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.

Everything in IT is accelerating exponentially. Moore’s Law continues to hold true, as technology capabilities advance 10X every 5 years. Fast forward 15 years from today and you can expect to see it advance another 1000X. The implication will create a dramatically different era of IT. The Internet-of-Everything is quickly leading us down the path to IT-enabled businesses and economies.
There’s another profound shift happening: IT will move from supporting the business, to becoming the business.
For IT this presents a dual challenge: accelerate digital transformation to support the requirements of new cloud-native applications, while supporting the traditional applications that run today’s business. IT must be an expert and thought leader in both distinct architectural and operational paradigms.

This presentation looks at the trends that are emerging from companies on their journeys to becoming data-driven enterprises.
These trends are taken from a survey of 500 companies and highlight critical success factors, what companies are doing, their progress so far and their plans going forward. It also looks at the role that data virtualization has within the data driven enterprise.
During the session we'll address:
- What is a data-driven enterprise?
- What are the critical success factors?
- What are companies doing to create a data-driven enterprise and why?
- What progress are they making?
- What are the plans on people, process and technologies?
- Why is data virtualization central to provisioning and accessing data in a data-driven enterprise?
- How should you get started?
The emergence of social, mobile, cloud, big data and analytics are fundamentally changing how we live, work and interact.
Mobile devices are ubiquitous. Changing consumer behaviors, supplanting PCs, generating massive amounts of data and putting new demands on the enterprise to not only support these devices but to adjust the way they do business.
Social technologies are changing the way we interact, communicate and share information – equally generating vast amounts of data and impacting business as they try to unlock the full potential social has to offer.
Cloud technologies bring new scale and efficiency to service delivery and enable more agile ways of doing business and drive business model innovation. For companies, It also brings information and applications to people at the right time and place.
All of these trends are fueling an explosion of data. Not only do enterprises need to store, manage and secure this data, they also need to derive meaningful insight from these vast amounts of data. Data is the basis of significant opportunity and a source of competitive advantage for all organizations. Data is a new economic asset, the next natural resource.
These trends are spawning new workloads, business processes and technology deployments that are putting unprecedented demands on our IT environments.

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).

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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.

It’s an exciting time for our company. Dell and EMC have combined as one. So, I’d like to discuss what’s happening in our industry today, and what our new company is doing to help customers transform for the future, unlike any of our peers in the industry. We exist for a singular reason: to create technologies that enable human progress. We are committed to bringing technology innovation to people everywhere and organizations of all types and sizes, so they can transform and thrive in the digital economy. This is the Dell EMC Advantage, which is all about what we’re doing to address modern-day challenges—and the unique ways in which we design solutions to solve them.
Our expectations have changed. We need everything now. Our attention spans have gotten shorter. Even goldfish have longer attention spans than we humans—because of the impact that technology has had on us. Before smartphones we had a 12-second attention span. Not anymore. Now it is 8 seconds.

Technology has enabled us to work whenever and wherever we are. So, wherever our laptops or cell phones are these days is where we work. And we are always connected with our devices within reach, so we work whenever we must. These days, research has shown that 80-90% of employees say they want to telecommute as least part of the time. And getting to a point where most employees telecommute is very likely to happen in the near future.

We love information. We want immediacy of information in real-time, whether it’s driving to work in the morning and wanting to know the fastest path to our destination, or if it’s taking great photos and wanting to immediately share them with our friends or to the world. We are generating so much information these days that 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last two years. And this has been primarily driven by the exponential increase in the use of mobile devices. And with IoT now significantly growing in interest, the data deluge is gaining strength at an alarming rate with no signs of stopping.

Yet, some of this change is scary—we are at more risk than ever before because we are more connected. In fact, 1 million cyber attacks are released every day, and so we must safeguard our technology to keep our personal and business information secure from those who may want to do us harm. What’s more, we must protect our information, and make it highly available, even in the event of a catastrophic disaster.

Why have we joined forces? In the digital era, technology is advancing at an exponential rate and changing how we work and live. Just as technology is the engine of human progress, it is also an engine of change, and the new digital era is really a fourth industrial revolution, transforming the way we live and work at an ever-increasing pace – and creating a world where everything is connected, a source of greater data and insight.
The world that we’re living in is changing dramatically. And this change can bring rich opportunities to those who embrace it. And so what we as a company are doing is embracing this change ourselves and driving this change into the organizations we work with… to more effectively help them transform for the future.
Businesses who embrace change can transform entire industries, and every organization today faces an imperative to transform or risk becoming obsolete. Look at what has been going on in the world we live in. The media industry has been transformed (by companies like Netflix) and now it streams media on-demand. Movies themselves are becoming digital. Look at what Tesla has done to the automotive industry; they essentially have created a software-defined car, which has led to incredible innovations in the driving experience. Look at the hoteling industry: companies like AirBnB have revolutionized the way we book and stay away from home. And in the airline industry, companies (like GE Avionics) are transforming the implementation of precision navigation services, flight data analytics, and fuel management.
This is going to happen to every single industry in every single company around the world. This is not a time to be asleep at the wheel. If you aren’t looking at ways to use technology to better serve customers, you can be sure your competitors are. Organizations that embrace change, and adopt new technologies, can gain competitive advantage over peers in their industry. The most high-performing IT organizations adopt new technologies early to bring new innovations faster to market to their customers or constituents.
How are these technologies helping drive these transformational changes?
Well, think about it for a second. What we know is that every five years you get “a 10X” capability improvement – 10X the amount of compute, 10X the amount of storage, 10X the available bandwidth. So think about that for a second…
By the end of the next decade, that means our processors will be 1000X faster, our storage arrays will be 1000X denser, and there will be 1000X more available bandwidth. Think of a world where we are a key enabler of all this with the basic building blocks of IT infrastructure—compute, storage, and network—where we play a big role. What will we be able to help the world to do as a result?
All of this incredible change is being driven by what we call Digital transformation, where technology is at the core of every business, in every industry, in every country. Successful organizations are using technology to undergo digital transformation right now, looking at new and better ways to interact with and serve customers, creating a more frictionless and seamless customer experience. So, today every company, in every industry, should be on a journey to transform their business and create new digital operating models.
Now as we move to this world of digital transformation things are going to be very different. If you take a look back at the last 15 years, technology was really the realm of IT, very much focused on systems of record (e.g. financial systems, core business systems, etc.) and traditional applications, really focused on storing and reporting transactional data.
The next 15 years are going to be dramatically different. Technology is going to be inherent in every part of the business. We will move beyond systems of record to systems of engagement and systems of insight. Businesses are going to engage with customers through innovative, new applications on mobile devices. The applications are going to be built for the cloud. We are going to see greater analysis of the streams of data these applications generate. And we’re not just going to connect phones, and PCs, and tablets to the Internet, we’re going to connect everything.
So IT is going to be very different, but let’s take a look at the spend because it will dictate how quickly people can move. If you look at spend today, there’s about $2.7 Trillion being spent on traditional infrastructure and applications for enterprise IT. Yet, these traditional applications are not going away any time soon

