Grazed from WhaTech. Author: Editorial Staff.

It should come as no surprise that two of the biggest sponsors for the forthcoming Technology in Government conference and exhibition are specialist providers of mobile device management and security technologies. Mobility will feature prominently in the conference program, as will the other major industry developments that are occupying chief information officers in government and industry alike: big data, cloud computing, security and the seemingly unstoppable rise of social media.

The enthusiastic uptake of smartphones and tablets by the Australian public has put huge pressure on corporate IT departments to allow these devices to be used in the corporate environment and BYOD - bring your own device - has gone from being barely tolerated to generally accepted, in part because the technologies for securing and managing them have improved...

Amplidata Shares the Secrets Behind Storage Clouds’ Exceptional Performance with Big Data at GigaOm Structure

Grazed from BusinessWire.  Author: PR Announcement.

Amplidata
, an innovator in optimized object-based storage technology, will share a few secrets of storage cloud providers’ best practices in coping with Big Unstructured Data at the GigaOm Structure conference this week in San Francisco, starting Wednesday June 20.

Storage clouds are the conduit for an increasing percentage of business users to access their daily computing needs, not just for casual access to files while traveling, or sending an occasional large file among collaborators. Rather than base their storage clouds on traditional RAID architectures, service providers, online storage companies, and even large organizations are moving to achieve scalability and cost-efficiency in the same way as Facebook, Google and Amazon have done – with object storage implementations. This is particularly true with Big Unstructured Data applications, where the traditional file structure no longer can meet today’s demand for scalability and cost-efficiency...
