A complementary target was to identify the open issues and the challenges to fix them, especially on security, privacy, and inter- and intra-clouds protocols. We take here the opportunity to warmly thank all the members of the CLOUD COMPUTING 2014 Technical Program Committee, as well as all of the reviewers. The creation of such a high quality conference program would not have been possible without their involvement. We also kindly thank all the authors who dedicated much of their time and efforts to contribute to CLOUD COMPUTING 2014. We truly believe that, thanks to all these efforts, the final conference program consisted of top quality contributions. Also, this event could not have been a reality without the support of many individuals, organizations, and sponsors. We are grateful to the members of the CLOUD COMPUTING 2014 organizing committee for their help in handling the logistics and for their work to make this professional meeting a success. We hope that CLOUD COMPUTING 2014 was a successful international forum for the exchange of ideas and results between academia and industry and for the promotion of progress in the areas of cloud computing, GRIDs and virtualization. We are convinced that the participants found the event useful and communications very open. We hope that Venice, Italy, provided a pleasant environment during the conference and everyone saved some time to enjoy the charm of the city.

  • Egnyte + Alberici Case Study
    + Customer Success From the Office to the Project Site, How Alberici Uses Egnyte to Keep Teams in Sync Egnyte has opened new doors of possibilities where we didn’t have access out in the field previously. The VDC and BIM teams utilize Egnyte to sync huge files offline. They have been our largest proponents of Egnyte. — Ron Borror l Director, IT Infrastructure $2B + Annual Revenue Introduction Solving complex challenges on aggressive timelines is in the DNA of Alberici Corporation, a diversified construction company 17 that works in industrial and commercial markets globally. Regional Offices When longtime client General Motors Company called on Alberici for an urgent design-build request to transform an 100 86,000 square-foot warehouse into an emergency ventilator Average Number manufacturing facility during the COVID-19 pandemic, they of Projects answered the call. Within just two weeks, the transformed facility produced its first ventilator and, within a month, it was making 500 life-saving devices a day. AT A GLANCE Drawing on their more than 100-years of experience successfully completing complex projects like the largest hydroelectric plant on the Ohio River, automotive assembly plants for leading car manufacturers, and SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, Alberici was ready to act fast. Engineering News-Record recently ranked Alberici as the 31st- largest construction company in the United States with annual revenues of $2B. Nearly 80 percent of Alberici’s business is generated by repeat clients, a testament to their service and quality and the foundation for consistent growth. www.egnyte.com | © 2020 by Egnyte Inc.

  • File Servers: Is It Time to Say Goodbye? Unstructured Data Is the Fastest-Growing Segment of Data in the Data Center
    File Servers: Is It Time to Say Goodbye? Unstructured data is the fastest-growing segment of data in the data center. A significant portion of data within unstructured data is the data that users create though office productivity and other specialized applications. User data also often represents the bulk of the organization’s intellectual property. Traditionally, user data is stored on either file servers or network-attached storage (NAS) systems, which IT tries to locate solely at a primary data center. Initially, the problem that IT faced with storing unstructured data was keeping up with its growth, which leads to file server or NAS sprawl. Now the problem IT faces in storing file data is that users are no longer located in a single primary headquarters. The distribution of employees exacerbates file server sprawl. It also makes it almost impossible for collaboration on the data between locations. IT has tried various workarounds like routing everyone to a single server via a virtual private network (VPN), which leads to inconsistent connections and unacceptable performance. Users rebel and implement workarounds like consumer file sync and share, which puts corporate data at risk. Organizations are looking to the cloud for alternatives. Still, most cloud solutions are either attempts to harden file sync and share or are Cloud-only NAS implementations that don’t allow for cloud latency. Nasuni A File Services Platform Built for the Cloud Nasuni is a global file system that enables distributed organizations to work together as if they were all in a single office. It leverages the cloud as a primary storage point but integrates on-premises edge appliances, often running as virtual machines, to overcome cloud latency issues.

  • The Effectiveness of CEO Leadership Styles in the Technology Industry
    The Effectiveness of CEO Leadership Styles in the Technology Industry Sean Dougherty, Andrew Drake Advisors: Dr. Jonathan Scott and Professor Katherine Nelson Temple University Explanation of research The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of leadership style on financial success. A great deal of research has been done on the factors that affect the financial success of a company, but leadership is one factor that tends to be overlooked. That is due to the nature of leadership; like other aspects of human resources management such as company culture, leadership is not easily quantifiable. In order to study leadership’s effect on company success, we needed to make leadership less abstract and more concrete. We needed a means of distinguishing the way one person leads in comparison to another person, and the solution was presented to us upon reading Primal Leadership. Authors Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee make the detailed claim that the way a person leads can always be categorized into at least one of six distinct emotional leadership styles. We seek to build on the research of Goleman, Boyatzis, and McKee by analyzing the effectiveness of each of these styles in terms of driving financial success. To measure financial success, we looked at the behavior of stock price in the time following an initial public offering. For our data set, we chose to study 60 companies in the technology industry that have gone public since the year 2000. With each company, we researched the CEO who led the company during the IPO and assigned him or her one to two leadership styles that he or she exhibits.

Email: [email protected] Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo state, Nigeria Email: [email protected] I. INTRODUCTION Cloud computing is commonly used to represent any work done on a computer, mobile or any device, where the data and possibly the application being used do not reside on the device but rather on an unspecified device elsewhere on the Internet. The basic premise of cloud computing is that consumers (individuals, industry, government, academia and so on) pay for IT services from cloud service providers (CSP). Services offered in cloud computing are generally based on three standard models (Infrastructure-as s service, Platform-as a service, and Software as a Service) defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The reason for cloud existence is to resolve managing problems being faced for data that were excessively stored, either mandatory capacity was limited due to the infrastructure of the business, or large capacity that led to a wasted capital. Apart from those major factors such as the initial capital, capitals and the service-fix cost, the sophisticated effort for the patching, the managing and the upgrading of the internal infrastructure is a huge obstacle for firm‘s development and mobility.
