The OMG DDS (Data Distribution Service) is a standard for data
distribution which is widely used as the foundation for operational
systems such as air traffic control and management, combat systems,
distributed telemetry and control, etc. On the other hand, HLA (High
Level Architecture) is a communication and coordination standard which
is widely adopted in the distributed simulation community.
DDS is increasingly gaining adoption in distributed simulation,
especially for those systems that require high throughput, low
latencies and scalability. In addition, the use of DDS in simulation
provides native interoperability between operational and simulated
systems, thus eliminating integration overhead and complexities.
This presentation introduces DDS and HLA, provide an apple-to-apple
comparison between the two standards and show how DDS and HLA systems
can be seamlessly integrated together.
These are slides from a talk I gave on 19 April, 2012, at the Object Management Group's (OMG's) Real-Time Workshop in Paris, France. The purpose of the talk was to describe the ways in which building applications is different from building platforms and systems, especially with respect to patterns of communication. Specifically, the recognized messaging patterns make sense at an application layer but are often too limiting and brittle within the software infrastructure itself.

Communication Patterns Using Data-Centric Publish/SubscribeSumant Tambe
Fundamental to any distributed system are communication patterns: point-to-point, request-reply, transactional queues, and publish-subscribe. Large distributed systems often employ two or more communication patterns. Using a single middleware that supports multiple communication patterns is a very cost-effective way of developing and maintaining large distributed systems. This talk will begin with an introduction of Data Distribution Service (DDS) – an OMG standard – that supports data-centric publish-subscribe communication for real-time distributed systems. DDS separates state management and distribution from application logic and supports discoverable data models. The talk will then describe how RTI Connext Messaging goes beyond vanilla DDS and implements various communication patterns including request-reply, command-response, and guaranteed delivery. You will also learn how these patterns can be combined to create interesting variations when the underlying substrate is as powerful as DDS. We’ll also discuss APIs for creating high-performance applications using the request-reply communication pattern.

Data Center 101: What to Look for in a Colocation ProviderHostway|HOSTING
When you’re evaluating possible colocation providers, the sheer amount of information can be overwhelming. However, there are distinct characteristics of the physical building, security, network and more that you must consider.
Can your data center handle demand for more infrastructure over the next 12-18 months?
Before settling on a data center provider, make sure you know how to analyze your top data center needs.
Three Best Practices for Optimizing your IT Infrastructure
In a survey by the Uptime Institute, 42% of enterprise data center managers reported that they would run out of power capacity within 24 months. This statistic isn't surprising when you consider that today's IT hardware requires more power-distribution air conditioning and UPS capacity than in the past.
What steps is your data center taking to mitigate the detrimental disruptions of availability, reliability and uptime caused by a loss of capacity?
To view the recorded webinar event, please visit http://www.42u.com/it-optimization-webinar.htm
Will 2016 be the year that cloud kills the data center? Will the race to the edge continue? Following are my predictions for the trends I expect to dominate the data center industry in 2016.

Cloud computing comes in many varieties. Have you been wondering about the real state of adoption? Or how to plan your migration? This presentation will use findings from a recent CDW Tracking Poll on Cloud Computing to showcase current cloud adoption and challenges. Issues such as: security of data, lack of formal adoption strategies and the percent of IT budgets actually being allocated to the cloud will be addressed.
Challenges aside, this session will also review the benefits of moving to the cloud along with “5 Steps to Help You Get Started.” Attendees at this event will also receive a copy of the CDW 2011 Cloud Computing Tracking Poll and Cloud Computing Reference Guide “Making The Cloud Achievable.” If you are planning to attend this session, please stop by the CDW Vendor Page and let us know if there are any specific questions you’d like for us to address.
Cloud Computing is a growing research topic in recent years. The key concept of Cloud Computing is to provide a resource sharing model based on virtualization, distributed file system, parallel algorithm and web services. But how can we provide a testbed for cloud computing related training courses? In this talk we will share our experience to build cloud computing testbed for virtualization, high throughput computing and bioinformatics applications. It covers lots of open source projects, such as DRBL, Xen, Hadoop and bioinformatics related applications.
In short, Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL) provides a diskless or systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS and SuSE. DRBL uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware.
Xen is one of open source hypervisor for linux kernel. It had been used in Amazon EC2 production environment to provide cloud service model (1) — "Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)". In this talk, we will show you how DRBL can help on fast deployment of Xen playground in classroom.
Hadoop is becoming the well-known open source cloud computing technology developed by Apache community. It is very power tool for data mining. It had been used in Yahoo and Facebook production environment to provide cloud service model (2) — "Platform as a Service (PaaS)". It’s easy to setup single hadoop node but difficult to manage a hadoop cluster. In this talk, we will show you how DRBL can help on fast deployment and management.
Most bioinformatics applications are open source, such as R, Bioconductor, BLAST, Clustal, PipMaker, Phylip, etc. But it also require traditional cluster job submission. In this talk we will show you how DRBL can help to build a testbed of bioinformatics research and provide cloud service model (3) — "Software as a Service (SaaS)". In this talk, we will cover how to:
- 1. Use DRBL to deploy Xen virtual cluster (drbl-xen)
- 2. Use DRBL to deploy Hadoop cluster (drbl-hadoop)
- 3. Use DRBL to deploy bioinformatics cluster (drbl-biocluster)
A live demonstration about drbl-hadoop and drbl-biocluster will be done in the talk, too.

