Moving Your IT to the Cloud
An enterprise cloud strategy provides a framework for selecting cloud providers and balancing public and private cloud approaches. It transforms the data center into a private cloud for workloads that cannot move to public clouds due to regulatory or technical constraints. The strategy also integrates public and private clouds by developing a cloud management platform to track usage and workloads across clouds. Developing an enterprise cloud strategy requires determining which applications are suitable for each cloud option, addressing infrastructure decisions, and planning ongoing operations and management of the hybrid cloud environment.

In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

OVERALLCloud technology can be fully integrated with open strategies, usually less costly and more customizable. Cloud Computing makes it easier to migrate since my business does no longer need to own infrastructure and applications.INFRASTRUCTUREVirtual partition of resources allows for redundant resources (safer than the non-cloud model, where a single resource is normally available). Uninterrupted service is best assured through cloud infrastructure (reliability).Scalability can be done easily within a cloud infrastructure (e.g.: if my business gets a sudden increase of customer orders, I can cope with those in a cloud environment by asking for an immediate increase of processing speed and/or space disk). Therefore cloud technology provides flexibility to businesses.PLATFORMResources owned and residing at supplier’s platform (e.g.: Google Maps) are utilized by businesses by means of APIs. APIs are used to “call” those resources.SOFTWARE- Mature applications are used by my business with ample choices of customization offered by the provider. Software upgrades are automatically incorporated into my business (subscriber of the cloud), normally reducing the overall cost of licenses and ensuring standardization of my business with the external environment (my business suppliers and customers). Examples: file storage system, calendar.
Is Cloud Computing disrupting the IT industry?Is it really changing the way the IT industry, the way we work , and is it here to stay? Or it is a simply a logical evolution enabled by innovation and the Internet. No– Cloud Computing is most definitely disruptive so what does it change?First of all, pricing –whereas before Cloud computing you would have to invest in IT infrastructure of which you probably only use 30%, now you have to pay only for what you useIt also changes the value chains and industry players, established companies like Cisco, Rackspace orOracle not face competition from the likes of Google and Amazon. Amazon now makes more money from it cloud compute platforms than from retailing.And some people are worried too, tech departments loose direct control over in-house system. This changes their job or worse, makes it obsolete.Cloud changes the way we can do business, by allowing staff to access company resources from anywhere and any device leads to increased productivity and efficiency that didn’t exist previously. And It changes the way we plan and develop our business; we are no longer limited by the need for huge IT investments and/or the limits of our existing systems, with Cloud Computing, our platform becomes scalable on demand.And lastly, Cloud shift the power, at least partly, back to us, the client, as we are no longer locked into to one platform and long terms contracts, it is a lot easier to switch cloud provider than it is to change platform or even outsource provider. Software is now a service rather than a long term investment decision
It is amazing how fast our behavior on internet has changed only the last couple of years because of cloud technology. The personal computer is now only a small part of a package of devices that most of us use in our everyday life. These devices such as smartphones, tablets, home computers and lap tops are synchronized through the cloud - and during day we may use dropbox for document access, gmail, spotify for music and Facebook, twitter etc. When we are at a restaurant our «friends» will know it immediately. The shearing potential is huge, and information can go viral. Most importantly this also gives a LOT of consumer POWER. Very quickly we can inform the world about bad service and good service as well as our opinion about products, hotels, restaurants etc. All interest groups such as environmental groups and animal protection groups do also have more channels to spread their communication. This leads us to the next question......What does cloud computing means for businesses?
Why is it the perfect answer for businesses? Except for the youngest of us we do all remember the very hot rooms with the data servers using a lot of energy and space, and how often didn´t we have server problems? With the new cloud technology businesses can outsource storage and maintenance. In addition to capacity issues cloud computing allow us to access working tools more easy also when traveling. The sales force in our company (Merck Animal Health) for instance is in heaven now compared to before. Not only can they chat with each other at all times and share information very efficiently using the Sales force. com. But also after customer meetings they can write reports and follow up actions immediately (for instance while waiting for the ferry or when taking a bit on the road). They do not have to upload to the server when back – this saves a lot of time and energy and gives more time with friends and family. The businesses that adapts most efficiently to the new technology will have a competitive advantage. If done correctly it means money saved, but if done incorrectly it could damage the business and then it means looking for a new job.It is a fact that the younger generation often is the pioneers in changing from traditional work tools to cloud based solutions. They bring the consumer mentality and habits into the working place and ask themselves; Why do we struggle with these old fashion tools when the technology offers so much more.Also all companies today needs to have a social media strategy. If they chose not to be there, they at least have to have a strategy on how to respond if the consumers write about them.It is now cheaper than ever to start a new service, and easier than ever to scale it.However, there is a difference between the consumer cloud and the business cloud mainly when it comes to what access to give on different levels. Sometimes only a limited team should have access to data, sometimes it is ok for the whole organization and even for business partners. We are for instance building a database together with our customers so they will have access to their specific data but of course not to other customer’s data. This is a powerful tool that adds a lot of value for the end user but there are some challenges in administering this – for instance; how do we keep track of the customer employees with access when they swop jobs. Business cloud systems offer a platform where they can deliver services or infrastructure to people on a more dynamic basis.
Why move to the Cloud?First of all, it will most certainlyreduce costsThen there is the advantage of availability – it is no longer your responsibility, saving you a lot of head-aches and weekend callsFurthermore Cloud Computing, as we have seen previously, increases staff mobilityThis mobility increase will undoubtedly lead to an increase in productivityCloud service are expandable so offering you the flexibility of only paying for what you use and making your IT platform easily scalable - and because there are no heavy upfront investments you are not tied into long-term contracts which allows for switching provides should you not be satisfied with the service you receive.It is quick to get up and running with Cloud, no you don’t have to do any lengthy installations yourself.Not to forget about competition; imagine they make the move and it pays off? You wouldn’t want to be left behind, would you?Finally, as with a lot of novel technologies, there will be many unanticipated benefits we do not yet know about But there are grey clouds also so Why would you not make the move?Most company’s IT infrastructure is a mixture of different systems and the Cloud will involve some tough decision making regarding consolidation and standardization – decisions that many a CIO would love to avoid….
So you have decided to join the bandwagon and make the move! Now what?This should be a CEO-led initiative, the IT department will most likely be too occupied maintaining current platforms and afraid to loose control, so too biased and inclined to keep the status quo(2) Once you have buy-in and before moving on, analyze costs of cloud versus in-house to estimate cost savings, if any; (3) Then check laws and regulation whether you are actually allowed to move data to the cloud; the cloud may not be suitable for storage of some data (e.g.: high sensitivity from the privacy point of view).4) Start experimenting with Cloud Apps, like for example Google Apps, that won’t disturb or endanger your current business and processes – once successful, you can consider doing your next software development project in the Cloud. Your developers will be amazed how much time they save not having to worry about infrastructure and platform6) Choose the right Cloud provider, this is at least as big a project as selecting say the ideal ERP providers but its worth a thorough comparison; e.g. what back-up do they have in case of a service interruption. What about security?7) Last but not least, your company will need to make sure its bandwidth and network equipment is sufficient to cope with cloud computing.All checked – ready to go!
