A New Chapter: “Cloud Musings en español”

$

0

Since May 2010, “Cloud Musings” has demonstrated, educated and celebrated the use of advanced technology in business. Specific subjects are sometimes varied, but cloud computing and cybersecurity seem to have become our sweet-spot. Over this period, information technology has transformed from a business support arm to being the core of just about every business model. Business transformation is also accelerating as social media and big data analytics take their place in the mix. We are also very proud to have had the opportunity to partner with industry leading companies like Dell, IBM, NASDAQ and Intel. A shortcoming, however, has been our failure to directly address non-native English speakers. Today we will start to address that issue by launching “Cloud Musings en español”.

So out of all the languages we could have picked why Spanish? The simple answer is that many of our Spanish native speakers have asked us to. We actually have a significant following in Spain, Mexico and across South America so this channel is a natural for us. Also, please don’t forget the large Spanish speaking population in the United States! We strive to continue enhancing our value so delivering advance information technology insight and marketplace observations in the native tongue of a large segment of our readers is more than appropriate and long overdue.

Since this launch is both professionally and personally important, I’ve asked my good friend Arturo Duránto supervise and guide the GovCloud Network Team in this effort. Arturo not only “walks the walk and talks the talk” (natively in Spanish), but he shares my passion around employing advanced information technology in accomplishing business and mission objectives.

At the start, “Cloud Musings en español” will publish translated versions of “Cloud Musings” content. We will also look to publish IT in business stories that originate in the Hispanic business world.  Cloud computing, cybersecurity and big data analytics for government and business will continue to be at our core but the application of our vision will broaden.

We look forward to partnering with you on this exciting journey!

Desde mayo de 2010, “Cloud Musings” ha mostrado, informado y celebrado el uso de las tecnologías más avanzadas en el mundo de la empresa. Los temas cubiertos han podido variar de vez en cuando, pero el cloud computing y la ciberseguridad se han convertido en nuestro terreno ideal. Durante este período, las tecnologías de la información se han transformado, dejando de ser un brazo de apoyo de las empresas para convertirse en el núcleo de prácticamente cualquier modelo de negocio. La transformación de la actividad empresarial está igualmente acelerándose, a medida que las redes sociales y la analítica del big data ocupan su lugar en este espacio. Estamos, además, muy orgullosos de haber tenido la oportunidad de asociarnos con compañías punteras, como Dell, IBM, NASDAQ e Intel, aunque hemos tenido una limitación: no nos hemos dirigido a los lectores cuya lengua materna no es el inglés. Hoy empezamos a dar adecuada respuesta a esa cuestión, con el lanzamiento de nuestro blog “Cloud Musings en español”.

The Endpoint Imperative: ID’ing and Overcoming the Stumbling Blocks to Digital Transformation

$

Digital Transformation is the No 1 priority for organizations large and small. It’s imperative that IT remove any obstacles to digital transformation success – including outdated PCs and mobile devices. Intel’s Kaitlin Murphy has some pointers to assure that your PC fleet and mobile devices are not your Digital Transformation Stumbling Blocks.

Kevin: Hello everyone and welcome to this episode of "The Endpoint Imperative" podcast series from Intel. My name is Kevin L. Jackson and I'm your host for this series. This episode's topic is identifying and overcoming digital transformation stumbling blocks. With me is Kaitlin Murphy, director of marketing for business clients at Intel. Kaitlin it's great to have you back.

Kaitlin: Thanks, I'm glad to be back.

Kevin: In my last episode I was talking with Yasser Rasheed, and he told us about how the IT security model is changing. Earlier you had talked about even more than that is changing, and that the PC is at the center of what's being called digital transformation. Can you tell us more about that?

Kaitlin: Sure. One of the core tenets of digital transformation is building in digital environment, where employees can work wherever they want, whenever they want, and however they want. To some degree that means using the technology they want, which includes the PC. The PC is a very personal device and it's heavily relied upon on a daily basis. In fact, there was a recent global survey that said 95% of respondents chose the PC if they could only have one device to use during the workday. So, for lots of employees the PC is the thing that they need to be productive. It's literally the gateway to access everything. The tools, the apps, and data and then to be able to do things with it, not to mention communicate with others.

It isn't just a consumption device, it's a creation device too. And with each generation of new platform, new features, new enhancements are introduced, and they help employees to be able to perform the way they want. Delivering performance improvements and security improvements too. It also benefits IT and they've realized the importance of prioritizing the new devices in the transformation, so that they can take advantage of those capabilities.


Kevin: Can we zoom in on this migration to Windows 10. What does that mean to the organizations in their digital transformation?

Caitlin: The moving to Windows 10 a new hardware is one of the quickest and easiest ways to take advantage of the best of both worlds. New hardware in conjunction with the new software delivers the best performance, the best security, and ultimately the best experience, both for end users and for IT organizations. And Intel powered devices are a great way to unlock that premium performance, for things like mobility, touch and workloads. Think about battery life, you can literally have a battery that lasts you all day. You're not tethered to your desk or to a power cord. Then there's multitasking. We all multitask, and the performance today allows people to be running multiple things at the same time and not be slowed down.

Not to mention there's huge enhancements with the introduction of Windows 10. Just think of the optimization in 365 and all the touch capabilities. Especially with the tight development relationship between Intel, Microsoft and OEMs you just can't find a bunch of well integrated devices to meet their needs and how they want to work. Like the two in one options, they have dials and touch and they can use a bunch of different modality based upon what the person is trying to do and how they feel most comfortable doing it.

Kevin: It sounds like a lot of new capabilities for the end users, but what is the biggest challenge you see facing organizations as they ramp up for this transformation?

Kaitlin: For any large-scale transformation is difficult, right? It's complex and it takes time. Not just time to execute but time for the people to adjust as well, and the culture. One big issue we hear about is the proliferation of more devices. How do you secure and manage all of them? So, think about it. Digital transformation is anchored in PC's but it's actually a lot larger than that. It's about building that digital environment. In doing so also involve deploying ambient compute, things like sensors from lighting temperature control, or intelligence in the conference room so that meetings it can start faster and deliver improved collaboration capabilities. Each of these pieces of compute has to be maintained right, both security managed, and that presents a challenge.

Kevin: Wow, sounds like the digital transformation can be really hard for the organization. But now we're out of time for this episode. I'd like to really thank Kaitlin Murphy with Intel, for providing us her insights and expertise. Thanks.

Kaitlin: Thank you.

Cloud Storage 2.0 Set to Dominate Market | @CloudExpo #GDPR #Cloud #Storage

The enterprise data storage marketplace is poised to become a battlefield. No longer the quiet backwater of cloud computing services, the focus of this global transition is now going from compute to storage. An overview of recent storage market history is needed to understand why this transition is important. Before 2007 and the birth of the cloud computing market we are witnessing today, the on-premise model hosted in large local data centers dominated enterprise storage. Key marketplace players were EMC (before the Dell acquisition), NetApp, IBM, HP (before they became HPE) and Hitachi. Company employees managed information technology resources (compute, storage, network) and companies tightly controlled their data in facilities they managed. Data security, legal and regulatory concerns, for the most part, were very localized. The data itself was highly structured (i.e., Relational Databases and SQL) in support of serially executed mostly static business processes. This structured approach worked because consumer segments in most industries were homogeneous, segregated and relatively static. Companies also felt relatively safe in their industry vertical due to the high financial and operational barriers prospective new competitive entrants would face.
