The Rise of Hybrid Cloud: Redefining the Business Functionsby PCQ Bureau April 21, 2016 0 comments
– Girish Gupta, Director- Technical Services, India Subcontinent Citrix
Cloud storage adoption has seen tremendous growth over the past few years and has become a fundamental requirement for IT decision makers and companies small or big. It is redefining how a business functions and as per IDC predictions, will continue to do so all the way to 2020. Historically, many companies have been apprehensive to shift to a cloud based model given the security concerns associated with traditional dependency on a single vendor. Fortunately, there is a new model that is gaining prominence amongst companies—Hybrid Cloud.
Hybrid Cloud uses a combination of an organizations on-premise private cloud and public cloud services. This allows both infrastructures to operate independently of each other, at the same time offering benefits of multiple deployment models.
Considered as the best of both worlds in computing, Hybrid Cloud is an environment where a private cloud is assembled to handle the standard workload, with burst compute offloaded to the public cloud. This translates to a long-term budget-friendly arrangement as opposed to traditional modes.
This technology is making headway across various sectors and industries of all sizes. Hybrid cloud is being deployed in the healthcare sector, as it simplifies the data exchange process between healthcare providers and insurance companies. Similarly, the financial sector is also largely dependent on hybrid for pushing trade orders and running analytics on trades. Law firms and retail firms also use the hybrid cloud model for reasons including safeguarding information against the potential loss due to theft, hardware failure etc.
Why going Hybrid is beneficial?
Cost Benefits: With the adoption of Hybrid cloud, businesses can reduce their overall cost of ownership and improve cost efficiency. Since a hybrid cloud uses both private and public, it allows users to enjoy significant economies of scale without exposing imperative data to third-party vulnerabilities. By using this model, businesses have to pay for the extra compute time only when these resources are needed and not on a constant basis.
Security: The hybrid cloud model helps address security and compliance issues. By using this model, businesses are able to maintain in-house storage for sensitive operations. In fact, many of them are of the view that the data stored in the cloud could actually prove to be more secure than that on a server. Organizations have the option to carry our critical operations on their private cloud, while using the public cloud to carry out heavy processing tasks.
Direct accessibility through on-premise infrastructure: A hybrid cloud model provides direct accessibility due to on-premise private infrastructure and is not pushed through the public internet. As compared to public cloud services, this model considerably reduces latency, access time and provides contingency against internet failure. The on-ground computational infrastructure supports the average business workload while providing the option to leverage the public in case the workload exceeds the computational power of the private cloud component.
Still not convinced? Enter, Hybrid Cloud management
While many organizations are shifting to due to its various benefits, many are still apprehensive because of perceived privacy issues associated with it. To address this, hybrid cloud solution providers are offering cloud-based management platforms that radically accelerates how IT can securely deliver the apps and data people need to do their jobs, while simplifying the process of managing workspace resources. Such platforms are being created for businesses that face incredible pressure from the explosion of native mobile apps, cloud-based web applications, and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives that are straining conventional IT infrastructure to its breaking point. Additionally, these companies are offering a comprehensive portfolio of workspace services available as a subscription.
More and more companies that are looking for smarter ways to optimize their IT spending are considering hybrid cloud as a game changer presenting businesses with a wealth of opportunities. Gradually, businesses are moving towards more adaptive technologies like cloud computing to deliver a host of services with agility, in a secure and cost effective manner. IT decision makers have bypassed the questions raised regarding moving workloads to cloud and observed that the hybrid cloud is capable of providing the same and sometimes even better security for sensitive data and applications.
Hybrid cloud brings tremendous value to an organization- so much so that leading providers of hybrid cloud technologies have geared up and acquired the expertise to ensure that aspects like security are in place to safeguard the information on cloud. Adopting hybrid cloud can free a company's valuable IT resources, make IT budgets available for innovation in business and make data available all the time. So when are you shifting to hybrid cloud?

Crocus biflorus subsp. nubigena - plant of the month march 2017
The common, mostly spring-flowering Crocus biflorus group is a taxonomic nightmare. The name C. biflorus dates back a long way and is mentioned in Philip Millers Gardeners Dictionary of 1768. At the time of writing, Brian Mathew recognised 14 subsp of Crocus biflorus in his Monograph The Crocus( Batsford), now there are around 23 named to date (Ruksans). The subsp. nubigena is a most attractive plant, favouring rocky places in the open or in sparse scrub in western and south-western Turkey.
The images shown here are of plants growing at Gothenburg Botanical Gardens, where a comprehensive collection of Crocus biflorus and its subsp. is held. 'Nubigena' means 'of the clouds' and refers to the mountain-top habitat of its original collection which was made by William Herbert in 1843. Closely related to subsp. crewei but differing in having narrower leaves that are more numerous.
As can be seen from the image, the most striking feature about this Crocus is its large blackish-maroon anthers which split at dehiscence to reveal a golden-yellow pollen. The flower colour can be white through to light violet with attractively dark striped backs to the outer petals. Throat colour can also vary - from light to dark yellow in the best forms, with yellow to light orange style branches. Cultivation is best in pots or a bulb frame where moisture can be better controlled during the dormant summer months.

