Using Network Recording and Search to Improve IT Service DeliveryEmulex Corporation
For organizations that depend critically on their network to provide services to both internal and external customers, understanding why quality of service issues occur is critical. An emerging tool in Network Performance Management and Diagnostics (NPMD) is network recording and search, which allows network operations (NetOps) staff to identify issues in service and application delivery.
Finding the right data (whether packets, netflows, or otherwise) to understand why your application is underperforming is often like finding a needle in a haystack. In most cases, you have to find exactly the right set of packets to understand why you have a service performance issue or a service failure. As organizations move from 1Gb Ethernet to 10Gb Ethernet to 40/100Gb Ethernet (1GbE, 10GbE, 40/100GbE), the “amount of hay” is increasing by orders of magnitude. However, most network recording and search devices on the market today cannot keep up with data rates beyond a few gigabits per second, and have to “sample” the network traffic. In this context, selecting the right network recording and search device means the difference between understanding and resolving your problem quickly, and spending days or weeks trying to randomly capture the right packets.
In this webinar, we’ll explore the different options that organizations have for recording and mining network traffic to identify and resolve ITSM issues. We'll explore what matters most when your applications fail, and share some best-practice insights gleaned from working with customers that run some of the largest and most critical data networks on the planet.

Design and implementation of intelligent community system based on thin clien...ijasuc
With the continuous development of science and technology, the intelligent development of community
system becomes a trend. Meanwhile, smart mobile devices and cloud computing technology are
increasingly used in intelligent information systems; however, smart mobile devices such as smartphone
and smart pad, also known as thin clients, limited by either their capacities (CPU, memory or battery) or
their network resources, do not always meet users' satisfaction in using mobile services. Mobile cloud
computing, in which resource-rich virtual machines of smart mobile device are provided to a customer as a
service, can be terrific solution for expanding the limitation of real smart mobile device, but the resources
utilization rate is low and the information cannot be shared easily. To address the problems above, this
paper proposes an information system for intelligent community, which is composed of thin clients, wide
band network and cloud computing servers. On one hand, the thin clients with the characteristics of energy
efficiency, high robustness and high computing capacity can efficiently avoid the problems encountered in
the PC architecture and mobile devices. On the other hand, the cloud computing servers in the proposed
information system solve the problems of resource sharing barriers. Finally, the system is built in real
environments to evaluate the performance. We deploy the proposed system in a community with more than
2000 residents, and it is demonstrated that the proposed system is robust and efficient.

The video discusses the different forces that act on the earth's crust and how they cause deformation through various mechanisms. Compression causes squeezing and increases density, tension causes pulling and decreases density, and shearing causes twisting. These forces result in fracturing, faulting, and folding of rocks in the crust. Fractures are cracks, faults are cracks with lateral movement, and folds are bends in rock layers. Anticlines are upward folds and synclines are downward folds. Various factors like temperature, pressure, rock type, and rate of force application determine whether rocks fault or fold when subjected to deformation.

IoT Architecture - are traditional architectures good enough?Guido Schmutz
Independent of the source of data, the integration of event streams into an Enterprise Architecture gets more and more important in the world of sensors, social media streams and Internet of Things. Events have to be accepted quickly and reliably, they have to be distributed and analysed, often with many consumers or systems interested in all or part of the events. Dependent on the size and quantity of such events, this can quickly be in the range of Big Data. How can we efficiently collect and transmit these events? How can we make sure that we can always report over historical events? How can these new events be integrated into traditional infrastructure and application landscape?
Starting with a product and technology neutral reference architecture, we will then present different solutions using Open Source frameworks and the Oracle Stack both for on premises as well as the cloud.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).

23. What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is Internet ("cloud") based
development and use of computer technology
whereby dynamically scalable and often
virtualised resources are provided as a service over
the Internet.
Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or
control over the technology infra‐structure "in the
cloud" that supports them.
The concept incorporates software as a service
(SaaS), Web 2.0 and other recent, well‐known
technology trends, in which the common theme is
reliance on the Internet for satisfying the
computing needs of users.

• 1x 100w PC = 1 KwH for 10 hrs
• 100 x PCs = 100 Kwh for 10 hrs
• 1000 PCs = 1 MwH for 20 hrs
• 1000 PCs = 200 MwH for 1 year
• Electricity = 20c / KwH or $200 / MwH
• 1000 PCs = $40,000 a year
30. End User Technologies
Thin Client Computing
Traditional Network
Each application runs locally on every PC. The
local network is sufficient to carry the
necessary data between servers and PCs, but
remote connections are too slow to support
remote users
Thin Client Network
The Thin Client server runs applications on behalf
of the users, and only sends monitor, keyboard
and mouse information to the user's PC or
terminal. Remote connections are able to
support this small amount of data, allowing
remote users to run office applications at speeds
similar to that of office users.
