At the end of a long weekend without any kids, my husband and I decided to watch the movie, Interstellar. In the flick, Matthew McConaughey is a farmer/engineer/NASA pilot who must go off into space and try to save the future of our species. Like most movies that include something about farming, there were more than a few errors. The central office has long been the center of gravity for most business IT organizations. That's where the data center is, and where most of IT's staff works. But those personnel and systems are increasingly asked to support users at remote and branch offices (ROBOs). These locations are crucial because that's often where business happens. That's creating difficulties for IT professionals who are discovering that supporting ROBOs is expensive, resource-intensive and increases risk of data theft or loss. We humans have become quite adept at modifying and upgrading tools and machines to make our lives easier. Consider the car enthusiast who goes under the hood to add more horsepower. Or the video gamer who opens the PC to install more memory and a new graphics card. And now we're starting to move beyond just tinkering with individual systems to overhauling entire business processes. The opportunity to monetize software is one of the key drivers for those companies producing solutions. In an always-on economy where users have access to apps through a number of different channels, the monetization process within software licensing is changing. As the process becomes more complex and the challenges continue to mount, having a proven partner by your side might be worth consideration. We have at our disposal an ever-growing array of devices, applications and collaboration platforms to make our lives easier and more productive. On our personal time as consumers, we use these technologies to shop for clothes, order a car service, manage our finances and perform just about any other task in just minutes. No phone calls, no paper forms to fill out, no emails. And we can do everything in real-time. So why does today's workplace lack many of these advances? Why is our work life unable to keep up our personal lives? Are we actually becoming less productive? Earlier this summer, Docker held the DockerCon event at which it talked about enhancements to its solutions intended to make them better suited for production environments. Some of these enhancements were in the security realm. This week, however, Docker Cloud experienced a 12-hour outage. Here's what Docker and a few other sources had to say about it.
