Transformation Infrastructure
Hybrid IT enables a composable infrastructure which describes a framework whose physical compute, storage, and network fabric resources are treated as services. Resources are logically pooled so that administrators need to physically configure hardware to support a specific software application, which describes the function of a composable architecture. This type of transformative infrastructure is foundational…
Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing as Digital Transformation
A survey of 2,000 executives conducted by Cognizant in 2016 identified the top five ways digital transformations generate value: Accelerating speed to market Strengthening competitive positioning Boosting revenue growth Raising employee productivity Expanding the ability to acquire, engage, and retain customers Digital transformation is also a cultural change. Cloud Computing as Digital Transformation Since cloud…
Embrace Transformation
From a business perspective, differentiating business processes and quality customer service are central to overall success. Business leaders must therefore clearly identify and measure how information technology contributes to the value of every key business process. They must also know how to most cost effectively use IT when the task is merely the management of…
Computer Vision Advances Zero-Defect Manufacturing
by Kevin L. Jackson Electronics manufacturers operate in a challenging environment. It’s hard enough to keep up with the ever-accelerating rate of change in the industry. Now customers want increasingly specialized product variations in less time and of higher quality. Meeting this demand for increased product variation can seriously impact the bottom line. Such variability increases…
Real-Time Analytics Power the Roadway of the Future
By Kevin L. Jackson The complexities of citywide traffic are pushing the limits of existing transportation management systems. Outdated infrastructure is based on proprietary, single-purpose subsystems, making it costly to acquire, operate, and maintain. And current roadways are simply not prepared for the future of autonomous vehicles. Enter the SPaT Challenge, an initiative encouraging cities and…
Thriving on the Edge: Developing CSP Edge Computing Strategy
Communications Service Providers (CSPs) are facing significant business model challenges. Referred to generally as edge computing, the possibilities introduced by the blending of 5G networks and distributed cloud computing technologies are redefining how CSPs operate, partner, and drive revenue. A new Ericsson Digital whitepaper entitled, “Edge computing and deployment strategies for communication service providers,” addresses these challenges…

Jackson, SourceConnecte (with an “e”) went live with three strategic goals in mind: Efficiently leverage modern social media technologies to facilitate value-based interactions between enterprise buyers and vetted suppliers; Establish a protected interactive environment capable of supporting high-value B2B e-commerce negotiations…
Potential vs. Reality: Is Edge Computing Real?
Edge computing provides compute, storage, and networking resources close to devices generating traffic. Its benefits are based on an ability to provide new services capable of meeting stringent operational requirements by minimizing both data latency and the need for bandwidth. Based on Google trend data, searches for the term has also grown substantially over the…

The ThinkShield Story Part 1: The Challenge
The cybersecurity challenge seems to be growing daily. Threats are becoming more sophisticated, and attacks are becoming more destructive while the corporate world’s response seems to resemble a deer in headlights. Recent examples of this dangerous state of affairs include[1]: A data breach of a US Customs and Border Protection surveillance contractor that led to…
CHANTILLY, Va., July 9, 2013 — NJVC® was selected by Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC) to provide the platform as a service (PaaS) element of a cloud-computing-based humanitarian assistance and disaster response data exchange demonstration.
Google will provide massively scalable, critical geospatial data and mapping services to the demonstration participants. The cloud-based Google Maps Engine product lets users create, share, publish and view (via a browser or Google Earth client) purpose-built maps to address key CHD mission requirements. When needed, Google Earth Server will provide an offline geospatial visualization capability on laptops, tablets and smartphones. These technologies will provide participants the ability to use one of the most familiar technologies in the world, with the same user experience as Google Earth and Google Maps, to easily exchange geospatial information and data within near-real-time operational constraints.
This activity supports cycle two of the geospatial community cloud concept (GCCC) demonstration in support of future disaster relief efforts, and will be conducted on behalf of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). “Through the cohesive PaaS solution to be delivered by NJVC, first responders will have access to the cloud services that they need—whenever and wherever they need them—and all disaster response activities will be managed from one secure interface,” said Kevin L. Jackson, vice president and general manager, NJVC cloud services. “GeoCloud is the glue to bond disparate apps into one powerful virtual community for first responders. NJVC is thrilled that Google’s technologies will provide the geospatial data backbone for the platform for cycle two of this historic community cloud demonstration.”
“Google is excited about the capabilities this new approach could deliver to first responders worldwide,” said Phil Dixon, IC manager, Google. “We look forward to working with NCOIC and NGA to make this possibility a reality.”
GCCC cycle two will showcase the delivery of basic geospatial PaaS capabilities within the context of a real CHD situation: the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Cycle two began in early June, and will be a 90-day project.
