Making Application Mobility for Test/Dev Across VMware Infrastructure and Public Clouds a Reality

NetApp and Microsoft have been working together for more than two decades to provide innovative solutions that make it simpler for healthcare customers to rapidly transform their technology operations. Microsoft and NetApp recognize healthcare organizations are considering large-scale migrations to the cloud to drive agility, improve developer productivity, and leverage CapEx improvements.

Hype in the market is one thing. Acceptance is another. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a lot of buzz, but are customers and businesses ready to embrace it? Join Pega’s Don Schuerman, CTO & VP of Product Marketing, and Dr. Rob Walker, VP of Decision Management & Analytics, as they discuss how to identify AI opportunities with your organization, practical ways in which AI can help win, retain, and grow your customer base, and how to help your customers understand and trust AI technology.

In contrast to humans, all decisions made by algorithms are systematic and based on user data, sensors, and algorithms. The question is, who is responsible for errors: the provider, the integrator, or the end-user? In most scenarios, responsibility is distributed amongst all stakeholders. Full autonomic systems (including self-driving technology) are not accepted by lawmakers, and a human supervisor is demanded as a backup. Thanks to behavioral science, research knows that humans can be influenced and manipulated by Artificial Intelligence. This is comparable to the animal kingdom in which an alpha rules the pack, but the beta is able to manipulate the alpha.

In today’s distributed application ecosystems, with various inter-dependencies and dynamic infrastructures, it is extremely challenging to detect and resolve application failures and performance slowdowns. This is especially true in a Microsoft .NET application stack. Developers, IT Operations Staffs and Site Reliability Engineers often get involved in long war room sessions to isolate the root cause of poor customer experience in the digital business service.
