Tech Resources: Everything you need to get ahead

Hi {NAME}, The Register: Tech Resources - 29 April 2020 ### Build the next generation of your business in the public cloud We invite you, Reg readers, to ride the second wave of cloud adoption -- the one in which you can finally migrate the applications that run your business to the public cloud. But, if you want to move your SAP, Oracle or similar workloads, how will you do it? Do you lift-and-shift, re-architect, or combine the two? How do you ensure security and compliance? And do you even have a viable business case to do it? Carla Arend, Lead analyst Cloud EMEA, IDC will be talking with Tim Phillips about the tradeoffs you need to make and the suitability of different platforms for different workloads. And Yasser Eissa Vice President, IBM Public Cloud, Europe will be explaining the benefits of open, secure, enterprise-grade public cloud when making the transition. You will hear about: * How first movers are exploiting the next wave of cloud-based business innovation. * How to use your existing investment in cloud, while providing more flexibility to meet your business needs. * How open source software, with built-in security and enterprise-grade infrastructure are changing the potential of public cloud. * How you can avoid vendor lock-in to optimise your workloads on the right cloud model. Join our Regcast to avoid making costly security, compatibility or compliance errors with your business-critical applications.

We’re not having a go, most people’s wi-fi is flaky, you’re in a big club. But as your users increasingly expect stable, predictable wireless performance everywhere, then existing tools to measure and improve access point performance are starting to show their age. Imagine if you could ask your Wi-Fi network who has Wi-Fi problems, and why. Sounds like science fiction, but it’s actually happening today, in the world’s largest businesses and smaller ones alike. So join Stuart Bates from Infradata and Jussi Kiviniemi from Juniper, who are going to demonstrate Mist, Juniper’s AI-driven Wi-Fi solution that automatically sets up and continually optimises your wireless network to deliver better performance, based on meaningful parameters that users understand. They will be talking to the Reg’s Tim Phillips about: * Why most wi-fi networks underperform and why legacy architectures can’t fix it * How Mist uses AI and automation for reliable, predictable performance * How you can take advantage of these service enhancements And yes, you read that right: Jussi’s going to be doing demos too.

It means more software, and that means more software risk. The cloud means that your infrastructure is now part of your application, blurring the lines on who is responsible for security. And DevOps has accelerated the deployment of software. But where does this leave your security practice? Overwhelmed, in the way and under-informed. If your security practices are going to keep pace with the digital transformation of your business, you need to throw out the decades-old security playbook, start empowering and trusting developers to be the front-line of your security practice, and employing security tools that suit this bottom-up revolution in how you build secure software. Join Guy Podjarny of Snyk and the Reg’s Tim Phillips as they discuss: * Why the old ways of doing security don’t mesh with the way we build apps today * The dev-first security practices that can cut risk without harming agility * The new tools and the shift in mindset that these changes demand Signup Now ### Migrate your Data Lake to the Public Cloud with Zero-Disruption Data lakes are becoming ever more tightly integrated into essential operational services. For born-in-the-cloud enterprises, dialing up capacity to expand analytics services is relatively straightforward. However, for businesses operating on-premises data lakes, expansion can be costly and slow—which puts them at a significant competitive disadvantage. For these enterprises, migrating on-premises data lakes to the public cloud promises a cost-effective way to gain leading-edge analytics capabilities and practically unlimited scalability. However, the perceived need for an extended period of downtime during the cloud migration can make these projects seem too costly, painful and risky. In this eBook, WANdisco explains why continuous data replication is the key to achieving a low-risk, seamless data lake migration. With the WANdisco Fusion platform enforcing strong consistency between data on premises and in the cloud, businesses can run both environments in parallel for as long as they need to—and switch seamlessly to the cloud as soon as they are ready.

In the cloud, companies can take advantage of cheap, scalable storage and compute platforms leveraging an OPEX model. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) have also enhanced their big data solutions providing greater functionality over native Hadoop offerings, and greatly simplifying the complexities for organizations having to manage their own Hadoop implementations. However, many organizations are struggling to migrate Hadoop to the cloud without business disruption. This report outlines the risks of manual migration, the benefits of automated migration, and key requirements for an effective Hadoop migration tool.
