Thinking about SDN and whether it is the right approach for your organization? Have you heard about Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure and F5 Synthesis yet? The path to radically simplify and accelerate application deployment and datacenter agility can be a phased approach that leverages your existing investment. Rapid delivery of applications to anyone, anywhere, at any time is complex—and many businesses struggle with it.

A conflict emerges when people/consumers/employees are accumulating devices (avg. person carries 3) and want to use those for work while organizations are in the process of consolidating infrastructure and the amount of devices they need to manage. Providing employees with anywhere, anytime access is the top reason for VDI interest. Other important areas include the ability to centrally manage desktops to boost efficiency, reduce the cost in upgrading or purchasing desktop computers, the ability to automate and have a robust disaster recovery plan, providing enhanced control over data security along with no limitation on end point devices.

Architecting and Tuning IIB/eXtreme Scale for Maximum Performance and Reliabi...Prolifics
Abstract: Recent projects have stressed the "need for speed" while handling large amounts of data, with near zero downtime. An analysis of multiple environments has identified optimizations and architectures that improve both performance and reliability. The session covers data gathering and analysis, discussing everything from the network (multiple NICs, nearby catalogs, high speed Ethernet), to the latest features of extreme scale. Performance analysis helps pinpoint where time is spent (bottlenecks) and we discuss optimization techniques (MQ tuning, IIB performance best practices) as well as helpful IBM support pacs. Log Analysis pinpoints system stress points (e.g. CPU starvation) and steps on the path to near zero downtime.
Operationalize the network to affect positive cultural change across IT silos to accelerate time to market because the second place is the first loser in an application world.

As application development becomes more agile, and the ability to rapidly create and iterate new innovations escalates, so too does the need to be able to rapidly scale up the solutions that become successful. Equally it is common to create solutions with relatively short life-cycles and so we need to be able to scale down to recover resources too. On a more fine grained level, to make efficient use of shared platforms such as Kubernetes, we need to be able to dynamically scale applications up and down based on fine grained demand. Inevitably all these challenges are just as important for the integration between applications. This session explores what scalability means for the key areas of integration technology - application integration, API management and messaging.

Best Practices for Monitoring Your Cloud Environment and ApplicationsProlifics
Abstract: You have completed the heavy lifting of migrating applications to the cloud. But you are not done yet. What is your monitoring strategy for the cloud? What are the best practices to monitor the cloud infrastructure, deployed applications and end user experience? In this session, we will be answering these questions and explore the various IBM APM and Analytics offerings that will help you in your decision making process. Having a comprehensive monitoring strategy is critical as most customers use a combination of public and private cloud environments and being able to monitor these using a fully integrated and customizable solution is essential to the health, availability and performance of the cloud deployed applications and services.
World Wide Technology walks through how Cisco ONE can enable businesses to maintain customer service and meet the needs of end users while continuing to improve hardware
stacks. Cisco ONE can help identify how many licenses
you own and how effectively they are being utilized.
Every three to five years, IT departments are forced
to throw away 40 to 60 percent of their investments to
acquire assets and software to run it because of
changes in hardware. With Cisco ONE, now you can
procure hardware and software separately and own
and maintain your software licenses perpetually.

February 2014 Update on F5 Synthesis Program, delivered by Pat Fiorino in Toronto at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Prepared for IT decision- makers and administrators.
While F5 supports the whole range of the Horizon Suite, this reference architecture focuses on the Horizon View component of VMware’s overall End User Computing solutions.
F5 APM VE, optimized for VMware Horizon View, delivers secure access, traffic management, and simplified deployment for VMware Horizon View
clients. F5 is able to deliver several capabilities unique to the APM/Horizon View solution, including:
• Single namespace, which reduces the burden on administrators of managing user access to a globally distributed VDI, while ensuring that users are always securely connected to their preferred desktop at the appropriate data center.
• PCoIP proxy, simplifying Horizon View architectures, and delivering hardened security and increased scalability. (BTW, F5 was the first vendor to provide this functionality.)
• Secure remote and local access, and integration with AAA services, and single sign-on (SSO) which streamlines the user experience, while improving both security and productivity.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.
