Simplify Data Center Monitoring With a Single-Pane ViewHitachi Vantara
Keeping IT systems up and well tuned requires constant attention, but the task is too often complicated by separate monitoring tools required to watch applications, servers, networks and storage. This white paper discusses how system administrators can consolidate oversight of these components, particularly where DataCore SANsymphony V storage hypervisor virtualizes the storage resources. Such visibility is made possible through the integration of SANsymphony-V with Hitachi IT Operations Analyzer.
Fully leveraging your data, infrastructure, and IT staff has never been more important than it is now, during these times of fiscal responsibility and evolving business demands. In response, businesses need to maximize their IT by getting increased performance, efficiency, and economics out of their infrastructure and resources.
This presentation focuses on three key technologies that provide particularly compelling opportunities to maximize IT:
-All-flash systems that accelerate access to information for faster decision-making, analysis and productivity.
-Unified storage solutions that enable you to process more, and diverse, workloads in less time while driving capacity efficiencies.
-Unified compute solutions that deliver improved orchestration and automation and enhance the productivity of your IT staff, while avoiding costly over- or under-provisioning.

OSDC 2018 | Highly Available Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes by Cornelius SchumacherNETWAYS
This presentation will show how Cloud Foundry, the popular Platform as a Service framework, is deployed and configured to run in a highly available fashion on Kubernetes. It will show how to avoid single points of failures using Kubernetes features like stateful sets, readiness and liveness probes, etc. This includes how high availability extends to applications deployed by the end users of Cloud Foundry so they don’t have to worry about downtime. The presentation will include a demo of a disruptive agent simulating failures across the Kubernetes nodes and containers, while user applications are still alive and healthy. This presentation shows a real-life production use case for Kubernetes. This can be used as an example and to learn about the high-availability related features of Kubernetes. It also presents how the Kubernetes stack can be extended with Cloud Foundry to also cover the use case of Platform as a Service.
Run Book Automation with PlateSpin OrchestrateNovell
his session will describe how to use PlateSpin Orchestrate for tasks beyond virtualization management. Run Book Automation can support the IT operation in a variety of processes, including monitoring, ticket enrichment, problem diagnosis, change and repair, optimization and virtualization, system management and disaster recovery. IDC predicts that data center management will be required to implement higher automation in all fields of system operation.
This session will show what the typical use cases for Run Book Automation are, how PlateSpin Orchestrate fits the requirement for an automation implementation platform, and where in the enterprise IT infrastructure it can be implemented organically and in manageable steps.
A number of implementation examples, such as a disaster recovery implementation for SAP components, prove that automation is not necessarily a huge step, and that even limited projects can lead to a quick return on investment. Implementation details in code and project examples, a technical demo and a tour of the existing example code will conclude the session.

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!
