UP2011 - Integrate the enterprise with the cloudWolfgang Schmidt
Hybrid cloud connectivity capabilities are a key enabler of the near and long term usage of cloud services. We are delighted that our proposal "Hybrid Cloud Connectivity - Integrate the Enterprise with the Cloud" has been selected by the conference review committee, for inclusion in the Virtual agenda of second annual UP2011 Conference on December 08, 2011 via Webex.
But because today is a special day - I started with a famous quote by John Lennon:
„Life is what happens to you - while you're busy making other plans.”
I remember todays day before 31 years when I was 12 years old. I was in school and someone told me that John Lennon died that day. Sad day. That’s why today is a special day.
„Life is what happens to you - while you're busy making other plans.”
Why do I mention this? Because Cloud happens to us in these days to our "IT life" and a lot of people want to wait to use the new capabilities till there is standardized interoperability and integration.
Don't wait - start today - in this presentation I show you how!
Happy to talk about the details :-)

DevOps defines a set of roles and responsibilities focused on reducing risk in IT deployments and projects. By connecting development and operations, enterprise IT departments can begin to break down silos in order to:
- maximize automation;
- eliminate or significantly reduce human error;
- increase consistency; and
- reduce time spent on the outages, error detection and prevention caused by unstable environments
Gunnar Menzel, President of ODCA, Chief Architect of Capgemini Infra, outlines the ODCA perspective on the DevOps concept, focusing on key challenges it can help resolve and the benefits it can provide.
Download the white paper today http://opendatacenteralliance.org/article/devops-magnifying-business-value/
Business and IT leaders are understandably reluctant to retire considerable, legacy investment in technology, people, and processes due to security, risk, and regulatory compliance obligations. This creates a hybrid IT deployment model: an on-premise landscape of existing or legacy systems and off-premise cloud deployment of suitable IT capability.
The ODCA believes that integration of cloud deployments with enterprise landscapes should consider people, process, technology, and operating models. Doing so encourages faster cloud adoption, leverages existing enterprise investments in IT landscape and helps govern safe cloud adoption through effective risk and compliance management.

