This presentation was from Joomla day 2016 held right here in KLCC Malaysia. Astiostech presented several important factors to consider when monitoring a web service with of course special focus on Joomla. However, these guidelines can be used for just about any web service you may want to monitor. Monitoring is pivotal to a web infrastructure and it should not be considered today as a luxury. With tools like Nagios XI, we can simply start monitoring with mere clicks of a web browser and you're pretty much on the right track.

Porting ASP.NET applications to Windows AzureGunnar Peipman
Hosting applications on Windows Azure is simple but there are things to change when cloud-enabling existing web applications because cloud is conceptually different than on-premises or shared hosting environment. This sessions goes through main issues one will face when moving applications to cloud. Real-life examples provide elegant solutions to problems and through demos the audience will see how to deploy applications to cloud and how to test and run cloud and hybrid applications on your development machine.

UiPath has made great strides towards allowing developers to securely store assets and credentials in the UiPath Orchestrator while using Excel config files for any solution configuration that we might need to store or manipulate, specifically when using the REFramework. There are a few challenges that pop up when using Excel files which do have work arounds available. Developers have explored more robust, longer term, solutions to get around this with additional functionality. During this session, we hope to work through some of these solutions.
Python is a great programming language that works great with Cassandra. If your goal is to get your project into production quickly and iterate fast, Python is a great solution.

Performance happens. Whether you're designed for it or not it doesn’t matter, she is always invited to the party (and you better find her in a good mood). Knowing the cost of every operation, and how it distributes on every subsystem will ensure that when you are building that proof-of-concept (that always ends up in production) or designing the latest’s enterprise-grade application; you will know where those pesky performance bugs like to inhabit. In this session, we will go deep into the inner working of every performance sensitive subsystem. From the relative safety of the client to the binary world of Voron.

A session on how to modernise and cloud-integrate traditional files servers using Azure File Sync. The solution will introduce ransomware-resistant backup, disaster recovery, multi-location cloud sync, and tiered storage.
CloudControl - Enterprise backup, access and collaboartion solution from Soft...ILYA ROITMAN
Your employees are using cloud-based services to share sensitive company data with one another, vendors, customers and partners. They are syncing data to their personal devices and home computers, all in an effort to get their job faster and without IT permission. Consumer cloud-based file sharing services have your sensitive company data stored on servers outside of your control, outside of your policy and regulatory guidelines – maybe even outside your country.
CloudControl solves all these problems.
On-site, out of the box integration into existing environments, the flexibility to expand to meet unique requirements, and ease-of-use that end users demand

Vaultize Cloud Architecture - Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS)Vaultize
Enterprises are facing enormous security, data loss and compliance risks with increased mobility of workforce and proliferation of consumer file sharing services together with mobile devices in the enterprise network.
Vaultize is an enterprise-grade platform for secure file sharing, anywhere access, mobile collaboration, endpoint backup and mobility - together with mobile content maanagement (MCM), endpoint encryption, remote wiping and Google Apps backup - that helps enterprises mitigate these risks with complete enterprise control and visibility on the use of unstructured data. It is the only solution that does military-grade (AES 256bit) encryption together with de-duplication at source (patent pending) – making it the most secure and efficient solution in the world. Vaultize comes with highest level of enterprise-grade security, scalability, performance, robustness and reliability.
Vaultize is the first EFSS vendor to fully integrate EMM into a single offering – giving enterprises complete control and visibility over the sensitive corporate data, irrespective of the device used for accessing and sharing – facilitating increased adoption of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) even in highly regulated and security-conscious verticals. Vaultize now includes Mobile Device Management (MDM) features such as remote wipe, data containerization, storage and network encryption, PIN protection and white-listing of apps for mitigation of security and protection concerns with BYOD. Vaultize goes beyond MDM with features like automatic wiping based on geo-location or IP address or time-out. It further facilitates Mobile Content Management (MCM) through access rights and allows corporate IT to prevent data loss, security and compliance breaches by controlling what users can do with corporate data on their mobile devices using natively built-in document editor.
Public sector customers can now leverage Amazon WorkSpaces; a fully managed desktop computing service in the cloud. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, customers can provision a high-quality cloud desktop experience for any number of users at a cost that is highly competitive with traditional desktops and half the cost of most virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions.
Never go back to tape again! Learn about the advantages of Cloud Backup and the considerations in defining your strategy at both the diocese and church level.

