PaaS or SaaS

There is a big debate going on with these two buzz words. Before we get to the point of this post, let's first examine what they are... and what they mean by to the development force.

SaaS : By definition it goes like this, Software As A Service. In the good olden days, we are used to think the application as whole system and all the modules have to function only with in. But as the technology evolved and the new horizons are leading the development process to newer levels, we got a new dimension as "Web Service". This concept then further raise the functionality of the individual modules belonging to the big application turn into smaller parts of reusable components by other applications as well. Resulting the module as a service altogether for any and every consumer application.

This left the architects to view their application in smaller, exportable as well as consumable by different vendors or applications. This led to the concept of designing every application to foresee the reusability and come up with a kind of an architecture, so that every module inside the application is targeted as service. Hence the concept of "Software as a Service"

PaaS : By definition it goes like this, Platform As A Service. In the recent days, the paradigm of application switched over from an individual point of a specialized vertical to the combination with the external functionality as well. As mentioned above, the applications started consuming the Services from external world and expanding their domain functionality. The industry is not just satisfied there with.

Some thing more wanted and flexibility with in the application brought the idea of "Platform neutral" into limelight. Resulting that the application concept attain the new veneer. The architects started visualizing the need for the application platform, as a whole, to be flexible enough to work as a service. Leading to the new scope of web availability to every anonymous user.

This is my first post that ever made me to think very deeply and came out of my own words... How is this ?

Network Intrusion Detection using Supervised ML technique

Declaimer This is my initial version of the synopsis for PhD studies. There are plenty of things that i have to complete before i prepare the final version. Thus, this would be the alpha version. Due to the length of the blog post, will not be posting the entire draft. 1.Title of the thesis Network Intrusion Detection using Supervised Machine Learning Technique with Feature Selection 2.Introduction Intrusion Detection System, IDS, is a development which improve the network security and defending the information of the association. The IDS encourage the network chairman to recognize any malicious action on the network and alarms the executive to get the information made sure about by taking the appropriate activities against those attacks. An intrusion alludes to any unauthorized access or malicious usage of data assets. An intruder or an attacker is a true element that attempts to discover a way to increase unauthorized access to data, causes hurt or take part in different

Common mistakes by Interviewer

Now-a-days am conducting few interviews for our organization. While sitting in the other side of the table, I've visualized why most of the interviews fail with me. But when conducting these interviews, most of the candidates are attending with self confidence that they are suitable for the mentioned role and attend without preparation. When people do some real preparation, they tend to fail due to lack of awareness at the interviewer towards interviewing techniques. Having failed in many interviews, I've learned that the interviews fail because of the following... Reflection (or) Mirroring: The interviewer tends to see self within the candidate. The interviewer starts to compare self with the candidate and evaluate. This evaluation is totally personal. The yard stick for measuring the candidature is not generalized, but influenced.   Template (or) Checklist: The interviewer has a template of a questionnaire. The interviewer measures the candidate with respect to the list of st

Keep the system active, to avoid the auto lock

Most of the corporate offices will have a policy for screen locking. While working with a long running applications at background, like the automation scripts for testing the applications, it would be difficult to maintain the unlock state of the screen. Thus, we found a technique to keep the system active with a cheating technique. Below is the powershall scripts that keeps the system active ' I am clicking on NUMLOCK for every 5 seconds to keep the system awake Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")'to get user name numOfHours=inputbox("Hi " & objNetwork.UserName & ", How many hours you want me to be awake? :->") 'time variable conatins the time in hours Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Creating an object for clicking keys from keyboard numOfMilliSecs=numOfHours*3600*1000 'converting hours to milli seconds While numOfMilliSecs>0 'runs until tym becomes zero WshShell.Send
