Multitenant, Dedicated or Hybrid - Which cloud to choose?RapidScale
With the increased consideration of the cloud, many organizations are deciding how to best integrate it into their business.
There are three main forms of cloud computing: public, private and hybrid. When considering the move, you shouldn’t just pick one of these at random. The choice should be strategic, based on the characteristics of your business. Each cloud model is best suited for certain types of organizations and needs, so picking the wrong one could backfire.
RapidScale is an industry-leading company in the delivery, design, and support of Microsoft Exchange. Our Service Level Agreement on CloudMail is 100% uptime and all support is U.S. based as we take pride in providing world-class service.
Microsoft Exchange introduces built-in integrated email archiving, retention, and discovery capabilities that save costs and simplify the process of preserving business communications. RapidScale’s Hosted Exchange solution delivers on the capabilities demanded by mobile workforces. Access your business email, calendar and contacts on your desktop, laptop, smartphone, and Web browser so it can always go where you go. With Exchange, you will remain in control of your solution by tailoring it to your specific needs and ensuring that your communications are always available.
Microsoft Exchange 2010 combines built in anti-spam and encryption technologies with an advanced anti-virus infrastructure for efficient management of a wide range of security threats. You will see a high standard of physical and digital security for your data as it receives reliable monitoring and support from our team.
We guarantee 24x7x365 uptime and provide 100% US-based support to our clients. Our Cloud Engineers and Sr. Cloud Consultants are all internal employees and are dedicated to providing you with first-class support. You will have a dedicated Sr. Cloud Consultant to oversee your account specifically and assist with the transition.
Outlook Web App in Microsoft Exchange helps users be more efficient and productive across platforms and locations by giving them access to email, voice mail, instant messaging, SMS text messages, and more inside all popular browsers. Reduce complexity for your users and instead, offer secure access for multiple approved applications.
Our pay-as-you go plan is affordable and will help to remove the budgeting burden as well as hardware acquisition costs. Benefit from the latest version of Microsoft Exchange, and receive the latest software and security updates. With CloudMail, you will save short- and long-term costs while receiving superior support. This is how RapidScale’s CloudMail differs from its competitors.
While email is critical to your business, managing your Exchange server in-house can be expensive, time consuming, and full of hassles. Working with an external service provider can help you eliminate those headaches and take advantage of the full functionality of your Microsoft Hosted Exchange server.
Our CloudMail product set is built on our high performance fully redundant physical hardware platform just like the rest of our products sets. Uniformity between hardware and data centers ensures consistency across the board, eliminating the possibility of asymmetrical performance and simplifying diagnostics. For storage, we run NetApp controllers and storage shelves, Cisco UCS blade chassis for compute, and Cisco Nexus routers for core routing.
RapidScale's CloudRecovery service is about planning and designing your business’ Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) around each application. We provide cost effective high density and low density storage and complete Disaster Recovery as a Service solutions for automatic failover.
Disaster Recovery as a Service works by first securely safeguarding your data in our Cloud. Our recovery and de-duplication testing allows us to have the fastest Recovery Time Objective (RTO) in the industry, Our Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity solutions will secure your business data and ensure minimal downtime in the event of a disaster. Keep your business applications and data safe and accessible at all times with RapidScale's CloudRecovery.
RapidScale's Tier 3, Class 1 data centers feature on-premises security guards, an exterior security system, biometric systems, and continuous digital surveillance and recording. We meet and exceed standards such as HIPAA, PCI compliance, and the majority of other government security standards.
Replication to cloud virtual machines can be used to protect both cloud and on-premises production instances. In other words, replication is suitable for both cloud-VM-to-cloud-VM and on-premises-to-cloud-VM data protection. For applications that require aggressive RTO and recovery point objectives (RPOs), as well as application awareness, replication is the data movement option of choice.
Traditional disaster recovery solutions are expensive and inefficient. With the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry, you do not need to let a low budget get in the way of safeguarding and recovering your data. You do not have to be an enterprise-size business to receive the cloud’s protection effectively.
RapidScale helps to eliminate upfront costs while saving money on pricey equipment and maintenance with CloudRecovery. With our pay-as-you-go plan, pay for what you use and experience a service that is scalable according to your needs.
RapidScale's CloudIntelligence team will listen to your business needs and design the right Disaster Recovery as a Service plan for your business. RapidScale offers a 100% uptime guarantee.

Cloud Computing Stats - Cloud in the EnterpriseRapidScale
Individuals and small businesses have been quick to board the cloud computing train. Enterprises, on the other hand, have lagged a bit behind. However, it seems that big businesses are finally finding their way to the cloud.
Here are some statistics about cloud in the enterprise today.
Scalability is one of the most popular and beneficial features of cloud computing.
When you move scaling into the cloud, you experience an enormous amount of flexibility that saves both money and time. When demand changes based on season, projects or growth, it’s easy to accommodate the new load. As things level out again, you can scale down accordingly.
Learn about the different types of scaling in the cloud.