Editor's Notes
Welcome everyone to my first Lunch & Learn session. I’m starting off with this slide to make sure you have my updated contact information. Just so everyone is up to date, I am no longer with TriCore Logic, Inc. I have gone back under jasonwray.net, LLC as of the beginning of 2012. My wife, Sarah, is helping with answering phones & scheduling of appointments. I also have a contractor base of technicians at my disposal, and can pull in any of these techs at anytime I need, even nationwide. These techs are background checked, drug tested, and I can hand pick the ones that have certain certifications as I need them. Usually I will pick the same person to service a particular area. I have been very pleased with how this has worked so far this year, and some of you have had the opportunity of having one of these techs out at your office. The point of this lunch today is to get you up to speed on cloud products that I am offering, but I also want to answer questions you may have about cloud services in general. As much as I would like to sell you on some of these cloud products today, my intention is to educate you on the cloud, so I am putting my sales pitch off until the end of the session, and only if we have time to go over those. So let’s get right to it. CLICK!
Is it looking cloudy outside? Of course it is, because everything is moving to the cloud. Let’s begin by defining what the cloud is – the Internet. Easy as that. There are different varieties and terms that you may hear thrown around – hybrid cloud, hosted services, online services, but they all come back to one thing, the Internet. Hybrid cloud is one I want to touch on later, because it is somewhat different, but let’s focus on cloud first. CLICK!
Items you may use in the Cloud. The biggest of these is (CLICK) email. If you have not heard of (CLICK) Hosted Exchange, what rock have you been hiding under? Seems like everyone is talking about doing hosted email, and hosted Exchange is the product that everyone tries to sell. Hosted Exchange has it’s place. I even moved to it for my email since I figured if I was going to sell it, I better test drive it. It is nice for smaller offices, but there is a break-even point where the cost of the hosted is more than purchasing a server & hosting it in your office. I figured this out a while back & it’s about 13 users. If you have more than 13 users in your office, it will cost you about the same price to have your own server with Microsoft Exchange, and have someone like me install that for you. I did not include the cost of maintenance on the server & such, because you are still going to have maintenance costs with the hosted side as well. You are still going to have problems, and you need to consider that when you purchase this product (HINT HINT). You will want to purchase from someone who can support it, and either include that cost with their product (HINT HINT), or can give you an estimate of what it’s going to cost ongoing to support it. Questions? CLICK!Documents – This is another biggie in the cloud, with lots of questions around it that I won’t be able to dive into today. The services available for this are a dime a dozen, but the big players are (CLICK) Google, and Microsoft. As far as security goes, Microsoft SharePoint is going to be the best, and I can get you the details of that some other time. All of them are secure enough, because they require you to sign on in same fashion to be able to access the website where they are hosted. Google Drive just came out with a downloadable program that you can install on your desktop. SharePoint allows you to map drives to your document locations. All of these products can be shared with other users, either in your organization or outside. SharePoint is mostly for within your organization though, and would be difficult to setup for outside users. Questions? CLICKBackup – Backup is another big one & prices are dropping on this. Online storage costs are so low right now, and it makes complete sense to store more & more online. Online backup is easy, so long as you have internet connection, you can schedule this to run at any time. You don’t have to worry about it happening, as long as your computer is powered on, and connected. There are may services available – free or otherwise – but you will only hear about (CLICK) my service today. It can be managed by someone like me, I can get alerts and let you know when it fails, send you reports on a regular basis to show that it’s working. And there are many different pricing plans to get you started – you can backup single computers, servers, entire networks. The biggest downside is bandwidth, and how much can you push through the pipe in the amount of time you have. On the next slide I have a scenario which I will show… CLICK
(CLICK)Take a 10GB backup, which would be about the size of many people’s music collection and pictures, along with office documents. (CLICK)Here are the times it would take to upload that size over some common connection speeds. A typical DSL connection at home would upload (NOT DOWNLOAD) at 512Kbps. You are only going to see the 10Mbps on a Comcast or FIOS higher-tier connection. CLICK
Hybrid Cloud is very interesting. There are a lot of advantages to this for larger businesses. This allows you to keep certain things in the cloud, while keeping others within your own infrastructure. There are way too many scenarios to go over in our timeframe today, but I will hit a couple of hot topics on this. (CLICK) Servers/Local Applications (read slide), (CLICK) Backup (read slide), (CLICK) Desktops (read slide) (CLICK)
Now for my sales pitch. Some of the products I offer are … (see slides).
The benefit of allowing me to have remote monitoring capabilities is crucial for your business. In the last year, I have found that by having this option for my contract clients has allowed me to keep systems running, avert crisis of failed systems, and know ahead of time before an issue is going to occur. Accidents still happen, and disasters still strike; no plan is foolproof. This monitoring option, though, does cover about 95% of items, and keeps both you & I from scrambling in most cases. Remote monitoring includes LogMeIn Pro remote access for you & I both, Vipre Antivirus, MalwareBytes, Patch Management for Windows & some 3rd party products. Remote monitoring services can be purchased for individual desktops, servers, or your entire office, and does not have to be combined with any bundled hours of any sort. By having the remote monitoring agents installed, it allows for our companies to work much closer together to keep your machines running smoothly.
By putting it all together we come up to the heart of ManagedServices. Being able to manage your devices saves all of us time & headache. It’s a small price to pay to know before a crisis occurs, and to know that your data and important business information is accessible or can be accessible quickly in the time of need.
