IRI - Big Data Manipulation     Covering the topic of big data manipulation would not be complete without the perspective of IRI, The CoSort Company. Founded 40 years ago in 1978 to move mainframe sort users into open systems, IRI helped put on the map. Its CoSort utility is also widely used in data warehousing, database load acceleration, and data wrangling for analytics. CoSort’s expanding manipulation functions spawned compatible data migration, data masking, and test data products, and a modern data management platform called Voracity. IRI Vice President David Friedland has joined us for our interview on a topic central to us and the company, and we’re pleased to have him back on Outlook Series. 39 Minutes NEC - IaaS     No one likes infrastructure upgrades. Replacing new hardware is a costly, never-ending battle. But software upgrades, especially major ones, can entail even lengthier and more expensive projects. When it comes to dealing with today’s massive volumes of data—processing it, analyzing it and reporting on it— well not upgrading can be even more expensive. Often software upgrades introduce major changes. Whether by choice or due to changing technology, these changes affect not only existing features, but also the underlying data structures and platform. And almost certainly, the added features require newer, more efficient server hardware, memory and storage. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Mike Mitsch to gain NEC's perspective on Infrastructure as a Service. Mike is the Managing Director of Infrastructure as a Service at NEC Corporation of America. 25 Minutes Kovair RESTful API     Currently, RESTful APIs for any enterprise application are being regarded as next generation to SOA architectures.

Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Bipin Shah to gain Kovair Software's perspective on RESTful APIs. Bipin is the CEO of Kovair Software. 20 Minutes Micro Focus - Agile Enterprise     To become an agile enterprise, enterprise architects, portfolio managers, and other executives must gain insight into the status of each application in their portfolio, so they can make effective resource and investment decisions. And when a business decision is made, it must be pushed down into the application teams for implementation and tracked across its lifecycle, from its origins in strategy, through development, and into deployment and production. But each team is unique. Each may choose its own development methodology, application lifecycle management tools, and metrics to track. Some are moving to DevOps to increase agility. As a result, the information that feeds business decisions is difficult to obtain and is inconsistent across teams. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Victoria Voinigescu to gain Micro Focus' perspectives on Achieving an Agile Enterprise. Victoria is a Sr. Product Manager of Agile Portfolio and Lifecycle Strategy with Micro Focus. 26 Minutes PTC Manufacturing Apps     Today's manufacturing firms need to rapidly develop, deploy and extend apps and augmented reality experiences.

Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Dr. Ulrich Kalex to gain Software AG's perspective on GDPR compliance. Ulrich is a Senior VP Product Management and R&D for Software AG. Ulrich is a Senior VP Product Management and R&D for Software AG..  35 Minutes SAP - ITOA Real Time Insight     Almost everything in the data center generates log files, it’s not uncommon to see volumes of 100 million events per day. Those events are generated by servers, routers, applications, virtual machines, databases, and operating systems, among others. With this volume of data, it’s hard to pinpoint problems and correlate them across devices in real-time to address problems quickly. When an outage or performance issue does occur, teams work in parallel attempting to address the problem. Because teams typically use separate monitoring tools, it’s difficult to correlate events and quickly identify the root cause—and harder to predict issues before they impact users. Michael Lippis interviews John Schitka to gain SAP's perspective on leveraging IT Operations Analytics for Real Time Insight. John a Senior Director of Big Data Solutions Marketing for SAP. 40 Minutes Kovair Intelligent DevOps     DevOps implementation poses a variety of challenges for organizations.

