Management style, common error to avoid

Management style, common error to avoid Being a manager is a hard job, and it deals with cultural, economical, corporate issues and rules. But being a manager is indeed an important job usually performed with a not clear idea on what a manager should do. We can find Bad and Good managers, and most of the times they do not even realize where they stand in the good or bad dashboard, because usually nobody teach you what to be a manger means. Nevertheless there is a world of literature on management, so If someone really want to improve from naïve…

Security and Datacenters

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 03/03/2016 AI Tech Update, Tech Update in English

A Datacenter is a collection of several different elements, all working together to offer a platform to our digital needs. A datacenter is actually a mix of different elements, some logic some physical, it is just not a mere collection of elements but a complex systems with a lot of interactions. We can easily see inside the datacenter, cables, racks, servers, network equipments, storage units and so on but all are there (or should be there) for a purpose and are interconnected. A big part of a datacenter is not even visible; it is the software and data running in…

The IoT Files: is a small OS good for security?

The IoT Files: is a small OS good for security? NOTE: I will update this article with images later. One of the key aspects that should be addressed on IoT is the OS security. Many people rules this fear out, when talking about IoT, telling that IoT require so small OS that security isn’t really a problem, or a minor issue. It is a common idea that a smaller OS is less prone to security risks, and could not be more wrong. Security in IoT has in OS one of its Achilles’ heel, let me show why in a few…

The rightful way to make an employee unhappy

Management is a difficult art, management in big corporations is more difficult. Management in a corporation where the multicultural requirement is a need is even harder. We all know it and, to a certain extent, we have to deal with it. We can’t expect everything works well and right, and we have to show flexibility and we have to be open to change and embrace the new but… Let’s be real, no matter how much effort you put sometimes things are just not right. When the environment is too toxic probably is better to leave than hoping for a change. …

The IoT Files: Culture

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 02/29/2016 AI Tech Update, News From The World, Tech Update in English

The IoT Files: Culture In the previous IoT flies tried to outline what are, from my point of view, some key factor that have to be taken into account when talking about IoT. The last, but not the least, point I would like to put some notes is culture. Since IoT is something that will shape out way of life on many aspect, we have to convene that culture is a key element in order to positively and safely embrace it. Culture refers to billions of things, from language structure to literature, from how we share information to how…

The fine art to make impossible what is possible. (Or why many projects fail)

I know there is always a great distance between reality and management, Sometimes it happens to me to bump into a real good manager, but it is mostly an exception to the general rule than the norm. I would say that my personal opinion is that because nowadays management mostly is all but dealing with reality, with the prevalent culture that has moved from production to finance, we moved from the real economy to a virtual representation that does not take into account many factors because focused only on few parameters. The result is quite interesting since, from one side,…

The IoT Files – Business Models

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 02/21/2016 AI Tech Update, Tech Update in English

The IoT Files – Business Models Ok we talked about security, privacy and infrastructure in the last post Here we are. do we really think that IoT will work in the current business model environment? Well I have to tell you, probably it would not. The key factor of IoT will be if it will be able to generate revenue? the problem of revenue is related to the fact they should cover the infrastructure costs, in order to do so, since we already seen that infrastructure costs will be big, as well as security, privacy implication that have, also, a cost, selling devices will not be…

The IoT Files – Infrastructure

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 02/21/2016 AI Tech Update, Tech Update in English

The IoT Files – Infrastructure IoT is a complex argument, we already know it. In my previous introductory post I tried to explain the privacy and security concerns that IoT is bringing to us (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/iot-files-privacy-antonio-ieranò). Most of those concerns are intercnnected one to the other, but have also a strong relationship with the next point: the infrastructure needed. With Infrastructure I refer to a lot of things, that goes beyond the simply technical aspect, because a real IoT infrastructure goes way beyond the access protocol or the wireless. Wireless Outdoorsindoors Connections But since we named Access protocols and wireless stuffs,…

The IoT Files – Privacy

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 02/12/2016 AI Tech Update, Tech Update in English

In the previous post “The IoT Files – intro and security” I started to talk about Security issues related to the IoT world. Security imply a wide range of elements, one of them is Privacy. But since the nature of this topic is particularly sensitive I will talk about it separately. Privacy in the Internet of Things assume a different taste than we used to think. We should think again what IoT means. A lot of objects that are able to communicate and process data, equipped with sensors that make them aware of the neighborhood. Those sensors will be able to…
