Actionable Data: Mastering the Hybrid Analytics MixPerficient, Inc.
With an increase in the adoption of cloud applications, most organizations today are in some form of hybrid state (i.e. using a combination of on-premise and cloud applications to run their business). Regardless of where the data resides, you need a complete view of the company spanning across different parts of the business, combining insightful data across both onsite and public cloud instances.
In this webinar, we looked at multiple approaches that organizations have successfully used to consolidate data from multiple cloud and on-premise applications and to perform seamless analytics across these varied data sources.

Planning and Preparing for Windows Server 2003 End-of-LifePerficient, Inc.
Windows Server 2003 reaches “end-of-life” in mid-2015, and Microsoft will no longer provide patches or security updates for the operating system. Given the rate at which new security threats are introduced, it is extremely dangerous to run production services on a platform that has reached end of support.
If you are still running Windows Server 2003, you aren’t alone. For organizations considering a migration, now is the time to start a thorough analysis of each Windows Server 2003 system, including the native and third-party software workloads.
Experts from Perficient, AppZero and Cisco discussed the options and paths available when moving off Windows Server 2003, including:
-Virtualization Hyper-V on Cisco UCS
-Transitioning to a cloud model – private, public and hybrid
-What AppZero can do for your migrations
-Capabilities and benefits of Windows Server 2012
The most important thing is to get started now! Without proper analysis and migration planning, IT departments will find themselves lacking the time to move mission-critical applications to a supported operating system.

Do you spend hours each month searching for, and not always finding, the document or information you need to do your job? These are often not just ‘would-like-to-have’ files, but rather those that you actually need to complete your work.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Our Speaker
7. • The Traditional DW
• DW Stressors
• A Modern Alternative
• New Capabilities
Agenda
8. The Traditional DW - Defined
• Server and DBMS
• Methodology for loading data (ETL vs. ELT)
• “clean stage vs. dirty stage”
• Methodology for storing data (Kimball vs. Inmon)
• DW vs. DM
9. The Traditional DW - Defined
• Methodology for archiving data (never)
• ODS + DW = HUB
• “Historical and non-volatile”…
• What is history?
“I think… I am history
therefore… I’m history?”
10. The Traditional DW - Architectures
Logical Architecture – Mostly concerned about the
representation of data back to the end user. Included
abstraction/semantic layers, methods of access, etc.
Physical Architecture – Mostly concerned about the
storage and structuring of data. Included indexing (or
not) plans, schemas for security, auditing for data, etc.
However, the general consensus is that the DW is one
platform that serves a primary workload.
- “Reporting and analytics”
- Schema driven
- Dimensional aspect to it
- “One repository of truth”
11. Stressors to the Traditional DW
“… data warehousing has reached the most
significant tipping point since its inception. The
biggest, possible most elaborate data
management system in IT is changing. “
- Gartner, “The State of Data Warehousing in 2012”
12. Stressors to the Traditional DW
- TDWI, “Evolving Data Warehouse Architectures in the Age of Big Data Analytics”, 2014
21. Check Point
How does this affect our ‘traditional’ DW approach?
• Original work load is still covered
• Staging, ETL, schema based repository
• Original version of the truth is still in place
• No need to rip and replace
• New work load capabilities have been added
• Staging / archiving has been expanded
• ETL has more capacity
• Multi-schema based analysis is available
• The EDW is becoming a hybrid analytic platform
