As an added benefit, Virtacore is offering additional virtual machine resources to customers who take advantage of the service. These virtual machine resources can be deployed quickly and provide IT managers with rapid access to their file, database, application and web servers. This is ideal for customers seeking a hybrid cloud solution as part of their disaster recovery plan.

“We feel like this is a win-win for customers. They get one of the best storage devices on the market from Nimble and the ability to replicate directly to our cloud,” said George Naspo, the CEO of Virtacore. “This, coupled with the fact that customers can also take full advantage of our disaster recovery services, creates a strong value proposition in the storage market.”

The IoT enables a world where devices, data and places are interconnected with applications and users over the internet. The results are connected products that transform how people discover, interact and experience the physical world. From improving patient care to increasing energy efficiency, automating buildings, understanding environmental changes or helping understand our own heath, the use cases are limitless. All of this is made possible through a class of small, inexpensive yet powerful processors, ubiquitous connectivity, mobile computing and interaction platforms. The IoT market, predicted to generate up to $14.4 trillion by 2020 (Cisco 2013), has captured the imagination of businesses and consumers worldwide.

Just as Apple and Android evolved the mobile market, Xively has created a platform that simplifies the creation and speeds time to market for powerful connected products on the internet of things, built by anyone, without requiring millions of dollars and teams of developers. The result is the beginning of a 21st century industrial revolution through connected products that can drive serious revenues for lots of companies or individuals.

But if there is one thing technology junkies love even more than the idea of changing the world, it’s doing it with less work. We only want to do the minimal amount of work it takes to accomplish our goal, and that’s not a bad thing.

When Larry Wall, the author of the Perl programming language, spouted the three virtues of a programmer, “laziness” took the lead spot. And while he was certainly playing coy (the other two are “impatience” and “hubris”), he was simply reiterating Archimedes’ larger argument: Work efficiently.

Now, what the right tool is . . . that’s the hard part.

The ocean of web development that I wade through daily is full of purported tools. Some remind me of this ridiculous breakfast sandwich maker. The picture on the box looks fantastic, but there’s no possible way operating that contraption is more efficient than just making an egg sandwich. Rare others are simple and beautiful and genuinely applify my output.

That’s what we’re working on every day at Moovweb: being the tool that allows businesses to leverage their existing desktop sites, to create the mobile experiences that they need. We amplify the features, content and business logic by extending their business beyond the constraints of the desktop, to phones and tablets.

Most of our corporate websites have been built and secured through a decade of such decisions. And we have the infrastructure to prove it. We have, by now, layers of security to protect the website against threats of the past (remember SQL injection), present and — one can hope at least — future. Web security is getting better. Wonky studies find vulnerabilities in business websites are now down to their lowest level ever, dropping 30 percent in the past year. And down 95 percent since 2007. The desktop web is, at long last, the most secure part of the public-facing internet.

Enter, of late, mobile devices. (And tablets, and a whole bag of cool new gadgets. And those awful Google glasses.) For each, apps all around.

Business mobile apps and sites are not very useful without business data. The problem, of course, is that the company data is stored in a swath of database server tables spread across . . . read more . . .

He shares his recommendations using use cases of both public and private cloud deployments. Two examples he shares are BevMo! and Meredith.

BevMo!, a large West Coast retailer, built an integrated and managed data warehouse in the public cloud using Teradata Cloud Services. By accessing analytics hardware, software, managed services and customer services in the cloud, BevMo! was able to get flexible, secure and scalable analytics on a subscription basis.

BevMo! runs advanced analytic for things like SKU management, regulatory compliance, invoice error reduction and sophisticated pricing analytics that involve product, cost, location and other variables.

Meanwhile, media giant Meredith turned to Teradata for a private cloud solution to leverage its sizable data assets. For the publisher of major brands like Better Homes and Gardens, the private cloud delivers immediate and relevant messaging to consumers in near real-time. This has helped the company improve reach and reduce subscriber loss. Meredith can now run 600 campaigns a month instead of 300, and the company has slashed segment analysis time from 24 hours to less than one.

In this webinar, our panel will address these questions:

• What abandonment risks are unique to mobile applications?
• What kinds of application, network and system information can businesses gather?
• What are the privacy and regulatory concerns of gathering such information?
• How should application developers use customer data to prioritize improvements and outreach?
• Can developers use mobile data to address risks before they become problems?

Speakers include:

• Mike Wolf, chief analyst, NextMarket Insights; analyst, GigaOM Research

Organizations tend to put focus on corralling data and disregard the importance of looking beyond the data. It’s critical to examine who has access to what and the parameters of the user’s role within the organization. By focusing on data alone, organizations run the risk of missing key factors that could affect data governance and lead to regulatory exposure and security holes.

Regardless of whether an organization is global or operates solely within a community, data governance must be able to satisfy compliance requirements and prevent security threats. It’s important to view access governance through the lens of connected security in order to have the full picture of access across the organization. Not only will a connected security approach help the organization maintain global compliance, it will help implement a full life cycle strategy for proactively detecting and mitigating security threats — both from inside and outside  the organization.

Dell Software’s Quest One Data Governance Edition — Classification Module enables organizations to look beyond the data by leveraging connected security. Make connected security the basis for your data access governance, and the whole picture will always be visible.

A PaaS solution should give you the flexibility to leverage the languages, services and middleware that are most appropriate for each application that is built and deployed to the PaaS. And these may vary from application to application.

In today’s open hybrid cloud world this becomes even more important. Cloud applications need to be inherently stateless, service-oriented, distributed and portable. The PaaS should facilitate this architecture with ease. In addition, choice of deployment model and choice of infrastructure (whether bare metal, virtualization, private cloud, public cloud or even hybrid cloud) are key to a composable PaaS environment.

In this webinar, key industry experts will discuss the importance of portability and of having options within your PaaS technology, including the ability to mix and match the technologies that are right for a specific application, as well as the ability to expand on capabilities now and into the future.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Best practices around development workflows using PaaS
• The trade-offs of leveraging technology as “pluggable” components
• The path to success with PaaS, leveraging multi-language options
• Best practices in using a hybrid cloud architecture using PaaS
• The importance of open-source languages in your PaaS

Our speaker lineup:

• David Linthicum, SVP, Cloud Technology Partners; analyst, GigaOM Research

• Mike Kavis, chief technologist, Kavis Technology Consulting

• Joe McKendrick, president and principal analyst, McKendrick & Associates

• Gordon Haff, senior Cloud Strategy Marketing and Evangelism manager, Red Hat
