Three Most Valuable Benefits that Encourage Companies to Adopt Serverless Architecture – Embedded Computing Design
Getting a glimpse of whats next in the technology globe is always fascinating. According to Flexeras RightScale 2019 State of the Cloud Report, serverless computing, for the second year in a row, is the top-growing cloud service with a 50% rise over 2018 (24 to 36% adoption). In fact, machine learning, container-as-a-service and IoT were the next fastest-growing cloud services after serverless.

Moreover, the table below shows some of the companies which have already adopted serverless technology to solve significant problems.
Based on the above information, it is evident that serverless architecture is being adopted at a faster rate than expected.
So, what is serverless?
To get this better, imagine a situation in the 2000s when deploying a service used to be a huge undertaking. To get everything up and running, developers and engineers had to build a server, set up the operating system and network, introduce a range of conditions and get ready for support, upgrade and maintenance in advance.
In the 2010s, developers started using virtual machines (VMs) provided by Google, Amazon and other suppliers of cloud services. The objective was to leverage their hardware and networking knowledge for better, safer and more reliable deployments of a service. However, VMs are still servers. The fact that they run in a virtualized form on the cloud does not eliminate the workload of heavy server management, regardless of who manages and maintains them.
Serverless computing guarantees a pay-as-you-go future with (nearly) no administration of the server. Serverless platforms take the code from developers and execute deployment functions behind-the-scenes, such as networking, maintenance and dependencies. Meaning developers need not to worry about provisioning, managing and keeping the servers up when deploying code. Once the code is submitted, everything else from instance selection, deployment, scaling, monitoring, fault tolerance to security patches and so on can be handled by serverless architecture.
Now that we have grasped what serverless is and why its gaining momentum, lets dive deeper.
Here are the three most valuable benefits due to which serverless is being adopted at a faster rate than expected:
Serverless relies on functions, or functions-as-a-service more specifically. Developers break down their applications into small, stateless pieces, which means they can run the underlying server without any context.
Any serverless platform enables developers to execute code without managing or provisioning servers. Platforms only charge for the compute power developers use. Therefore, developers can concentrate on their code and event triggers. In response to HTTP requests, events may include modifications in data or a table, using API gateways.
Let suppose, if a user requests a car on a ride-sharing app, it may activate the code written to get the car. Clicking the buy button on an app will initiate the buying process.
Serverless offers an event-driven environment. In other words, a developer has code and events. When the event arrives, a piece of infrastructure is allocated dynamically to execute the code. So, to provide the execution environment, you dont need to pre-position capitals or have any standing infrastructure. This is how serverless reduces operational complexity and boosts DevOps efficiencies.
Imagine if the post office could add and decommission shipping trucks at will, increase the size of its fleet as the number of mails spike (say, just before Mothers Day) and decrease its fleet for moments when fewer shipments are needed. Actually, thats what serverless apps can do.
Applications built with a serverless framework automatically scale as user base rises or utilization increases. Let suppose, a function must run in multiple instances. Even in such situations, using containers, the servers of the vendor will start, run and end as needed. Due to this, a serverless application can manage a substantial number of requests as well as a single request from a single user. On the other hand, a traditionally organized application can be overwhelmed by a sudden rise in usage with a set quantity of server rooms.
Further, with serverless architecture, your cost of execution with no traffic is zero and as you start to get more traffic you scale up. It is way more cost-effective at low levels of usage and way more scalable at high levels of usage, so it benefits at both ends of the scale.
Since the application is not restricted on an origin server, their code can be run from anyplace. Therefore, it is feasible to run functions on servers that are near to the end-user. This shortens latency because customer requests are no longer required to travel to an origin server all the way.
As discussed initially, serverless architectures usually have worldwide access points, which can make handling customers from every corner of the planet simpler. This allows you to scale without influencing your applications efficiency. Imagine, for instance, hosting a server on the West Coast in the traditional way. If an East Coast customer is using your app, they would have to send an HTTP request back and forth. With a serverless architecture, it would only go as far as the nearest serverless node. Thats it.