Is there a magic security bullet anymore? Can we ever feel safe because we have a UTM or Layer 7 Firewalls? Can one security product vendor get it all done for you? What is the right combination of products and processes that can achieve the highest possible security posture for your organization?
These are questions that CIO’s and IT Executives have been asking themselves as of late with the rise of advanced persistent threats (APTs). Unlike traditional Malware and Viruses, new Crimeware and APTs completely hijack your equipment and operate in stealth so that they are more capable of going undetected.
This topic has become an issue of National Security; the biggest businesses in the US are struggling, even with their dedicated security teams.
So, what is a medium business of 100-5000 users to do?
Don’t wait for your installed products to find Malware and Crimeware! Traditional tools are woeful and inadequate.
Over the next 3 months, the CIO Executive Series will review 13 new approaches to Malware/Crimeware defense in order to better prepare you for the upcoming battle you’re sure to fight.
We will help you change the rules of the game by becoming proactive in rooting out malware!
Make it hard for these malicious APTs to operate in stealth.

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).

Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

3. The Way We Were
Back in 2001 we had:
Slow broadband
Very little WIFI
No iPhones, smartphones, no tablets, no 4G
No Twitter or Facebook
Only half dozen “programs” on the typical PC
The “Cloud” was part of a network diagram

4. How far we have come…
Video, Photo, Media, Open Source, Mobility, BYOD, Big Data
The Shadow

5. The Promise and The Pitch
Economics
“Lower cost, transition from CAPX to OPX, and low initial outlay, data
center costs, etc.”
Flexibility
“Ability to scale up and down rapidly based on needs. You don’t have
to build enough infrastructure for peak load, just have bur$table
capacity”
Breakdown Technology Asset Boundaries
“Start to break down silos between memory, CPU, storage, and
network, and treat them all as resources, ties in to flexibility
Focus
“IT can focus on business applications and purposes, instead of
commoditized maintenance which takes up to 80% of their time”

6. MRIS and How We Got Here
Brief Background on MRIS –
Support for the cloud effort/analysis (C level, board,
evangelist)
Systems considered for the migration (MRIS systems)
A 3 year history of those systems- vendor relationships,
etc. (CS migration, floor space, etc.)

7. Preparation for a Cloud Analysis
Your domain = the cloud domain – consider your new
domains
The Homework Before the Work- Cloud Security Alliance
Domains (all three sections below covered by our doc,
include open source, open stack, POC’s, performance)
Cloud Architecture
Governing in the Cloud - OS
Operating in the Cloud

8. The Change in Paradigm
Change and Shift in
Paradigm (working on
solutions versus working on
services, maintain expertise)
What does this mean to
people’s jobs? Shifting
skillsets. And again,
existing relationships.
What does CIO mean
again?

The Analysis
How to look at the opportunity clearly and what to
analyze - our approach

10. The Analysis Item Relevance
*****BUFFER You need a BUFFER
*****CSP Skillset based on your needs OS (DR), difficulty in deployment, architecture
*****CSP Understanding of your Environment This one will surprise you
There is a lot to *****DC Floor Space Current contracts and costs
*****Equipment Management - Server, NW, Storage Current contracts, existing relationships
consider in your *****OS Management Updates, tiers of management
analysis. All these *****Replication and backups Point to Point, Distance, Means of Replication, CSP Skillset, 30% of CIO’s
*****Servers Architecture/Manufacturer High risk changes (POC)
line items require a *****Shared or Private or Hybrid Based on Performance needs and
comparison of your Virtualization Boundaries Virtualization Boundaries
*****SLA, Contract, Terms, Termination Adding systems, removing systems, your access to systems
current *****Storage Architecture/Manufacturer High risk changes (POC)
environment to that *****Who is providing you the support? Third party or the CSP
Application management CSP skillset, ability and willingness, current contracts

provider. CSP Partnerships VAR's, Manufacturers, etc.
CSP Reputation Check around, find current customers you know, don’t settle on references
Current Licensing Costs V Cloud VM, SSL, OS, DB, Malware, ASL
A lot of leg work is Data Center Locations Geographically dispersed, access for staff
required for current Database Architecture Virtualization Boundaries!
Database Management CSP skillset, ability and willingness, current contracts
contract costs and DISASTER RECOVERY Where is your recovery site?
terms, lease Equipment Ownership - Server, NW, Storage Current Leases, their termination dates, overall cost
Global Load Balancing So there is DR - how do you get to it?
expiration,
HW Refresh Guarantee? Current leases. Need for refresh and performance, extra costs?
bandwidth costs, Does the CSP offer what you need to accomplish fault tolerance and
etc. Load Balancing redundancy
Monitoring Application, Circuit, System - Notification
Network Architecture/Manufacturer High risk changes (POC)
We’ve selected a One-time setup fees CSP, your app vendors, your staff, travel expenses
few to give you our Performance Needs Level of Performance, Bursts, consistent usage? Can it be shared
POC? Costs? Recovery of cost? POC!, POC, POC!
insight approach Power /Ping and Pipe - HQ Between sites and your offices/data centers
and outcome on. Power/Ping and Pipe - Hosting Current contracts, their cost, durations, capable of bursts
SSL Management Related to NW, CSP skillset, ability and willingness
What about your staff What about all your other solutions, what about in-house expertise

12. Back to the Promise – Pros and Cons
A comprehensive analysis of your needs in a cloud solution will enlighten your teams on the
potential of cloud computing for your enterprise, understand the strengths that you have built
in your solutions and uncover weaknesses that may be present.
Know who you are – the CSP’s may not (small, medium, large)
