Foundation for Pervasive Information Infrastructure

The Traditional Definition of information in the Enterprise is changing from simple unstructured and Structured ASCII Data to more broader binary formats.

In the era where almost every business class mobile device is sensor-enabled, connected and Video capable. This popularity of embedding complex sensors, displays and end-effectors in to mobile devices is creating new and interesting Data collection and anlaysis use cases.

The proliferation of sensor-enabled data-rich, video and voice capabilities into the business workflows is only a matter of time.

Before too long we will see emergence of voice and video streaming functions becoming main stream information source. Transcribing and annotating audio/video streams enable easy indexing and search capabilities. The Data corellated from embedded sensors and sensor network will add a dimension to voice and video data to make it context and location aware.

The Broadcast(like youTube), multi-cast(like netflix) and conference(webex) capabilities are becoming standard features in Enterprise class collaborative applications.

In a world where more rich-information is produced, consumed and discarded, the Design of the pervasive Information Infrastructure needs to be more real-time, flexible, scalable and secure.

Presence(instant messaging) capabilities provide immediacy and context , Profile capabilities capture end-user meta data and provisioning capabilities simplify service adoption.

The Foundation for creating a pervasive instructure relies on Presence, Profile and Provisioning maturity.

ForeThought -- Global directory service for the Digital world

ForeThought Real world is full of people. We have phone books,yellow pages, maps and postal addresses to get to them. Real world is governed by laws, rules and norms. Digital world is full of devices and devices only(severs, desktops, appliances, gadgets etc..) In the digital world, We have DNS, IP Addresses/SMTP mail address, Routers/gateways. All of these methods are still rudimentery to lookup and locate attributes, features and functions of devices. Most devices serve a useful purpose. some of them are misused to inflict pain and damage in the digital world. Clear knowledge attributes, features and functions of devices can hel in reducing the risk and help us in responding to misuse of these devices. An idea of a Global Directory Service -- for locating Devices worldwide....These devices are attributed to People, Resources and Services.... This type of service can help in Asset tracking, Monitoring, Communications, Incident response, forensics and Da...

Blueprint for a new ITaaS Service Provider

Cloud computing is raising the expectation on the agility, availability and access to sophisticated computing and communication platforms for small and medium business. Today most critical IT components for running a successful business are available as SaaS, PaaS or IaaS platforms. There is little value in recreating all these services from the scratch by a new age service provider. It may be prudent to create a skeletal platform for essential services while taking a position of services broker to organize a rich portfolio by aggregating important services into tightly knit IT-as-a –Service offering. The initial target market for such a service provider is Small and Medium Business. We will review aspirations and capabilities needed to serve the ever increasing expectations of small and medium customers from a modern service provider. The Vision, Strategy and Execution plan to create a modern Information Technology as a Service (ITaaS) provider infrastructure is described on the...

RAINing Appliances in the Clouds

Appliances always had a soft-corner in Data center and cloud strategy. My Brush with appliances started in early 2000. We were looking at soultions for traffic management and billing for small ISP. the solutions with software and hardware were quite complicated. We came across small company out of Israel called Allot Networks (www.allot.com). they did a good job in a simple way. Later at NVIDIA, I was exposed Netapp for NAS storage which quickly pivoted into block storage with iscsi. they literally gave away the iscsi protocol license for free with the box for a long time. On the network side, my Exposure was with F5 networks while managing nvidia.com. We were facing scalability issues during product launhces and driver release announcements. We tried newer players such as Array Networks and Netscaler while they were in Beta. We ended up assisting and supporting Netscaler with our feedback to evolve the product to have in-memory caching. In VMworld 2013, I have seen a emergence ...
