Data Engineering 4.0
Digitale Systeme und Infrastrukturen werden in der Regel gemeinsam oder wie im öffentlichen Sprachgebrauch üblich, „geteilt“ genutzt.Das gilt sowohl für die Systeme und Infrastrukturen selbst, als auch für Daten, die häufig als das Öl der Digitalisierung bezeichnet werden.In industriellen Nutzungen sind Daten in den meisten Fällen eine geschäftskritische Ressource und können nicht, wie im privaten Nutzungsumfeld, bedingungslos und uneigennützig Dritten überlassen werden. Dennoch ist das Teilen von Daten für industrielle Anwendungen gewünscht und häufig auch zwingend notwendig, aber ebenso häufig unzulässig und gefährlich. Genauso zwingend wie das Teilen von Daten ist in industriellen Anwendungen das nutzungsgerechte und passgerechte Zusammenführen von Daten unterschiedlicher Bedeutung zu Daten-Konglomeraten.Um die digitale Souveränität gemeinsam berechtigter Nutzer von Daten gewährleisten zu können, muss zur Bewältigung dieser beiden Aufgaben ein systematisches Data Engineering bereitgestellt werden.HERBERT WEBEr war Universitätsprofessor im Fachbereich Informatik der Technischen Universität Berlin sowie Gründer und langjähriger Leiter des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Software und Systemtechnik.

This book covers these network and security services and how NSX-T also offers integration and interoperability with various other products that are not only created by VMware, but are also referred by VMware as third-party integrated vendors.With the integration of VMware vRealize Automation, you can automate full application platforms consisting of multiple virtual machines with network and security services orchestrated and fully automated.From the operational perspective, this book provides best practices on how to configure logging, notification, and monitoring features and teaches you how to get the required visibility of not only your NSX-T platform but also your NSX-T-enabled network infrastructure.Another key part of this book is the explanation of multi-site capabilities and how network and security services can be offered across multiple on-premises locations with a single management pane. Interface with public cloud services also is included. The current position of NSX-T operation in on-premises private clouds and the position and integration with off-premises public clouds are covered as well.This book provides a good understanding of integrations with other software to bring the best out of NSX-T and offer even more features and capabilities.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Understand the NSX-T security firewall and advanced security* Become familiar with NAT, DNS, DHCP, and load balancing features* Monitor your NSX-T environment* Be aware of NSX-T authentication and authorization possibilities* Understand integration with cloud automation platforms* Know what multi-cloud integrations are possible and how to integrate NSX-T with the public cloudWHO THIS BOOK IS FORVirtualization administrators, system integratorsIWAN HOOGENDOORN started his IT career in 1999 as a help desk agent. Soon after, he started to learn Microsoft products and obtained MCP, MCSA, MCDBA, and MCSE certifications. While working as a Microsoft Systems Engineer, Iwan developed additional skills and knowledge in computer networking. Networking became a passion in his life. This passion resulted in learning networking with Cisco products. One of Iwan's dreams was to work for Cisco. But before this could happen, he first needed to finish his bachelor's degree in ICT, which he completed in 2009. In early 2010, he started working for his dream company, Cisco. After finishing his master's degree (part-time) in computer science at the University of Amsterdam and becoming a CCIE (#13084) in six different technology areas, Iwan wanted to learn something new, and that was virtualization. Because networking was something that ran through his veins, network virtualization was the next logical step. So he decided to learn VMware NSX.Iwan got the opportunity to work for VMware in 2016 as Senior NSX PSO Consultant. In his time at VMware, he gained more knowledge on private and public clouds and the related products that VMware developed to build the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC). As new technology is growing at a rapid pace (especially within VMware and the VMware cloud space), Iwan is trying to keep up.After working for four years as Senior NSX PSO Consultant (primarily with VMware NSX-v and NSX-T), Iwan was promoted to Staff SDDC Consultant, focusing on the full SDDC stack that includes Hyperscaler offerings on the main public clouds such as AWS (VMC on AWS), Microsoft (Azure VMware Solution), and Google (Google Cloud VMware Engine).Iwan is certified on multiple VMware products, including NSX, and he is actively working together with VMware certification to develop network-related exams for VMware. Next to his VMware certifications, Iwan is also AWS and TOGAF certified.Iwan is the author of the Apress book, Getting Started with NSX-T: Logical Routing and Switching.· CHAPTER 1o Title: NSX-T SECURITY | FIREWALLo Chapter Goal: The theory about the Basic Security Services offered by NSX-T followed by the deployment’s details and steps with proper verification.o Number of Pages: 20o Subtopics:§ Gateway Firewalls§ Distributed Firewall§ Security Profiles§ Time-Based Firewall Policy· CHAPTER 2o Title: NSX-T ADVANCED SECURITYo Chapter Goal: The theory about the Advanced Security Services/features offered by NSX-T.o Number of Pages: 20o Subtopics:§ Distributed IDS§ Layer-7 Context Profiles§ Identity based Firewall§ Bare Metal Server Security· CHAPTER 3o Title: NSX-T SERVICE INSERTIONo Chapter Goal: The theory about the Security Services/features offered by 3rd Party vendors from VMware’s perspective and how the integration works.o Number of Pages: 15o Subtopics:§ East/West Third-party service insertion§ North/South Third-party service insertion§ End-Point Protection§ Network Introspection Settings· CHAPTER 4o Title: NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT), DNS AND DHCPo Chapter Goal: Know the difference between SNAT and DNAT and explanation on how to configure NAT, DNS and DHCP IP address Management using the internal NSX-T.o Number of Pages: 20o Subtopics:§ SNAT§ DNAT§ Configure NAT Services§ DNS Zone§ DNS Forwarding Zone§ DHCP Profile§ IP Address Pool§ IP Address Block· CHAPTER 5o Title: LOAD BALANCING (LB)o Chapter Goal: Discuss Load Balancing capabilities and configuration.o Number of Pages: 30o Subtopics:§ Load Balancing Concepts§ Distributed Load Balancer§ Setting up the Load Balancer Components· CHAPTER 6o Title: VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN)o Chapter Goal: Know the differ types of VPN and how to configure and monitor them.o Number of Pages: 25o Subtopics:§ IPSEC (L3 VPN)§ L2 VPN§ Configuration of VPN· L3· L4§ Monitoring of VPN sessions· CHAPTER 7o Title: NSX-T MONITORINGo Chapter Goal: Tools to verify the Routing and Routing performance.o Number of Pages: 30o Subtopics:§ Network Monitoring§ Logging§ vRealize Network insight integration§ IPFIX§ Network Performance Testing using IPERF Tools§ Monitoring / Events and Alarms§ Logging§ vRealize Log insight integration§ vRealize Operations integration§ Other Operation Tools Integration· CHAPTER 8o Title: AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATIONo Chapter Goal: Information on how to integrate NSX-T with an external LDAP server and create user (groups) with different roles and rights (RBAC).o Number of Pages: 15o Subtopics:§ vIDM Integration & LDAP Integration§ LDAP only integration§ RBAC· CHAPTER 9o Title: MULTI-SITE AND FEDERATIONo Chapter Goal: Design Principles regarding Multi Site routingo Number of Pages: 40o Subtopics:§ Multi-Site Capabilities§ NSX-T Federation overview§ Networking with Federation§ Security with Federation§ Backup & Restore with Federation· CHAPTER 10o Title: PUBLIC CLOUD INTEGRATIONo Chapter Goal: NSX-T is also used in all major Public Clouds.

SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics
Imagine you are a business user, consultant, or developer about to enter an SAP S/4HANA implementation project. You are well-versed with SAP’s product portfolio and you know that the preferred reporting option in S/4HANA is embedded analytics. But what exactly is embedded analytics? And how can it be implemented? And who can do it: a business user, a functional consultant specialized in financial or logistics processes? Or does a business intelligence expert or a programmer need to be involved? Good questions!This book will answer these questions, one by one. It will also take you on the same journey that the implementation team needs to follow for every reporting requirement that pops up: start with assessing a more standard option and only move on to a less standard option if the requirement cannot be fulfilled. In consecutive chapters, analytical apps delivered by SAP, apps created using Smart Business Services, and Analytical Queries developed either using tiles or in a development environment are explained in detail with practical examples. The book also explains which option is preferred in which situation. The book covers topics such as in-memory computing, cloud, UX, OData, agile development, and more.Author Freek Keijzer writes from the perspective of an implementation consultant, focusing on functionality that has proven itself useful in the field. Practical examples are abundant, ranging from “codeless” to “hardcore coding.”WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Know the difference between static reporting and interactive querying on real-time data* Understand which options are available for analytics in SAP S/4HANA* Understand which option to choose in which situation* Know how to implement these optionsWho This Book is ForSAP power users, functional consultants, developersFREEK KEIJZER has a background in science (physics), industry (manufacturing, process industry) and ICT (SAP system integration), holding various project management, people management, and specialist positions.

