    the way we see it Changing the Game: Monthly Technology Briefs April 2011 Tablets and Smartphones: Levers of Disruptive Change Read the Capgemini Chief Technology Officers’ Blog at www.capgemini.com/ctoblog Public the way we see it Tablets and Smartphones: Levers of Disruptive Change All 2010 shipment reports tell the same story - of an incredible increase in the shipments of both Smartphones and Tablets, and of a corresponding slowdown in the conventional PC business. Smartphone sales exceeded even the most optimis- tic forecasts of experts, with a 74 percent increase from the previous year – around a battle between Apple and Google Android for supremacy at the expense of traditional leaders Nokia and RIM BlackBerry. It was the same story for Tablets with 17.4 million units sold in 2010 led by Apple, but once again with Google Android in hot pursuit. Analyst predictions for shipments suggest that the tablet market will continue its exponential growth curve to the extent that even the usually cautious Gartner think that by 2013 there will be as many Tablets in use in an enterprise as PCs with a profound impact on the IT environment. On February 7, as part of the Gartner ‘First Thing Monday’ series under the title ‘The Digital Natives are Restless, The impending Revolt against the IT Nanny State’ Gartner analyst Jim Shepherd stated; “I am regularly hearing middle managers and even senior executives complaining bit- terly about IT departments that are so focussed on the global rollout of some monolith- ic solution that they have no time for new and innovative technologies that could have an immediate impact on the business.

    FOR CIOS DECEMBER 29, 2014 Google Is A Strong Performer In Enterprise Public Cloud Platforms Excerpted From The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Public Cloud Platforms, Q4 2014 by John R. Rymer and James Staten with Peter Burris, Christopher Mines, and Dominique Whittaker GOOGLE, NOW A FULL-SERVICE PLATFORM, IS RUNNING TO CATCH THE LEADERS Since our last analysis, Google has made significant improvements to its cloud platform — adding an IaaS service, innovated with new big data solutions (based on its homegrown dremel architecture), and added partners. Google is popular among web developers — we estimate that it has between 10,000 and 99,000 customers. But Google Cloud Platform lacks several key certifications, monitoring and security controls, and application services important to CIOs and provided by AWS and Microsoft.1 Google has also been slow to position its cloud platform as the home for applications that want to leverage the broad set of Google services such as Android, AdSense, Search, Maps, and so many other technologies. Look for that to be a key focus in 2015, and for a faster cadence of new features.

  • Compact and Efficient Representation of General Graph Databases
    This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article pub- lished in Knowledge and Information Systems. The final authenti- cated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/ s10115-018-1275-x Compact and Efficient Representation of General Graph Databases1 Sandra Alvarez-Garc´ıa´ 1, Borja Freire2, Susana Ladra3 and Oscar´ Pedreira3 1Indra, A Coru~na,Spain; 2 Enxenio S.L., A Coru~na,Spain; 3 Universidade da Coru~na, CITIC, Database Laboratory, A Coru~na,Spain Abstract. In this paper, we propose a compact data structure to store labeled at- tributed graphs based on the k2-tree, which is a very compact data structure designed to represent a simple directed graph. The idea we propose can be seen as an extension of the k2-tree to support property graphs. In addition to the static approach, we also pro- pose a dynamic version of the storage representation, which allows flexible schemas and insertion or deletion of data. We provide an implementation of a basic set of operations, which can be combined to form complex queries over these graphs with attributes. We evaluate the performance of our proposal with existing graph database systems and prove that our compact attributed graph representation obtains also competitive time results. Keywords: Compression; Graph Databases; Property Graphs; Attributed Graphs; Compact Data Structures; Dynamic Graphs 1.

All rights reserved. About this document This document is part of a series about working with SAP on Google Cloud. The series includes the following documents: ● High availability (this document) ● Migration strategies ● Backup strategies and solutions ● Disaster-recovery strategies Introduction The term high availability (HA) is used to describe an architecture that improves a system’s ​ ​ availability. The availability of a system refers to a user’s ability to connect to the system and conduct the required operations. If a user can’t connect, the system is perceived as unavailable, regardless of the underlying issue. For example, a networking issue can prevent users from accessing the service, even though the system is running. A high-availability setup interacts with multiple components of the architecture to minimize the points of failure, typically by using redundancy. To measure a service’s performance throughout the year, the metric of percentage of uptime is ​ ​ used to calculate the ratio of uptime to the aggregate of uptime and downtime. A system that is available for ~8750 hours during the 8760 hours of a year has an uptime of 99.89% (8750/8760) and a downtime of 10 hours.
