The Software Defined Enterprise - Session Sponsored by AmcomAmazon Web Services
AWS Summit 2014 Perth - Breakout 4
It’s time to ride the software wave – for too long IT organisations have been hamstrung and spread thin by having to manage the infrastructure and applications, rather being able to focus on delivering the benefits that the business demands. During this session, Brett explores why we (as IT professionals) should be thinking about driving everything we do with software innovation; how that relates to the cloud (and why Brett hates that word); and what the path forward is.
Brett Looney, Head of Innovation, Amcom will be presenting this session. Brett has been involved in the telecommunications & information technology sector for over 25 years. He has been a key part of a number of highly successful, national technology businesses where he actively contributed to the growth of their operations. Brett has developed a solid reputation as a creative thinker and spokesperson for the ICT industry.
In 2011, Brett joined Amcom as Head of Innovation, leading the use of new technology across the group and Amcom’s national customer base.

DELL EMC: IT transformation & the impact on the datacenterMarketing Team
In het huidige economische klimaat staan innovatie, flexibiliteit en klantenbinding centraal. Hoe blijf je als bedrijf relevant in deze snel veranderende wereld, hoe kan de informaticadienst aan de basis staan van meer efficiente processen en nieuwe bronnen van inkomsten en welke rol speelt het datacenter in deze evolutie?

In 2016, cloud technologies went mainstream. But with maturity came the realization that moving to the cloud doesn’t happen overnight. CIOs are prioritizing hosted computing and cloud data storage. But they’re approaching the shift as a gradual, multi-year journey.
Many startups and small businesses will continue to go all-in on cloud. But enterprises will find success in a slow but steady move from on-prem. Hybrid ecosystems—of data, software, and infrastructure—will be the reality for most established organizations.
As this shift to cloud progresses where are things are headed? This paper highlights the top cloud trends for 2017.
In the past, many organizations invested heavily in the development and growth of enterprise data warehouses (EDW). Today, the EDW is often at or over capacity. As EDWs hit their limits, many forward-looking organizations are shifting data warehouse processing functions to Hadoop for its scalability and economic benefits.
With a robust EDW offload solution, an organization can accelerate ETL processing, work easily with a wide range of new data sources and formats, and make better use of existing EDW investments.
Thought leaders from Dell EMC, Cloudera and Syncsort discuss how best to begin a big data journey by taking control of all data, controlling costs, and identifying the first use case, so you can move forward with confidence to transform your business.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Good Afternoon…it’s my privilege and pleasure to represent VMware today.
Many of you in the audience are very familiar with VMware, but for those that may not be as familiar with us …here are a few data points Become the leading Data Center Automation Company
[Fulfilling our vision of simplifying IT has made us an industry-leading software company.
More than 500,000 customers, from small and midsize companies to large enterprises—including 100 percent of Fortune 500 companies—use VMware technologies and services.
More than 75,000 partners, including technology and consulting partners, top distributors and resellers, and system vendors and integrators, help provide customers with freedom and choice.
Through the broadest set of cloud service provider partners—more than 10,000 of them—VMware is making the hybrid cloud a reality.
VMware stays close to customers with offices in more than 100 countries.
Innovation begins with the more than 14,000 VMware employees.
Let’s start by taking a look at the world that we live in today….and the challenges we are facing
The world that we're increasingly participating in is a liquid world where we see old rigid structures give way.
In this dynamic, shape-shifting environment, old ways are giving way to new ways.
We're seeing that education is no longer just the classroom, but it extends to wherever you are.
Work is no longer a physical place, but it's what you do.
Retail is mobile and transactions are happening everywhere that you are.
Transportation is being redefined with electric cars and self-driven cars, currency redefined by categories like Bitcoin.
And entertainment is the prototypical example of digital transformation.
We're seeing that our world today is becoming more liquid than ever before.
As we go into liquid business environment, the contrast of rigid structures then and liquid business now are significant and dramatic.
For example, I used to have to control all assets.