In this blog post, we have discussed the three most valuable benefits due to which serverless is being adopted at a faster rate than expected. The purpose is to present significant advantages. Hence, like many companies, you must also consider adopting this technology. Contact our technical experts to know more about serverless architectures and how it can benefit your business.

Three Most Valuable Benefits that Encourage Companies to Adopt Serverless Architecture - Embedded Computing Design
Year-end Experience with the future prediction from Leaders – APN News
Published on December 26, 2019
Mr. Rakesh Kharwal, Managing Director India/South Asia & ASEAN, Cyberbit:A year after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, yet another data leak took place at Facebook this year. About 540 million records of Facebook users were publicly exposed to Amazons cloud hosting service. To give you a picture, this is about 7% of the global population when a large chunk of it is yet to digitize. The losses due to such cyber crimes are expected to reach $6 trillion by 2021 according to a report by Cybersecurity Ventures. This is when almost 60% of organizations have unfilled cybersecurity positions owing to the skill gap and 77% of leaders believe that an infrastructure breach can take place with far-reaching consequences. The need of the hour is to quickly fill this void by adopting next-generation technologies such as cybersecurity simulation & training platform to equip our nation with the required skillsets and thereby generating over 1 million jobs for the countrys youth.In a nutshell, 2020 could turn out to be a year of unbridled opportunities for India if it is able to successfully align itself in this landscape.
Mr. Piyush KumarFounder and CEO, Rooter:2019 was a great year for the Sports industry in India with a busy cricket calendar including the ICC Cricket World Cup in England for ODIs. A massive number of sports fans chose to consume their favorite sports events online, especially on their smartphones. As a result, the Indian smartphone market added nearly 100mn new users taking overall internet user base to 600mn in 2019. This presented a huge opportunity for all content platforms to engage and onboard new users. As consumption for sporting events online grewaround 50%in2019, OTT platform Hotstar engaged more than 300mn users, whereas Cricbuzz had more than 100mn users consuming its content. Sports Community Platform, Rooter also pivoted from being a gaming and content provider to a content-based community platform in 8 languages in 2019.
We identified our core audience and their needs thereby focusing on content as a core product feature to create the community. We also launched the first-ever Audio/Video user-generated tool in Sports, giving wings to millions of fans to express themselves. The user base of Rooter grew by 350% this year with more engagement and revenue base. 2020 is again lined up with a busy sports calendar starting with IPL, Euro 2020, Olympics and T20 World Cup. We want to grow bigger creating a strong value proposition for sports fans and create our own leadership space in sports content category in India.
Mr.Eric Zhou, EVP UNISOC:Given the recent developments, it is likely that theyearahead will see India making several quantum leaps. To begin with, a large-scale 5G rollout is likely to come to passin2020, with chipset manufacturers, smartphone brands, and telecom operators taking a page out of the playbooks of 5G nations such as the China and US. This 5G adoption will also increase the network bandwidthinnew-age chipsets, powering a rapid increaseinthe number of everyday use-cases for these cutting-edge technologies such as AI, machine learning, and edge computing.
Mr. Aakrit Vaish, CEO, Haptik:Conversational AI world is now driven by an entirely new concept of Intelligent Virtual Assistant solutions (IVAs), and 2020 is the year when they finally burst onto the scene.Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVAs) are getting smarter and their increasing capability of voice assistants is accelerating their adoption in the global business landscape further. While Alexa is reported to have 50,000 skills and is used by 3500+ brands, Googles voice support today supports more than 30 languages. Globally, IVAs have contributed to increased sales by about 67%, and have initiated 26% of all sales transactions. As per a recent report by Accenture 75%, executives believe they risk going out of business if they dont scale
We enter 2020, with an ever-quickening pace of life needs solutions that support diverse needs for people with short attention spans. IVA solutions have evolved to fill this need gap, and have finally reached a critical point in their acceptance and implementation.From the pace of adoption of IVAs by organizations, It becomes obvious that enterprises are not trying them outanymore, rather they are actively looking at them as necessary drivers of better ROI, improved customer engagement, operational efficiency, productivity boosters and an active facilitator towards achieving other organizational objectives. 2020 is the year when IVAs will become a common feature across the global entrepreneurial ecosphere, implemented as a norm rather than a novelty.

