Articles & Feature Stories By Elizabeth White  Businesses today generate billions of events or 100s of TBs of data in a month. These data contain valuable insights into customer behavior, key trends, buying patterns, etc. If these are successfully mined, they can lead to successful decision-making to maximize revenue and traffic for the business. Successfully driving a business is only partly about understanding what happened; the other part lies in knowing what’s going to happen next.
In order to use past data and predict future events, there needs to be sufficient technology that is not merely extrapolating events. Powerful machine learning algorithms in association with combinatorial and graph algorithms are imperative to make accurate predictions about future events based on cross-dimensional correlations within the data, time-event correlations and recognizing patterns that would not be identified or understood using standard ...

Answer: all are shortly to present breakout sessions as members of the distinguished Speaker Faculty of Cloud Expo New York, taking place June 11-14, 2012, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. May. 18, 2012 03:15 PM EDT Reads: 2,733 | By Maureen O'Gara  SilkRoad Technology, the aptly named competitor of, say, the up-and-coming Workday that peddles cloud-based social talent management solutions, has topped up its funding with another reportedly oversubscribed $35 million round.
That makes an incredible $162 million since 2003.
The latest money comes from new investors Keating Capital and NTT Finance along with existing investors Intel Capital, Crosslink Capital, Foundation Capital, Azure Capital and Tenaya Capital, among others. It’s supposed to support worldwide expansion and product innovation ahead of a potential IPO this year or next. May. 18, 2012 02:42 PM EDT Reads: 370 | By Pat Romanski  We are a part of a dynamically connected world where consumers are rapidly adopting new technology and dismantling business models in their wake. Disruption, unpredictability and variability happen without warning. The challenge for any organization is to evolve, to adopt new architectures and processes that increase business agility, scalability and governance/compliance and decrease risk. While cloud is complex, the consideration and adoption process can be simplified.
In his general session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Kevin Hanes, Executive Director, Dell Service & Solutions, will talk about a pragmatic approach to realizing the potential of cloud today while building a strong foundation for the future. May. 18, 2012 01:06 PM EDT Reads: 389 | By Maureen O'Gara  Facebook, which had jaundiced New Yorkers congregating in Times Square to see what would happen, opened a half-hour late Friday at around 11:30am at $42.05, up around 11%, hovered there briefly and then proceeded to drop back to its $38 IPO price within 20 minutes.
It then started to get a little support and, without going negative (yet), at noontime in New York the stock was trading at $39 and change.
Its execution leaves Linux Systems’ phenomenal record IPO rise untouched.
The open was reportedly delayed because of trouble canceling and changing orders and after the open the Nasdaq was having trouble delivering execution confirmations, which may be impacting the stock’s performance.
More broadly it’s a terrible day on Wall Street. May. 18, 2012 12:35 PM EDT Reads: 366 | By Pat Romanski  In this CTO Power Panel at the 10th International Cloud Expo, chaired by Jeremy Geelan, industry-leading CTOs & VPs of Technology will discuss such topics as:

Who should and shouldn’t be using a PaaS product today, and why?
Can a public cloud ever be truly secure?
How important is open source to cloud computing and Big Data?
"Mission-critical apps are now safe in the cloud." True or false?
In your company how important a component is mobility in your cloud thinking?
If we now have "elastic IT" does that mean you view yourself as an "elastic CTO"??? May. 18, 2012 11:30 AM EDT Reads: 811 | By Maureen O'Gara  Citrix has acquired Virtual Computer, a little Massachusetts outfit with enterprise-scale management solutions for client-side virtualization.
It means to combine the acquisition’s NxTop widgetry with its XenClient hypervisor to create a new Citrix XenClient Enterprise edition that can manage “large fleets” of corporate laptops across a distributed enterprise and give users a virtual desktop “to go.”
It’s due this quarter as a standalone product at a reported $175 a user.
Citrix said it’s getting the management piece faster by buying it.
Virtual Computer has historically focused on solutions for Xen-based client hypervisors. Its technology includes backup, disaster recovery, provisioning, security and monitoring capabilities. The merger also promises greater integration between XenClient and XenDesktop.

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it.

Reads: 32,682  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.

These tools, which are designed to help organizations turn big data into opportunities, are gaining deeper insight into massive volumes of information. A recent Gartner report predicts that enterprise data will increase by 650% over the next five years, which means that the time is now for IT decision makers to determine which big data tools are the best - and most cost-effective - for their organization.

May. 18, 2012 02:00 PM EDT Reads: 701 | By Dustin Amrhein  Rapid deployment capability is table stakes when we are talking about a PaaS solution. Every vendor touts it, and to be frank, every user simply expects it to be there. While I think it is interesting to talk about rapid deployment and perhaps compare speed of one solution to that of another, I thin... May. 18, 2012 10:00 AM EDT Reads: 655 | By Lori MacVittie  It’s really easy to quantify some of the costs associated with a security breach.

Lots of people continue to perpetuate the idea that the AWS APIs are a de facto standard, so we should just all move on about it.

These concerns are well-founded but the benef... May. 17, 2012 02:00 PM EDT Reads: 573 | By Don MacVittie 
Throughout history there has been a cycle that ebbs and flows where new technology makes production more efficient and reduces the need for manpower in a particular space, thus forcing those in charge into the difficult position of deciding who stays and who goes.
