Launched in 2009, Cisco’s Hierarchy Management Platform aimed at consolidating and improving master data management by creating a one-stop shop for Enterprise hierarchies. Fast forward seven years and the mission has expanded to something even more intriguing: utilizing cross-hierarchy relationships to simplify and automate Cisco’s functional processes. Enabled by Neo4j, these relationships (and graphical visualizations of these relationships) are fundamentally changing how Cisco conducts operations globally.
This discussion is intended for technical and non-technical audiences, focusing primarily on Enterprise hierarchy strategy, hierarchy data capabilities, and unlocking actionable business insights.
Cloud system configurations and their dependencies can quickly grow into the thousands of virtual machine, network and storage components. Once software is included, the number of components can easily rise into six figures.
Frequent releases using continuous integration and deployment tools makes a repository of these components and relationships absolutely critical to cloud system integrity and quality of service no matter what cloud management tools you use.
Systems configurations are more naturally represented using a graph database than the relational representations used by traditional IT management products.
Our talk will explore how we use Neo4J to create a live, active, self-updating repository service, containing nearly all virtual hardware, network and software components and their dependencies, enabling continuous deployment in any cloud environment at scale.
This topic introduces the need of a unique architecture style for Cloud Native application deployments. Further, the fitment of DevOps, usage of Microservices and the runtime of Cloud Native application (* as a Service) are covered in detail. The need of distributed computing in Cloud for Cloud Native applications is trivial to understand. Insights on the same are covered.
Ensuring Cloud Native Success: Organization TransformationChloe Jackson
Are you being asked to put more cloud in your strategy? If you’re like most people, the answer is a definite yes. The word “cloud” can mean so many things, however, that making an actionable strategy is impossible. At Pivotal, we divide cloud into two distinct parts: migrating as many legacy applications into SaaS as possible and focusing on perfecting the software you build in-house that runs your business. Gartner is predicting that by 2020, 75% of applications used to support digital businesses will be built in-house. If you’re one of these companies, you’ll need to quickly evaluate how you develop and run your custom written software.
We believe that soon, every company will either be a software company or losing to a competitor who is. It’s time to focus on the craft of managing the software development life-cycle, and this brief, but dense webinar will help launch your efforts to become a software defined business.
Join us in the last installment in our series: Organization Transformation - to get the full benefit of a cloud native approach, you'll likely need to change how your organization functions and behaves: you'll have to change its culture. When software is thought of more as ongoing products instead of discrete projects, the way the IT department is managed and run changes accordingly. This last part covers the motivations for those changes and outlines how to start transforming everyday management, strategy, staffing, and operations to become a cloud native enterprise.

vCloud Automation Center provides powerful capabilities for policy-based orchestration of complex infrastructure and application deployments. A Platform as a Service (PaaS) such as Pivotal CF, built on the open-source Cloud Foundry, presents a set of abstractions and capabilities that focus on the application implementation and the run-time services it will leverage.
The value of a PaaS installation is equally driven by the set of application-centric capabilities provided, such as performance monitoring or logging, and by the set of services that can easily be integrated into an application; exposing the offerings in the vCloud Automation Center services catalog for leverage by apps deployed into Pivotal CF allows an enterprise faster time to value. And a vCloud Automation Center user can model system deployments, automating infrastructure provisioning and software deployments; this modeling is equally valuable even when the targets of the orchestrations are the PaaS abstractions of applications and services.
These products are very complementary and we’ll show you how. Understand how the combined vCloud Automation Center / Pivotal CF solutions provide the basis for a comprehensive PaaS solution. See a demo of and roadmap for the integrated solution. Learn how to use vCloud Automation Center to model applications for deployment into Pivotal CF and how to draw vCloud Automation Center services into Pivotal CF.
After a brief overview of both products, we will describe the capabilities and derived value of the joint solution that will have early access availability at the time of the conference.

Accelerating Scientific Research Through Machine Learning and GraphNeo4j
Miroculus is a molecular diagnostics company that leverages the potential of microRNAs as biomarkers and has created the most easy-to-use and automated platform for their detection. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules, whose primary role is to regulate the expression of our genes. Their discovery in circulation of body fluids such as blood plasma/serum, urine and saliva has been followed up by a multitude of studies, providing evidence that detection of specific microRNA molecules can give clues about a person’s health status and may therefore be used as biomarkers for various conditions.
Loom is an up-to-date snapshot of the scientific literature landscape focused on microRNAs that we built to expedite our own research. As of today, there is no compelling way to access much of the microRNA research. By using Loom's easy-to-use, interactive UI, the researcher is able to quickly locate the relevant sentences across many publications relating specific microRNAs with her disease or gene of interest. With this tool, our objective is to provide a visually compelling and complete overview of how microRNAs relate to specific diseases and genes.
At the backend, Loom is comprised of 4 microservices. The first one is a listener that fetches new publications daily that are available in the NCBI databases: PubMed for abstracts and PMC for full-text, open-access publications. Then, a natural language processor scans the publication, breaking them down into their constituent sentences and detecting mentions of microRNAs, genes and diseases.
Within each sentence, a machine learning scorer evaluates the strength and type of relationship on a scale from 0 to 1 and outputs the results in a graph database. The resulting graph database is then queried in real-time by the UI to retrieve the sentences and relationships the user is interested in.
Knowledge Architecture: Graphing Your KnowledgeNeo4j
Ask any project manager and they will tell you the importance of reviewing lessons learned prior to starting a new project. The lesson learned databases are filled with nuggets of valuable information to help project teams increase the likelihood of project success. Why then do most lesson learned databases go unused by project teams? In my experience, they are difficult to search through and require hours of time to review the result set.
Recently I had a project engineer ask me if we could search our lessons learned using a list of 22 key terms the team was interested in. Our current keyword search engine would require him to enter each term individually, select the link, and save the document for review. Also, there was no way to search only the database, the query would search our entire corpus, close to 20 million URLs. This would not do. I asked our search team if they would run a special query against the lesson database only, using the terms provided. They returned a spreadsheet with a link to each document containing the terms. The engineer had his work cut out for him: over 1100 documents were on the list;.
I started thinking there had to be a better way. I had been experimenting with topic modeling, in particular to assist our users in connecting seemingly disparate documents through an easier visualization mechanism. Something better than a list of links on multiple pages. I gathered my toolbox: R/RStudio, for the topic modeling and exploring the data; Neo4j, for modeling and visualizing the topics; and Linkurious, a web front end for our users to search and visualize the graph database.