Building Tech Solutions And Giving Back – Forbes
As we close out the year, I wanted to share Pat Spencers story about working outside within communities. Pat Spencer, Senior Director of Strategic Solutions at Intervision, not only focuses on strategically leading the business he works for, but also the community around him. To accompany his successful 25-year career, Pat takes serving his community personally, placing extensive focus on human empowerment through talent incubation of abuse victims, students and service members.
Shot of a Working Data Center With Rows of Rack Servers. Led Lights Blinking and Computers are ... [+] Working.
InterVision Systems is based in Santa Clara, California, but Pat is in Indianapolis, Indiana. A few of the organizations hes involved with are below:
Mary Juetten: What problem are you solving?
Pat Spencer: InterVision is a strategic service provider focused on business outcomes-based technology solutions. We aim to help IT leaders transform their business by solving for the right technology, deployed on the right premise, and managed through the right model to fit their unique demands and long-term goals.
Juetten: Who are your customers and how do you find them?
Spencer: Our customers are enterprise organizations that understand the value of having a trusted technology partner who provides recommendations based on experience. Our customers come from all industries such as legal, financial services, manufacturing and healthcare and the one thing they all have in common is wanting an IT partner that will take responsibility for being an extension of their team and helping them solve problems.
Juetten: Who makes up your team (InterVision as a whole)?
Spencer: I currently am responsible for managing revenue for InterVisions East Region and Public Sector. These two diverse teams are made up of an experienced sales team that works collaboratively with a group of Solution Architects, System Engineers and Onboarding Specialists to design, build and support the various solutions we deliver to our clients.
Juetten: How did past philanthropic experience help you grow as a businessman?
Spencer: If I had to sum this up in one word, it would be humility. I have lived a blessed life and learned early that we should be thankful for what we have, no matter the circumstances, and show compassion toward others. That has translated into a desire to help others, especially those with barriers and challenges in their lives that they ultimately had no control over.
Juetten: How do you measure success and what is your favorite success story?
Spencer: In my opinion, success is rooted in your personal achievement compared against what you set out to do and if you stayed true to yourself while doing it. Its not about what you become, its about who you become that establishes your true success. One of my favorite success stories is a lady that had gone through Coburn Place as a resident, which means she was abused and needed to find shelter for herself and her children. We were doing our Holiday Home party where we provide Christmas trees, ornaments and other holiday decorations to the residents to have for their apartments. She came in with a pink t-shirt, her hair was pink and she came up to me asking for pink lights for her Christmas tree. She had a great smile and her positive attitude was contagious. I asked her why she wanted pink lights and she said her cancer was gone and she wanted everything to be pink for the Holidays. For any person to have gone through what she did and to have that positive attitude and outward happiness to me, defines success.
Juetten: Provide some success examples from community work.
Spencer:
Juetten: What's the long-term vision for the company?
Spencer: Our long term vision is to be a nationally recognized Strategic Services Provider, which means we are using the experience we have in hardware, software, public cloud, cloud hosting, security, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, managed services and disaster recovery to improve an organizations ability to use technology as a competency.
Juetten: How are you using technology to give back to the community?
Spencer: As mentioned above, this would be Teacher TechConnect. Focusing on what we know about our industry and using it to educate the next generation through their teachers will provide more connection between what the kids are learning and a potential career in technology. We especially are working toward keeping more kids in the Indianapolis area as our tech needs continue to outpace the current number of students going into a technology career. And, one of the key messages is to ensure the students realize its not all about a 4-year degree. We speak to them about all options after high school including going directly into the workforce, 2-year programs and the military as potential options and have specific tech leaders speak to their career path to help reinforce that its not just one size fits all.
