HP Session at Cloud Expo
As we've been looking at cloud computing over the past several years, a long transition is under way, of moving from traditional IT and architectural method to this notion of cloud -- be it private cloud, at a third-party location, or through some combination of the above.
Traditional capacity planning is not enough in these newer cloud-computing environments. Elasticity planning is what's needed. It's a natural evolution of capacity planning, but it's in the cloud.
Therefore traditional capacity planning needs to be reexamined. So now we'll look at how to best right-size cloud-based applications, while matching service delivery resources and demands intelligently, repeatedly, and dynamically. The movement to pay-per-use model also goes a long way to promoting such matched resources and demand, and reduces wasteful application practices.
We'll also examine how quality control for these cloud applications in development reduces the total cost of supporting applications, while allowing for a tuning and an appropriate way of managing applications in the operational cloud scenario.
Here to help unpack how Cloud Assure services can take the mystique out of cloud computing economics and to lay the foundation for cost control through proper cloud capacity management methods, we're joined by Neil Ashizawa, manager of HP's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Products and Cloud Solutions. The discussion is moderated by me, BriefingsDirect's Dana Gardner, principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
Here are some excerpts:
Ashizawa: Old-fashioned capacity planning focuses on the peak usage of the application, and it had to, because when you were deploying applications in-house, you had to take into consideration that peak usage case. At the end of the day, you had to be provisioned correctly with respect to compute power. Oftentimes with long procurement cycles, you'd have to plan for that.
In the cloud, because you have this idea of elasticity, where you can scale up your compute resources when you need them, and scale them back down, obviously that adds another dimension to old-school capacity planning.
The new way look at it within the cloud is elasticity planning. You have to factor in not only your peak usage case, but your moderate usage case and your low-level usage as well. At the end of the day, if you are going to get the biggest benefit of cloud, you need to understand how you're going to be provisioned during the various demands of your application.
If you were to take, for instance, the old-school capacity-planning ideology to the cloud, you would provision for your peak use-case. You would scale up your elasticity in the cloud and just keep it there.
But if you do it that way, then you're negating one of the big benefits of the cloud. That's this idea of elasticity, and paying for only what you need at that moment.
One of the main factors why people consider sourcing to the cloud is because you have this elastic capability to spin up compute resources when usage is high and scale them back down when the usage is low. You don't want to negate that benefit of the cloud by keeping your resource footprint at its highest level.
[Editor's Note: On Dec. 16, HP announced three new offerings designed to enable cloud providers and enterprises to securely lower barriers to adoption and accelerate the time-to-benefit of cloud-delivered services.Making the road smoother
This same week, Dana Gardner also interviewed HP's Robin Purohit, Vice President and General Manager for HP Software and Solutions, on how CIOs can contain IT costs while spurring innovation payoffs such as cloud architectures.
Also, HP announced, back in the spring of 2009, a Cloud Assure package that focused on security, availability, and performance.]
Ashizawa: What we're now bringing to the market works in all three cases [of cloud capacity planning]. Whether you're a private internal cloud, doing a hybrid model between private and public, or sourcing completely to a public cloud, it will work in all three situations.
The new enhancement that we're announcing now is assurance for cost control in the cloud. Oftentimes enterprises do make that step to the cloud, and a big reason is that they want to reap the benefits of the cost promise of the cloud, which is to lower cost. The thing here, though, is that you might fall into a situation where you negate that benefit.
If you deploy an application in the cloud and you find that it's underperforming, the natural reaction is to spin up more compute resources. It's a very good reaction, because one of the benefits of the cloud is this ability to spin up or spin down resources very fast. So no more procurement cycles, just do it and in minutes you have more compute resources.
The situation, though, that you may find yourself in is that you may have spun up more resources to try to improve performance, but it might not improve performance. I'll give you a couple of examples.
You can find yourself in a situation where your application is no longer right-sized in the cloud, because you have over-provisioned your compute resources.
If your application is experiencing performance problems because of inefficient Java methods, for example, or slow SQL statements, then more compute resources aren't going to make your application run faster. But, because the cloud allows you to do so very easily, your natural instinct may be to spin up more compute resources to make your application run faster.
When you do that, you find yourself in is a situation where your application is no longer right-sized in the cloud, because you have over provisioned your compute resources. You're paying for more compute resources and you're not getting any return on your investment. When you start paying for more resources without return on your investment, you start to disrupt the whole cost benefit of the cloud.
Applications need to be tuned so that they are right-sized. Once they are tuned and right-sized, then, when you spin up resources, you know you're getting return on your investment, and it's the right thing to do.
Whether you have existing applications that you are migrating to the cloud, or new applications that you are deploying in the cloud, Cloud Assure for cost control will work in both instances.
Cloud Assure for cost control solution comprises both HP Software and HP Services provided by HP SaaS. The software itself is three products that make up the overall solution.
The first one is our industry-leading Performance Center software, which allows you to drive load in an elastic manner. You can scale up the load to very high demands and scale back load to very low demand, and this is where you get your elasticity planning framework.
Moderate and peak usage
Ashizawa: The second solution from a software's perspective is HP SiteScope, which allows you to monitor the resource consumption of your application in the cloud. Therefore, you understand when compute resources are spiking or when you have more capacity to drive even more load.
The third software portion is HP Diagnostics, which allows you to measure the performance of your code. You can measure how your methods are performing, how your SQL statements are performing, and if you have memory leakage.
When you have this visibility of end user measurement at various load levels with Performance Center, resource consumption with SiteScope, and code level performance with HP Diagnostics, and you integrate them all into one console, you allow yourself to do true elasticity planning. You can tune your application and right-size it. Once you've right-sized it, you know that when you scale up your resources you're getting return on your investment.
You want to get a grasp of the variable-cost nature of the cloud, and you want to make this variable cost very predictable. Once it's predictable, then there will be no surprises. You can budget for it and you could also ensure that you are getting the right performance at the right price. ... If you're thinking about sourcing to the cloud and adopting it, from a very strategic standpoint, it would do you good to do your elasticity planning before you go into production or you go live.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