Your servers, our Cloud, the best service in the industry. RapidScale gives you on-demand capacity with the best infrastructure tools and utilities in the industry.
The goal of CloudServer is to provide a flexible, standardized and virtualized operating environment that allows applications to perform at their peak without downtime. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) abstracts hardware (server, storage and network infrastructure) into a pool of computing, storage and connectivity capabilities that are delivered as services for a usage-based (metered) cost. Leveraging our infrastructure allows you to operate like an enterprise-level organization, no matter what size you are.
With CloudServer, you will also receive the benefits of Disaster Recovery. There are a myriad of ways to lose equipment and data, whether it is fire, theft or malfunctioning sprinklers. RapidScale’s CloudServer houses your data in secure Tier 3, Class 1 data centers that are mirrored and securely backed up. This gives your services the ability to be quickly back on-line and running smoothly in the event of a disaster. Our infrastructure resides in multiple data centers so clients can be assured that their business critical applications and data will be fully redundant in a different data center, making it easier to resume business as usual.
CloudServer has a pay-as-you-go model which allows you to scale up or down depending on your needs. Quickly seize new opportunities and get projects up and running with the scalability of our solution. When it comes to pricey hardware, you can save a lot by using our infrastructure and buying only what you use. With IaaS, eliminate the many negative aspects of IT expansion, especially issues with in-house infrastructure, while still receiving the processing power and storage space that you need to run.
CloudServer is based off of enterprise-class infrastructure at a fraction of the costs with 24x7x365 friendly and reliable support. We care about your business’ uptime objectives and security, which is why RapidScale has worked hard to become a leader in CloudServer. With your applications built into a private cloud environment that includes encryption, firewalls and advanced around-the-clock monitoring, they will remain safe and secure. Operate worry-free, knowing that you always have RapidScale’s support.
With your infrastructure hosted off-site, you free up your IT staff to focus on value-added tasks, such as planning and development, instead of running around patching machines and fixing bugs. Reduce risk, eliminate headaches and save money with CloudServer.
Cloud computing can probably make the biggest impact in the SMB segment. Why? Because traditionally, these businesses haven’t been able to afford the same services and resources that large companies use, limiting their capabilities. Now, thanks to the cloud, businesses of all sizes can take advantage of world-class IT resources.
Here are some statistics about how cloud is benefitting SMBs today.

La Inteligencia Artificial (IA) está de moda y todas las organizaciones corren para tratar de ser parte de esta revolución.
¡El problema es que la carrera es cuesta arriba!
¿Tienes los datos correctos? ¿Están bien catalogados? ¿Tienes las habilidades profesionales correctas? ¿Tienes los procesos de negocio listos? ¿Puede toda tu organización participar de éstos proyectos, o sólo están reservados para unos pocos privilegiados?
En una sólida estrategia de IA hay un componente, acaso el más importante, que habitualmente ignoramos. De hecho, este componente tiene el efecto de aplanar la curva de Tiempo/Valor. En un mundo de asistentes virtuales, redes neuronales, y más... la INFRAESTRUCTURA importa más que nunca. No sólo desde el punto de vista del hardware sino en un sentido más holístico... como un conjunto de marcos teóricos, instrumentación y funcionalidades.
En esta presentación vamos a hablar acerca de cómo los proyectos de IA (Inteligencia Artificial) obtienen enormes beneficios al definir una AI (Arquitectura de la Información) que los acompañe.
¿Como evitamos otro invierno de Inteligencia Artificial?
En IBM Cognitive Systems creemos que para evitar un nuevo invierno de la IA no solo basta con las disponibilidad de la tecnología de procesamiento, la abundancia de los datos gracias al fenómeno de Big Data y el furor de la academía por las redes neuronales. Creemos que las organizaciones deben generar valor con estas tecnologías. Con eso en mente en esta sesión comentamos como estos 4 pilares se vuelven una realidad con nuestra oferta para Inteligencia Artificial Corporativa:
- Diálogo y Colaboración entre LoB, Ciencia de Datos y IT.
- Código Abierto.
- Acceso y democratización para todos accedad a las tecnologías de IA para ayudar a construir evidencia para la toma de decisiones.

Inteligencia artificial - Quebrando el paradigma de la amnesia empresarialMarcos Quezada
Deep Learning (DL) es la sub-categoría dentro del Machine Learning que más crece y evoluciona en el campo de la Inteligencia Artificial (AI).
Deep Learning usa redes neuronales basadas en software para desarrollar patrones de análisis que permiten contar con una capacidad predictiva: En pocas palabras, Deep Learning es una plataforma que le permite aprender a aprender. Es la manera de sacar el mayor provecho de sus datos. Hoy las empresas deben aprovechar sus datos a la misma velocidad con la que los producen. Usando Deep Learning podemos desarrollar nuevas capacidades analíticas incluyendo:
- Visión artificial
- Detección de objetos
- Procesamiento de lenguaje natural
- Detección de anomalías y fraude
En el corazón de estos casos de uso hay capacidades sofisticadas de reconocimiento de patrones y clasificación, que dan lugar a aplicaciones revolucionarias y abren una ventana hacia el futuro.
En esta presentación les cuento cómo estamos llevando Deep Learning más allá de sus raíces basadas en frameworks open source y como la plataforma PowerAI le puede ayudar a su empresa a poner producción estas herramientas poderosas en ahora mismo.

Dime-Novel Genre Classifier: A Prototype Text-Mining ApplicationMarcos Quezada
Dime novels were inexpensive works of popular literature produced in the United States from 1860 through 1915. Founders Memorial Library at NIU holds over 50,000 dime novels in Rare Books and Special Collections. To date, the library has digitized 1,900 texts in these collections as part of an ongoing effort to make these documents of early popular culture freely available and openly accessible to contemporary readers and scholars. During the 2016 spring semester, our experiential learning team at NIU’s Digital Convergence Lab used a number of text-mining tools to uncover and analyze patterns in this digitized corpus. In this presentation, we will review our findings and offer suggestions for future text-mining research involving collaboration between scholars in computer science and the humanities.

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!
