Unified Compute Platform Pro for VMware vSphereHitachi Vantara
Relentless trends of increasing data center complexity
and massive data growth have companies seeking new,
reliable ways to deliver IT services in an on-demand,
rapid, flexible and scalable fashion. Many data centers
now face growing demands for faster delivery of
business services, serious resource contentions and
trade-offs between IT agility and vendor lock-in. They
also have mounting complications and rising costs in
managing disparate islands of technology resources.
In this session, we explain how the new version of SQL Server will improve database operations, advance security and compliance and bring advanced analytics to all your data workloads.
Planning and Preparing for Windows Server 2003 End-of-LifePerficient, Inc.
Windows Server 2003 reaches “end-of-life” in mid-2015, and Microsoft will no longer provide patches or security updates for the operating system. Given the rate at which new security threats are introduced, it is extremely dangerous to run production services on a platform that has reached end of support.
If you are still running Windows Server 2003, you aren’t alone. For organizations considering a migration, now is the time to start a thorough analysis of each Windows Server 2003 system, including the native and third-party software workloads.
Experts from Perficient, AppZero and Cisco discussed the options and paths available when moving off Windows Server 2003, including:
-Virtualization Hyper-V on Cisco UCS
-Transitioning to a cloud model – private, public and hybrid
-What AppZero can do for your migrations
-Capabilities and benefits of Windows Server 2012
The most important thing is to get started now! Without proper analysis and migration planning, IT departments will find themselves lacking the time to move mission-critical applications to a supported operating system.
In this session, we explain how the new version of SQL Server will improve database operations, advance security and compliance and bring advanced analytics to all your data workloads.
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 is a cloud-ready information platform that will help organizations unlock breakthrough insights across the organization and quickly build solutions to extend data across on-premises and public cloud, backed by mission critical confidence.
Modernizing Applications with Microservices and DC/OS (Lightbend/Mesosphere c...Lightbend
**Featuring Aaron Williams, Head of Advocacy at Mesosphere, Inc. and Markus Eisele, Developer Advocate at Lightbend, Inc.**
The traditional architecture that enterprises run their businesses on has typically been delivered as monolithic applications running in a virtualized, on-premise infrastructure. Public and private cloud technologies have changed everything, but if the applications are not designed, or re-designed, appropriately, then it is impossible to take advantage of the advances in both distributed application services and hybrid infrastructure. Consequently, enterprise architects are looking to microservices-based architectures as a means to modernize their legacy applications.
This webinar with Lightbend and partner Mesosphere will introduce a new framework specifically designed to help developers modernize legacy Java EE applications into systems of microservices and then discuss exactly what is required to run these distributed systems at enterprise scale.

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.

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!