From Traditional Fault Tolerance to Blockchain
This book covers the most essential techniques for designing and building dependable distributed systems, from traditional fault tolerance to the blockchain technology. Topics include checkpointing and logging, recovery-orientated computing, replication, distributed consensus, Byzantine fault tolerance, as well as blockchain.This book intentionally includes traditional fault tolerance techniques so that readers can appreciate better the huge benefits brought by the blockchain technology and why it has been touted as a disruptive technology, some even regard it at the same level of the Internet. This book also expresses a grave concern on using traditional consensus algorithms in blockchain because with the limited scalability of such algorithms, the primary benefits of using blockchain in the first place, such as decentralization and immutability, could be easily lost under cyberattacks.DR. ZHAO received the PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2002. He is now a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Cleveland State University. He has more than 200 academic publications and three of his recent research papers in the dependable distributed computing area have won the best paper awards.

Sozioinformatik
Ein neuer Blick auf Informatik und Gesellschaft. Einführung in die Modellierung und Analyse digitaler Technikfolgen.Welche Auswirkungen könnte es haben, wenn Technik in den Körper implantiert wird und sich Menschen zunehmend zu Cyborgs entwickeln? Wie kann es passieren, dass sich mazedonische Jugendliche in den Präsidentschaftswahlkampf der USA einmischen? Wann entstehen Filterblasen?In den letzten Jahren konnten viele gewollte und ungewollte Technikfolgen der digitalen Transformation beobachtet werden. Die in diesem Buch vorgestellte Sozioinformatik befasst sich mit der Modellierung und Analyse solcher Phänomene: Sie untersucht dafür die Folgen der informatischen Gestaltung unter interdisziplinären Aspekten, insbesondere denen der Verhaltensökonomie.Zentrales Hilfsmittel der Analyse ist der Aufbau eines visuellen Wirkungsgefüges, mit dem verschiedene Dynamiken und Technikfolgen in der digitalen Transformation abgeschätzt werden können. Damit wird erklärbar, wann man eine Filterblase erwarten kann, warum manche digitale Technik unsere Aufmerksamkeit so effektiv bindet, und warum Software dazu verführen kann, Einfluss auf Wahlen in einem anderen Land zu nehmen.Das Buch eignet sich als Grundlage für »Informatik und Gesellschaft« Vorlesungen in der Informatik, genauso als Grundlage für Seminare in den Gesellschaftswissenschaften oder zur Besprechung digitaler Phänomene in der Schule. Es bietet zudem eine neue Kommunikationsmethode, die im Journalismus, der Politik oder in der Beratung eingesetzt werden kann.Leseprobe (PDF-Link)

Email Marketing Best Practices for Beginners
E-mail marketing is hands down the most powerful and effective form of online marketing. Nothing comes close. Seriously. Even search marketing with all its hype and tried-and-proven success can't even hold the candle to just how effective list marketing can be. It's easy to see why, survey after survey, marketing firms keep putting e-mail marketing at or near the top of their advertising preferences. Here are the reasons why.Through e-mail marketing, you can get in front of the eyeballs of your audience members anytime anywhere. That's right. You can be at a beach in the Bahamas somewhere writing an e-mail update. Plug that in to your e-mail service provider and your audience, regardless of where they may be in the world and regardless of what they're doing, are sure to get your e-mail. After all, most people check their e-mail inboxes. Isn't that awesome?This enables you to sell more products. Since you have a de facto relationship with people who voluntarily got on your mailing list, you are able to keep the conversation going. You don't get just one bite at the apple in trying to get list members to buy.Hello my name is Mey Irtz and I am the author of several books in the area of health, relationships and others. I love to write books and share my knowledge.
Blogging for Money for Beginners
Making a living as a blogger has to be one of the sweetest gigs out there.As a blogger, you'll be able to earn passive income which means that your money will flow in even as you're sleeping, travelling or relaxing with friends. You're no long trading time for income and this is the point you need to get to if you want to really be free and financially independent (even being self-employed with clients is still pretty much like having a job).What's more, blogging means you get to earn that money by writing on a topic that you find fascinating and you even get to become something of a minor celebrity in your chosen niche. You can earn a lot of money here too – if a blog takes off and becomes really successful then in theory you can earn thousands a day. It's incredibly scalable and there's no 'upper limit' for what you can achieve.Hello my name is Mey Irtz and I am the author of several books in the area of health, relationships and others.
