Their products focus on managing file data across on-site and cloud infrastructures, leveraging the low price and ease of use of [commodity hardware](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/29127/commodity-hardware), as well as technologies like flash drives, [virtualization](https://www.vmware.com/in/solutions/virtualization.html), and cloud storage, to allow users a greater degree of flexibility and control in managing how storage is used. Qumulo’s engineering leadership brings with it backgrounds at Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, while most of their C-Suite and board of directors come from non-tech corporate backgrounds. Qumulo’s biggest customers include [Johns Hopkins](https://www.jhu.edu/), [University of Florida](https://www.ufl.edu/), and [Telus](https://www.telus.com/en/). Qumulo began in anticipation of the tech community’s [growing data processing needs](https://www.analyticsinsight.net/top-10-big-data-statistics-you-must-know-in-2021/). Recognizing that legacy storage solutions were not designed to scale to growing data volumes, proliferation of file types, and increasingly distributed workloads, Qumulo sought to build a platform that provided visibility, control, and most importantly, scalability. Qumuo’s platform, which focuses on unstructured data, currently provides management tools for workloads at exabyte scale, and claims to manage over 200 billion files. It has also gained some [positive attention from the Gartner Magic Quadrant](https://www.prweb.com/releases/qumulo_named_a_third_time_leader_in_gartner_magic_quadrant_for_distributed_file_systems_and_object_storage/prweb17484386.htm), a series of market research studies published by Gartner, Inc, in the distributed file systems and object storage, as well as hybrid cloud file storage categories. ### The Qumulo Platform ![Qumulo Lifecycle](https://www.storagenewsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Qumulo-Core-scheme.jpg)Image from [storagenewsletter.com/](https://www.storagenewsletter.com/) The Qumulo platform consists of three main products: Qumulo Core, designed to store and manage file data, CloudQ, designed to assist users in managing data in cloud environments, and ServerQ, designed to implement software-defined architecture on a variety of hardware platforms. ### Qumulo Core Qumulo Core is intended to provide high-performance data storage and management, as well as workflow creation. It boasts the ability to handle data in its native file format at large (petabyte) scales across multiple, or even hybrid, cloud environments. Qumulo Core gives users tools that allow them to manage the entire data lifecycle, including ingestion, transformation, publishing and archiving. Primary features include dynamic scaling, automatic encryption, live analytics, and a robust API that enables users to quickly integrate Qumulo into their current tech stack. Multiple petabytes of active files can be stored in a single namespace which can be automatically scaled. Real-time analytics are available for every single file in the namespace, as well as for each individual user. Furthermore, users can create automated workflows and applications using Qumulo’s comprehensive API, which features multi-protocol support. Users can also quickly and easily set up new file clusters on premises or in the cloud. ### CloudQ CloudQ is Qumulo’s cloud management system which features petabyte-scale workload creation tools. The main selling point here is the low barrier to entry when compared with the volume of data. CloudQ is developed with the end-user in mind, allowing administrators the ability to access powerful intelligence and management tools to easily monitor workloads. Workloads can also be easily migrated from on-premises infrastructure to, and across, multiple cloud platforms. This eliminates the timelines associated with large cross-cloud migrations inherent to cloud object stores. According to Qumulo, CloudQ runs on any cloud, in any region, and will preserve data sovereignty and security. CloudQ is designed to be AWS and Google Cloud friendly, and can be used as a self-managed infrastructure on these platforms. Azure users have the option of Qumulo-as-a-service, which provides a fully managed service, but lacks the speed and ease of use that AWS and CGP customers may enjoy. ### ServerQ ServerQ is Qumulo’s software-defined architecture designed to increase the efficiency of hardware platforms. Designed to run [bare-metal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bare_machine) on Linux, SeverQ supports the same big-data, high-resource processing mentality as the rest of their product offerings. While ServerQ is only supported by a handful of hardware manufacturers, users still have several options depending on their needs. It also includes an intelligent cache, which assists in optimizing performance for active data. When setting up ServerQ, users can select between Qumulo’s own in-house hardware, HPE, Fujitsu, or Supermicro servers. ### Reviews Reviews of Qumulo’s products are almost always positive, with the majority of users reporting no issues or complaints. Many users have mentioned that they found the products simple, easy to use, and effective at reducing costs and increasing workflow capacity. There were some issues reported, however, and a few things that potential customers should consider before taking the leap. Cost was a recurring factor that many reviewers seemed on the fence about – several mentioned that, while Qumulo’s products aren’t the most expensive on the market, they certainly aren’t the cheapest. More technical issues include the fact that certain features are sometimes unavailable without explanation (though this happened rarely, according to the reviewer). [SFTP](https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/sftp) also seemed to be limited, though Qumulo support seems to be working to address that. One complaint that could be of great concern to some users is the complete lack of support for the S3 protocol – a very useful and increasingly popular storage protocol provided by Amazon Web Services. There is also the issue that Admin users cannot be tied to [SSO](https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/single-sign-on) or [LDAP](https://ldap.com/) accounts. Other users mentioned that, while Qumulo’s analytics tools are “incredible,” they currently do not offer a way to run historical trend data by volume or user. There may also be some persistent issues when it comes to multi-tenancy. ### In Conclusion Overall, Qumulo provides a great set of products and services that seem to be best suited for media and entertainment applications, or companies that require a simple and easy way to manage NAS systems. Their software is intended to simplify the road to cloud-connectivity, and based on user reviews, they seem to accomplish this goal. * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:December 31, 2018 Do you get everything you want from your business software?

We serve clients in a range of industries, from industrial, energy, consumer electronics to medical devices. When control of your intellectual property matters, choose Texas firmware development. With embedded software, limitations are dictated by the constraints of the hardware platform for which the application is being designed. The developers need to be more in-tune with the capabilities of the hardware and are usually focused on exploiting those capabilities and leveraging their knowledge of the device to get the most out of it. Comparatively, C# .NET programming and web application development is limited more by the confines of browser support, database and server processing and plugin API’s. An embedded programming company may not know all 1’s and 0’s of the devices they are programming for or PCB layouts, but they are more concerned with the interaction of the components. Our software team is often a participant in the board design, to enable us to work closely with the hardware engineers to understand what devices the program will run on and designing and efficient path to get the application to do what is needed. Through in-person meetings and other hands on sessions, the embedded development company can focus on controlling and managing the device and ultimately processing data (reporting, data-entry, data-processing). [Contact us today](https://ayokasystems.com/contact/) to see how Ayoka will go beyond **embedded development** services – we design security for OTA (Over The Air) updates, connect hardware devices to cloud computing platforms with SQL and NoSQL databases, and provide user experience UX design to present data on intuitive, modern user interfaces for web and mobile app development. - ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/client_dfw_airport-1.png) - ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/client_siemens-1.png) - ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/client_boeing-1.png) - ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/client_dcs-1.png) - ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/client_drager-1.png) ## Foxconn Custom Solutions [Skip to content](https://ayokasystems.com/clients/foxconn#main) ## Foxconn **Top Notch** Service **20** **Years** In Business **100%** **US-Based** Team # Foxconn Foxconn – largest contract manufacturer in the world, for electronics ranging from Apple iPhone to HP Printers. Ayoka was involved in the launch of the Apple iPhone. Ayoka developed a custom Java application (Spring, Hibernate, Oracle) to process repair service orders sent via EDI messages and queued them up for work on the manufacturing shopfloor. Each iPhone repair order originated from Apple’s SAP system (Web Dispatcher). Once phones were received, Ayoka’s software notified Apple’s SAP system and Ayoka’s software updated status as the phones progressed through different stations at the shopfloor. In addition to user input, this application integrated with equipment (e.g. laser etchers, Agilent test gear, ZPrinter, etc.) to track and display status. Once the phones were repaired and tested, Ayoka’s software integrated with FedEx to determine shipping charges and generate labels, then Ayoka’s software updated Apple’s SAP system with the tracking number. Based on the repair operations performed on the shopfloor (services and parts repaired or replaced), the software generated XML claims files to Apple for Foxconn to calculate receivables. > “Offering such a wide range of custom applications is rare…\[Ayoka’s Services are\] hard to find,” “Those are truly custom applications, and there are only a few companies out there that do that. You have to really look to find them. Many companies will simply try to develop the capability in-house.

