[Case study] Maine Fiber: Smart Grid solution offers precise GIS capabilities...Schneider Electric
The Maine Fiber Company is a telecommunications provider based in Portland,
Maine. The company was formed to oversee the construction, leasing and
maintenance of a 1,100-mile high-capacity fiber optic network being built in the
state of Maine.
Unlike most companies that operate fiber optic networks, Maine Fiber is a dark
fiber provider, not a lit service provider. Its customers are telecomm service
providers in the state of Maine that use the network as the backbone for the lit
services they provide to individuals – who are the actual end users.
The network was launched with the backing of a group of private investors and
a matching economic stimulus grant from the federal government. Maine Fiber
began using ArcFM™ Fiber Manager and ArcFM Viewer in September 2011.

Data center power and cooling infrastructure worldwide wastes more than 60,000,000 megawatt-hours per year of electricity that does no useful work powering IT equipment. This represents an enormous financial burden on industry, and is a significant public policy environmental issue. This paper describes the principles of a new, commercially available data center
architecture that can be implemented today to dramatically improve the electrical efficiency of data centers.
The combination of Cisco's UCS Manager and Schneider Electric's DCIM solution provides Cisco UCS customers with an opportunity to bridge the gap between IT and Facilities, offer transparency across the two silos, and positively impact the rest of the organization – both in terms of efficiency, uptime and capex/opex costs. This is achieved by optimising the existing physical infrastructure capacities, thus reducing overprovisioning and improving the balance between supply and demand, resulting in continual availability and optimal energy efficiency.

More and more, as utilities face decreasing margin between system load and system capacity, they are in need of innovative smart grid solutions that can help them effectively disperse and store energy and manage load to meet resource requirements. Many are incorporating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to help fill the gap while, at the same time, meet requirements for reduced emissions and energy independence; these utilities will require the capability to accurately forecast and control DER contribution to the network, to assure security and grid reliability.
Advanced smart grid software designed to support DER management and optimize grid operations and planning works with a real-time network model, based on an accurate geodatabase and incorporating data from operational systems such as a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and outage management system (OMS). Along with real-time visualization and monitoring of network status, this Advanced Distribution Management System – ADMS – provides a host of analytical tools that recommend the most optimal device operations, or optionally automate device operations, to maximize network efficiency and reliability. For example, the utility can apply Volt/VAR control to reduce feeder voltage automatically with no effect on the consumer. Detailed load profiling and load forecasting based on integrated weather feeds yield network load forecasting for effective renewables integration. Network simulation helps forecast medium-term and long-term load and supports effective development and planning.
ADMS functionality and tools are demonstrating that utilities can effectively manage demand without building large-scale generation.

Green IT in the Boardroom
Spreker: Jose Iglesias (VP of Global Solutions, Symantec)
At the same time that data centers are running short on space and power, IT organizations are also finding themselves dealing with skyrocketing amounts of information. But such challenges often have a way of presenting new opportunities. Today, Green IT is re-shaping the data center and bringing IT to the forefront in the boardroom. Energy efficiency is not just a set of quick fixes like virtualizing everything or focusing on new hardware – but rather a fundamental shift in how to approach the problem from the start by leveraging an existing investment in software and planning for how to save “green” while “going green” year over year. It covers the entire IT organization including the endpoints, servers, storage and communications. Jose will cover the practical issues of implementing green IT technologies into businesses and what the consequences are locally and across the globe.

451 Group Increasing Cloud Application PerformanceCDNetworks
IT is increasingly being consumed ‘as a service.’ This is why 451 Research expects the SaaS portion of the cloud to reach $11.1bn in 2012 and continue to grow to $14.8bn in 2014.
But, there is a network attached to that cloud, and networks don’t always behave well. The cloud has performance problems stemming from latency and availability issues, especially if you have customers or employees in emerging markets including China, Russia, and India.
Applications such as CRM, ERP, content management and collaboration, all the way to archiving and backup storage services can be impacted by network performance. How do you accelerate your cloud applications to ensure a good customer or employee experience? Join the webcast and learn how HighQ, Thomsons Online Benefits, and others have leveraged CDN technology.
As enterprises and their IT providers seek to harness the potential of cloud computing, their networks must be equipped with five essential elements:
1. High-bandwidth/low-latency switching
2. Convergence to Ethernet
3. Massive virtualization for agile workloads
4. Scalable management
5. Advanced energy efficiency

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
