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…

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 Outdated infrastructure is based on proprietary, single-purpose subsystems, making it costly to acquire, operate, and maintain.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…
SourceConnecte! Marketplace With A Mission
Earlier this year, GC GlobalNet launched a new breed of B2B e-commerce sites. Curated by Kevin L. 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…

Thanks for such a great blog. The post seems to be informative and useful for the people to know about the Cloud Computing. Here I like to share my experience on Cloud Computing Conference 2009 from where I have gathered good knowledge over the Cloud Computing and its technologies,services. cloudslam 2009 is the World's largest, virtual and 1st annual conference on Cloud Computing events and its technologies. I got a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk with the world's leading experts of Cloud Computing.
Nice Post
Since I am hearing much about Cloud Computing. I would like to experience a conference about it. So had planned to attend the Conference which is going to be hosted online by cloud members.