However, custom software development is not tied to traditional desktop software applications. Modern industry relies on computers to handle everything from automation to networking. Unfortunately, it’s often difficult to find viable control system solutions. While modern industry has many unique needs, it puts a great deal of stress on the control system itself. A regular desktop computer cannot fulfill all of these needs. Fortunately, there are PLCs. A PLC, or Programmable Logic Controller, is a control system that utilizes use-made commands to control input and output from various devices. It’s a great tool for applications due to its flexibility. Since user commands control how the system directs output devices, this system can work in just about any kind of application. Designed specifically for industrial work, PLCs make the perfect match for manufacturers. The control systems are particularly great as automation controllers in robotic factory work. Moreover, they are a tidier computing solution than endless relays and timers, making it easier for manufacturers to track errors. PLCs offer a number of key advantages for industries. ## A PLC is Easy to Use * * * PLCs are designed to be easy to use. Employees shouldn’t need special training in order to operate them, for example, and monitoring the control system’s decisions is simple. A PLC runs deterministic logic execution better than a desktop operating system like Windows. Functions are more reliable and consistent. In industry, the smallest timing error can cost thousands of dollars in wasted time and raw materials. This point alone makes PLCs the best option for industrial businesses. The other chief advantage of PLCs is their input/output capabilities. Traditional computers simply don’t have the number of options PLCs provide, and finding PLC hardware capable of handling additional input/output is relatively easy. Users choose from a range of potential interfaces, as well. For example, you might choose a simple model that uses a simple, light and switch system. Alternatively, you might choose a graphic interface screen. A PLC can even be linked to a traditional desktop in a separate office space. The variety of options ensures industrial leaders can adapt their technology to meet growing demand rather than replacing the system altogether. Custom software development only expands these options. PLCs are capable of serving as sequential relay control, motion control, networking, distributed control systems, and more. ## A PLC is Rugged * * * Everything about PLCs is built tough. Industry tends to make a mess, and typical computer hardware simply can’t handle that. Even in today’s technologically advanced business world, desktop systems require a lot of TLC. They need regular airflow and temperature control. The internal fans that keep computers cool frequently drag in the dust and muck of the computer’s surroundings. Even if a traditional computer can manage to keep cool, it will invariably pull in a lot of debris, which will eventually compromise the entire system. A PLC has about the same processing power as a desktop computer, but it’s much less delicate. PLCs don’t just have rugged hardware, though. The initial design of all aspects of the control system gives them the ability to survive the rigors of an assembly plant’s main floor. Since it has a fairly compact design, a PLC is less likely to block access to other machinery. As an added bonus, the system fits practically anywhere, making the advantages here, abundantly clear. A PLC provides industrial businesses with a safer, more secure computing option that is far less susceptible to damage than desktop solutions. ## PLCs Are Affordable * * * Even if you invest in custom software development, the cost of a PLC is drastically cheaper than the components it would take to fulfill the same roles. While that alone is reason to consider PLCs, the fact that the system is more efficient actually boosts savings. It doesn’t take much to create a costly error in modern industry. Costs add up quickly. For example, a machine placing the wrong shipping label on the wrong package, sets off a chain of mislabels. Moreover, incorrectly applying even the tiniest piece in a complex manufacturing project adds to increased costs. It’s worth investing in superior tech to avoid such costs. The fact that PLC is cheaper than the vast majority of the competition makes it all the more valuable. The advantages of PLCs for industry range from superior performance to lower costs. It’s rare for those two benefits to overlap. A PLC can stand up to the rigors of industry factories and shipping centers without compromising precision computing. PLC units take up less space than the functional equivalent, and they almost always last longer. It should be no surprise that a control system developed specifically for industry environments performs better in industry conditions than the competition. PLCs provide the most refined industry computing system available today. With their dynamic range of functions and easy access, the advantages are clear. * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:January 3, 2017 In the hyper-connected world we live in, software integration services are imperative.

In fact, they’ve become increasingly important ways to build customer engagement across industries. It’s tempting to “blame” this development on COVID-19. In reality, though, the ability to build digital experiences and displays for prospective and current customers both pre-dates and goes far beyond the current pandemic. ![Virtual Tradeshow](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/slideimg.png) #### COVID-19, along with its restrictions on in-person events, has certainly contributed to the rise of **digital trade show experiences.** But rather than simply being forced into this virtual environment, companies are taking advantage of it largely due to three core, unique benefits: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/iro1.png) Increasingly appealing virtual trade show technology opportunities to build more engaging virtual experiences. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/iro2.png) More flexibility in timing, allowing audiences to participate based on their own schedule and without needing to plan their physical travel. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/iro3.png) Lower budgetary constraints, further broadening trade show access to more audience segments and more people within participating organizations. Meanwhile, virtual events also maintain the core benefits of traditional trade shows, which of course, continue to exist. You can still use it to bring together various members in a particular industry to display, demonstrate, and discuss their latest products and services. Done right, a virtual environment can even enhance these benefits. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/conference.jpg) You just have to get it right. In this post, we’ll cover the core components any successful virtual trade show should include. Then, we’ll dig deeper into the technology needs and solutions that help to build comprehensive, successful events. Let’s jump in. ## 6 Core Components of a Successful Virtual Trade Show It probably doesn’t come as a surprise to say that the best virtual events are driven by the right technology. In fact, technology is generally cited as the [biggest reason why virtual events fail](https://www.tsnn.com/blog/flaws-and-future-virtual-events). The right technology, in turn, can build the baseline by providing these 6 core components of virtual trade shows. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/1-Customization.jpg) ### 1\. Customization No audience is the same. A trade show focused on industrial equipment will likely attract very different attendees than one focused on SaaS software. The ability to customize the environment thus becomes a crucial part of getting the virtual event right. _Customization_, of course, can mean many things. In this case, we're talking about it in its most basic form. Rather than taking a platform's template setup, it becomes a sandbox that can shift around as needed. In that environment, event coordinators can customize the look and functionality of the platform based on their audience and industry. The user interface becomes intuitive based on what that audience is used to, with the ability to further customize on an individual basis as needed. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Live-Sessions-With-QA-Components.jpg) ### 2\. Live Sessions With Q&A Components A large part of traditional trade shows is the live interaction component between vendors and customers. And yet, according to one survey, only [20% of marketers](https://www.markletic.com/blog/virtual-event-statistics/#virtual-event-engagement) stream their virtual events live. That, in turn, presents a significant opportunity. Live-streaming features allow participants to react to sessions in real-time, asking questions and providing both comment and context in the process. Speakers get the same benefit of that live interaction, maximizing their opportunities to bring home the core points of their session. That's only possible, of course, with [integrated feature sets](https://www.virtualconnect.live/) that enable live streaming within the larger trade show technology. Done right, it removes many of the barriers asynchronous events tend to face, creating a more engaging and interactive environment for everyone involved. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/3-Live-Chat-Opportunities.jpg) ### 3\. Live Chat Opportunities At in-person events, what happens between sessions matters almost as much as the sessions themselves. This is the opportunity for connections, networking, and getting together with old friends or colleagues. In the venue lobby, at the coffee shop, or in the exhibit hall, vendors and would-be customers interact in a more casual format. Integrating this feature in the virtual alternative becomes an essential component of creating a successful digital trade show. Through live chat functionality, event participants can meet and greet as needed, both individually and within-group chat sessions. The same technology can be leveraged for more interactive workshops, creating natural interaction and engagement. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/4-Bottom-Up-Application-of-Data.jpg) ### 4\. Bottom-Up Application of Data The customizability described above, of course, is only made possible through a platform that can leverage data to increase the relevance of the platform for your audience. The platform itself should be able to provide event and audience data that can be used to build your agenda, invite relevant speakers, and customize other details of the virtual trade show. Part of that is planning. But another part consists of real-time tracking. Learn about the successful components of your trade show as it happens, then adjust your schedule or other details for the next day. Over time, you learn more about your audience and data that can help in future marketing and event planning efforts. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/5-ROI-Maximization.jpg) ### 5\. ROI Maximization Naturally, trade show organizers need to realize a positive ROI to make their efforts worth the time and monetary investment. In virtual environments, that means supporting a few components designed to ensure a positive return on investment over time: • Relevant sponsorship placements to get audience attention and attract companies looking to gain entry or make headway into the audience's industry. • Session questionnaires that allow organizers to learn more about the successes and failures of their planning, building more successful trade shows as a result. • Creation and utilization of a trade show app that increases both attendance and engagement at the virtual event. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/6-ROI-Tracking.jpg) ### 6\. ROI Tracking Optimizing your virtual trade show for ROI, of course, only matters if you can actually prove that positive return to justify future investments. That's why the sixth, and perhaps most important component of any virtual trade show build is the ability to track your successes in a tangible, quantifiable way. A platform supporting this component needs to be able to keep track of real-time insights from your audience interactions. You need to be able to tell what actions they take, and which of these actions can lead to revenue opportunities. That, in turn, allows you to bring relevant data to your sponsors, in-depth metrics after the session that help them better understand what they got out of their own investment and why they should invest again next time. This double-layered ROI tracking can be vital to long-term success. ## How Virtual Trade Show Technology Can Help Your Business Succeed #### Put all of these six components together, and you begin to realize just how virtual trade show technology can help your business succeed. Break it down, and you come away with a few core insights: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/ir1.png) The right platform allows you to put together an engaging, interactive event for your audience. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/ir2.png) The right platform also allows you to connect your vendors and customers more closely. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/ir3.png) The right platform customizes your event to your industry and audience, building a more natural connection than a simple videoconferencing session or static website ever could. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/ir4.png) The right platform builds natural sponsorship opportunities that bring in vital revenue. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/ir5.png) The right platform leverages data to provide insights for your sponsors, but also for your own planning and ROI tracking. Of course, you have to get there first. More than just looking for a platform that incorporates all of these components, it helps to understand more about the nuances of platform and app development for this purpose. [Learn More](https://demo.virtualconnect.live/) ## The Nuances of Virtual Trade Show Technology Application Development We’ve been referring to _platforms_ throughout this article for a reason. A modern virtual tradeshow has to be more than a single application, website, or live streaming software. It needs to be a comprehensive package, incorporating 4 core services that are worth discussing in more detail. - [A Custom Application](https://ayokasystems.com/virtual-tradeshow#tabs-1) - [Custom Backend Programming](https://ayokasystems.com/virtual-tradeshow#tabs-2) - [Custom Web Design](https://ayokasystems.com/virtual-tradeshow#tabs-3) - [Custom Business Intelligence \\ \\ Information Management](https://ayokasystems.com/virtual-tradeshow#tabs-4) ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/custom-web-design.jpg) #### **1** A Custom Application In many ways, the application is still the core of the larger platform. As described above, it needs to be customized enough to match your audience and industry needs, hosting the core components from live chat to video functionality. It will also host core information about sessions, include room for sponsorship placements, and more. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/custom-web-design.jpg) #### **2** Custom Backend Programming Behind the app should be a strong set of code that enables the functionality. That’s not always easy to achieve, and where many platforms fall short. The programming enables crucial customization, but also provides the basis for data tracking that can help secure sponsorships and track your ROI. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/custom-web-design.jpg) #### **3** Custom Web Design Virtual trade shows, ideally, occur through multiple channels. Even if the conference itself proceeds through an application, a website tends to house a pre-trade show agenda, sign-up form, list of participating companies, and more. Moreover, the application itself benefits from intuitive, UI-optimized custom web design that creates a better user experience. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/custom-web-design.jpg) #### **4** Custom Business Intelligence Information Management Business intelligence is the process of turning data into relevant insights that can improve business decisions. In the virtual trade show tech context, it means being able to collect, track, and analyze data about the event, participants, and satisfaction rates in a way that’s tailored to your needs, leading to ongoing optimization of event planning and execution. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/virtual.jpg) ## Integrating Virtual Trade Show Technology Into Your Systems The final component of creating a successful [virtual trade show](https://www.virtualconnect.live/) is to build integrations into existing systems that turn the event into a natural extension of your platforms, rather than an isolated event that needs to be built-out entirely separately. #### More specifically, that process relies on a few core integrations necessary to make the event a success: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/iw1.png) Data integration, creating a successful flow back and forth between the trade show platform and your internal CRM lists, BI platforms, and more. This data integration is absolutely vital to ensure comprehensive ROI analysis after the event. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/iw2.png) System integration, in some cases building the above-mentioned BI and CRM connections in a way that doesn’t just create data flows but also generates a more unified internal and external experience for all users. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/iw3.png) Software integration, particularly if you can build your trade show platform to be consistent with other applications or software your users might need. That completes the process of bringing your trade show into the larger user journey rather than creating a separate entity. ## How to Hire the Right Virtual Trade Show Technology Application Developer Ultimately, it all comes down to finding a partner who can help you not just build the next virtual trade show but provide the technology to build a virtual event that your audience will prefer above all others in the industry. That is difficult to accomplish. But, once you find the right partner, the search will be well worth it. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/virtual_show.jpg) You need to understand the nuances involved, from the components of a great virtual trade show to the services that an application developer has to be able to provide.

