According to Wikipedia, “DevOps acknowledges the interdependence of software development, quality assurance, and IT operations“. By having all three arms of a technology department collaborating, software products and services can be produced with a high quality bar and operational efficiencies. In this article, we’ll review how IT operations can engage more with a customer’s experience and assist software development in isolatin...May. 24, 2015 09:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,727Predictable Performance and Granular ControlBy Kelly MurphyTraditional storage was designed to present a LUN to a server. This worked well until that server became a hypervisor running 10, 20 or 30 virtual servers, all pointing to the same LUN. Adding to the complexity, all hypervisors need to point to the same LUN to enable VM mobility or high availability. Architecturally, this creates a many-to-one relationship that makes optimization impossible. Each VM has a different I/O pattern. When they all mix together, the aggregate I/O becomes highly random, creating performance issues with no way to isolate problems or control I/O per VM.May. 24, 2015 09:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,447Complete Visibility into Docker ContainersBy AppDynamics BlogDocker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins of distributed applications that enables them to build, ship, and run any app anywhere.

But while there is considerable discussion around how we securely provision our devices and who will have access to the data they capture, an important topic no one seems to be talking much about is the de-provisioning of smart objects. What happens when I ditch my Fitbit, trade in my connected car, or sell my house with its Nest thermostat, smart fridge and next-generation home security system? How do I manage to remove these smart devices from my life and make sure that no one has acces...May. 24, 2015 01:30 PM EDT Reads: 883
