Paraca Inc. decided to relocate its backup system from its Tokyo head office to its Osaka branch as part of a new business continuity plan. It also began using the SAP ERP software solution which required backups of those servers. To address these backup needs, Paraca adopted PlateSpin Forge which shortened backup times from 3 hours to 30 minutes and allowed Paraca to meet IT compliance requirements.

Leveraging the cloud to quickly test drive how SAP HANA can accelerate your SAP ERP system without migration to Suite on HANA or SAP S/4HANA using one of the first approaches for ERP-based HANA Acceleration
The material was created around 2010-end, but published February'2011.
The main purposes of creating this document were as follows:
- very very few people working on SAP HANA at that time
- information regarding SAP HANA not really available and if available, it was scattered !!
- always pulled for presentations and technical demos which generally hampered my own hands-on work :). And I was alone at San Jose whereas Ulrich used to busy in Walldorf coordinating with SAP.
BTW, it was my full-fledged first SAP HANA presentation in end of 2010, although published in 2011. The document is quite old now but most of the part still holds good as of today.

SAP TechEd 2016 Barcelona TEC123 Session PresentationCore To Edge
Very first SAP HANA adaptations in Turkey started with some pilot sidecar scenarios for SAP BW, continued with few SAP BW on HANA and SAP BPC on HANA projects as a new implementation. Some large enterprises decided to move to SAP BW on HANA from their classical SAP BW environment in recent years. All new SAP implementations mostly starts with SAP HANA and SAP ASE (Critial and core systems on HANA, rest on ASE). And also we now started to hear that some customers started to move to SAP Suite on HANA.
But what we’ve achieved is still the 1st (and will always be) and sole in Turkey.
Last year, we’ve migrated EVE Shop‘s SAP ERP systems running on SAP HANA to SAP’s new generation business suite SAP S/4HANA in 3 months.
Today's IT environments are complex. You already have Micro Focus Open Enterprise Server and chances are you also have Windows - but it's not an either/or choice. Take a closer look and see why.
Presented at the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit, London, Travis Greene discussed the opportunities and challenges of the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as the early indicators of what the IoT world will look like. He also addressed IoT security and privacy, and the critical role that identity will play in the future.
Kindred Healthcare is one of the nation’s most respected healthcare providers. Through its subsidiaries, Kindred operates multiple healthcare-related businesses across the United States, including hospitals, nursing centers, institutional pharmacies and a contract rehabilitation-services business.
The on-going emergence of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and other sophisticated attacks have made it more difficult than ever to develop strategies for protecting IT systems. Further, the systems themselves are increasingly complex, increasing the potential for security gaps. In this deck, Garve Hays - Solution Acrhitect at NetIQ, outlines APTs and evaluating effective responses.
Geoff Webb, Senior Director of Solution Strategy at NetIQ opens the NetIQ BrainShare 2014 keynote: "The Identity of Everything".
It is getting more difficult to deliver the systems, services and the access to information users expect and demand. Geoff discusses the challenges facing IT Departments today - Cloud, Mobile to name two - and the huge opportunities if we get it right.
The critical element is Identity. Geoff ask's "Who Are You?" - Learn more from Geoff in this the opening segment of NetIQ's BrainShare keynote and watch the presentation at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcGv7usNlO8
The University of Westminster Saves Time and Money with Identity ManagerNetIQ
Across all these accounts, the University’s IT department must ensure rapid initial provisioning, reliable access to dozens of different academic and administrative systems, and high levels of security. It also aims to provide easy access to data and systems for students and staff and to make new applications available to them quickly. Increasingly, these new applications tend to be cloud-based, but students and staff expect to access them in the same way as they do local applications.
To accomplish all this with a relatively small team, the University needed a powerful set of tools for managing identities across multiple directories.

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine Accelerates and Streamlines ...NetIQ
Between 700 and 1,000 new graduate students enroll at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine each year, and the organisation’s small IT team is responsible for creating user accounts for each student in ten or more course modules and eight main applications. Including all the inevitable amendments to module choices and personal details, this process was a month-long job for one IT staff member.
The process was inefficient and also delayed granting access to systems. Historically, students and staff also had to remember multiple credentials for accessing their applications. The School has approximately 20 core applications, and each user typically requires a subset of around 5. Additionally, the School provides authenticated federated access to 80 third-party online journals and databases. The organisation wanted to streamline access, and to reduce the incidence of forgotten passwords.