Vue.js is an MIT open-source JavaScript framework used for building interfaces. It can also be used for desktop and mobile application development as well. The framework was developed by Evan You. “The core library is focused on the view layer only” (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). Vue is primarily used in developing user interfaces (UI) and single page applications. It is considered “best suitable for ‘single-page apps, async components, server-side rendering, and much more” (Pros and Cons of the Vue.js Framework, 2020). Vue has certain advantages to it as a newer framework. The framework is considered to have good performance (faster load times) for their applications. ## Other pros to Vue include: - Size – A key pro to Vue is that the size of the framework is quite small. This naturally means that it is faster to download and install the library. “The downloaded zip with the framework weighs 18 KB \[and\] it also positively impacts your SEO and UX” (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). Besides just a faster runtime, due to the framework’s small size, the developers don’t need to put as much work in optimization. - Segregation – The framework having a small size “stimulates development and allows developers to separate template-to-virtual DOM from the compiler” (Pros and Cons of the Vue.js Framework, 2020). Another important feature of Vue is that it has a virtual DOM, which allows it to update elements in a webpage “without rerendering the whole DOM “ (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). When changes are made, “a new Virtual DOM object is created and the changes between the old and new are determined. These changes are then applied to the real DOM” (Vue vs React: Battle of the JavaScript Frameworks, 2020). - Integration – Vue also includes two-way binding, allowing bound data to update just as DOM objects are being updated. “Two-way data binding is a connection between model data updates and view (UI)” (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). Evan You stated “For me, Angular offered something cool which is data binding and a data driven way of dealing with a DOM, so you don’t have to touch the DOM yourself” The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). Vue has some similarities to competitors as it uses the template syntax and two-way binding from Angular and the virtual DOM from React. - Compatibility – “Vue.js encourages the use of HTML to render things” (Vue vs React: Battle of the JavaScript Frameworks, 2020). Consequently, Vue can also integrate with current existing applications with more ease. Vue uses a template system and encourages using HTML for rendering objects. Vue is considered flexible as it “allows you to write the templates as you wish: using HTML, JS, or JSX” (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). The internal organization of the framework is similar to React and Angular, and should be easy to work with if moving from React or Angular to Vue. - Learning Curve – Vue is considered an easy framework to learn, with a familiar programming style and patterns to other JavaScript frameworks. Vue also presents significant documentation provided on their website. “Vue’s documentation covers all the possible topics, precisely describing everything from installation to more in-depth things like reactivity and scaling of the app” (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). Vue’s website compares its framework with other frameworks. The Vue community is considered very resourceful to assist with any issues. - Reusable – With adequate planning (ok, sometimes trial & error), the code in Vue can be organized to be reusable if the developer can get “multiple components and views which can easily be integrated into existing infrastructure or an app” (Pros and Cons of the Vue.js Framework, 2020). The developer will have options to add components to existing templates. This means that the framework encourages developers to design their code is such a way that they can break down their application into different functionalities that interact later on. - Library – Vue can be used as a library and framework. Developers like view for its scalability as “It can be modified, changed, and scale through your requirement” (Pros and Cons of the Vue.js Framework, 2020). ![Vue code](https://source.unsplash.com/842ofHC6MaI/960x636) Disadvantages with Vue – Just as there are pros to Vue, there are naturally cons to it as a front-end framework. ## These are some of the disadvantages with Vue: - Developer Experience – Since Vue is relatively more recent, there aren’t as many developers who have much experience with this framework. At the same time the framework updates very often, which is a huge downside as even experienced developers need to relearn the framework. - Binding – There are issues that may occur with the two-way binding. The reactivity system in the two-way binding “rerenders only those chunks of data that were triggered \[…\] and often makes mistakes during data reading, so it requires data to be flattened” (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). - Scalability – The Vue framework is not used for large-scale projects since the framework has a much smaller development team and community compared to frameworks that have been around much longer. “Vue does not enjoy financial support from large enterprises. To be adopted in the large scale-projects, the technology should be stable and strongly supported, so that issues can be solved quickly” (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). Vue has been most commonly been used for user interfaces and single page applications in smaller projects compared to large-scale projects handled by larger companies. - Plugins – Another con is that Vue has less plugins than React or Angular. This is important as Vue doesn’t have many common plugins that many developers rely on. - Mobile Support – Older versions of Safari and iOS browsers have been known to cause some issues on the Vue.js application. - Flexibility – While it is a huge benefit for developers, allowing the developers to become too flexible allows “more errors and irregularity within the code” (Pros and Cons of the Vue.js Framework, 2020). This naturally means that more delays are likely to be caused by the errors/bugs in the code that are caused by flexibility. Having so many options leads to “different programming approaches battling inside one team” (The Good and the Bad of Vue.js Framework Programming, 2020). - Community – An issue that occurs is language barriers since many Vue users coming from China. The company that developed Vue is from China. Since, the community itself is smaller than for other frameworks, and with more Chinese users, it is harder for English users to learn since “most of the code has been written in the Chinese language” (Pros and Cons of the Vue.js Framework, 2020). ![Vue Paper Dashboard 2 PRO](https://s3.amazonaws.com/creativetim_bucket/products/88/original/opt_pd2p_vue_thumbnail.jpg?1535015675) Vue Paper Dashboard 2 PRO by [Creative Tim](https://www.creative-tim.com/) Overall, Vue is mainly used for working on user interfaces through HTML, CSS, and JS. It can be integrated into existing applications to add interactivity. Many of the issues appear to corelate with Vue being a newer framework than React or Angular, and thus, having less components or plugins and a smaller community than the other two. The lack of support for large-scale projects is also a drawback, though some bigger companies have started using it for smaller projects. AltexSoft. 2020.

