Feed: AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog. Author: Phil de Valence. By Barry Tait, Director of Modernization and Cloud Strategies at Modern SystemsMainframe modernization has shifted to go well beyond simple cost-cutting measures. Mainframe legacy owners now expect additional gains such as conversion to maintainable object-oriented languages, shift of infrastructure to leverage elastic Amazon Web Services (AWS), and development of agile-based processes. Demand has driven increased adoption of rules-based automated conversion of legacy languages to Java or C#, or a longer-term strategic refactor to cloud-native architectures. Typical modernization projects see vendor-skilled resources use specialized migration tools, while customers focus primarily on ... Read More

A guest post by Brendan Walsh, Senior Vice President, Partner Relations, 1901 GroupAs federal fiscal year 2018 comes to an end and with budgets to spend and IT plans in place for 2019, the questions of “how and where do we start migrating mission-critical applications to the cloud?” still loom on many federal IT executives. Even with funding available and the need for IT modernization, these questions are tough because mission-critical applications often have substantial system entanglement challenges, inter-agency workflows, software-license restrictions, proprietary platform and vendor lock-in issues, and complicated budget ...

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Siyu Yang. As part of the AI for Earth team, I work with our partners and other researchers inside Microsoft to develop new ways to use machine learning and other AI approaches to solve global environmental challenges. In this post, we highlight a sample project of using Azure infrastructure for training a deep learning model to gain insight from geospatial data. Such tools will finally enable us to accurately monitor and measure the impact of our solutions to problems such as deforestation and human-wildlife conflict, helping us to invest in the most effective conservation efforts ...

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Jean-François Gagné; A colleague brought an article to my attention.  I did not see it on Planet MySQL where I get most of the MySQL news (or it did not catch my eye there).  As it is interesting replication stuff, I think it is important to bring it to the attention of the MySQL Community, so I am writing this short post.The surprising part for me is that it uses my 4-year-old work for online migration to GTID with MySQL 5.6.  This is a completely unforeseen use case of my work as I never thought that my ...