Selena Gomez Goes Shirtless for 'V' Magazine a la Gaga
The year 2015 is turning Selena Gomez into a new woman. She's letting go of her younger self and stepping outside of her comfort zone – and out of her clothes.
The 22-year-old posed topless in her latest photoshoot with V magazine. Her half-nude photo was a step in the right direction, as many think she's reaching new heights with her maturity level. But she still has a long way to go until this baby-faced Disney star reaches adulthood. Her cover photo is actually comparable to Lady Gaga's, as they both took the opportunity to make a big "reveal" on the cover.
RT for Selena Gomez Fave for Lady Gaga pic.twitter.com/t0FlJFzAD2 — Selena Gomez (@fentyselenas) February 17, 2015
In an interview with her former Spring Breakers co-star, James Franco, Gomez opened up about her state of depression. According to Entertainment News, Gomez stated:
"There were a few months where I was a little depressed, where I wouldn't leave [my home] as much. I think I drove myself crazy for a little bit. It was just easier to say, 'Hey, do you mind running to the grocery store and picking some stuff up? I don't want to get photographed.'"
It's here! Stay tuned to @vmagazine for moreeee next month! and thank you @carlynecerfdedudzeele @inezvinoodh and @jamesfrancotv A photo posted by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) on
Being in the public eye isn't easy, especially when dealing with a highly publicized relationship with Justin Bieber. Even though Selena doesn't refer to him by name, she does talk about her "first love."Although she doesn't regret a thing, Selena states:
"I think the next time [I have a boyfriend] will be much different … which will definitely not be anytime soon. That's a growing up kind of thing. I was 18 years old, and it was my first love. The older I get, I'm guarding certain things more. When you're young and you're being told so many different things … it almost felt like all we had was each other, like the world was against us, in a way. It was really weird but it was incredible. I would never take it back in a million years. You live and you learn, you know?"
@vmagazine A photo posted by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) on
"I'm super stoked that I've got some bumps on me, some scars, some bruises. I actually really love that. And I don't mean that in a morbid way. I think this year is going to be incredible. I feel the best I've ever felt in my life."
Gomez has a lot to look forward to in 2015. Rumor has it she is releasing new music produced with her unofficial boyfriend Zedd, and will have a star role in Franco's upcoming film, In Dubious Battle, based off of Steinbeck's novel. This is an exciting chapter for Gomez – new mentality and a fresh new start.
This new PDA pic of @SelenaGomez & @Zedd is EVERYTHING, and yes, it involves biting. http://t.co/Ta59KCRTo0 pic.twitter.com/bAKzU7xGdq
— HollywoodLife (@HollywoodLife) February 17, 2015
Selena admits she cannot pronounce Zedd's real name! Check out the video below.
Check out Selena Gomez's biggest reveal ever! Is this a step in the right direction?

I personally don't celebrate Christmas (any holiday actually, my household has unanimously voted and decided that our respective birthdays are holidays, if Columbus can be celebrated for starting the semi-genocide of Native peoples we can make our birthdays holidays), not for religious reasons I'm just not interested in participating in a man made holiday that promotes excessiveness and materialism.
Don't get me wrong I don't impose my opinion of the holiday on anyone else, if you celebrate great for you. I just don't understand why I'm interrogated when asked my plans for the holidays after I respond that I don't celebrate said holidays. Most people don't know what to say when I give my answer so one of two things happen, there is an awkward pause or an elaborate explanation made by the other party explaining to me why they choose to celebrate. As if my choice to not celebrate makes them feel like they need to supply me with justification for why they choose to celebrate. Do you boo boo, I didn't ask you what your plans were or if you celebrated why must I receive your Christmas background story?
Although I don't celebrate there are aspects of the holiday that I do enjoy, people are kinder, caring and giving during the holiday season, which makes me wish Christmas could be like four or five times a year. I enjoy the music, and the decorations, for the most part I enjoy the holiday without actually participating.
One thing I do wish would change about Christmas more than anything is the "farming" and killing of trees so that your gifts have a decorative ornament to chill underneath. Why not opt out of the tree and use your gifts to make an abstract "tree". You can't tell me your family members are gonna be mad if they come downstairs on Christmas morning and see a tree made of gifts. That shit would be fly! Clean up would be easy, because all of the gift boxes get recycled, no leaving a dead rotting tree on the curb to be ignored by the garbage men for three weeks.
Anywhooooo…. I hope ya'll enjoy the shit out of the holiday, be nice to each other, drink eggnog, eat glittered sprinkled sugar cookies, spread cheer and all that jazz!