They quickly established themselves as one of the leading providers of the emergent application architecture referred to by [Gartner, Inc.](https://www.gartner.com/imagesrv/media-products/pdf/Kx/KX-1-3CZ44RH.pdf) as [Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing](https://www.gridgain.com/experience/solutions/application-performance/hybrid-transactional-analytical-processing) (HTAP). Their main products, TiDB and TiDB Cloud, are open-source distributed HTAP systems designed to give users greater access to both online transactions and analytics. PingCap claims that TiDB has been adopted by approximately 1,500 companies worldwide. A few examples include the video sharing platform [Dailymotion](https://www.dailymotion.com/), financial services company [Square](https://squareup.com/), and the e-commerce app [Shopee](https://shopee.com/). ### TiDB and TiDB Cloud PingCap’s main offering, TiDB (Titanium Database), handles online transactional processing ( [OLTP](https://www.oracle.com/database/what-is-oltp/)) and online analytical processing ( [OLAP](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/data-guide/relational-data/online-analytical-processing)) in the same database, which results in faster real-time analytics than other distributed database architectures. PingCap launched TiDB Cloud in June 2020, which is described as “TiDB as a Service,” available on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. While TiDB Cloud isn’t currently offered to Microsoft Azure customers, it should be noted that HTAP functionality is already available to Azure customers via [Azure Synapse Link](https://www.zdnet.com/article/a-closer-look-at-azure-synapse-link/). TiDB is an open-source [NewSQL](https://www.xenonstack.com/blog/sql-vs-nosql-vs-newsql) database released under the Apache 2.0 license. NewSQL refers to a class of relational database management systems that attempts to reconcile the horizontal and vertical scalability of NoSQL databases for OLTP with the desire for the [ACID](https://databricks.com/glossary/acid-transactions) guarantees of traditional database systems. TiDB uses the MySQL protocol, which means that existing applications can implement any MySQL connector to interact with the database. It also means that, for the most part, SQL functionality will remain unchanged. On the technical side, users will notice some key differences between TiDB and a straight MySQL system. Architectures that currently utilize MySQL with Read Replicas, (such as [AWS’ relational database server](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/features/read-replicas/), for example) will notice that things work a bit differently with TiDB. ### Scaling and Query Distribution TiDB natively distributes query execution and storage, as opposed to MySQL, in which systems generally handle scaling with [replication](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication.html). It is common practice in MySQL to have a master DB and multiple subordinate databases, each of which store a complete copy of the data. This method is efficient and practical for read-heavy workloads, because query execution can be divided among the subordinate DBs. Write-heavy workloads pose a problem, however, since each subordinate needs to keep a complete, exact copy of the data. The difference with TiDB is that queries are handled by a layer of TiDB servers. So, as scaling demands, TiDB servers can be added to the processing layer – a process which integrates nicely with [Kubernetes ReplicaSets](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/replicaset/) since TiDB servers are [stateless](https://www.virtasant.com/blog/stateful-vs-stateless-architecture-why-stateless-won), and the storage layer is responsible for all data persistence. The storage layer is composed of TiKV servers, which are distributed transactional key-value storage servers. TiDB automatically shards data for tables into small chunks and distributes it among these TiKV servers. It creates three copies of each shard and keeps them in the TiKV cluster, however, no single server requires a full copy of the data. In other words, each TiKV server is both a master and a subordinate, since some servers will contain the primary data shard, while others will store the secondary. TiDB supports cross-shard queries handled by a Placement Driver, which is a management server present in all TiDB clusters. These operations are all ACID compliant, and operations that modify data across multiple shards will use a multi-phase commit. In this way, TiDB servers would be similar to a proxy that converts SQL into batches of key-value requests, which are then delivered to the TiKVs. Tables are stored in TiKVs with range-based partitioning, which automatically balances to keep each partition at the size determined by the user (default is 96MB). The Placement driver keeps track of where each range is located and handles the rebalancing as needed. The advantage here is that processing and storage are scaled independently, as opposed to MySQL systems, in which one of these bottlenecks is generally hit before the other. It also scales each incrementally, which allows for a much more efficient use of hardware. ### Storage Engine The TiKV servers use the RocksDB storage engine, which can compress large datasets more efficiently than the traditional database storage engines that typically use B+tree data structures. RocksDB can also maintain insert performance, even when indexes can no longer fit in memory. Beyond this, TiDB supports an API which allows new storage engines to be utilized. ### Analytics TiDB’s metrics are gathered in [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) and queried with [Grafana](https://grafana.com/), a popular analytics tech stack used by many operations teams. Insights can be obtained out-of-the-box, as Grafana immediately provides charts and graphs to visually represent the metrics gathered from TiDB. There are also a plethora of user configuration options for setting alarms and tracking KPIs. ### User Reviews PingCap customers ranked TiDB highly in terms of cost effectiveness and ease of use. The compatibility of TiDB with MySQL seems to be a major selling point for many customers, as well as the scalability and risk mitigation that is inherent with their products. Customers did, however, have a few complaints. Chief among them are the complexity of many of their components. It seems that some expertise is required when integrating new features, and while the open-source community is of tremendous value in this respect, it’s worth noting that those without a strong technical background will need to invest considerable time and effort in some cases. Other users mentioned that data synchronization seems to be buggy, and may be an issue that PingCap will want to address moving forward. DDL changes may also need to be updated, as users are currently unable to perform multiple DDL changes to a table at the same time. ### Conclusion PingCap’s TiDB seems to provide a cost-effective and easy to use solution for those seeking a distributed relational database. The fact that it is open-source and MySQL compatible makes TiDB even more attractive, and when considering its HTAP functionality, it becomes a clear choice for organizations with large volumes of data that require real-time analytics and consistent performance. * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:January 25, 2022 Effective modeling of database relationships is essential to the most common type of database used in business - relational databases.

Submit Δ ## Multiple Monitor Advantages [Skip to content](https://ayokasystems.com/technologies/multiple-monitors/#main) ## Multiple Monitors **Top Notch** Service **20** **Years** In Business **100%** **US-Based** Team # Multiple Monitors When I bought my first LCD monitor for home a few years back I quickly fell in love with the smaller desktop footprint, the clearer display, and the wide screen aspect ratio.  The only problem was what to do with my old, trustworthy CRT.  My video card had support for multiple monitors and I knew other people that used two or more monitors in their computer setups, but never thought it was something I would do.  I was wrong. I quickly learned to take advantage of the extra screen space. Due to the different sizes of the monitors, the different resolutions (and aspect ratios), and the different heights of the monitors, I wasn’t able to use a standard layout. Once I got used to the staggered monitor setup and dealing with a few of the bugs Windows had with it, I found there was no going back. Along the way I picked up a new respect for programs running in windowed mode instead of maximized or full screen. When I started at Ayoka it was difficult going from my home PC to my work PC with only one monitor. When the chance came along to upgrade to a new system that had a dedicated video card I jumped at it and quickly found a spare monitor of the same size and resolution to pair with it. Now we have several other people here that feel crippled on a single monitor system like I do. The advantages of multiple monitors in a development environment are immense helpers to productivity.  Having research or documentation on one monitor with Visual Studio on the other is incredibly useful. Other things that I tend to mix and match are database management software, calendars, email, instant messenger, test environments, virtual machines, remote desktops, and text editors. I tend to use my left monitor as the primary (my IDE goes here) and my right monitor as my secondary or low priority monitor (like email). I’ve also seen people use a monitor rotated 90 degrees to more closely emulate a sheet of paper, but I’ve never been able to adjust to working that way myself. There are plenty of case studies out there that argue the benefits of a dual monitor system, and several that argue for triple monitor (eventually I hope to get there). There are also some great software solutions that help to make multiple monitors more productive than they already are. Some of these are: - [UltraMon](http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/ "UltraMon") – This is considered the holy grail of multiple monitor software.  It has everything.  Get your buddies to buy together to get volume discounts. - [DisplayFusion](http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion/ "DisplayFusion") or [Background Switcher](http://www.johnsadventures.com/software/backgroundswitcher/ "Background Switcher") – A desktop background program to let you use the dual screen wallpapers. - [MultiMonitor TaskBar](http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm "MultiMonitor TaskBar") – A program to allow your task bar to span multiple monitors. Many will treat each monitor as a separate work space and show the task bar button for a program on the proper monitor. - If you have large monitors a desktop splitting program like [WinSplit Revolution](http://www.winsplit-revolution.com/ "Winsplit Revolution") can help emulate multiple monitors by defining lines that allow you to “maximize” windows to regions of the screen. - Don’t have two monitors, but have a desktop and a laptop?  Look into software like [Synergy](https://symless.com/synergy "Synergy") or [MaxiVista](http://download.cnet.com/s/maxivista/ "MaxiVista") to connect the two and treat one like a second monitor. Once you get everything setup and running it might take a few days to adjust to the new capabilities of your computer system, but no longer having to treat your desktop as a single priority queue is very liberating.  If you spend most of your time in front of a computer and find yourself having to alt-tab more than twice a minute I recommend giving a multiple monitor setup some serious consideration.  Once you are comfortable in the new environment the only hard part is convincing your significant other that you need more than one monitor (or to hijack the high def TV, that’s my next goal) at home. * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:March 1, 2012 Text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons, and the like are the primary way a site gets any in-depth information about its users.