Today, I can leverage assets and use them in powerful ways.
A company like Uber has a market cap that is now equal to that of Hertz and Avis combined, and they don't own any assets.
We're seeing that innovation is now the speed of rapid innovation and fail fast.
App deployment that used to take months or years can now be automated or virtually instant.
Jim Collins' famous book is Built to Last--sorry Jim, you need to write a new one; It's now “Built to Change,” and it’s all about how fast organizations can move in this liquid world.
What are the challenges that limit our path forward
You can do traditional apps, or cloud-native apps.
You could satisfy IT, or you could satisfy developers.
You could be on-premises or off-premises.
You could have fast instant environments, or safe, secure, and compliant.
Our approach at VMware is to bridge these two worlds.
We believe we have the unique power to be the “and” across these divides; that we allow you to have safe, secure, and instant and elastic scale, moving from the tyranny of the “or” to the power of “and.”
This is what we think of as brave new IT.
That's the power of “and,” a simple strategy about bridging these two worlds, but it also means letting go of things from the past.
That hardware-defined data center is comfortable but expensive, slow, brittle, manual. We have to leave that behind.
The future is about the software-defined enterprise, and three core characteristics of this environment—fluid, instant, and choice.
The only way to deliver the Power of & is The Software Defined Enterprise..
It starts first and foremost with a fundamental the shift ..to a software defined datacenter…where workloads and applications can be delivered on premise or off premise known as hybrid cloud computing through a set of common management tools…
at the same time users want to get access to their data anytime, anywhere, at any place.
That is our Vision…Our Strategy and Our Direction
VMware virtualization has already saved companies 10 of billions of dollars in savings and continues to save customers billions annually. What we are doing now through this compute layer innovation of virtualization is to take those same principals of cutting this connection to hardware and enabling resource pooling and abstraction….and aligning those principals to all layers in the datacenter…Networking, Storage, and Security. Our thesis is to move our technology horizontally across the datacenter…to create a common service delivery platform.
But this requires common management that policy based with a high degree of automation….VMware Management offerings include Cloud automation for provisioning and cloud operation for the practioner that needs to know what's going on to tie back to cloud computing.
Network virtualization – The concept leveraging virtualization very similar to what we did in the compute layer….what we have done is break the control plane or data plane to add tremendous value particularly around Network Security…Most data centers today are like an EGG…with a hard crusty exterior and a soft gooey interior…what do I mean by that….think about 80% of all money spent on Network Security is spent on North Bound South Bound Firewall protection….We would love to build firewalls inside the datacenter for every end VM but think about that….how many appliances would you need? With NSX you can set policies to protect every VM…this is what we call Micro Segmentation…
Storage- Leverage the existing arrays or through VSAN to take advantage of local disk and FLASH. Test and DEV and VDI or good uses cases…tapping into unused capacity…and once again through our common management tools you can deploy into the public cloud.
Requires common management that policy based with a high degree of automation….VMware Management offerings include Cloud automation for provisioning and cloud operation for the practioner that needs to know what's going on to tie back to cloud computing.
ITBM- for SHOWBACK to satisfy the needs of the CFO why are you spending more money and what is my ROI…it’s called IT Business Management…and think about the power of SHOWFORWARD to the lines of business to be able to budget appropriately for business expense when you need to be proactive about the cost…This is a powerful tool for managing, automating, operating, orchestrating and remediating your resources in IT.
Ladies and Gentlemen…That is the Software Defined Data Center…we had the vision four years ago when our EVP Raghu Rhaguram coined that phrase…we have pushed the agenda since then and we are executing it today
We have developed hybrid cloud solution built for enterprise – and tailored for the new rules of IT
Seamlessly and securely extends your data center to create a liquid pool of resources
Approach founded on hybridity:
Build in the cloud and deploy on-premises and vice-versa.
Apps and data co-exist in a unified environment
Fuel innovation via new applications delivered faster and cheaper on your existing platform without having to re-architect an entire environment.