An inspiring story to end 2019 and the decade. Best wishes to all for a safe and happy new year. #onwards.

Will 2020 Be the Year of LoRa Networks? – Embedded Computing Design
LoRa networks resolve the age-old wireless dilemma in which engineers had to either choose longer range or lower power consumption. LoRa allows designers to maximize range and minimize power usage and thus reduce the cost of additional repeaters. So, millions of LoRaWAN sensors are under deployment for smart grid, smart metering, and asset tracking applications.
The LoRaWAN protocol is becoming a popular vehicle for connecting things of the Internet of Things (IoT) across distances of 10 miles or more while keeping batteries alive for many years. Its even allowing independent designers and hobbyists to create connectivity solutions for tracking, positioning, metering, and many other applications (Figure 1).
Figure 1. LoRa is quickly emerging as a cheap connectivity vehicle for a variety of IoT applications.
By the close of 2019, suppliers of LoRa solutions have streamlined the availability of the key building blocks, broadly segmented into LoRa nodes or end devices, LoRa gateways, and LoRa network and application servers. And how they are simplifying the creation of long-range wireless networks for IoT and M2M applications serving smart cities, energy management, building automation, and more.
This article will expand on the key building blocks and how these components, along with the rapidly emerging LoRa-centric ecosystem, simplify the overall design process, accelerate the deployment of LoRa nodes and gateways, and seamlessly connect them with the LoRa network servers.
The LoRa nodes or end devices usually operate in two modes: sleep mode when the node is idle and operation mode for wireless data transmission. And multiple sensors can be connected to a LoRa node to address power and space constraints.
An array of pre-integrated solutions allows developers to create LoRa nodes for a variety of IoT applications in areas ranging from smart agriculture to industrial automation to security and surveillance.
The LoRa end-device design, for instance, is now aided by highly integrated system-in-package (SiP) solutions. Take the example of Microchips SAM R34/35 SiPs, which allow designers to create remote IoT nodes while employing certified reference designs and interoperability with major LoRaWAN gateway and network suppliers.
Figure 2. The block diagram of SAM R34 for LoRa end-device design.
The SAM R34/35 SiPs comprise an ultra-low-power 32-bit MCU, sub-GHz RF transceiver, and software stack (Figure 2). The UHF transceiver supports LoRa as well as FSK modulation schemes; FSK modulation ensures support for IEEE 802.15.4g, WiSUN, and legacy proprietary networks. The SiP device can transmit maximum power of 20 dBm.
These nodes feature sophisticated monitoring functions to serve specific application needs and require minimum design effort to interface with LoRa gateways. Moreover, the hardware solutions feature network drivers and reference designs for improved RF performance.
LoRa gateways act as packet forwarders to pass the data coming from LoRa nodes to reach LoRaWAN network servers. They usually comprise baseband transceivers and sub-GHz RF front-end, and like LoRa sensor nodes, they are available as modules. That simplifies the development of gateways with out-of-box compatibility for both privately managed LoRa networks and public domain LoRa infrastructure for broader coverage footprint.
The LBAA0ZZ1 series LoRa Pico Gateway module from Murata is a case in point. The LoRaWAN gateway module is made up of four key building blocks. First, there are two RF front-end I/Q transceivers from Semtech, and these SX1257 transceivers process packets from remotely dispersed endpoints with the help of a Semtech SX1308 transceiver concentrator.
Next, STM32F401, an Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller from STMicroelectronics, handles packet forwarding, communication with the application host controller, and the modules power management functions. Finally, an RF front-end multi-chip module from Skyworks provides antenna matching, receiver pre-amplifier, and final stage transmitter functions.