Table of Contents [Toggle](https://ayokasystems.com/webassembly-development-company/#) WebAssembly (or “wasm” for short) is a project backed by Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, and Apple that was created to bring the Web to its next logical step. The project, which is built by Firefox, Edge, Chromium, and WebKit development teams, aims to not bring about a faster and more powerful, and more efficient Web, but also streamline the process of creating Web applications by becoming the new standard for Web-app development. The new standard is built to evolve alongside and complement the current JavaScript standard rather than replace it. With the evolution of both JavaScript and wasm, JavaScript may evolve to include more features, but wasm will be used to carry the weight and improve upon the flaws of JS. ### How WebAssembly Will Impact Software Development The most immediate impact of wasm is that the project will make browsing webpages more efficient and far faster. However, that’s only the tip of the iceberg and is probably one of the smallest benefits of the standard. There are still a number of other benefits that can positively affect application development. - WASM - Web Design - Native App - Binary - Javascript - W3C Standard ### Powerful and Streamlined Application Development This new standard could provide software development teams with the capability to take a powerful software application that would normally be restricted to a standalone desktop application and make it functional on Web browsers. As well as simplifying and streamlining the development process, making the creation of web apps easier than ever. For business purposes, this is incredible. Often, a developer will be forced to either make their software application only compatible with a single operating system or spend time and money porting their application to be compatible with other systems or devices. But with wasm, they can make nearly any application compatible with nearly every popular system, from iOS, and Android to Windows, OS X, and Linux. The more you look at the details, the better wasm seems. It offers software and application developers a better way to compile application code. Making the compilation of performance critical code easier than it’s ever been before and saving developers a lot of frustration. As well as being able to compile other languages that would normally be unusable for web development, opening the doors to huge amounts of freedom when designing web apps and giving developers the ability to make them more powerful than ever. Mozilla and their partners have given developers a powerful tool for web development. Allowing them access to low-level building blocks, which can let them construct essentially any application they want. ### Universal Support Probably the most encouraging aspect of wasm is that it will be nearly universally supported. Due to being a collaborative effort between the industry giants which are normally rival, as soon as wasm is available, it will ship with the support of every major web browser. Allowing powerful cross-platform compatibility. This is a huge deal for a technical standard. Adoption of standards is extremely important to their survival, many standards die before widespread support. Whereas wasm already has the support of every major web browser on launch day. The project is built by teams from every major web browser companies, such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Mozilla, the four biggest names in web browsers. This means that wasm is designed for extensive support and adoption from the world’s four biggest web browsers: Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox, giving it extreme cross-platform capabilities. This level of collaboration between companies that are normally rivals is astounding. Especially when you consider how competitive the technological fields are. However, this project is set to take the tech world by storm. Allowing the performance of a desktop application in a web app, this technology can be used for a number of amazing applications from advanced browser-based video editing to gaming or virtual reality activities. Users would also be capable of accessing wasm applications from any device due to its collaborative development by all the major web-browser teams. Without having to worry about separate downloads or installations. ### Built to Complement JavaScript Much of today’s Web infrastructure was created using JavaScript, a Web development-based language created during the mid-90s. Without JS, most web pages would be static, and dynamic features would be almost impossible to implement into a web page. But with the advent of JavaScript, dynamic website content creation became easy for anyone to create, giving developers the power to create anything from simple web games to small applets or even entire Web applications. JavaScript isn’t the only Web development language to allow for features like this, but it is by far the most widespread. And now wasm looks to improve upon JS in both ease of use and application power. While it may seem like wasm is some sort of replacement for JavaScript, that assumption isn’t completely accurate. This new standard isn’t built to replace JavaScript, but instead, it’s built to add to it and evolve alongside it. The co-evolution of JavaScript and wasm means that while JavaScript could evolve to include more APIs and features, wasm will be used to fill in the gaps and provide the heavy lifting power needed to run fully featured web applications. ### Ayoka – WebAssembly Development Company WebAssembly is a project lead by Mozilla and backed by the biggest names in technology. It’s built to complement JavaScript and provide developers with the tools necessary to bring about a faster Web, as well as streamlining the web app development process. But most importantly, it can allow for far more powerful and fully featured web applications with the same scope and power as many standalone desktop-based applications. As well as allowing for simple and easy cross-platform support, allowing developers to get their web application to as large an audience as possible with little hassle.

While database technologies are now rapidly evolving into specialized solutions, such as NoSQL data stores used in [MongoDB development services](https://ayokasystems.com/research-and-insights/technologies/mongodb-development-services/) or cloud databases like the [Databricks data warehouse solution](https://ayokasystems.com/blog/databricks-data-warehouse-solution/) that combines aspects of a [data lake and data warehouse](https://ayokasystems.com/data-lake-or-data-warehouse/), this article focuses on widely used database systems. Relational databases enable users to store data and create specific types of relationships between the data captured. This is highly useful when developing software applications, as it limits the scope of changes made to the database as well as allows developers to create a “map” of the data tables and their relationships. These relationships also sometimes function as “rules” for how data is stored. The term “database relationship” refers to the rules for one table to be related to, or “connected” to another table. There are four basic types of relationships which account for the full spectrum of development use cases. These are: - One-to-One - One-to-Many - Many-to-One - Many-to-Many Those familiar with database design might notice that these names are descriptive of the relationships themselves. Thus, simply by reading the names, you may already have an idea of how these relationships work. However, those unfamiliar with the basic tenets of database design are probably still wondering what exactly the term “database relationships” refers to. Let’s step through each type of relationship, with examples taken from a hypothetical software development client who, prior to having their own application, had to store all of their data on spreadsheets, managed by a project administrator. These examples are useful due to the fact that, many times, it is up to the developer to take these spreadsheets, discern the relationships between them, and translate them into an ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram). ### One-to-One Table of Contents [Toggle](https://ayokasystems.com/blog/database-relationships/#) The one-to-one relationship is a database relationship in which a single record on one table is related to a single record on a different table. We can see simple real-world examples of this when one Employee is assigned to one Office. The office is not shared with any other employees, nor does the employee work in any other offices. Another example might be that each department has one manager – an individual manager is only assigned to one department, and that department has no other managers. Let’s take a look at our hypothetical client’s spreadsheets: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/one-to-one_1.png) The above example shows an employee list with columns for employee info, as well as columns for the employee’s passports – though it should be noted that not all employees have passports. Because an individual can only have one passport, and a single passport cannot belong to more than one individual at a time, we can see that this is a one-to-one relationship. While a new developer might be tempted to simply enter all of these columns as fields in a single database table, it may be useful to split this spreadsheet into two separate tables – one for Employee information, and another for Passport information. Chopping information up into discrete database tables is a process known as “normalization,” and is vital in keeping databases organized and ready for future updates. Since we have decided to keep separate tables for Employees and Passports, we’ll need to relate them via a one-to-one relationship. This can be easily accomplished by setting the Passport ID field as a foreign key relation to the Employee ID field. This means that each Passport record’s ID will be identical to its Employee’s ID. This association will look something like this in an ERD: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/one-to-one-erd.png) This method ensures that a single Employee record can only have a single Passport record, and vice-versa, as IDs must be unique per table. Developers will need to be sure to account for this in their code – when saving a new passport record, you will need to be sure to save it with the Employee’s ID to which it belongs (as opposed to allowing it to auto-increment). While this might seem somewhat intimidating, many backend frameworks have the ability to account for this. ### One-to-Many The one-to-many relationship occurs when a single record of one table needs to be connected to multiple records from another table. A common example of this would be that an individual Customer can create many Orders. So, groups of orders may all belong to the same customer. However, a single order cannot belong to multiple customers. This example is shown in our client’s spreadsheets: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/one-to-many_1.png)Customers Table![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/one-to-many_2.png)Orders Table We can see that we have a Customers table, as well as an Orders table with customer names included. We can also see that one customer, John Smith, is responsible for three separate orders. In cases like these, the solution is fairly simple. Because each Order is only related to one Customer, we can add a Customer ID field to the Orders table to establish the relation: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/one-to-many-erd.png) This allows customers to make multiple orders while only having their customer profile stored once. ### Many-to-One The many-to-one relationship can be thought of as the reverse of a one-to-many relationship. Instead of having one record that needs to be connected to many records, you may have many records that need to be related to a single record. In this case, the relationship can be established in the same way as the one-to-many relationship above. For example, if you have an orders table where multiple orders have been placed by a single customer, the relationship is actually identical to the previous example. ### Many-to-Many Many-to-many relationships occur when multiple records of one type need to be related to multiple records of another type. A simple example of this would be employees assigned to projects. Multiple employees are assigned to a single project, but each employee is assigned to multiple projects. In cases like these, we need to use what is referred to as a “mapping table” – this is an intermediary table that stores primary keys for both Employees and Projects. That way, every time an employee is assigned to a project, a new record will be created on the mapping table. This keeps the database free of fields that are prone to having duplicate data (if you decided to keep project assignments inside the Employee table, for example). Let’s take a look at our client’s spreadsheets: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/many-to-many_1.png) ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/many-to-many_2.png) The Employees table, which is now free of extraneous passport information, has multiple columns devoted to project names. This would be rather ungainly in a database – for one, because it creates a hard limit for the number of projects that can be assigned to an employee. A mapping table will eliminate this constraint, as shown below: ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/many-to-many_3.png) When it comes to mapping tables, it is up to the developer to make sure that any rules are imposed via their code. This may include checking for duplicates before saving a new mapping record, or simply validating the number of records currently associated with a particular foreign key. This is another case in which frameworks are often helpful. ### Conclusion While database relationships can seem challenging to learn, remember this is a business exercise. Think of the information that your company handles and how some of it can be related to one another. Most information that is related can be boiled down to one of the four types listed above. When working with an existing database, it can be helpful to take a step back, look at the database in small chunks, and identify which of the four main relationships those tables are making use of. Good database design can go a long way in future-proofing an application, while bad database design can hinder progress and cause software developers to feel as though they are attempting to untangle a bowl of spaghetti.

