The Nutanix hyper-converged offering comprises scalable data center compute, storage and networking hardware with the Prism management interface and a choice of Nutanix Acropolis, VMware vSphere or Micro- soft Hyper-V hypervisors. “We liked the idea of VMs running close to compute and memory, with clustered aggregated storage,” said Joe Aiello, staff engineer in Global Labs at Shoretel, which adopted Nutanix 20 months ago.

  • A Complete Survey on Software Architectural Styles and Patterns
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 70 ( 2015 ) 16 – 28 4th International Conference on Eco-friendly Computing and Communication Systems, ICECCS 2015 A Complete Survey on Software Architectural Styles and Patterns Anubha Sharmaa*,Manoj Kumarb, Sonali Agarwalc a,b,cIndian Institute of Information Technology,Allahabad 211012,India Abstract Software bought revolutionary change making entrepreneurs fortunate enough to make money in less time with least effort and correct output. SDLC (Software development life cycle) is responsible for software’s reliability, performance, scalability, functionality and maintainability. Although all phases of SDLC have their own importance but Software architecture serves as the foundation for other phases of SDLC. Just like sketch of a building helps constructor to correctly construct the building, software architecture helps software developer to develop the software properly. There are various styles available for software architecture. In this paper, clear picture of all important software architecture styles are presented along with recent advancement in software architecture and design phases. It could be helpful for a software developer to select an appropriate style according to his/her project’s requirement. An architectural style must be chosen correctly to get its all benefits in the system. All the architectural styles are compared on the basis of various quality attributes. This paper also specifies the application area, advantages and disadvantages of each architectural style. © 20152015 The The Authors. Authors. Published Published by byElsevier Elsevier B.V. B.V.

    Research Note: AWS re:Invent 2019 Rajeev Chand Partner and Head, Research Amazon’s 8th annual re:Invent was held December 2-6, 2019, in Las Vegas. The [email protected] conference is one of the largest enterprise tech gatherings globally, second only to Salesforce’s Dreamforce. This year’s re:Invent had 65,000 attendees, which is more Olivia Rodberg than double the 30,000 attendees in 2016. Research Associate [email protected] re:Invent, as a vendor-specific conference, focused on sessions with Amazon executives, technologists, and partners introducing, discussing, and evangelizing AWS products and services. However, in hallway conversations and private meetings, attendees discussed and debated industry trends and challenges in cloud businesses Wing Venture Capital and technologies. 480 Lytton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 At this year’s conference, Wing’s research team hosted the Wing Summit: re:Invent, an exclusive, invitation-only dialogue with 40 chief information officers and chief technology officers. In addition, during two days at the conference, we held 20 one-on- meetings with Fortune 500 executives, principally vice presidents and heads of infrastructure, engineering, cloud, and data. Our takeaways included: 1) Cost economics, though frequently raised, is not the primary driver. CIOs in our pre-summit feedback most frequently raised cost economics as a topic. One CIO asked, “are cloud financials what people perceive them to be for production workloads?” Another asked, “is there a crossover point where public cloud becomes more costly than private cloud?” Another questioned, “how should we be thinking about balancing growing opex vs. capex?” Executives in our meetings emphasized that cost economics are not the primary driver for cloud adoption.

  • Microsoft Azure Snapshot
    Microsoft Azure Snapshot Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform with a vast global footprint of managed data centers that provide » Empower IT innovation software as a service (SaaS), platform as » Leverage scalable resources a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as » Simplify developer workflows a service (IaaS) offerings. The platform supports many different programming languages, tools, and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Many enterprise customers are increasingly looking to shift workloads from their data centers to public cloud platforms such as Azure, which provide a specific set of templates to ensure the smooth operation of workflow processes. If an enterprise is currently using Microsoft Office 365 solutions and SharePoint, the shift to Azure is even more compelling. BALANCING INNOVATION WITH IT VISIBILITY AND CONTROL Development and engineering teams are some of the largest consumers of cloud and transient resources. As developers test applications or IT systems, they need to quickly spin up virtual machines and other resources while controlling costs. In many cases, they wind up building their own servers outside the control of IT. Because end-users can deploy complex applications to public cloud platforms, this can lead to mismanagement of resources, server sprawl, and servers vulnerable to network and cyber-attacks. Some users can become mired in complexity as they attempt to provision resources, while IT teams can lose visibility and control over those resources if a process in the workflow fails. Moreover, IT administrators and end users are challenged by what seems like an infinite number of choices that must be made before they can successfully launch and provision cloud resources and services in most public clouds.

  • Cloudbolt AWS Datasheet
    DATASHEET Simplified Management for AWS Resources » Leverage scalable Infrastructure resources from Amazon Web resources Services (AWS) have become very popular for enterprises — providing a scalable » Simplify IT provisioning environment for mission-critical applications » Gain visibility and control and services that are dedicated or on- demand and part of an overall hybrid cloud and multi-cloud strategy. AWS resources help top enterprises innovate and achieve digital business objectives with agility. [email protected] www.cloudbolt.io 1 DATASHEET Although an excellent wellspring of resources, AWS has what seems like an infinite number of decisions to make before deploying them. IT admins and end users want to use AWS resources with the goal of not sacrificing security and performance while controlling costs so they don’t end up costing more than the value they provide. For those reasons, deploying AWS resources effectively can be daunting to even seasoned IT professionals. At the enterprise level, making the right decisions about using AWS resources can make a huge difference for the overall success of digital transformation initiatives, particularly when implementing hybrid cloud and multi-cloud strategies. CloudBolt helps IT admins move the critical and complicated aspects of deploying AWS resources behind the scenes. The entire process of requesting, deploying, and terminating virtual machines (VMs) and cloud services is more efficient for end users who are provided with an intuitive self-service IT portal and unified manager to provision and manage the resources they need. As a hybrid cloud and multi-cloud management platform, CloudBolt homogenizes access to virtualization and cloud environments to not only AWS, but also to Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and VMware vCenter.
