GartnerDC 2014 – That’s a Wrap!

For the 300^th time, ALOHA! For my 300^th F5 video, I wrap it up from Gartner Data Center 2014 with a special surprise clip from the first ever F5 trade show video and a closing song for 2014. Thanks to Robert Haynes (Hybrid is the New Normal) along with Erin and Michael. And a very special thanks to all of you who have watched over the years! Truly grateful and appreciative!

GartnerDC 2014 – Application Availability Between Hybrid Data Centers

I explain the idea behind Application Availability Between Hybrid Data Centers reference architecture. Driven by applications and workloads, a hybrid data center is really a technology strategy of the entire infrastructure mix of on-premises and off-premises data compute resources. IT workloads reside in conventional enterprise IT (legacy systems), an on-premises private cloud (mission critical apps), at a third-party off-premises location (managed, hosting, or cloud provider), or a combination of all three. Today’s F5-powered hybrid data centers enable organizations to minimize downtime, scale on demand, and increase the ability to reliably deliver new applications and functionality.

GartnerDC 2014 – Hybrid is the New Normal (feat. Haynes)

Robert Haynes, F5 Marketing Solutions Architect, digs in about hybrid infrastructures. We got hybrid cars, hybrid corn, hybrid clouds and hybrid data centers and Robert discusses the state of today’s data center deployments and how organizations, based on business needs, are using various application delivery platforms, including cloud, to provide reliable, resilient & available applications. Really, how does IT work with departments to deliver a standard set of services? Find out here.

Gartner Data Center 2014 – Find F5

Like an application delivery oasis popping out of the ground, follow along and watch as I almost trip showing you how to find F5 Booth 253 at Gartner Data Center 2014. #GartnerDC is all about IT Infrastructure and Operations Management and BIG-IP sits in the strategic point of control in the data center. He also previews some of the F5 storylines this week including a new F5 reference architecture ‘Application Availability Between Hybrid Data Centers’. Reporting from Vegas!

Is IoT Hype For Real?

It is only fitting that the 20th anniversary of the Gartner Hype Cycle has the Internet of Things right at the top of the coaster. IoT is currently at the peak of Inflated Expectations. The Gartner Hype Cycle give organizations an assessment of the maturity, business benefit and future direction of more than 2,000 technologies. The theme for this year's Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle is Digital Business.

As you can see, being at the top really means that there is a ton of media coverage about the technology, so much so that it starts to get a little silly. Everyone is talking about it, including this author. What you can also so is the downward trend to follow. This is the trough of disillusionment. Gamification, Mobile Health Monitoring and Big Data all fall into this area. It means that they already hit their big hype point but doesn't necessarily mean that it's over. The slope of enlightenment shows technologies that are finally mature enough to actually have reasonable expectations about. Each of the technologies also have a time line of when it'll mature. For IoT, it looks like 5 to 10 years. So while we're hearing all the noise about IoT now, society probably won't be fully immersed for another decade...even though we'll see gradual steps toward it over the next few years.

Once all our people, places and things are connected, you can also get a sense of what else is coming in the Innovation Trigger area. Come the 2025 time frame, things like Smart Robots, Human Augmentation and a Brain Computer Interface could be the headlines of the day. Just imagine, instead of having to type this blog out on a keyboard, I could simply (and wirelessly) connect my brain chip to the computer and just think this.

Hey, Stop reading my mind!!