But today we shall be taking a little detour to talk about one of the greatest upcoming disasters of all time. No, not Windows 7. No, not Duke Nukem Forever (Rest In Peace). No, not even 12/12/12 from the Mayan Calendar. Nay, we shall be speaking about our true impending doom – **The Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers having a game on the same day.** For those not in the know, and wanting to be in said know, our Ayoka office is located in the growing city of Arlington, Texas. Yes, the rumors are true – the people who designed this city are the fruit of many loons. It’s because of these warped minds that we have such great things to call ourselves. The biggest city without mass transportation, the town where principals come to retire (there are over 60 schools including 6 high schools), the suburb of infinite strip malls, the only place on Earth where you can go into a book store for some educational books and then walk next door and see strippers – take your pick. Having lived in this city my entire life, I’ve come to have an understanding with the quirky flaws of our fine city. Seriously, who needs to be going over 20 mph trying to merge onto Highway 360 South from Division Street? Not somebody from Arlington! But what takes the cake is this [new Cowboy’s Stadium](https://www.dallascowboys.com/stadium/), also affectionately known as the Big White Beetle (BWB). This beast stands about 300ft in height and can be seen from nearly anywhere in the DFW Metroplex. Now it’s not that I’m mad that the Cowboys will be coming here to play in Arlington, because we need something to hire all the people from the local GM plant. The price tag is also not a focus of blame, and the fact that the city’s smokers are killing themselves to finance the world’s largest television screens is beautiful irony. What really colors my britches is where they put that colossus of metal. Yep, you guessed it. Right next to the Rangers’ stadium! I had assumed that the people making these decisions were literate, but apparently they don’t know how to read a calendar (and luckily this blog post). For non-sports fans, the baseball season and football seasons overlap during August and September and similar to hefty people buying 1 ticket on an airline, there’s no escaping the squeeze. How they thought this was a good idea, the world may never know. But the city goes ahead and invests into this futile assumption that if they build another bridge or two, widen up Division and Collins Street, that everything will be just peachy for us all. What they don’t realize is that widening your arteries isn’t going to let the red meat clog them any less, and our city will still have a heart attack every Sunday. In fact, saying a heart attack is an understatement. A heart attack would feel like pleasant numbness compared to what we will see up here in the fall. Be ready to party on September 20, 2009 because it will be the end of the world, or at least the end of Arlington, as we know it. Regular folks will sit and tell you, “It’ll be okay. The Rangers play at 2 and the Cowboys will go on at 7pm. It’ll be just fine.” But don’t listen to those crazed madmen, as the Borg known as Jerry Jones has radiated their brains with beefy banknotes until it dribbled out of their ears. Let me whip out my crystal ball and picture for you what will really happen. It’s a hot summer afternoon, just like any other Texan Sunday. Since it’s the 2nd half of the season, droves of fans will be leaving the Ballpark in Arlington thanks to the Rangers losing, because of their pitchers loaning their arms to the 1-armed midget club. It’s as traditional as the sun coming up the next day, and you can set your clock to it. But the fans, for some reason surprised that their Rangers once again threw away a perfectly good season, hop into their cars for the drive home saying, “Man, that game sucked! And they were so good a month ago. Let’s hurry and get home. I really could use a beer.” Meanwhile true Texans will be arriving on the scene. As any true Texan knows, you are only allowed to do three things on Sunday: go to church, drink beer/party, and watch Cowboys Football. Anything else is just blasphemy. Tons of metal trucks and cars race over to the ceremonial tailgate parties, but as they arrive, all of the Rangers fans will be racing away from their dark loss. In this middle of this mess, you can hear the Cowboys fans to say, “Who’s driving away from the Cowboys on a Sunday? Keeping me from my tailgate party is a sin! And where’s my beer?” Just as you thought it couldn’t get worse, church bells can be heard off in the distance. All of those nice people that have been going to church all day are now driving home. But the clusterf#ck has begun, spreading out beyond the mere 2 stadiums in our fair city. Slamming their brakes on the way home they exclaim, “I was just in church for 8 hours! Why did God put me in traffic? Somebody get me a beer!” But it’s all too late now. Thanks to the law of Samuel Adams (Traffic \* People^Beers Consumed = Size of Mess), our grand city has now been enveloped into a Black Hole Cluster, slowly spreading at the rate of natural stupidity. It sucks in everything in its path and no one is safe. There will be people walking through the Walmart across the street exclaiming, “I’m in a grocery store. How did traffic get in here? Hey look, there’s beer on sale!” The black hole will have stretched into Lincoln Square, where all the little puppies in the pet shops will be shouting “Bark! Woff woff arf? Yaaar!? (Translated: We don’t even drive cars! How did we get into a traffic jam? And who put beer into our water bottles?)” But in black holes, nobody can hear a drunken puppy scream.  Homeless people will crawl from their derelict shelters mobbing the people stuck in their cars and trucks asking, “Please sir, could you spare me some change? Oh, can I also have a sip of your beer?” Priests will be coming out of their churches exclaiming, “From the book of John, Chapter 3, Versus 3-5: Thou shout avoideth traffic, thy work of the devil. Thou shall repent by giving me 2 Hail Mary’s and a brew.” And you can hear small voices coming from the stadium planning office saying, “Wow, this was a great idea! Nobody can get anywhere! Too bad I’m all out of beer.” As the entire city is at a standstill, drinking their beers and cursing the traffic, one lone man steps into the epicenter of the chaos: Princess Tony Romo. Walking out onto the field at the start of the game, he throws a good pass and takes a hit like a man in the same play (something which never has happened before). Thanks to those new High Definition TVs that can be seen from space, everybody is able to see this once in a lifetime event causing them all to gasp in awe at the same time, sucking all of the air out of Arlington and imploding the heads of everybody within a 50 mile radius like a Total Recall rerun, which shatters part of the atmosphere due to lack of air pressure, forcing the Earth to veer off course and straight towards the Sun to doom us all! So there are many lessons to be learned here. No matter how much they pay you, **never** put 2 stadiums right next to each other if their schedules overlap. The cost of a beer at either stadium is worth a six-pack at the store. If you are stuck in a cluster, Walmart makes for great parking. And most of all, if the world ends on September 20, 2009, you can all blame the city of Dallas ;-). I’m so angry from writing this; I think I need a beer… * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:April 12, 2012 I’ve always been a guy to root for Microsoft.  I really couldn’t tell you why, maybe it’s the need to stick up for the truly nerdy kid with the A-Team… [Read More](https://ayokasystems.com/opinion/internet-explorer-this-time-less-like-wisdom-teeth-pullin/ "Read More") Internet Explorer – This Time Less Like Wisdom Teeth Pulling - Post published:June 23, 2009 There are lots of freebies you can download these days.

Most of our customers either have yet to make the digital leap, or are spending thousands of dollars each month on some out-of-the-box solution that doesn’t even address all their needs. Skilled Trade Software: One Login, One System! ## Who should do what, where, and when? We help companies get the right people, in the right place, at the right time, with the right stuff to do their jobs. Every industry can take advantage of digitizing their current workflow. In addition to our core trades software, our [Weather Detective](https://ayokasystems.com/weather-detective/) has helped roofers identify areas affected by weather events. We’ve even had people in various trades utilize our [Real Estate API](https://ayokasystems.com/real-estate-api/) for the latest property information.

It’s why we created Skilled Trade Software… giving you a clear path forward with no hassle and little risk. ## White glove service We will customize Skilled Trade Software to your specific needs and load your existing data.

Skilled Trade Software makes planning / estimating easier than ever before, by allowing customers to upload their entire catalog of goods/services, assign individual or groups of goods/services to a new job and easily tweak prices, dates and products to see different results. If you have multiple suppliers, we can handle that as well. Once your estimate is signed off, you can then move into the planning stage, where you can update prices, dates and products again while still keeping a record of the original estimate. And then, when ready, each planned project can be “taken live” so you always retain a history of what was estimate, what was planned, and what actually happened. ![](https://ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/dts_scheduling_weekly.png) ![](https://ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/dts_scheduling_daily.png) ## Less time on the in-between, more time on the work at hand!

Ayoka Systems utilizes a design-build-manage strategy when consulting with you to devise custom software plans. Custom KPI software suites from Ayoka Systems are a business intelligence solution. This product will allow you to track, manage, and predict future business trends. Metrics and data are easily customizable by the end user. The dashboard will also present data in an easily understandable format. This will help you save time and allow you to quickly identify data sets using custom or preset parameters. Here are some of the numerous benefits of custom KPI, and how Ayoka Systems can use our design-build-manage strategy to make an optimized KPI suite for your business. ## Designing Custom KPI Table of Contents [Toggle](https://ayokasystems.com/news/custom-kpi#) Ayoka Systems prides ourselves on drawing from a diverse array of industry experts. Whether our designers are electrical engineers or AI experts, our team works in a collaborative approach. We make sure to include you in that collaboration when it comes to designing your KPI. We will be sure to sit down with you and discuss your business’s goals, trends, organizational capabilities, and ideals. It is vital to us to ensure your custom KPI software will be able to scale and grow with your business over the years. Purchasing an off-the-shelf system may be a cheaper alternative in the moment; however, non-custom software can often become obsolete or need upgrades. You will save money by investing upfront in a custom KPI software suite that can grow with your company. ### Designing KPI to Measure Progress Identifying trends and goal progress is a critical element of creating positive business growth or correcting shortcomings. In order to identify whether your business is meeting its goals, you need to be able to easily measure progress. Having a lot of data can be a good thing, but not being able to understand the metrics makes having all that data less useful. A KPI system will create an easily understandable dashboard that will let you measure whether or not you are hitting those key performance indicators. Repetition can become arduous when it comes to looking at profit/loss scenarios, but Ayoka Systems can make that easier for you. ## Building a Custom KPI After we identify your goals for a KPI system, our team will use industry-specific standards to optimize your software. As we build the system, we make sure to send the product through an iterative process that will reduce vulnerabilities, increase efficiency, and reduce overall costs. If your business is established and you have other software systems, we will ensure the KPI system can be integrated. Whether you are a start-up or a large business, KPI can help you identify key performance metrics in different departments, as well. We recognize that each department may have different goals, objectives, and responsibilities; however, there will also be the overarching mission for each department to support the growth and success of the business. Departments may also have other work-related responsibilities that overlap or intertwine with each other. A custom KPI can work with you to identify the goals for each department. As your business grows and different departments evolve, a custom KPI will be able to scale alongside the departments. ## Different Data Types for Different Goals All businesses operate using both quantitative and qualitative data measurements. Therefore, Ayoka Systems makes sure to incorporate data analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data into our business intelligence solutions. For example, a custom KPI for your business may be able to measure the quantitative data of how many tasks an employee completes during a shift. Those tasks can be compared to past performance in that same department. With qualitative data, our designers will hear from you about what type of goals you want to set for your employees. We will also ask about your ideals or philosophies when it comes to setting employee task targets or goal posts. When quantitative and qualitative data is synergized and incorporated into a KPI, you will have a fully optimized software suite tailored to your goals. This balance between data allows our KPI to work to its fullest potential for you. ## Managing a KPI Once you are up and running with your new KPI system, Ayoka Systems will stand by our work and be ready to support you in the long term. Switching or upgrading to a new KPI system can be daunting. We want to make sure your new KPI system will be fully operational and optimized for your enterprise. Managing any software system also requires regular updates and maintenance. This continuous monitoring is necessary for both optimization of the software and to [defend against cyberattacks](https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/wray-announces-fbi-cyber-strategy-at-cisa-summit-091620). As software advances, so do the capabilities of hackers. A KPI system holds a wealth of information about your business and its employees, thus making it a prime target for hackers. Our dedicated IT staff will work with you even after the software has left our hands and integrated into your business. We also offer the opportunity to purchase maintenance hours. This allows our team to track and address bugs or technical issues in the software. Having a dedicated IT team is necessary to avoid prolonged downtime and cyberthreats. ## Contact Ayoka Systems for a Consultation If you want to provide your managers with a means to track progress, goals, and results, getting a custom KPI software suite is the best step. A KPI suite will allow you to avoid spending time manually preparing reports. The less time you spend aggregating data for a report, the more time can be spent doing other more productive tasks that cannot be automated. Ayoka Systems also keeps in mind the necessity of having easily understandable metrics. A well-designed dashboard will allow your managers and employees to not spend as much time searching for data. [Contact Ayoka Systems for a consultation](https://ayokasystems.com/contact/) to get started on designing your KPI system. ![KPI](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/daniel-korpai-iopITwyUcTA-unsplash-scaled-e1607647876784.jpg) * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:April 6, 2023 Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, with millions of users tweeting every day.

