardware componentry and topology.
Regardless of the definition that vendors ascribe to the term, the truth is that building a business savvy hyper-converged infrastructure still comes down to two key requirements: selecting a combination of infrastructure products and services that best fit workload requirements, and selecting a hyper-converged model that can adapt and scale with changing storage demands without breaking available budgets.

Protect the Hype: Backup Best Practices for Converged & Hyperconverged Infras...marketingunitrends
Infrastructure is getting smaller through convergence. Cisco UCS exploded in the market by reducing infrastructure components and footprint. Hyperconverged vendors like Nutanix are taking that concept even further – talking about “invisible infrastructure.” The shifts in delivery of storage, compute, networking and virtualization create huge opportunities to improve delivery and TCO, but they can also make you want to tear your hair out trying to protect it all.

Modernizing Applications with Microservices and DC/OS (Lightbend/Mesosphere c...Lightbend
**Featuring Aaron Williams, Head of Advocacy at Mesosphere, Inc. and Markus Eisele, Developer Advocate at Lightbend, Inc.**
The traditional architecture that enterprises run their businesses on has typically been delivered as monolithic applications running in a virtualized, on-premise infrastructure. Public and private cloud technologies have changed everything, but if the applications are not designed, or re-designed, appropriately, then it is impossible to take advantage of the advances in both distributed application services and hybrid infrastructure. Consequently, enterprise architects are looking to microservices-based architectures as a means to modernize their legacy applications.
This webinar with Lightbend and partner Mesosphere will introduce a new framework specifically designed to help developers modernize legacy Java EE applications into systems of microservices and then discuss exactly what is required to run these distributed systems at enterprise scale.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Editor's Notes
IT in data centers is still evolving and there are new innovations that can help mitigate challenges and create opportunities.
Lets talk about today’s challenges
Data centers today have unprecedented challenges, but great opportunities as well
Continue to struggle with inflexible systems
Stuck in a silo approach that is hard to secure and manage
Have a continued need to reduce cost
Need to innovate and rapidly deploy new services and capabilities
Need to continue to manage and reduce risk
Bring costs in control
Technologies such as Hyperconverged and software defined can help
“Tightly coupled compute, network and storage hardware that dispenses with the need for a regular storage area network (SAN). Storage management functions — plus optional capabilities like backup, recovery, replication, deduplication and compression — are delivered via the management software layer and/or hardware, together with compute provisioning.”
According to the Storage Networking Industry Association(SNIA), about 60 percent of data center CAPEX and OPEX is spent on SANs and SAN-attached storage. Hyperconvergence potentially eliminates all of these costs.
By converging storage, storage management, and the SAN at the hypervisor level and placing the SDS stack adjacent to the workloads, hyperconvergence reduces IT complexity, increases application performance, and delivers a dramatically more adaptive infrastructure. Storage-intensive applications become easier to deploy, manage, and scale than on traditional systems. This in turn reduces capital and operating costs — a critical consideration at a time when data is growing far faster than budgets.
Hyperconverged technology helps agencies and institutions deliver more robust digital services while reducing their cost and complexity.
It’s faster to deploy in the face of ever-evolving workload challenges
It’s easier to scale when new capacity is needed
It offers higher performance for today’s critical applicstructures
It drives higher availability at lower cost thanks to virtualization
It ensures stronger data protection thanks to automated backup, deduplication, recovery, and monitoring
Hyperconverged solutions are perfect for the needs of technology organizations tasked with delivering future-ready innovation on budgets that barely keep pace with today’s demands.
More predictable data center economics, even in uncertain times
Ideal match for building smarter shared and consolidated services
Worry-free transitions to the cloud-driven services internal and external customers demand
Rock-solid availability and continuity of operations
Minimize IT operational workload, freeing time and talent for more strategic challenges
Drastically reduced capex and opex
Tomorrow’s demands are uncertain. One thing we know for sure is that users will want more (e.g., services, applications, choices) and a hyperconverged infrastructure helps deliver on those requirements.
The final realization of what started with server virtualization: a software layer, supported by distributed hardware resources that delivers infrastructure as an application (i.e., an applistructure).
The end user sees little difference, but IT gets to replace specialized hardware, solutions, and even skills sets with a single unified platform for building and managing compute demand needs.
What gets virtualized?
“Orchestration and Automation”
WAN management
Continuous monitoring
backup, deduplication, and recovery
Capacity analytics, load balancing
Identity/access management
Perimeter/workload security
Better flexibility to quickly respond to new demands
Stronger simplicity of a single management pane across all resources
More cost-effective scaling thanks to reliance on commodity, not specialized, hardware
Easier automation of IT tasks and workloads
Reduced need for specialized IT skill sets
Instead of transforming new or existing servers with software, appliances ship with software already loaded and tested
Great for larger virtual server and VDI deployments with limited IT resources
Single-vendor solution
Turnkey installation, can be done in less than an hour in some cases
Easy scalability
Hyperconvergence means deep changes to my IT staff.
Hyperconvergence doesn’t require less help, just a shift in focus and workload.
Hyperconvergence doesn’t necessarily doesn’t mean a new hire. It means leaning more heavily on existing infrastructure and network architect teams. They do most of the heavy lifting up front – once up and running less fine tuning and management is required. This means IT can spend time on more strategic tasks.
Hyperconvergence will dramatically drive up IT costs.
Hyperconvergence drops long-term IT costs dramatically, reducing everything from power bills to support costs.
While the upfront costs of hyperconvergence can be higher than non hyperconvergence solutions, most studies show a more dramatic reduction in CAPEX and OPEX over the long-term – with no wide scale rip and replace required.
Hyperconvergence means the end of SAN.
Even with hyperconvergence deployed, SAN still has a critical role in your evolving data center.
While hyperconvergence integrates storage needs for its workloads, organizations will still lean on SAN resources for additional capacity and in situations where hyperconvergence doesn’t make sense.
Hyperconvergence will create additional IT silos inside my data center.
Hyperconvergence delivers a unified data center platform that makes it easier to manage information governance.
While hyperconvergence builds infrastructure through large, modular blocks of integrated capacity, IT can still maintain a granular control of its information. hyperconvergence removes technical siloes while giving IT and decision-makers the confidence they need to tackle governance challenges.
Hyperconvergence is really best for VDI
Hyperconvergence is the right choice for lots of high-capacity compute program needs.
While the elasticity and reduced management costs make hyperconvergence an ideal platform software-defined desktop experience, its potential is much larger. It can bring the same responsive capacity and agile IT management to larger organization-wide workloads.
Hyperconvergence will lock into a particular vendor?
You can still build the data center solutions that fit your specific needs.
While hyperconvergence solutions are typically supplied by a single vendor, that doesn’t necessarily mean all interoperability is lost. Relying on open standards and protocols, hyperconvergence solutions don’t pose any more significant proprietary constraints than other solutions.
Lenovo and DataCore have created a storage solution that is able to harness the full potential of today's storage technology and provide the performance and SLAs needed for 'always-on' applications.
Use cases include retail back office and inventory, energy, government communications, defense systems and legal document management.
