Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Chris Brooks. Cloud storage often serves as a content source for browser and mobile applications. This is typically achieved using application-issued, pre-authorized URLs which provide time-limited access directly to specific content without requiring a service to proxy this access. Azure Storage supports this pattern through the use of shared access signature tokens (SAS tokens). These tokens grant specific, time-limited access to storage objects by signing an authorization statement using the storage account access key, which is controlled by account administrators. While this approach provides the required limited access to clients, it sometimes represents an over-provisioning ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Aleksander Hougen; For a long time, Microsoft was king of the browser market following its victory over Netscape in the so-called browser wars of the ‘90s. The launch of Google Chrome in 2008 changed all this, though, and in 2012 Chrome eclipsed Internet Explorer in users.

Feed: Planet big data. Author: J.P. Gownder. Henry Ford’s old dictum — “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black” — doesn’t apply in the age of the customer. Meeting customer desires and needs is paramount for success, but it’s getting harder to do so. Whether that be in the form of increased personalization of services and products or in the form of rapidly shifting customer requirements, the bar grows higher every year. As a result, today’s leaders must build an organization that can flex, pivot, and adapt to customer ... Read More
