The Weather Company wants to develop a lightweight, cloud-based video editor that leverages their existing streaming infrastructure. The editor would allow rough cuts and basic edits to be made directly from live streams in the cloud. This would enable quick clipping and publishing of on-demand video clips from live streams. It would fill a gap between heavy on-premise editors and existing cloud tools by providing traditional editing tools in a scalable cloud solution. They are seeking an external partner experienced in building scalable cloud solutions and video streaming formats to help develop the user interface and functionality.
Modernizing an application’s architecture is often a necessary multi-year project in the making. The goal –– to stabilize code, detangle dependencies, and adopt a toolset that ignites innovation.
Moving your monolith repository to a microservices/component based development model might be on trend. But is it right for you?
Before you break up with anything, it is vital to assess your needs and existing environment to construct the right plan. This can minimize business risks and maximize your development potential.
Join Tom Tyler and Chuck Gehman to learn more about:
-Why you need to plan your move with the right approach.
-How to reduce risk when refactoring your monolithic repository.
-What you need to consider before migrating code.
Integrations, UI Enhancements and Cloud – See What’s New with IBM UrbanCode D...IBM UrbanCode Products
IBM UrbanCode Deploy delivers several new feature functionalities with the latest software release further extending its commitment to integrations, and cloud, while bringing deployment automation as-a-service to the market. Leading this latest release is a new integration with VMware VRealize Automation; a new Jenkins Pipeline plugin, and new full-featured as-a-service version of Deploy hosted by Softlayer.
In much of the DevOps world, “mainframe” brings images to mind of crusty old hardware that is a bottleneck to Agile and DevOps both. But the mainframe and available software have grown right along with the overall market. In this webinar, we will look at what it takes to:
Integrate the mainframe into the DevOps pipeline
Improve agility for mainframe applications, and
Improve performance of those applications that cannot be recompiled because the source is unavailable.
Like any tool, the mainframe can be brought into the DevOps fold, as long as you have a plan and the right tools. Join us for this informative hour-long event.
Manual application deployment processes tend to be error prone and inefficient and can make achieving consistent deployments seem impossible.
There is good news. You don’t need to choose between a careful, rigorous approach and a speedy but haphazard one. It’s possible to implement an automated deployment solution that provides consistency and audit trails while improving productivity for your release engineers, operations personnel, and testers. See how!

DevOps for the IBM Mainframe environmentMicro Focus
Establishing a model that works across enterprise IT –
including mainframe systems
The solutions and methodologies tackling business challenges are constantly evolving. From waterfall to agile and on to continuous integration and DevOps, successful software development is about achieving the improved efficiencies needed to meet ever-growing business requirements.
DevOps - a blend of Development and Operations - is not a straightforward fit for the mainframe environment. But change is required if enterprises are going to match more agile operations in meeting efficiency targets against a background of increasing application complexity.

DBD 2414 - Iterative Web-Based Designer for Software Defined Environments (In...Michael Elder
Delivered at IBM Innovate 2014. Original abstract:
How can you improve your customer feedback loop using iterative, full stack application design for the cloud?
In this presentation, we’ll cover an innovative new way of designing and versioning your cloud applications through a web-based environment development toolkit. With support for OpenStack and other cloud providers, we’re able to capture all aspects of your cloud-based application from compute, storage, and virtual networking all the way up to the application managed in UrbanCode Deploy. In a single click, you can stand up a new environment complete with application components deployed and ready to run. With built in configuration management, you can see the changes made by your automation to configure each node. And with UrbanCode Deploy’s inventory management system, you’ll always know what version of which component is deployed where.
Come learn about our new take on cloud design and get involved to provide us with feedback to make this offering exactly what you need.
Continuous Integration (CI) is frequently implemented as a dev process and not tied to the rest of the software development life cycle. Resulting in shadow IT, silo’d processes and information, and ultimately a lack of real time visibility across all stakeholders. And even greater implications such as risk of IP loss due to lack of corporate governance controls (e.g., RBAC, security and traceability). Watch this webinar to learn how to scale CI as-as-service using Jenkins across an enterprise. As teams self-select their CI tools, using TeamForge would allow individuals across your enterprise to rapidly access CI tools of their choosing, while central IT maintains full visibility and control with minimal effort. In this webinar, we also present a case study for establishing an organization-wide build ecosystem at a global financial services company.
2. Cloud-based Video Editor
• To develop a light weight, cloud based video editor
that works on top of existing streaming technologies
• Enable video editors to make rough cuts and basic
edits on video pulled from a live stream
• A live stream is running and an editor should be
able to scrub through video, mark in and out points
and create short on-demand clips with a focus on
speed and frame accuracy
3. Project Importance
• TWC has a streaming infrastructure that can be
leveraged
• Project Context: Enables companies to create a
light-weight and scalable editing platform that
doesn’t require a large on-premise solution
• Strategic Benefits: This is a current gap between
heavy non-linear editors (NLEs) and existing cloud
based tools that exist in the marketplace.
Development of capability that could extend to
other industries/clients
4. Project Details
• Project timeline: Q4 2015 – Q1 2016
• Internal project approval
• Total budget: TBD
• Which parts of your project require external help?
Development of the UI / functionality of the editor leveraging
existing, vendor provided APIs
• Budget for external help: TBD
• What would an ideal partner bring to the table? Experience
building scalable, cloud based solutions. A strong focus on
user experience. Video streaming formats experience a must
(ie HLS, Dash). Video editing workflows experience a plus
5. Project Details
Video exists in already encoded / packaged digital formats (ie social media, live streams,
HLS, Dash)
Existing video edit workflows require digital video to be downloaded locally and re-
transcoded, adding time to the overall workflow and processing of video
Challenges:
Speed is key to any news or sports organization. Think tornado video updates being
clipped and pushed as on-demand videos. Seconds matter!
More and more video is user generated and not studio produced --- the need to be able to
quickly turn this type of video is increasing daily
Cloud-based solutions allow editors to work from anywhere, without specific software
requirements.
Frame accuracy is key
Preserving traditional NLE tools (ie j/k/l keyboard functionality) is a must for editors
