Worth Reading: Hype to reality

Looking back, even long term industry veterans can’t remember so many ‘earth shattering’, ‘ground breaking’ and ‘industry changing’ solutions hitting the market, in such a short timeframe. SDN will revolutionize the way we manage networks, shortly after (or before) NFV will change the way we build them. And all of this will make 5G the savior of bandwidth hungry users, service providers struggling to find feasible business cases, and lonely fridges looking for ‘peers’ to talk to. All, of course, based on openness and full vendor interoperability. Why would anybody want to crash this party? —ECI

Apple may price the iPhone 8 at $1,000

Apple's upcoming iPhone 8 certainly won't be the priciest device to ever come out of Cupertino, but it will certainly be the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever released. Hardly a surprise, Apple is planning to pack a ton of advanced technology into its flagship 2017 iPhone. In addition to an edgeless OLED display, it's widely believed that the device will incorporate improved water resistance, facial recognition technology, support for what may be next-gen augmented reality, faster internals, wireless charging and more.So while the current entry-level iPhone 7 only costs about $649, some analysts are anticipating that the entry-level iPhone 8 will set users back a cool $1,000. That's a significant price increase to say the least, but many analysts believe that Apple will have no problem selling users on the idea of shelling out $1,000 for the company's state of the art smartphone.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Splunk on SOAPA (part 1)

I’ve written a lot about ESG’s security operations and analytics platform architecture (SOAPA). SOAPA is happening because enterprise organizations are surrounding SIEM with lots of other security analytics and operations tools to accelerate incident detection and response.

How Google’s cloud is ushering in a new era of SQL databases

In 2005 when Google was a $6.1 billion business, the database that underpinned the company’s primary cash cow – it’s AdWords online advertising platform that accounted for more than 95% of its revenue – was not keeping up with the growth of the company.Typically when a traditional database needs to scale, a process called sharding is used.