Microsoft is seeking to produce a single .NET runtime and framework that can be used everywhere and that has uniform runtime behaviors and developer experiences. ![.NET - A unified platform](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/dotnet5_platform.png) .NET 5 by [Microsoft DevBlogs](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-5/) .NET 5 should almost not have the 5 after it as it is bringing all sorts of technology together under one .NET. It is being called .NET 5 even though it is being released after .NET 3. Microsoft is skipping the version 4 as not to confuse those who have been using the 4.x series for a long time. A quote from the multinational technology company themselves, as shown Redmond blog article from January earlier this year, Microsoft states that, “From the inception of the .NET Core project, we’ve added around fifty thousand .NET Framework APIs to the platform, .NET Core 3.0 closes much of the remaining capability gap with .NET Framework 4.8, enabling Windows Forms, WPF and Entity Framework 6. .NET 5 builds on this work, taking .NET Core and the best of Mono to create a single platform that you can use for all your modern .NET code”. However, it is shown that this will not be a long-term support release. With this move to .NET 5 there will be items of the .NET framework that will be legacy items and no longer supported or no longer existing under the all-encompassing .NET 5 such as specific things that traditional C# and Visual Basic .NET and you will need to move over to different platforms or tools that Microsoft will be providing additionally but separately from .NET 5. For example, ASP.NET will not be supported within .NET 5 and for continued use, and the Microsoft direction will be to use Blazor for future development. to Essentially with this you will see .NET Core, Mono, .NET, and Xamarin completely disappear and in their place, you will find one unified .NET 5 to cover their absence and expand the capabilities of .NET by taking the best of .NET Core, .NET framework, Xamarin, and Mono. ## Microsofts Intentions Microsoft’s intention with this will be to see .NET 5 be developed in the open as a complete cross-platform and open source project to attempt to have a wider reach and a much wider audience. Before this, we saw separate platforms supporting separate applications such as the Base class library with the .Net Framework, the Core library with .NET Core, and the Mono class library with Xamarin. After Microsoft’s purchase of Xamarin, they have been seeking to combine all of this to make everything a lot less confusing for new developers. Previously we saw that the Mono class library and Xamarin were used to develop code within mobile applications. The .NET framework that supported Windows only and their applications. The .NET Core which is a cross-platform and open sourced to develop applications that can run on several different major operation systems. With .NET 5 you will be able to do all of this on a unified platform for ease and efficiency and improve all scenarios. The advantage to this is that it will bring a single code base with a consistent look and feel since you will be using the same interface. Java and Swift will have interoperability will be available on all of the platforms. Everything about the .NET Core will continue to exist within .NET 5 including WinForms, WPF, and UWP. One of the best things about this, especially for new and learning developers, is that you will be given a single platform as a starting point for everything. This will be much easier to grasp and make it simple to join the .NET community. As described in the Visual Studio Magazine blog article from December of 2019, the timeline for this is to be expected for release in November of 2020. However, Microsoft has stated that the first .NET 5 preview is expected in the first half of next year, combining separate source code streams such as .NET Framework, the existing .NET Core and Xamarin/Mono and including components such as ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core. A quote taken from the article shows that, “The .NET Core roadmap says the team is focused on web, cloud, microservices, containers, and console applications. However, that first focus point, the web, still needs a little more work before the November 2020 debut of .NET 5. That’s because Microsoft ran into some problems with the client side aspect of Blazor, the red-hot project that leverages WebAssembly as a compilation target for higher-order languages in the browser, effectively letting C# coders do web development without having to rely on JavaScript.” The highlights to this, as shown in the Redmond blog article from January 2020, are as follows: - Developers will have more choice on runtime experiences. - Java interoperability will be available on all platforms. - Objective-C and Swift interoperability will be supported on multiple operating systems. - CoreFX will be extended to support static compilation of .NET, smaller footprints, and support for more operating systems. What is to be expected from this? We all hope to see .NET become simpler but also have broader and more expansive capability and utility. In conclusion, and spoken from the multinational technology company themselves, Microsoft states that, “We see a bright future ahead in which you can use the same .NET APIs and languages to target a broad range of application types, operating systems, and chip architectures. It will be easy to make changes to your build configuration to build your applications differently, in Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio Code, Azure DevOps or at the command line”. I certainly tend to agree with this statement. Works Cited: Ramel, David. “Up Next: .NET 5”.

[Skip to content](https://ayokasystems.com/technologies/check-mate/#main) ## Check and Mate! **Top Notch** Service **20** **Years** In Business **100%** **US-Based** Team # Check and Mate! When I was eight years old, I was a huge fan of video games. My parents had bought me a computer with a copy of Windows 3.1 and I decided I was going to make my own game. So, since Google had yet to be invented, I walked to the local library and checked out a book on [QBasic](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBasic), a DOS based programming language. I wrote a game of checkers, it took me three months… the [library fine](http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-1000/largest-library-book-fine-paid/) was astronomical! Today, even the mention of QBasic, to most young(er) programmers, will draw blank stares as they try and figure out just how old you really are. This is what technology does though, it evolves at a such a rapid rate, it can make even a thirty-something seem much older than we truly are. (Insert snarky remark about “Back in my day…”) A large portion of development today is done in the .NET framework, which has grown so much since its initial release in early 2002. The .NET framework really gained popularity with version 2.0 when a large portion of upgrades were made and it was packaged with Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2005. Now, a mere decade later we are at version 4.5 which allows developers a vast array of options to create complicated tasks with less development time. With the addition of the software architecture MVC, Entity Framework and RAZR syntax, .NET has become a very powerful tool to create versatile applications that once could only be dreamed about or accomplished with difficult proprietary languages (ActionScript, Silverlight, PHP, etc.). With all the advancements, I think it may be time to try and build another game of checkers… or I could just go to the [app store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.aifactory.checkersfree&hl=en). * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:March 23, 2011 Internet Explorer 9 is finally here.

Forms are almost inescapable in any interactive web application and an absolute constant in any situation where shipping, credit card, or identification information is needed. So, with such a vast importance, it is critical to think about forms from a usability standpoint as well when developing web pages. Here are a few guidelines – 1.)  **Don’t use them if you don’t need them**. You might want all the information you can get out of a user, but resist this urge. Never intend on calling someone? Don’t ask for a number. Don’t ship items? Only ask for a billing address, and even then – only maybe. When it comes to developing web forms less is always best. Know ahead of time what you need from users and stick to only that. 2.)  **Label placement is a trade-off between completion speed and understanding**. - **Use top aligned labels** for information that is relatively mundane. Names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. can be entered rapidly by users. Aligning labels at the top allows for better scanning and thus quicker completion times and thus a happier user who doesn’t have to spend time wading through forms. This alignment naturally takes up a lot of vertical space and so isn’t best with long forms. - **Right aligned labels** have a stronger connection between label and field, but are less easy to just scan as the eye has to re-orient itself for each line. The completion times for right-aligned labels are relatively quick. They also require less vertical space than top-aligned labels but generally are not suited to anything more than just one, maybe two columns of fields and labels. - **For information you want users to take their time on and understand, use left aligned labels.** When you want driver’s license numbers, employer ID numbers, or anytime information is unfamiliar, slow down the user a bit with left aligned labels. Using this alignment tends to have a problem with label-field association as the label can be pretty far from its field if it’s a short word amidst some longer ones.  Fortunately, this type of label can be used sparingly. ![](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/top-aligned-labels1-250x250.png)Top Alignment![right aligned labels](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/right-aligned-labels1-250x250.png)Right Alignment![left aligned labels](https://i0.wp.com/ayokasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/left-aligned-labels-250x250.png)Left Alignment 3.)  **Know the difference between checkboxes and radio boxes** - Checkboxes are for when your user can select one or more items - Radio buttons are for yes/no, this/that, white/black, male/female selections. Choices are mutually exclusive. 4.)  **If you must use a cancel/reset action** make it less noticeable than the primary action on the page. Pages should clearly indicate how one gets to completion, and by having the _cancel_ or _back_ button on the same visual hierarchy of the _Go, Save,_ or other main-action buttons, you introduce some degree of confusion. Personally, I don’t like using these secondary actions at all because most web users are acquainted with the back button on their browsers and having them is just one more thing on a page usually taking up space. 5.) **Why use so many \*Required** **tags?** This goes along with #1, but get rid of fields you don’t really need instead of indicating that they are simply not required. If you need a non-required field, denote that instead of indicating alllllllllll the fields that are required. These are just a few guidelines, but most importantly when designing forms and form layouts, remember less is more. Faster completion times means you’ll likely get better data and have happier users. No one raves about good forms on a website, but people do notice when they have to fill out pages of information that doesn’t seem relevant. * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:July 21, 2009 When I bought my first LCD monitor for home a few years back I quickly fell in love with the smaller desktop footprint, the clearer display, and the wide screen… [Read More](https://ayokasystems.com/technologies/multiple-monitors/ "Read More") Multiple Monitors - Post published:April 15, 2014 If you've gotten an email requesting that you change your password from your Pinterest, Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Dropbox, or even your domain registrar, GoDaddy, then you've probably already heard… [Read More](https://ayokasystems.com/technologies/how-has-heartbleed-hurt-you/ "Read More") How Has Heartbleed Hurt You? - Post published:October 21, 2019 Your third party software has worked well in the past.

