Storage steps into the intelligent era as AWS expands its storage portfolio
If you want a history of cloud computing, Amazon Web Services Inc. is the place to start. From the very first cloud storage service to today’s storage that supports new intelligent workloads, AWS has been the company to watch for developments in cloud storage. And the place to go for the latest AWS storage news ...
How Kubernetes Operators are simplifying life for data scientists
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are critical tools for today’s data scientists to master. Because these new technologies add complexity to what is already a complicated workload, they can take up valuable time and distract focus from the main goal of extracting knowledge from data. “We’re working towards reducing that complexity and making sure that people that ...
Designing security for an open-source, containerized, cloud-native world
Data security is the big issue facing enterprise today. Forget fancy social media campaigns, customer loyalty, and sales figures. One data breach can damage brand reputation in minutes, and trust takes years to rebuild. Cloud computing and open-source development have made traditionally security measures, such as firewalls and gateways, obsolete. And the multitudes of connected ...
Stateful and stateless workloads come together under a single pane of glass
Adopting a hybrid approach to cloud storage solves the problems associated with pure public-cloud strategies; allowing companies to choose where data is stored — in an on-premises database or in the cloud — dependent on each workload’s specific needs. But while there are huge benefits to the hybrid model, management across disparate environments can become ...

Amazon’s new storage chapter eyes NFS support, integrates from the top-down
When Amazon Web Services Inc. pioneered infrastructure as a service in 2006, few people foresaw the global impact it would have. Yet as IaaS was joined by platform as a service and software as a service, it heralded the start of the modern cloud-computing era. Thirteen years later, cloud computing is changing more than just the ...

Quit focusing on Kubernetes and just build smart apps, says Iguazio CTO
The fortunes of modern businesses ride on the ability to adapt to a digitally driven world. Waves of technology come and go. Some solutions stick. Others die by the roadside. In this fast-paced environment, the ability to predict the next big thing is key to gaining an advantage over the competition. “What everyone used to ...
Q&A: Telcos collaborate to showcase 5G, cloud-native networking in action
Connectivity is essential in the modern world. But like other important infrastructure, the networking that makes communication simple is hidden behind the scenes. In a recent demonstration of cutting-edge network technology, a group of volunteers from the telecommunications industry created an end-to-end, 5G, cloud-native network live on the stage at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon event in San Diego, ...
Cisco wants to solve the DevOps skills gap with Lego-style coding
The skills gap is just another complication of doing business in today’s digital age. Application programming interfaces are the essential links that make online business possible. Yet, experienced software developers are a rare commodity. Those that are available demand high salaries and flexible work conditions that mid-level and small companies are pushed to provide. So, what can ...

It’s complicated: What does betrayal of trust say about how companies value customer relationships?
Trust in what companies do with personal data is plummeting. Yesterday’s announcement that Google LLC has been secretly mining health data is just the latest in a series of revelations that have far-reaching implications for the future. But the issue goes deeper than just data. From Facebook Inc. to Volkswagen AG, and Boeing Co. to Theranos Inc., ...

Machine-learning scientist cautions against ill-considered AI deployments
The complexity of artificial intelligence goes beyond technical wizardry. Man may have created statistical models that emulate human thought processes, but are we qualified to deploy them in real life? Unrepresentative and flawed data sets skew results. Companies are begging for qualified data scientists; yet students graduating with specialized degrees often aren’t prepared for real-life ...