Download “Cloud Coexistence with Extant Enterprise Systems,” a whitepaper published by ODCA and top member companies.
Conducted at the end of 2014, the survey examined cloud computing adoption among ODCA member companies and revealed a current preference for internal cloud solutions. It also noted a growing interest in software-defined networking and hybrid cloud, suggesting that companies will look to solutions that blend public and internal resources over the next few years.
Virtual simulations can handle more and more areas in vehicle development with better quality resulting in an strongly increasing demand for virtual simulation to complement or replace costly and time consuming physical simulations. The need for high performance computing (HPC) cycles necessary to perform these simulations grows accordingly resulting in requirements in computing power, electricity, cooling and floor space that have to be met. This talk will give an overview about our approaches to handle these demands in terms of architecture, co-location and cloud solutions.
The rise in big data, as well as the looming impact of the Internet of Things (IoT), has highlighted how different data is today than a decade ago, from everything from the gathering sources to usage of information. With the data revolution, enterprises are able to take data generated from people and machines to turn into insight that may ultimately refine how they operate, as well as allow them to innovate and solve complex industry issues.
For enterprises looking to capitalize on the data growth, they need to ensure that not only is there enough power to meet computing demands, but that it’s reliable, renewable, energy-efficient and cost effective.
This presentation will explore how Verne Global and Datapipe are working together to enable enterprises to better their business decisions with the help of data. Through firsthand knowledge, the session will highlight what companies must do to ensure sufficient infrastructure and computing capabilities are in place as they look towards future innovation.
The industry needs cloud solutions built on an open, extensible architecture that delivers consistent access to infrastructure, runtimes and application resources. As customers continue to adopt cloud service-based solutions, they need to avoid vendor lock-in, simplify building of complex cloud environments, and quickly develop cloud-ready applications that drive massively scalable cloud models.
In addition to the Cloud Maturity Model (CMM), the ODCA team have been working on a practical framework to guide implementation of the CMM, and to guide organisations with actions to achieve an increased cloud maturity level based on the increased business benefits that the increased levels should offer. This session will explore the capability areas, and a framework of actions (and resulting artefacts) leading between the various CMM levels.
Forecast 2014: TOSCA: An Open Standard for Business Application Agility and P...Open Data Center Alliance
Business applications are the crown jewels of the new, cloud-based, application-centric economy. Cloud service providers and their diverse platform technologies are striving to serve these increasingly complex, mission-critical business applications. However, rapidly accelerating business, technical, and even regulatory requirements for applications make it increasingly difficult for cloud service providers and cloud platform technologies to meet the needs of innovative businesses for speed, accuracy and agility.
What was missing, until recently, was an open standard that would enable business to capture and automate the use of expert knowledge regarding essential details such as business application components, dependencies, and a wide range of requirements that could be automatically matched to corresponding cloud service provider capabilities. Cloud vendor software leveraging such an open standard would enable, for the first time, a truly competitive ecosystem where cloud platform and service providers can leap beyond commoditization in order to compete, innovate, and better serve the accelerating needs of cloud-based businesses.
The Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) is a new open standard created with the active participation of leading technology vendors, cloud service providers, and customers that facilitates all of the above goals and more. TOSCA defines the interoperable description of applications; including their components, relationships, dependencies, requirements, and capabilities, thereby enabling portability and semi-automatic management across cloud providers regardless of underlying platform or infrastructure; thus expanding customer choice, improving reliability, and reducing cost and time-to-value. These characteristics also facilitate the portable, continuous delivery of applications (DevOps) across their entire lifecycle. In short, they empower a much higher level of agility and accuracy for business in the cloud.
The growing impact of TOSCA has already inspired an OASIS Interop with six vendors demonstrating cross-cloud interoperability, an ODCA Proof-of-Concept demonstration, and several open source projects. This lively and fast-paced session is suitable for both business and technology focused thought-leaders, and will provide you with a better understanding of the potential and business impact of TOSCA.
Attend this presentation covers how Disney, Intel, Appnomic Systems, and the ODCA Infrastructure Work Group delivered a study of how to measure Standard Units of Measure (SUoM) across multiple cloud providers. You will see application and platform performance results of deploying the same application across three platforms including public and private. This approach of technology, tools, and methods can be used to hold your own cloud providers accountable for performance and cost management – using ODCA usage models.
With the Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) framework, one expects to achieve a strong level of interoperability when packaging an application or service for deployment to a Cloud Platform. T-Systems tested the OASIS TOSCA specification together with its Labs and University partners. This session will share the results and some of the important considerations that arose from the PoC.
Come to this session to get grounded on the ODCA technical landscape and matriculate into “ODCA University.” This session provides a brief introduction to the ODCA usage models and a sneak peek into the technical content that will be presented in the other ODCA U sessions.
A look at the rev 2.0 software defined networking (SDN) ODCA usage model, the incorporation of network function virtualization, and five new usage scenarios.
Leveraging the unique benefits of the cloud requires a specialized approach to application architecture. The right design enables business agility, massive scaling, ability to burst, and high resiliency. Plus, it promotes resource efficiency and can minimize costs. If you are involved in providing applications or services in the cloud, attend this session to learn the principles of cloud-aware application design and to explore emerging architectural patterns which maximize cloud advantages.
The requirement for the preservation and production of electronically stored information (e-Discovery) is a requirement of the American Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). As corporate information is moved to the cloud the fulfilling of these requirements becomes more challenging for enterprises that operate in the USA.
As well as the requirements for e-Discovery, organizations often require to undertake forensic examination of assets in order to determine the nature of an attack or to pursue internal investigations.
This session will discuss the subject of e-Discovery and Forensics from an enterprise perspective and a framework by which companies subject to these requirements can operate with cloud providers.
Cloud service brokerage is an emerging hot topic for cloud computing. These intermediary services are positioned between the cloud subscriber and one or more cloud providers, to enable fast and on-demand provisioning. This session will explore the new Cloud Services Brokering usage model including key considerations and usage scenarios.
This presentation brings together the key usage models that describe IaaS including compute, storage and network. This is a fresh take on the enterprise perspective on IaaS and the important requirements.
An overview of the new Data Exchange for SaaS Usage Model is provided in this session. This usage model addresses the challenges that many organizations face when exchanging data with a SaaS provider. It also describes steps organizations can take in the planning and implementation phases to remediate these challenges.
This new usage model guides the creation of a business strategy enabled by cloud-based services. Attend this session to learn the key considerations that should be taken into account when developing a business strategy for cloud adoption and business transformation.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

11. New aspects of Cloud do need to be carefully planned.
– (Cloud) Service definition, quality of service, evolution of
the service, service catalogue, and service life cycle need
to be well defined and designed.
– Clarity in use-cases, service catalogue and non-
functional requirements fundamental to success.
– Totally new business model, totally new measurement.
– Products and target markets to be defined and agreed
well up front

15. Build to the lowest common denominator
– Simplification will accelerate deployment and adoption
– Grow the service offering complexity with experience
and demand
– Don’t try to solve too many problems at once
– Don’t build a solution to every need. Instead reshape the
requirements to fit a standard offering.

19. Networks are the enabler as well as the inhibitor
– Access to the cloud requires secure front-end user
access and back-end cloud management for a viable
Cloud solution.
– Most enterprise networks are designed for separation
and security, and actively prevent back-end access to
network zones across business units, countries and
regions.
– Early verification of network viability for Cloud services
is vital, especially when Cloud spans beyond the data
center.

23. Plan early on how to operate your Cloud
– Build a multi-discipline team embedded in a single
group, to compliment the traditional delivery processes.
(Hypervisor, storage, compute, service management
skills)
– New Cloud processes will be required in addition to
traditional service management processes.
– These should focus upon the service life cycle from
creation, instantiation, operation and termination.