(post) and FLDT (floodlights). Each rheostat is rotated clockwise from OFF to BRT to brighten
the lights to full intensity at the full clockwise position. When moving the INST rheostat out of
the OFF detent the annunciator lights, master caution light, wheels light, and AOA indexer will
Console Lights
The left and right side console panels in both cockpits are backlighted by individual panel
interior lights and left and right side console floodlights located on each sidewall. The interior
lighting is controlled by a rheostat labeled LTS under the CONSOLE group label on the interior
lights control panel, and the floodlights are controlled by the rheostat labeled FLDT. Both
rheostats control the lighting from OFF to BRT by clockwise movement of the respective
rheostat. Full clockwise rotation to the BRT position gives full intensity.
Utility Lights
Each cockpit is provided with a special multipurpose utility light. This light is designed to
selectively provide either red or white illumination utilizing a narrow spotlight beam or a wider
floodlight beam. Attached by a curl cord, this moveable light has two snap-in permanent
mounting bases on the right sidewall and may be detached by simply pulling the light straight out
of the base. Selection of white spot, white flood, red flood, or red spot is possible. The color
may be changed on some models by unlocking a lock on top of the light while turning the front
section and on newer models by a slide type switch. The light has a dimming rheostat for
controlling beam intensity and an override push-button which provides instantaneous full lamp
brilliance regardless of rheostat setting.
Circuit Breaker Panel Lights
The circuit breaker panels in either cockpit may be individually backlighted as desired with a
two-position circuit breaker type switch on the circuit breaker panels. The switches are labeled
PANEL LTS and control the interior lighting on the respective circuit breaker panel. These
lights are constant brilliance lights; therefore, no dimming feature is provided.
The exterior lighting system consists of the landing, navigation, and anticollision lights. All
exterior lighting is DC-powered and controlled from the front cockpit ONLY (with the exception
of the landing gear external position indicators, which are activated by the landing gear system).
Landing Lights
The left and right landing lights, located on the main landing gear struts, are individually
operated by two circuit breaker type switches labeled LANDING LIGHTS, LEFT/RIGHT, ON
and OFF, located directly below the landing gear handle on the left subpanel of the front cockpit

The Top 3 Fitness Products to Add Style to Your Home
Could these innovative fitness products make your home look BETTER?
Many people believe that home fitness products are good for one thing and one thing only, coat racks (just kidding). People usually regulate fitness product purchases into two categories:
#1 I DON'T WANT this fitness product, but I know I need it to get ready for summer, keep from having a heart attack, impress so-and-so, etc.
#2 I WANT this fitness product because the pretty people on the TV told me it will make me look incredible in 15 minutes a week.
The truth is that enhancing your health and fitness level requires time, effort, and patience, but you don't want to hear THAT! So, I will indulge you with another use for these items that you don't really want, but ultimately need to buy: they will look awesome in your home.
As long as you're not actually planning to use them (until you grow up and realize you should for your own good), these innovative fitness products will adorn your home, bringing an element of class, sophistication, and a false sense of commitment to health and longevity. These are things that everyone likes to have (minus the "false sense" part).
With that in mind, I bring you a list of the most innovative fitness products that could brighten your home (and hopefully enhance your health at some point).
MOST AFFORDABLE | Evo Fitness Bike Model ix
Product: Evo ix | Price: $1,299 | Company: Relay Fitness Group | Find out more: Click Here
The Evo ix is the home fitness product of the Evo Fitness Bike product line. Created and styled to look and function different than any other indoor cycle, this fitness product features a completely internal beltess/chainless drive system and flywheel and a unique frame that sways like a road bike being pedaled up a hill.
AFFORDABLE | WaterRower Classic Rowing Machine
Product: WaterRower Classic | Price: $1,495 | Company: WaterRower
There have been several new products that feature an elegant, earthly touch of style by adding wood elements, the WaterRower Classic is one of those fitness products. This home fitness product is hand crafted in solid American Black Walnut and finished with three coats of Danish Oil, giving it a deep lustre. But don't make the mistake of thinking it's a primitive piece of workout gear! It also features the S4 Performance Monitor which will give you all the information you need for an awesome home workout.
VERY EXPENSIVE | Nova Boulder Trainer
Product: Nova Boulder Trainer | Price: ??? | Company: Lunar Europe
While this seems to be more of a design prototype than a finished fitness product, it still offers a radically different approach to the home gym. It features a pattern of cut outs that are lit up with LEDs to guide you through a course. The course can be set with a smart phone. No price is available right now, but plan on spending lots and lots of money.

Enterprise support and awards
'Try IT' awards
We have recently teamed up with Student Hubs to provide startup funding opportunities for enterprising students and recent graduates. The funding takes the form of so-called 'Try It' awards.
'Try It' awards offer funding of up to £500 for individuals to try out their business ideas. This might mean finding out if their idea is viable, learning more about what is needed and trying the project on a small scale first. The award provides an opportunity for individuals not yet used to managing large sums of money or planning larger projects to take the first steps towards starting their own project and gaining the skills needed to run it. The funding enables individuals to progress at their own pace with the right support to develop the entrepreneurial skills they will require to, in some cases, take on larger projects.
In previous years, Winchester was able to award external funding to staff, students and recent graduates in the form of start-up awards for (social) enterprise projects, the 'Try It' and 'Do It' Awards. Many of our award holders are inspiring role models for other students, and are also working with the University's Widening Participation team to inspire future students.
Winchester was shortlisted for the 'University New to Social Enterprise' award; it was the most successful university in the Southwest in terms of numbers of applications and awards and was used as a national research case study. Find out more and how to apply