An Introduction to Container Organization with Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Meso...Neo4j
Interest in Docker has increased significantly since its inception. According to a report compiled by a leading cloud-scale monitoring company, Datadog, two-thirds of the companies that try Docker adopt it, and the adopters have increased their container count by five times over a period of nine months. Neo4j has also embraced Docker by supporting official images and also offering specific images of its own.
While the interest in container technology is growing rapidly, so is the need to deploy containers over a cluster of machines to allow scalability and fault-tolerance. This highlights the need for orchestration which refers to the idea of automating the manual process of deploying, configuring and scaling the containers in an automated manner.
In this talk, we provide a hands-on introduction to the three most popular Docker orchestration tools: Kubernetes, Docker Swarm and Mesos. This talk offers a conceptual understanding of each of these technologies along with an insight into the concepts learned through a series of three demos. The demos will illustrate how to deploy and automatically scale a Neo4j container using each of the three orchestration platforms.
We realize that the scope of the topic in terms of the orchestration tools is too broad. The rationale behind choosing the three specific tools is based on the following two reasons: First is their potential use in our cluster at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital (CCHMC). Secondly, they also fall under the leading orchestration tools.
Neo4j is a powerful and expressive tool for storing, querying and manipulating data. However modeling data as graphs is quite different from modeling data under a relational database. In this talk, Michael Hunger will cover modeling business domains using graphs and show how they can be persisted and queried in Neo4j. We'll contrast this approach with the relational model, and discuss the impact on complexity, flexibility and performance.
Virtualization has been an integral part of IT planning for effective resource optimization, management simplification and isolation on Data Centres. Because Virtualization touches multiple layers in the Data Centre, understanding the full scope of Virtualization technologies is required for effective planning, design and deployments. The effects are applicable to Classical Ethernet, Data Centre Bridging and SDN; Unified IO, Unified Fabric & Unified Computing; servers of multiple types & hypervisors; virtual machines, virtual switches, virtual service nodes, virtualized adapters, storage, cloud orchestration and transport environments which taken collectively require in-depth understanding for an end–to-end strategy.

Panama Papers and Beyond: Unveiling Secrecy with GraphsNeo4j
The media start-up International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has been breaking the secrecy surrounding tax havens for the past four years, but graph databases helped take their investigative power to the next level. Learn how their reporters used graphs to unveil patterns of crime and corruption in exposés like the Panama Papers and how millions of people have now become investigators by using the Neo4j-powered Offshore Leaks Database, one of the largest repositories of offshore companies in the world.
We have created a large Neo4j database that integrates the results from text mining, experimental data and biological background knowledge. The utility of this graph is two fold:
- Identify promising compounds to be tested as a starting point for drug development.
- Better understand the results of large scale compound testing in cellular assays using imaging technology.
Currently the database contains 25 million article abstracts, data for 2 million compounds and 60000 genes – overall 29 million nodes and 270 million relationships.
We show some details about how the graph was built and show examples how combining text mining with experimental results leads to new insights and to better understanding and design in biological experiments.
In this webinar we'll explore a data set using Neo4j and Cypher and compare the approach we might take with a relational database and SQL. We'll cover the following topics: Modeling the data set Importing the data Querying the data Evolving the model and queries as the data changes.

Romain CAMPOURCY – Architecte Solution, Sopra Steria
Patrick MEYER – Architecte IA Groupe, Sopra Steria
La Génération de Récupération Augmentée (RAG) permet la réponse à des questions d’utilisateur sur un domaine métier à l’aide de grands modèles de langage. Cette technique fonctionne correctement lorsque la documentation est simple mais trouve des limitations dès que les sources sont complexes. Au travers d’un projet que nous avons réalisé, nous vous présenterons l’approche GraphRAG, une nouvelle approche qui utilise une base Neo4j générée pour améliorer la compréhension des documents et la synthèse d’informations. Cette méthode surpasse l’approche RAG en fournissant des réponses plus holistiques et précises.