Figure 3. An overview of the hierarchical architecture of LoRaWAN communication infrastructure where network servers, usually cloud services, connect to gateways and then reroute network traffic to application servers hosting specific IoT applications.
The gateway modules also come integrated with LoRaWAN protocol stack, which allows designers to easily and quickly connect with LoRa networks mushrooming around the globe. Then there are cloud-based software and services that further simplify the creation of LoRa-based IoT applications.
And that brings us to the final piece of the LoRa design story: ecosystem.
The LoRa development chain includes gateway and end-node boards, firmware, and tools. The node and gateway boards usually come with an antenna and on-board debugger. One of the major developments in LoRas ecosystem domain is the launch of the Firmware Update Over The Air (FUOTA) specifications from LoRa Alliance.
The FUOTA specifications simplify the application-layer updates as well as RF stack updates to connected devices in the field. So far, LoRa Alliance has published three FUOTA specifications relating to application layer clock synchronization for time synchronization, remote multicast setup for sending messages to groups of end devices, and fragmented data block transport for data-file splitting.
STMicro, one of the early entrants into the LoRa market, has upgraded its software support package to accommodate the latest FUOTA specifications, allowing LoRa developers using endpoint devices with STM32 microcontrollers to take advantage of new firmware versions. The I-CUBE-LRWAN software package (Figure 4) includes the LoRaWAN stack with hardware abstraction layers and sample application code for the companys STM32L0, STM32L1, and STM32L4 microcontrollers.
Figure 4. I-CUBE-LRWAN software package includes a set of libraries and application examples for MCUs acting as LoRa end devices.
Likewise, on its LoRa-based modem, Murata is integrating Semtechs LoRa Cloud Device & Application Services, a set of features aiming to simplify the provisioning of devices across LoRaWAN-based networks. The production-ready LoRa-based hardware platforms and associated cloud services allow developers to focus on IoT applications without worrying about underlying radio connectivity.
The year 2019 has witnessed a healthy adoption of LoRa devices and RF technology. And the quickly maturing design ecosystem could be a harbinger of LoRas credentials for an enabler of IoT-as-a-service in 2020.

Cloud Hosting Service Market Size Will Grow Profitably In Upcoming Estimation, Challenges And Future Forecast 2025 – Bulletin Line
Cloud Hosting Service Market Size Will Grow Profitably In Upcoming Estimation, Challenges And Future Forecast 2025 is the latest addition to Researchmoz.us industry research reports collection.
Cloud hosting is where your site is stored on multiple servers, which lets you pull resources from a variety of different places. This makes cloud hosting a very scalable, reliable, and flexible type of hosting, perfect for sites that experience hikes and dips in things like traffic. Note that there are different types of cloud hosting. Traditional web hosts, such as DreamHost and HostGator, offer cloud hosting packages that are priced similarly as their other web hosting packages (typically in the Shared or VPS range). These small business-friendly cloud hosting solutions are what were primarily focused on in this roundup.
Cloud hosting is great for anyone who needs flexibility. Think of your plan like a pay-as-you-go mobile: you decide your own resource limits each month, and pay accordingly.

BP selects AWS over Azure for cloud-first strategy and climate ambitions – Diginomica
BP started its cloud journey back in 2013, moving its internet presence onto AWS. But it was in 2016 when the company made a strategic decision to accelerate its push into cloud by declaring that it would become a cloud-first company.
Stewart Fry, global VP of enterprise IT&S at BP told diginomica at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas:
We knew when we did that, that it was a bold statement. We had to ask ourselves if we really knew what that meant, and the main aim was we wanted to stop adding things onto on-premise infrastructure, and as part of that we decided to exit our mega data centres in Europe, US and Singapore. We did the economics on this being a key enabler, and thats where we built on our relationship with AWS.