Merb is an alternative MVC framework for Ruby that offers a lot more customization than Rails does and focuses on a core, efficient framework with plugins available for customizing to your hearts’ content. So what does this mean for you? First, Rails will now support a lot of the cool plugins that and options out-of-the-box, so you can choose to use JQuery instead of the default Prototype/Scriptaculous bundle Rails currently uses. Or you can use DataMapper instead of ActiveRecord and support legacy databases. This makes integrating your application with different enterprise and existing apps a lot more straightforward. Second, as a community, having a combined, unified goal once again means that much more resources dedicated to improving Rails instead of having each person working on their own framework. Finally, this means that Rails will be much faster and more efficient at its core instead of penalizing performance with features and functionality you don’t care about.

Unlike distributions such as Ubuntu, Arch takes the position that the complexities of setting up a GNU/Linux box, such as adding a new service to run at boot time, configuring servers, etc., should be left out in the open rather then adding complexity by hiding these activities under configuration tools. ## Getting Arch and Following up the Install The install process is nicely written up in the [official wiki](http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page). When the install is complete, you are left with a minimal installation of Arch Linux. And it is up to the user to install the needed packages. From this point, you could go for a pure command line environment and save all the resources that a fancy GUI uses or you could install [Gnome](http://www.gnome.org/), [KDE](http://www.kde.org/), \*Box, etc., and enjoy a nice desktop environment. The aforementioned wiki also contains many how-to’s on various customizations and third party software for usage in Arch. ## Package Management Arch Linux packages a tool called Pacman. For those familiar to Ubuntu/Debian’s apt-get or Gentoo’s emerge, Pacman will not take long to learn. Similar to other package manager tools, the local repository of package information needs to be refreshed occasionally via “ `pacman –Sy`.” After updating the repository, a user can issue “pacman –Su” to see if any installed packages have any updates available. Other common commands are: To install new packages: `pacman –S ` To remove a package: `pacman –D ` To search for a package: `pacman –Ss ` ## Final Opinion Arch Linux is definitely not built for GNU/Linux beginners. Packages that require configuration after install lack the pretty setup helpers and safe defaults that Ubuntu provides. However, for those that have worked with a command line and have some knowledge of how Linux works, terminology, etc., will find an easily customizable GNU/Linux distribution. * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:May 22, 2014 If you're like me, you've been aching through the hoaxes and heartache in anticipation of a Fallout 4 announcement by privately-owned Bethesda Softworks.

Founded by a group of former Google engineers in 2015, this company offers an open-source database platform designed for scalability and disaster readiness, intended to be “impossible to squash,” just like their namesake. Large companies like Comcast, Lush Cosmetics, and Bose are among just a few of the organizations that have made Cockroach Labs their preferred database hosting provider. ### What They Offer Cockroach Labs main product is called CockroachDB. It’s described as an “unkillable” distributed database which has many advantages over traditional database structures. Intended to survive anything from single disk failure to full data center collapse while requiring no user intervention, CockroachDB provides a distributed SQL database built on a transactional, consistent key-value store. ### Scaling CockroachDB users have the ability to scale horizontally for both reads and writes. This has the potential to eliminate write bottlenecks, as every node can service both read and write capabilities – meaning that users can create more endpoints quickly and efficiently, allowing them to scale query throughput and overall database performance. CockroachDB users also won’t need to manually create data shards as CockroachDB offers an Automated Rebalancing feature. By adding new nodes to your database, CockroachDB is automatically triggered to rebalance data, eliminating the need for manual sharding. CockroachDB can also detect increases in traffic and demand, and algorithmically distribute data in order to maintain database performance. This can be user-tuned at a granular level, allowing users to decide where specific pieces of data will live geographically, ensuring low latency queries across the globe. ### Survivability CockroachDB was designed with disaster survival in mind, and includes features to ensure that data is not lost even if nodes are. According to the CockroachDB documentation, data is replicated three times by the system itself, and when one replica is lost, the others can seamlessly move into place to continue serving reads and writes. This creates a form of “self-healing infrastructure,” as when a node is lost, another is added to replace it. In an attempt to resolve issues inherent to a traditional active-passive failover system, CockroachDB includes writes that occur simultaneously across all data replicas. Users can also customize failover protocols in order to handle specific events. Planned downtime can be eliminated using CockroachDB’s Live Rolling Updates feature. This feature allows users to take down a single node at a time to apply upgrades, while the rest of the database continues to handle reads and writes. CockroachDB’s survivability is further enhanced by its distributed backup and restore feature, which is designed to scale with a user’s data. This means that each node has backup and restore functionality, providing incremental and scheduled backups. ### Global Availability With single and multi-region databases available, users can grow their infrastructure as needed. If starting as a small organization, a single cloud region can be selected and later expanded to multiple regions or clouds. Using declarative SQL statements, users can also lock in read/write latency for specific tables, even down to the row. CockroachDB is designed to be cloud-agnostic, meaning that users have the ability to deploy to any cloud, even coordinating between multiple platforms. This allows Cockroach’s customers to reach a wider audience as well as increase fault tolerance. Users may also choose to deploy certain tables to on-site infrastructure or a private cloud to reduce costs and increase security for sensitive data. ### Reviews Reviews for CockroachDB are very favorable with most users reporting little to no issues. Those who have experienced issues, however, report that the lack of support for procedural code (PLSQL) can be a pain point. There is also the issue that, while Generalized Inverted Indexes are supported, users cannot yet partition these GIN indexes. Other users report some dissatisfaction with the operation and management tools included in the platform. CockroachDB seems to be lagging behind services such as AWS RDS – particularly in the areas of initial setup, adding users, activating licenses and culling backups. This, combined with the fact that CockroachDB’s Operator (a deployment feature) currently only supports Google Cloud Platform, may cause Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure customers to feel left out. It has also been reported that CockroachDB seems to favor GCP overall. A final complaint that many users had was the lack of support forums. Despite these complaints, the overwhelming majority of CockroachDB reviews are positive, and the company seems dedicated to creating happy customers. In the end, customers who do not currently require large scale deployments may have better luck seeking options from cloud hosting providers such as AWS, and later migrating to CockroachDB when the scale demands it. * * * ### You Might Also Like - Post published:June 1, 2021 Supply chain management can be stressful for newbies to the world of IT infrastructure and business management.

At Ayoka Systems, our team of Texas employees applies our greater than 15 years of experience in custom software development and [technology due diligence services](https://ayokasystems.com/application-services/technology-due-diligence-software-quality-audit/) to examine your custom applications and computing environments for best practices and vulnerabilities. - Cybersecurity - Pen Testing - Vulnerability - Cyber Attack - Data Privacy - Security Audit Cybersecurity assessments begin with an evaluation of your business environment, including the services and products critical to your customers, regulatory compliance, contractual terms you have with your customers or share with your suppliers, and any specific conditions you have your current cyberbreach insurance carrier. Your governance model, policies, and personnel responsibilities are surveyed to ensure on-going processes run consistently, changes to regulations are monitored, and the cybersecurity organization provides a clear picture of evolving risks to senior management. Effective cybersecurity is not a one-time evolution; it’s an establishment of an on-going project management plan to include employee training programs, scheduled inspections of IT devices and installation of security patches, and regular updates of open-source and commercial software components and API’s embedded within software applications. With each security assessment, Ayoka delivers written results, recommendations, and a program management plan within a comprehensive cybersecurity software solution. This security application provides a dashboard and custom reports for your CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) and leadership team to monitor the status and progress on security initiatives. In addition, the security application provides a customizable security operation workflow engine, marrying your governance model and policies with data from existing tools that monitors ports, firewalls, IT devices, infrastructure, and databases. Alerts and notifications can be configured for internal IT staff or MSP’s (Managed Service Providers or external IT companies) to ensure repetitive, but crucial security tasks are not missed. Ayoka Systems security audits provide an extensive assessment of your security operations, from corporate governance, policies, and practices to examination and testing of custom software applications, commercial software products and integration points, system databases, IT hardware and cloud computing environments. ## Our analysis provides the following: - Governance – corporate policy agreements (acceptable use policy, breach notification process, other employee / contractor agreements), cyberbreach insurance policy management, review and conformance to 3rd party standards (e.g. PCI/DSS, HIPAA, NIST, etc.) - Security administration – asset inventory, integration of tools that perform real time analysis of threats (e.g. AWS WatchGuard) - Data loss and fraud prevention – where is data going?