Once integrated, cross-tool data from development and operations tools become readily available to every project stakeholder for their use. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Bipin Shah to gain Kovair Software's perspective on Integrated DevOps. Bipin is the CEO of Kovair Software. 17 Minutes Outthink Outages with IBM ITOA     Successful organizations are creating compelling consumer experiences that transform their interaction. Yet the complex technologies that support these experiences need to be continuously up and running in peak performance or even the most promising experience will ultimately fail. While traditional monitoring tools can help pinpoint problems to improve mean time to repair, cognitive capabilities can go deeper to improve mean time to know – to locate the root cause of a problem, to determine how it occurred and predict when it might occur again. Michael Lippis interviews Denny O'Brien to gain IBM's perspective on IT Operations Analytics or ITOA. Denny is the Program Director for IBM Operations Analytics offerings. 17 Minutes SAP ITOA Prevents Data Center Outages     IT departments are looking to better leverage the analytical capabilities used by business. But, IT professionals are finding that a fragmented view of partial operations can impede their ability to analyze root causes of data center incidents. So, resolve incidents effectively, IT needs to work with an analytic tool that gives a single view of all devices within IT from applications, to network devices, to servers. That would be anything that generates a syslog. While realtime monitoring and alerting are important, being interrupted because of a text message saying there’s a performance issue could be unwanted. Consequently, avoiding degradation or outages in advance could have material benefit to your organization.  Michael Lippis interviews Angela Harvey to gain SAP's perspective on IT Operations Analytics or ITOA. Angela is a SAP Director of Solution Management for Big Data and Analytics. 7 Minutes Microsoft - Agile at Scale     Everything done around development — collaboration, testing, and customer feedback — has changed. Now, leveraging Agile in small teams is not unusual. But, when it comes leveraging Agile across hundreds of teams in a coordinated way, well that can be an eye opener. How are dependencies handled? How do the teams keep in sync? How does management stay in control, if hundreds of teams are autonomous?

Today, however, wireless local-area networks (WLANs) have become mission-critical and enabling mobility has become vital to the enterprise. And with good reason: studies have shown that mobility-enabled workers are more productive, help to increase profits and are happier employees. What’s more, the definition of what constitutes a workplace has undergone a shift in recent years, as working from home becomes more common to both give employees more flexibility and to reduce corporate space requirements and their associated expense. The definition of enterprise mobility has also grown to reflect its importance. Beyond creating campus-wide Wi-Fi access, enabling a mobile enterprise means providing ubiquitous connectivity and simple access: employees – or any user in the network – are provided with quality access to whatever applications they need, anywhere, anytime, on any device. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Heitor Faroni and Joseph Raccuglia to gain Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's perspective on Unified Access. Heitor is a Director of Solutions Marketing and Joseph is a Senior Director of Solutions Marketing both are at the Network Division of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. 28 Minutes SDN - One Size Does Not Fit All   Increasing agility and automation in the data center to optimize application delivery requires a complete, end-to-end, coordinated virtual infrastructure. This infrastructure will allow applications and the physical network to collaborate, thereby providing a high quality experience for users and enabling optimization of resources. The ideal solution should follow a SDN approach. This will allow it to bridge the gap between the network world and the newly virtualized compute world by defining a framework that uses standardized interfaces between applications and networks. Likewise, it should be flexible enough to leverage multiple methods, including OpenFlow, to provide direct access to all virtual and physical objects in the data center and enable manipulation of the forwarding plane of physical and virtual network devices, such as switches and routers. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Khurram Khawaja to gain Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's perspective on SDN. Khurram Khawaja is a Director Product Management for the Data Center Product Portfolio at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. 30 Minutes Application Virtualization     Today’s organizations need powerful, flexible solutions to manage the devices and applications employees use every day.

Application Virtualization is key to transforming applications into centrally managed services that are never installed and don’t conflict with other applications. IT professionals and end-users alike face challenges in today’s work environment. End-users speak many languages, are geographically dispersed and may not be connected to corporate networks at all times. IT must meet the needs of these users, and provide solutions that are fast, flexible and reliable. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Ronald Dockery and Matthijs Gates to gain Microsoft's perspective on Application Virtualization. Ronald is a Senior Product Manager and Matthijs is a Senior Program Manager, both are with Microsoft.  29 Minutes Micro Focus - DevOps     Software has become the most important tool for businesses to find, capture, and retain customers. Unlike a physical product, software can be changed quickly and often—and today, that’s exactly what customers expect. They can easily defect to a competitor offering a handy new feature—right after they leave a negative review about your company that could tarnish your reputation and drive away other potential users. Savvy businesses are using the rapid pace and malleability of software to drive more and more differentiation into the marketplace. They’re using instant feedback from users to continuously improve software. And increasingly, they’re doing this through DevOps. By ensuring close collaboration between developers and operations staff throughout the entire software development lifecycle, enterprises are becoming better at ensuring quality, maximizing speed, and reacting to—or even forecasting—market changes. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Ashish Kuthiala and Rafael Garcia to gain their perspectives on DevOps.Ashish is the Sr. Director of Marketing and Strategy at HPE DevOps and Rafael Garcia is the Director of R&D IT at HPE. 40 Minutes