Swisscard Saves Time and Effort in Managing User AccessNetIQ
User management was a difficult and time-consuming task at Swisscard. The Swiss credit company had to handle access rights to approximately 200 applications manually. A simple request from the business to give a new employee the same access rights as an existing employee required the IT team to first determine the existing access rights, and then laboriously apply them one by one to the new person.
Withdrawing access rights when an employee switched departments or left the company was equally difficult and presented a potential security risk. Swisscard wanted to standardize and, where practical, automate the provisioning and deprovisioning of users. Most important, Swisscard wanted to ensure easier and more efficient compliance with regulations. The company needed to comply with a large number of local and international regulations, and access rights to data and systems needed to be fully auditable.

Vodacom Tightens Security with Identity Manager from NetIQNetIQ
Managing access—to physical buildings, network resources and more than 100 corporate applications—for this workforce is extremely challenging. Contractors may work in different locations on contracts of various lengths, making it difficult for Vodacom to maintain an accurate view of access rights.
Previously, Vodacom relied on line managers to correctly provision and deprovision contractors. Vodacom wanted to close this potential security loophole and simplify and accelerate identity management, enabling zero- day starts for new employees and reducing administrative costs.

Nippon Light Metal Forges a Disaster Recovery Solution with NetIQNetIQ
“We needed a system approach based around a business continuity plan (BCP),” said Masayuki Ozaki, systems administrator for NLM’s general planning department. “As part of that, we needed to come up with a reliable disaster recovery (DR) structure.”
NLM previously backed up its systems to tape and stored the tapes offsite. However, restoring service if a problem occurred was proving difficult. “There were several occasions when we couldn’t recover from backup when a server went offline,” said Ozaki.

Nexus Differentiates Itself and Grows Its Capabilities with Operations CenterNetIQ
Nexus provides voice, video, data and convergence networking solutions in the United States and has the highest advanced technology attach rate of any U.S. National Cisco Partner. Nexus leverages its extensive experience in network integration to enable organizations to connect, collaborate and create.
As a managed service provider, delivering transparent and real-time information about the availability of their converged networks is critical for Nexus customers. Existing and prospective Nexus customers were beginning to request that Nexus deliver real-time service views to their network service performance. Additionally, Cisco was requiring Nexus to provide this higher level of service to maintain one of its Cisco certifications. Nexus had an existing homegrown solution but found maintaining a custom solution to be very manual. The customers’ desired level of information was also very hard to provide.

With more than 600 banking offices located in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, Huntington Bank set out to improve customer service by consolidating customer data and presenting a unified customer view to its colleagues. Because regulatory mandates are constantly in flux, Huntington also needed a means to continually interpret them and implement control changes to ensure compliance. Of course, as Mark Edson, manager of Enterprise Desktop and Directory Services for Huntington Bank, acknowledged, “Merely complying with government regulations does not equate to good risk management. We also must be great custodians of our information assets.”

NetIQ Identity Manager Unites Hanshan Normal UniversityNetIQ
The history of Hanshan Normal University (HSNU) can be traced back to the Song Dynasty in 1090 B.C. Today, it employs 905 teachers and staff to educate 15,000 students. Without a university-wide standard, different departments in HSNU developed isolated identity management systems as the organization expanded.
This created significant challenges in administration and user provisioning. “Ensuring that user profiles were set consistently and accurately throughout the university was proving difficult,” said Feng Li, Network and Education Technology Centre Director at HSNU.

Handelsbanken is one of the largest banks in the Nordic region, with over 10,500 employees. According to a recent study by management consultants Arthur D. Little, Handelsbanken is the third most cost-effective bank in Europe.
As a company operating in the financial sector, Handelsbanken is subject to a variety of financial regulations such as Basel III. As a result, it is important for the bank to keep tight control over its internal processes, particularly its IT systems.