This means that over the next several years, businesses must get serious about optimizing traditional applications and infrastructure – and by that we mean bringing down the cost and complexity of running those enterprise automation applications—like SAP and MSFT—to run more efficiently…

If they can do this and run infrastructure more efficiently, they can shift spend to a new set of investments—to transform for the future. Truly funding the business toward digital transformation by creating new mobile experiences, better data analytics, and deeper digital innovation around products and services. Every IT leader today tells us they want to be more strategic and relevant to the business. If they can free up budgets and shift spending, they can more effectively assist the business in digitally transforming for the future and building a host of cloud-native applications. In order to successfully navigate this transition, our customers are telling us that strategic partnerships matter more now than ever before as IT leaders need to deal with an increasingly diverse set of priorities. We hear this loud and clear.
This represents a challenge for IT as they need to support both traditional + cloud-native apps——two distinct architectural and operational paradigms. On one hand they must keep existing infrastructure running (i.e. those systems of record that are still necessary today). At the same time, on the other hand, they have got to build the next generation. They’ve got to look at the business, align IT and technology with the business, and they’ve got to fund the next generation of cloud native applications. This is a huge challenge.
Let’s drill down and take a closer look at both traditional and cloud-native IT.
Traditional applications (as we know very well) tend to be built in a vertically scaling (i.e. scale-up) manner. All the resiliency for these applications must be built within the infrastructure itself. And there is a very structured, ITIL-based way of going about running IT.
*ITIL is a rich set of checks and balances and change control methodologies codified into a structured set of IT processes, known as ITIL.
Cloud native is very different. The applications tend to scale out with software-defined infrastructure on commodity hardware. Here the burden of reliability and resiliency falls to the application itself. And here you will find new DevOps processes, which align the needs (and removes the blurred lines) between developers building the applications and the operations people who run IT. These two paradigms are very different, but we believe they must coexist with IT for the foreseeable future.
So the modern IT organization has to do both. In this new world, traditional IT must coexist with the software-defined, cloud-native platforms of new IT. And to add even another level of complexity for the modern IT department, they’ve got to make a determination: which systems are going to run on premise and which are going to run off premise?
So, in this environment, IT organizations are looking for a partner to transform. How can they do all of this? How can they affect digital transformation to transform their industry? How do they enable this by transforming IT, changing the behavior and transforming the workforce, and making sure the security team can keep up, and that they’ve got the right security controls in place? Who is going to work with the customer to define their strategy? Who’s got their back when things go wrong? The ideal partner sees the big picture and can address the full spectrum of IT with edge-to-core-to-cloud capabilities and expertise needed to address the challenges of the modern enterprise.
These map to the fundamental building blocks of IT infrastructure. If we look at it as a pyramid—hardware infrastructure at the base, virtualization and orchestration in the middle, and platform-as-a-service and applications running on top of everything.
If you think back to when I was talking about IT transformation, the sweet spot for that is the Dell EMC business. But that’s not all we’ve got. Within Dell Technologies, we’ve got a range of capabilities—from the low-level infrastructure, up through virtualization, right up to the applications. And our unique brands and businesses play key roles here. Clearly on top of our foundational infrastructure, we’ve got a cloud platform in VMware, which enables us to build traditional applications, in addition to cloud-native applications. In terms of building those new applications, that’s where Pivotal comes in: the office platform-as-a service for data analytics—a lot of the digital transformation I’ve discussed will be led by the Pivotal team. We can choose with Virtustream whether to run that infrastructure on premise or whether to run it off premise, which gives IT organizations options and flexibility. And finally, as the world moves toward a business-drive security strategy, we have RSA and SecureWorks. So we have a huge breadth of capabilities here—from edge to core to cloud.
** OPTIONAL SLIDE ** You may use this slide if a more detailed description of the strategically aligned businesses and their capabilities is desired.

The combination of our businesses aligned to our company strategy enables us to deliver technology across the full IT ecosystem – from edge to core to cloud. These businesses, collectively under the banner of Dell Technologies, include Dell, EMC, Pivotal, RSA, SecureWorks, SecureWorks, Virtustream, and VMware, aligned against a singular goal: helping our customers transform for the future… and enable human progress .
And so that is why Dell and EMC have joined forces. All that remains for me to say is “let the transformation begin”– for us and our customers. Dell and EMC together is ready today to work with you right now and help you transform for the future.
Thank you.
