From Victim to Survivor
The Survivor
I am twenty-four
led to slaughter
I survived.
These labels are empty and synonymous:
man and beast
love and hate
friend and foe
light and dark.
Man can be killed like the beast
I've seen:
cartloads of hacked-up bodies
who will never be saved.
Concepts are but words:
virtue and crime
truth and falsehood
beauty and ugliness
courage and cowardice.
Virtue and vice have equal weight
I've seen:
a man who was vicious and virtuous.
I seek a teacher and master
let him restore to me sight hearing and speech
let him once again name things and concepts
let him separate light from dark.

ScaleMP™, a leading provider of virtualization solutions for high-end computing, today announced its participation at the 2012 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC12) taking place November 10-16 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. ScaleMP will be exhibiting in booth #3425, demonstrating the newest version of its server virtualization for aggregation software platform, vSMP Foundation 5.0. This new release broadens the environments and infrastructure where vSMP Foundation can clearly show cost savings over proprietary, closed solutions.
During SC12, ScaleMP will be showcasing its vSMP Foundation product line in the company's partner booths:
- AMD (booth #2019) - Find out how a virtual SMP can protect your investment by running a single operating system across a system with both AMD Opteron 6200 series processors and the next-generation AMD Opteron processors based on the core architecture codenamed "Piledriver".
- IBM (booth #1018) - Discover how ScaleMP is working with IBM to offer a very large memory application - enabling a 4 socket system to grow up to 7.5 TB of memory. Also, see how vSMP Foundation for Cloud is being integrated with the IBM Platform HPC.
- Intel (booth #2601) - See how vSMP Foundation makes transitioning to the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor transparent.
ScaleMP experts will also be presenting in the following booths together with its partners:

Today's connected world is moving from devices towards things, what this means is that by using increasingly low cost sensors embedded in devices we can create many new use cases. These span across use cases in cities, vehicles, home, offices, factories, retail environments, worksites, health, logistics, and health. These use cases rely on ubiquitous connectivity and generate massive amounts of data at scale. These technologies enable new business opportunities, ways to optimize and automate, along with new ways to engage with users.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly by extending current technologies, products and networks. By 2020, Cisco estimates there will be 50 billion connected devices. Gartner has forecast revenues of over $300 billion, just to IoT suppliers. Now is the time to figure out how you'll make money – not just create innovative products. With hundreds of new products and companies jumping into the IoT fray every month, there's no shortage of innovation. Despite this, McKinsey/VisionMobile data shows "less than 10 percent of IoT developers are making enough to support a reasonably sized team....

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Can call centers hang up the phones for good? Intuitive Solutions did. WebRTC enabled this contact center provider to eliminate antiquated telephony and desktop phone infrastructure with a pure web-based solution, allowing them to expand beyond brick-and-mortar confines to a home-based agent model. It also ensured scalability and better service for customers, including MUY! Companies, one of the country's largest franchise restaurant companies with 232 Pizza Hut locations. This is one example of WebRTC adoption today, but the potential is limitless when powered by IoT.

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud without worrying about any lock-in fears.