The company is about to exit its first datacentre in Houston, Texas, by working with both AWS and Microsoft Azure. The next step is to work on shifting away from its European datacentres, which are its most complex, with its biggest workloads. Fry and his team believed that because these were the largest datacentres that BP operates globally, hosting data from across all of BPs businesses, it would make more sense to partner with either one of AWS or Azure to deliver the benefits it wants.
BP held discussions at the start of the year to decide which of the two companies were best placed from a technology perspective. AWS came out on top.
However, the technical details werent the only considerations for BP when assessing AWS vs. Azure. Fry explained that theres also another challenge for companies like BP to contend with. He claimed that the world is going to need 30% more energy, which is driven by increased prosperity, a decrease in poverty, coupled with further population growth. BP needs to not only help provide this energy but do so while simultaneously balancing and reducing carbon emissions.
Fry said:
We asked, how do we enable the technology we need to reduce our emissions, whilst improving our products and creating a new low carbon business? But also, how does IT get ourselves into a far more carbon neutral position and partnership?
When we spoke to AWS, one of their big ambitions is to help tackle their own emissions - where datacentres are a big part of that.
As part of the deal, BP would migrate all data and 900 business-critical applications hosted on its European data centres to AWS. In addition, BP would supply AWS with 170 MW of renewable energy a year what it claims is the equivalent of powering 125,000 homes each year. AWS is aiming to become fully reliant on renewable energy by 2030, and the project will mean that BP will provide it with wind and solar capacity in Spain and Sweden over the next decade to supply energy to Amazons fulfilment network in Europe and AWS datacentres.
Fry explained:
It came together really well, how AWS wants to work with us, as well as BPs ambitions. Weve created a circular relationship, where it would benefit all of us.
Fry said that BP was not keen on using tools that extend the on-premise world as part of the migration to cloud; in other words it did not want to go down the hybrid path.
We have places we have to keep data locally, for legal reasons. But we deliberately tried not to create a path of least resistance, which would be to just extend the datacentres. This was a big part of our business case to eliminate the datacentres, not just from a cost perspective but the massive potential for enablement.
This meant every application BP migrated has undergone some level of transformation and so companies like VMware that would help companies to lift and shift from an on-premise world to the cloud did not make sense for BP.
He said:
We would have just ended up with a pretty inefficient version of our on-premises environment in the cloud with tools like VMware. We wanted to get some form of transformation and benefit as a minimum for each application, so weve moved everything up on the OS level to the highest we could. From a database perspective, where possible, weve moved off of proprietary stuff onto open sourced options. Or moved things to AWS RDS or Aurora. In other cases, weve completely reengineered the applications.
By shutting the data centre down, the company has managed to rationalise 30% of its applications. The hope for global energy giant is that it can now start using more cloud services, including machine learning, analytics, storage and security.
The latest deal expands on BPs relationship with AWS. AWS has already helped to shift specific BP applications to the cloud to quickly adapt to market changes.
In its downstream business, BP had previously used AVEVA United Supply Chain to optimise its refineries, and this was all on-premise.
The application had required BP to spend time using Excel among other tools for complex calculations. In total, these products would require BP to spend seven hours on calculations. Now, BP has deployed AVEVA Unified Supply Chain and all of the associated data into AWS, meaning the same calculations can be performed in less than four minutes.
The company has also migrated 32 of its SAP production environments to AWS, and it has moved off of proprietary databases onto some SAP IEC databases as a result of it now getting a 30% better response time from applications.
Fry said that there is still work to do to pull data from all of the companys applications from across its business, as these are still locked up in siloes. But the potential, now that it has shifted to AWS, is there.
Fry explained:
Thats why were pulling it together into a data lake and that will help us to improve the ability for our customers such as those coming to our 19,000 retail stores every day. Another use case is taking data out of the telemetry of the plant and real-time closed loop responses to either malfunctioning kit, or responding to weather patterns and conditions, or it could be from a trading perspective pulling together a whole variety of data sets we couldnt do previously, so we see opportunities everywhere.
