Face it, we no longer have downtime - on a train, in a coffee shop, on an
airplane everyone is frantically responding to calls and emails from their
crackberry's, Palm's or Iphone's. Companies embrace the mobile device
figuring they are getting greater productivity from their workforce.
However it seems the Mobile is the Achilles heel as far as security for the
organisation goes.
A Recent study on enterprise mobility by MFormation ound that almost 90% of
(200 polled) organisations had no process for the tracking of data stored on
mobile devices. As well as this 40% were unable to match mobile devices to
the correct employee who used it.
Not surprisingly 78% are concerned about mobile data security with 55%
believing that data loss through mobile will be a "significant issue".

When the iPhone App Store launched last year, a flood of ‘virtual’ music
apps, ranging from pianos to drums hit the market. Most of these didn’t
fare so well on the iPhone’s small screen, save for one fantastic standout:
Smule’s Ocarina, which was perfectly suited for the iPhone and was fairly
easy for beginners to pick up. The app became a massive success, and became
one of the App Store’s most popular applications ever. Today, Smule has
released Leaf Trombone: World Stage, a new virtual musical instrument that is
better than Ocarina in nearly every way.
One of the biggest issues newbies had with Ocarina was that there was no
musical instruction built in - users would have to visit Smule’s website,
where they could download ‘tabs’ of their favorite songs. Without the
tabs, playing familiar tunes became an exercise in frustration, and I suspect
many users never ma... (more)
I had the opportunity to spend some time recently with Asure Software's VP/GM
of EMEA and APAC, Nigel Clarke, and to discuss how digital transformation is
impacting work spaces and the mobile workforce. In years past I attended
facility management conferences and developed mobile apps to help manage
facilities, assets, rooms, inspections, materials and supplies. We were
counting and inspecting physical objects. Today, however, there are digital
transformations taking place in this industry.
Today, companies less often require employees to work in the physical office
(sorry folks at Yahoo!). Often equipment is not associated with a location,
but moves to where it is needed at any given time. When people do come into
the office there is a need to find a desk, conference room, video or
projection equipment and to use additional services to ensure their use of

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND and PLEASANTON, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/25/07 --
When cellular phone users from the USA travel abroad, they often face
unpleasant hurdles. One of the most frustrating is when trying to dial a
number stored in their phone's address book, only to find it won't work
because the stored number isn't recognized by the foreign cellular phone
system.
The problem exists because most countries use different dialing conventions,
such as the international prefix ("011" in the US), regional codes, and
phantom digits that sometimes need to be dialled, but sometimes not. A
typical cellphone speed-dial entry like "212-555-1212" would be nonsensical
to any phone system outside America. Thus, the US traveller cannot easily
dial back to the home office, nor to local contacts in the destination
country. This problem is exacerbated because people are storing m... (more)

CloudEXPO Stories By Zakia Bouachraoui  In a recent survey, Sumo Logic surveyed 1,500 customers who employ cloud services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). According to the survey, a quarter of the respondents have already deployed Docker containers and nearly as many (23 percent) are employing the AWS Lambda serverless computing framework.
It's clear: serverless is here to stay. The adoption does come with some needed changes, within both application development and operations. That means serverless is also changing the way we leverage public clouds. Truth-be-told, many enterprise IT shops were so happy to get out of the management of physical servers within a data center that many limitations of the existing public IaaS clouds were forgiven. However, now that we've lived a few years with public IaaS clouds, developers and CloudOps pros are giving a huge thumbs down to the... Feb. 23, 2019 03:00 PM EST | By Liz McMillan  Kubernetes is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes was originally built by Google, leveraging years of experience with managing container workloads, and is now a Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) project. Kubernetes has been widely adopted by the community, supported on all major public and private cloud providers, and is gaining rapid adoption in enterprises. However, Kubernetes may seem intimidating and complex to learn. This is because Kubernetes is more of a toolset than a ready solution. Hence it’s essential to know when and how to apply the appropriate Kubernetes constructs. Feb. 23, 2019 03:00 PM EST Reads: 6,582 | By Zakia Bouachraoui  To enable their developers, ensure SLAs and increase IT efficiency, Enterprise IT is moving towards a unified, centralized approach for managing their hybrid infrastructure. As if the journey to the cloud - private and public - was not difficult enough, the need to support modern technologies such as Containers and Serverless applications further complicates matters. This talk covers key patterns and lessons learned from large organizations for architecting your hybrid cloud in a way that:
Supports self-service, "public cloud" experience for your developers that's consistent across any infrastructure.
Gives Ops peace of mind with automated management of DR, scaling, provisioning, deployments, etc. Feb. 23, 2019 02:45 PM EST | By Liz McMillan  xMatters helps enterprises prevent, manage and resolve IT incidents. xMatters industry-leading Service Availability platform prevents IT issues from becoming big business problems.

Feb. 23, 2019 02:30 PM EST | By Yeshim Deniz  As you know, enterprise IT conversation over the past year have often centered upon the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system. In fact, Kubernetes has emerged as the key technology -- and even primary platform -- of cloud migrations for a wide variety of organizations.
Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility. Feb. 23, 2019 01:00 PM EST |

IT professionals are also embracing the reality of Serverless architectures, which are critical to developing and operating real-time applications and services. Serverless is particularly important as enterprises of all sizes develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.
Serverless and Kubernetes are great examples of continuous, rapid pace of change in enterprise IT. They also raise a number of critical issues and questions about employee training, development processes, and operational metrics.
There's a real need for serious conversations about Serverless and Kubernetes am...

Technology has changed tremendously in the last 20 years. From onion architectures to APIs to microservices to cloud and containers, the technology artifacts shipped by teams has changed. And that's not all - roles have changed too. Functional silos have been replaced by cross-functional teams, the skill sets people need to have has been redefined and the tools and approaches for how software is developed and delivered has transformed. When we move from highly defined rigid roles and systems to more fluid ones, we gain agility at the cost of control. But where do we want to keep control? How d...
