Cloud computing is here to stay. On demand computing, self service, completely metered and easily scalable characteristics of cloud are very attractive and a breath of fresh air from the typical IT managed infrastructure. But adopting and moving to cloud has its own challenges. As a leader in online games, EA is stretching the boundaries of various hosting options including public and private cloud. Let us take you through the journey that details the process of comparing, contrasting, evaluating various providers, platforms and tools.
Recent economic pressures have resulted in increased requirements for the availability, scalability and efficiency of enterprise IT solutions.
Many parties claim that “cloud computing” can help enterprises meet the increased requirements of lower TCO, higher ROI, increased efficiency, dynamic provisioning and utility-like services.
However, many IT professionals are citing the increased risks associated with trusting information assets to the cloud as something that must be clearly understood and managed by relevant stakeholders.
This presentation examines the potential business benefits, risks and assurance considerations.

Cloud Myths and Realities: The Truth About Moving to the CloudEmbotics Corp.
Businesses are moving workloads to the cloud to enable new processes and unlock new value, promoting process efficiency, collaboration, and insight.
In this article, we discuss some of the myths surrounding the various cloud platforms, helping you to avoid the major pitfalls and prepare your IT organization for migration to a cloud infrastructure.
Swiftly increasing demand of computational
calculations in the process of business, transferring of files
under certain protocols and data centers force to develop an
emerging technology cater to the services for computational
need, highly manageable and secure storage. To fulfill these
technological desires cloud computing is the best answer by
introducing various sorts of service platforms in high
computational environment. Cloud computing is the most
recent paradigm promising to turn around the vision of
“computing utilities” into reality. The term “cloud
computing” is relatively new, there is no universal agreement
on this definition. In this paper, we go through with different
area of expertise of research and novelty in cloud computing
domain and its usefulness in the genre of management. Even
though the cloud computing provides many distinguished
features, it still has certain sorts of short comings amidst with
comparatively high cost for both private and public clouds. It
is the way of congregating amasses of information and
resources stored in personal computers and other gadgets
and further putting them on the public cloud for serving
users. Resource management in a cloud environment is a
hard problem, due to the scale of modern data centers, their
interdependencies along with the range of objectives of the
different actors in a cloud ecosystem. Cloud computing is
turning to be one of the most explosively expanding
technologies in the computing industry in this era. It
authorizes the users to transfer their data and computation to
remote location with minimal impact on system performance.
With the evolution of virtualization technology, cloud
computing has been emerged to be distributed systematically
or strategically on full basis. The idea of cloud computing has
not only restored the field of distributed systems but also
fundamentally changed how business utilizes computing
today. Resource management in cloud computing is in fact a
typical problem which is due to the scale of modern data
centers, the variety of resource types and their inter
dependencies, unpredictability of load along with the range of
objectives of the different actors in a cloud ecosystem.

Edge Computing is a paradigm that distributes computing and data storage between the Cloud and the users. In fact, the data center infrastructure that sits between you and the Cloud is actually larger than all the Cloud data centers combined. For over two decades, thanks to that Edge infrastructure you've been able to watch videos and smoothly surf the web. Today the "Edge" is powering all the automation around you; for example, smart cities, smart cars, smart factories, etc.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

We need this one polished and cleaned up so it’s not so busy.Speaker NotesThis is essentially the architecture of the solution that we are planning to build. There are several things that this tool will require to be in the fabric, such as Hyper-V, VMM, etc. The components within the dashed rectangle are the ones we are providing. We have a portal component to provide the admin, on boarding and self service functionalities. The self service portal has a set of predefined what we call virtual machine actions. For example, create VM. An action contains 1 or more tasks and a task is associated with a PS 2.0 scripts and its properties. The portal obtains configuration and store data on the db. We have a light weight engine which essentially host several core technologies such as WF and PS 2.0. The portal essentially make asynchronous requests to the engine and the engine will handle all of the batching, queuing and execution of the action. Now, from customer and partner’s point of view, our extensibility point is an XML file. It is within this XML that partner can configure the different tasks for different VM actions and also associate each task with specific PS script. The admin portion of the UI will have a basic authoring for the XML file. We need to have this to reduce error prone and to make it easier to bind script parameters so that they can be pass with the right runtime values during engine execution.
This one really needs to be cleaned up. I think we talked about this one yesterday as “the football play”. Customer 1 signs up using the on-boarding portal - submitting details about his/her organization (BUIT name, justification, Dept Code, etc)Once sign up request is approved by Admin, customer 1 can then use on-boarding portal to submit infrastructure request to request quota for Compute, Network and Storage resources to admin – i.e. CPU, Storage Size, Memory size, new network VLAN, etcAdmin would then need to validate availability of the physical resources capacity (using different resources provider UI/application – F5 UI, Compellent UI, etc) to determine whether appropriate resources are available – i.e, is new VLAN needed?, Does new LUN need to be created? New physical host need to be added?Once admin validates availability, he/she can then configure each of these resources using the different resources provider UI (VLAN creation, LUN creation, Host creation, etc)Once physical resources are available and configured, Admin uses Admin portal to allocate and associate proper resources boundary to Customer 1 (IP ranges 10.1.1.1 – 10.1.2.20, VLAN ID = 2048, Host group = ProductionHostGroup, etcOnce #5 is completed, Admin can then approve Customer 1’s infrastructure requestOnce the infra request is approved, Customer 1 can access SSP and hydrate their environment (using the predefined VM actions – i.e. create VM), within the provided resources boundary