Do all this through your existing people, processes and tools
And, most importantly, you want choice. Don’t want vendor lock-in.
That is why we have built network of more than 3,500 partners
Hybrid Cloudis the next phase of cloud adoption.
[T] So…are you pushing this forward or slowing it down?
Key Assumptions:
Optimized Hardware Footprint: improve server consolidation by abstracting beyond physical clusters , right-sizing virtual machines , and connecting previously network isolated resources
Reduction in HW Support:
Reduction in Power & Cooling: fewer servers, simplified network fabric, and a new tier of storage
Reduction in Datacenter Floor Space: again fewer servers, fewer network switches, and no separate rack for new tier of storage
Improved IT Administrator Productivity: tools to automate monitoring, troubleshooting!
We have developed hybrid cloud solution built for enterprise – and tailored for the new rules of IT
Now lets discuss why The VMware Hybrid cloud is the right solution at the right time
5 years ago 2%
Now is only 6%
Experimental to Professional to Mass Market to Legacy
The line of business thinks IT is to slow and they have Ferocious appetite for Infrastructure capacity…developing multiple incompatible approaches
Very large monthly bills…we have seen as much as 500K per
Meanwhile IT maintains the accountability
This experimental approach does not scale…
Think about the implication of your existing apps…when you try to meld that back with new apps and bring back in house…you cant…the apps check in but they can not check out!
Create a seamless extension of your data center…get out of the experimental phase
IT now becomes that Service Broker…leverage the Hybrid Cloud
This is the new approach…SAME Management, Same Networking, Same Security.
Do this in a seamless way with an underlying architecture that is is the same…if you want to federate your workloads or move them around the datacenter and Public Cloud requires…the same architecture
Move workloads back… The VM, file format and .dsk file are all the same…this is HYBRIDITY…the next new word in IT
The Future Is Hybrid Video

I hope I did a good job of showing you how simple and sensible our Hybrid Cloud is….but in case I didn’t please say hello to my little friend…I call him Hybridity
Finally our third pillar to our vision or as Sanjay Poonen or GM likes to say the “head to the body of SDDC and that is EUC….we believe is the workspace of the future!
In EUC We have been transforming our portfolio over the past 18 months…it started with the acquisition of Desktone the leading provider of DaaS. We have been aggressively hiring a flood of talent that is flocking to VMware because of our strategy and finally the biggest acquisition in VMware history…the acquisition of Airwatch the Gold Standard in MDM.
When we think about the FUTURE of IT it could not be more evident than the world of End User Computing because it is changing right before our very eyes….think about the mainframe era with thousands of IT USERS and HUNDREDS of Aps and than the client Server Era with Millions of Users and Thousands of Aps to the mobile cloud era with Billions of Users and Millions of Aps…its truly astonishing…in fact of businesses today are not think of a mobile first agenda they are probably going to be left behind…because users are going from
Users: “43% of information workers use 3 or more devices at work to increase productivity”
Apps: “50% of Enterprise applications no longer run on Windows. More of them moving to the Cloud”
Data: “My sales reps load their documents into DropBox, I’m worried about security as its all outside the firewall”
Move from point products to UNIFIED SOLUTIONS…our commitment is to be best in breed in all areas of EUC…Unified and optimized but NOT tethered together
Ammassed a strong portfolio to allow you to access with one action from one consul…
Centralization of your devices…on your premise where you run the updates or like what we are doing…in the VMware Public cloud….
In this landscape we came up with a bold vision that is going to transform the world of EUC…..our mission is to singularly create the notion to a secure workspace for users to work at the speed of life….whether you are on your desktop/ laptop mobile device or Tesla…we will serve you your apps and data seamlessly and securely
As you can see Innovation is alive and well at VMware. It’s an exciting portfolio of innovative and integrated solutions from the Datacenter to the desktop…Simply put…we are leveraging our Enterprise Muscle and expanding that to the consumer sizzle….that is the envy of the IT Industry.
Thank you
