Move to Hadoop, Go Faster and Save Millions - Mainframe Legacy ModernizationDataWorks Summit
In spite of recent advances in computing, many core business processes are batch-oriented running on Mainframes. Annual Mainframe costs are counted in 6+ figure Dollars per year, potentially growing with capacity needs. In order to tackle the cost challenge, many organizations have considered or attempted multi-year mainframe migration/re-hosting strategies. Traditional approaches to Mainframe elimination call for large initial investments and carry significant risks – It is hard to match Mainframe performance and reliability. Using Hadoop, Sears/MetaScale developed an innovative alternative that enables batch processing migration to Hadoop, without the risks, time and costs of other methods. This solution has been adopted in multiple businesses with excellent results and associated cost savings, as Mainframes are physically eliminated or downsized: Millions of dollars in savings based on MIP reductions have been seen – A reduction of 200 MIPS can yield $1 million in annual savings. MetaScale eliminated over 900 MIPs and an entire Mainframe system for one fortune 500 client. This presentation illustrates reference architecture and approach successfully used by MetaScale to move mainframe processing to the Hadoop platform without altering user-facing business applications.

PHP Apps on the Move - Migrating from In-House to Cloud RightScale
RightScale Conference NYC 2012 -- PHP Apps on the Move - Migrating from In-House to Cloud
Kent Mitchell - Sr. Director, Product Management, Zend
It’s a common problem: How to move your PHP system to the cloud without completely overhauling your app. Most existing systems and applications were not designed for the level of elasticity the cloud brings. But many of those apps can still take advantage of all that the cloud offers - while requiring very few modifications.
In this session, we will discuss how one customer leveraged the off-the-shelf capabilities of RightScale and Zend to migrate from a fixed, non-scalable traditional architecture to an elastic, high-availability cloud architecture. Join us for a deeper look at this auto-scaling PaaS solution specifically designed to make it easier for you to deploy and manage cloud-based, highly available PHP server clusters.

Many organizations are embarking on strategically important journeys to embrace data and analytics. The goal can be to improve internal efficiencies, improve the customer experience, drive new business models and revenue streams, or – in the public sector – provide better services. All of these goals require empowering employees to act on data and analytics and to make data-driven decisions. However, getting data – the right data at the right time – to these employees is a huge challenge and traditional technologies and data architectures are simply not up to this task. This webinar will look at how organizations are using Data Virtualization to quickly and efficiently get data to the people that need it.
Attend this session to learn:
- The challenges organizations face when trying to get data to the business users in a timely manner
- How Data Virtualization can accelerate time-to-value for an organization’s data assets

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