WILLISTON,, N.D. (AP) A researcher studying the impact of the oil boom on law enforcement in western North Dakota says police are busier in the area, but it's not the Wild West.
Carol Archbold, a North Dakota State University criminal justice associate professor, says people perceive there is a massive amount of violent crime in the oil patch, but violent crimes are not increasing as steadily as people think.
Archbold tells the Dickinson Press that police are getting more calls for alcohol- and drug-related crimes, traffic incidents and disorderly conduct.
Archbold and two doctoral students have interviewed officers from eight law enforcement agencies. The study will not be completed until later this year.

Ben Gibbard at Hi-Fi Bar in October (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben GIbbard, who played a single intimate show in NYC during CMJ, kicked off his tour with Advance Base in Minneapolis last week and they're set to hit NYC TONIGHT (11/5) at Town Hall. Tickets for tonight's show are still available.
Ben also just recently released a video for "Teardrop Windows" off of his debut album, Former Lives (out now via Barsuk), which was directed by Tom Scharpling, who also recently directed videos for Aimee Mann, Nude Beach, and others. The video stars comedian Kurt Braunohler, who plays a record label executive that tries to turn Ben into a "bad boy." Check out that video and an updated list of dates below.

Wreckonomics: Worker says hours cut due to Obamacare; Obama cites as reason minimum wage has to increase
**Written by Doug Powers
During a "Google Hangout" on Friday, President Obama heard from somebody who said he was a fry cook who's had his hours cut from full time so the place he works could "avoid paying health care" (presumably due to Obamacare regs). President Obama's answer? That's why we have to raise the minimum wage.
This exchange takes place at about the 14 minute mark of the video below (partial transcript):
Question: Good afternooon, Mr. President. My name is Darnell Summers, I'm 57 years old, and I work in the fast food industry. I have been on strike four times — I'm only making $7.25 an hour — I've been on strike four times in association with Wisconsin Jobs Now to try to get a increase in wages and a fast food union, with no prevail. My question to you is, what can you and Congress do, to help people as myself, in this situation … survive. Because with $7.25 — and we were broken down to part time to avoid paying health insurance — we can't survive. It's not living.
Obama: Well, Darnell, I agree with you. And on Tuesday in my State of the Union I talked about this. We've got to make sure the economy is growing and creating jobs. We gotta make sure folks have the skills to get those jobs. But we've also got to make sure that work pays. And the minimum wage in this country has not gone up in a very long time. It's actually worth about 20 percent less than when Ronald Reagan came into office back in 1980. And, I think, the one thing Americans agree on is that if you work full time in this country you should not be in poverty when you're raising your family.
Because 40 hours a week at $7.25 an hour is so much worse than 28 hours a week at $10.10?
"On Tuesday in my State of the Union I talked about this." In the SOTU, Obama talked about people getting their hours cut due to Obamacare? Must have missed that.
If raising the minimum wage to offset the hour cuts and other hits to the economy Obamacare hath wrought, pretty soon the minimum wage is going to be $25 an hour and they'll still be pretending not to know why so many people remain worse off than ever.
A different person had this hard-hitting question:
"Hello, Mr President, this is about the coolest thing ever," he said, explaining that "out of a million [questions] that I'd love to ask you over a beer somewhere," one stood out:
One man to another, one father to another, one American to another… How are you? … Is everything good with you, man?
Get that man a chair, White House Press Corps.