Millions of People Depend on Datang Xianyi Technology and NetIQNetIQ
The Datang Xianyi Technology Co., Ltd (DTXY) System Maintenance Team manages its parent company’s IT infrastructure, and maintains systems control and automation software in the group’s power plants. With numerous physical servers and network devices supporting a range of business systems, it was a challenge for DTXY to monitor and resolve security issues. The systems generated logs in a variety of formats scattered across the network, and IT didn’t have a central point of control. This made identifying and defending against threats difficult and time-consuming.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

Paraca Inc.
1. Success Story
Paraca Inc.
spot colors:
Formerly, Paraca's administrative systems, including backup, were clustered at its
head office in Tokyo. As part of a new business continuity plan (BCP), the company
had decided to relocate its backup system to the Osaka branch. Meanwhile, Paraca
had begun using ERP, the business software solution from SAP. This meant the
servers running SAP ERP also needed to be backed up. As a solution to both of
these problems, the company decided to adopt PlateSpin Forge. Besides shortening
the backup process from 3 hours to 30 minutes, PlateSpin Forge has enabled
Paraca to meet the IT requirements for compliance with J-SOX (the Japanese
equivalent of the American Sarbanes-Oxley Act relating to corporate governance
and financial practice).
Overview
In line with its stated corporate mission of
"eliminating Japan's parking shortage and making
things comfortable for our motorized society,"
Paraca offers an array of parking lot operation
and management services, ranging from
consulting to financing and business
administration. Its company name is a mixture of
Spanish and English, hinting at two meanings:
"for cars" and "here are some parking spaces."
The issues involved
Paraca's signs feature a capital letter "P" with two
eyes. This "P" also has two meanings, standing for
both "parking" and "professional." The eyes also
have a double significance. As well as symbolizing
"site evaluation"—in the sense of meticulous
market surveys and property surveys—they also
symbolize "overseeing"—in the sense of operation
and management, including taking care of
cleaning, instrument problems and setting charges.
In the company's professional operation of parking
lots, the use of IT plays a vital role.
Paraca's mission-critical systems were running on
servers in a data center in the Tokyo area.
However, as part of its BCP, the company decided
to relocate its backup-and-restore environment to
the server room at its Osaka branch. Following
this decision, it was looking for an efficient backup
solution functioning between the Tokyo-area data
center and the Osaka-branch server room, which
were to be linked by an Internet virtual private
network (VPN).
In July 2010, Paraca also rebuilt its mission-critical
systems to revolve around SAP ERP. This created
the need for a SAP ERP system backup solution.
"We have SAP ERP running on five servers in our live
environment alone," says Mr. Hideyuki Nakamura, a
Systems Analyst at the company's Administration
Department, "and then there are our development
servers and our test servers and so on. Installing
standby machines at the Osaka branch to back up
all those servers was tough to do."
This was not the only problem. Paraca had set up
a backup-and-restore environment using
commercial software; however, the failure of a
physical server had to be handled by setting up
another physical server, configuring the OS and
applications, and then restoring the data from
backups. Because this task was so time-consuming,
the company needed a solution that would enable it
to swiftly recover from server failures.
"SAP ERP is not linked to our parking lot operation
system," points out Mr. Nakamura, "so even if SAP
ERP goes down, our parking lot services are not
interrupted. However, we are a listed company, so
any system outage could affect our perceived
reliability. That is why we needed a solution that
would get our administrative systems back up
quickly, even if the SAP ERP system is down."
Solution
In December 2010, looking to introduce a
backup-and-restore solution for its BCP and its
SAP ERP system, Paraca compared proposals
from several companies. As a result, it decided to
install PlateSpin Forge. Paraca chose this product
for a number of reasons. One was that it allows a
failure recovery test to be carried out with ease at
the click of a mouse, thanks to virtualization
technology. Its extensive track record in SAP ERP
backup was another.

PlateSpin Forge
Benefits:
– Backup process duration reduced from 3
hours to 30 minutes
– Paraca now meets IT requirements for
J-SOX compliance
– In the event of an equipment failure,
operations can be swiftly resumed
When I saw the PlateSpin Forge
demo at Novell's offices, I immediately
knew that this solution was right for
us. It was very reassuring to be able
to confirm that the product is easy to
use, and that in the event of an
equipment failure, we would be able
to recover with minimal downtime.