North Texas Business Collecting Toys For Unaccompanied Minors
Get Breaking News First
SOUTHLAKE (CBSDFW.COM) - A North Texas small business has stepped up to help the children set to be housed in Dallas County.
Dynamic Travel Cruises is holding a toy drive and asking for new or used dolls, balls, stuffed animals or any other simple toy to give to kids.
Owner Steve Cosgrove says he got the idea after seeing protestors block buses full of immigrant women and children who were flown to California from overwhelmed Texas facilities.
"I saw the protest against the kids out in California and I thought that screaming at a bus load of 10-year olds or 8-year olds, who just hiked 16 hundred miles to get here, was not the way America should be represented," said Cosgrove.
The agency is accepting donations at their office, located at 2325 E. Southlake Blvd., in Southlake. The hours of operation are Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, Sunday from noon to 5 pm and weekdays from 9 am to 6pm.
All those who donate will be entered in a raffle to win a cruise for two from Royal Caribbean.

Huskies need weekend sweep to claim Pac-12 title
Four seasons ago, it all played out so perfectly when Washington claimed its first outright regular season conference title in more than 50 years.
AP Sports Writer
Four seasons ago, it all played out so perfectly when Washington claimed its first outright regular season conference title in more than 50 years.
The Huskies were home, against rival Washington State no less, and honoring one of their greatest players when Jon Brockman was feted on senior day. The 67-60 win that afternoon, the ensuing storming of the court and the nets being cut down in a sea of purple still rate as Lorenzo Romar's top moment since becoming the Huskies coach in 2002.
A sweep in Los Angeles of USC and UCLA this weekend would give the Huskies the Pac-12 regular season title outright. They need only a split this weekend to share the conference crown with California.

Indian, Pakistan soldiers to hold talks on rising Kashmir violence
NEW DELHI/JAMMU, India
NEW DELHI/JAMMU, India (Reuters) - Military officials from India and Pakistan will hold talks on Monday at the Line of Control, which divides disputed Kashmir, in a bid to defuse tensions after a series of deadly attacks in the region, Indian army officials said.
Four soldiers were killed last week in the worst outbreak of violence in Kashmir since the nuclear-armed neighbours agreed a ceasefire nearly a decade ago.
"Yes the two sides will be meeting on Monday. This is a local commander meet," Colonel Rajesh Kalia, a spokesman for Indian Army's Northern Command, told Reuters by phone.
Another Indian Army spokesman, Colonel Jagdeep Dahiya, said in New Delhi that the meeting would take place in Mendhar, the scene of one of the deadly attacks, at 1 p.m. (0730 GMT).
India and Pakistan have fought three wars since their independence in 1947, two of them over the Himalayan region of Kashmir.
India considers the entire region of snow-capped mountains and fertile valleys an integral part of its territory. Muslim Pakistan contests that and demands implementation of a 1948 U.N. Security Council resolution for a plebiscite to determine the wishes of the mostly Muslim people of Kashmir.
India-Pakistan ties had shown signs of improving in the past year after souring again in 2008 when gunmen killed 166 people in Mumbai in a three-day rampage. India blames a Pakistan militant group for the massacre.
Firing and small skirmishes are common along the 740-km (460-mile) LoC despite a ceasefire that was agreed in 2003. The Indian army says eight of its soldiers were killed in 2012, in 75 incidents of ceasefire violations.
Last Sunday, a Pakistani soldier was killed in what Islamabad said was a cross-border raid mounted by the Indians. The Indian army denied any of its troops breached the control line, but said there had been an exchange of fire.
Two days later, further south along the LoC in the Mendhar district, two Indian soldiers were killed in a thick forest after what Indian officials said was a deep incursion into their territory by Pakistani forces. The head of one of the bodies had been "badly severed", according to Indian officials.
On Thursday, hostilities erupted again in another part of the ceasefire line, and this time Pakistan said one of its soldiers was killed.

More fantasy adventure than horror which is clear it in it rating. Blends real history with fantasy and some Luke Evan shirtless action mixed in.
I enjoyed for it is, a seriously attempt to explain the myth even if some shoe-honing was evident.
Lake Placid 1999
A really fun throwback to the 'Jaws' monster era. The chemistry between the main characters works , one-liners are funny and the effects still look fine.