Now when we look at the heart and mission of the Cloud OS- it is to incorporate these key trends across infrastructure, data platform and applications and to deliver to our customers 1 consistent platform whether it is behind their firewall, behind Windows Azure firewall or third party service providers. The benefits customers gain with a consistent platform include common development, management, data platform, identity and virtualization regardless of where the application is being run. In this session we are going to focus on the one consistent data platform across on-premises and cloud.For the remainder of this session we are going to take a closer look at the data platform in the Cloud OS – SQL Server 2014 and talk about it capabilities and how it also deliver on this promise of 1 consistent data platform.
Note: This slide has 4 clicksOptimize your IT for the cloud with Windows Server 2012When you optimize your IT for the cloud with Windows Server 2012, you take advantage of the skills and investment you’ve already made in building a familiar and consistent platform. Windows Server 2012 builds on that familiarity. With Windows Server 2012, you gain all the Microsoft experience behind building and operating private and public clouds, delivered as a dynamic, available, and cost-effective server platform.Windows Server 2012 delivers value in four key ways:It takes you beyond virtualization. Windows Server 2012 offers a dynamic, multitenant infrastructure that goes beyond virtualization technology to a complete platform for building a private cloud.It delivers the power of many servers, with the simplicity of one. Windows Server 2012 offers you excellent economics by integrating a highly available and easy-to-manage multiple-server platform.It opens the door to every app on any cloud. Windows Server 2012 is a broad, scalable, and elastic web and application platform that gives you the flexibility to build and deploy applications on-premises, in the cloud, and in a hybrid environment through a consistent set of tools and frameworks.It enables the modern workstyle. Windows Server 2012 empowers IT to provide users with flexible access to data and applications anywhere, on any device, and while simplifying management and maintaining security, control, and compliance.With Windows Server 2012, Microsoft has made significant investments in each of these four areas that allow customers to take their datacenter operations to the next level. Now, let’s take a look how Windows Server 2012 helps customers to:Build and deploy a modern datacenter infrastructureBuild and run modern applicationsEnable modern work styles for their end users
Goal: Frame how System Center 2012 (and SP1) deliver unified management for the Cloud OS. Talking Points Let’s discuss the capabilities required to deliver on our promise of unified management: <click> First, you need a “simple” self-service experience to enable your App Owners to specify their requirements. For example, let’s suppose they want to provision a SharePoint service with the following specs: 3 tier .NET architectureHas a set of configuration and deployment parameters to conform with (e.g. perf thresholds, scale out rules, update domains)Needs 99.95% availability SLAAdheres to compliance/security controls around SOX/HIPAA Need on-demand reporting on key availability metrics that track against SLA<click> Next, you need a way to understand the topology and architecture of the application service in question. Anapplication deployed in on an abstracted, or cloud computing model is called a “service”. This would necessitate a “service model” that accurately binds the application’s architecture to the underlying resources where it will be hosted. The “service model” would be comprised of: Service definition information, deployed as “roles”. Roles are like DLLs, i.e. a collection of code with an entry point that runs in its own virtual machineFront end: e.g. load-balanced stateless web serversMiddle worker tier: e.g. order processing, encodingBackend storage: e.g. SQL tables or filesService Configuration informationUpdate domainsAvailability domainsScale out rules<click> You will need a set of process automation capabilities to break down this application provisioning request into the enterprise change requests that need to be implemented. This could include setting up the underlying infra and then a set of app configuration/release requests that need to be tracked (and ideally implemented with orchestrated automation)<click> Next you need a set of provisioning tools that actually configure and deploy the infra and application layers.<click> the underlying datacenter resources could be physical, virtual, private or public cloud as per the requirements dictated by the application’s service model <click> once the underlying infrastructure and application service are deployed, they would immediately need to be “discovered” and monitored for reporting and health tracking<click> There you see how the System Center 2012 components offer these life cycle management capabilities in combination to help you deliver on the Microsoft promise of unified Cloud OS management: App Controller would offer that self-service experience that allows your application owners manage their apps across on-premises, service provider and Windows Azure environments. Service Manager offers the standardized self-service catalog that defines “templates” for your applications and infrastructure. App Controller, Virtual Machine Manager, Service Manager and Operations Manager work together to maintain the service model through the application service life cycleOrchestrator and Service Manager offer orchestrated automation for the process workflows required to drive your provisioning and monitoring toolsVirtual Machine Manager and Configuration manager can provision physical, virtual and cloud environmentsOperations Manager (AVIcode capabilities will be built into Operations Manager) monitors your application services end to end and offers deep app insight to help you deliver predictable SLAYour datacenter resources could be deployed anywhere from on-premises, service provider and Windows AzureHowever, to get to this agile self-service end-state, you will have to start with abstracting your infrastructure and allocating it appropriately so that your business units can deploy and manage their applications on top. Transition: So, how does System Center 2012 get you to this point where you can deliver unified management across cloud? These can really be categorized into three buckets: Application Management: Deploying and operating your business applications Service Delivery & Automation: Standardizing and automating service and resource provisioning, managing change and access controls, etc.Infrastructure management: Deploying and operating all the underlying infrastructure on which your business applications and services run.
SQL Server 2014’s mission is to deliver for our customers mission critical performance for the most demanding database applications, hitting on all aspects of mission critical criteria from performance to security, scalability and high availability along with the mission critical support. When it comes to business intelligence our mission is to deliver faster insights into any data big data, small data, all data and most importantly deliver BI in a consumable manner for business users through familiar tools.Finally last but not least, we continue to hear from customers on how cloud is helping them innovation new solutions and business models and how important a hybrid cloud approach is particularly for our enterprise customers who are faced with ever growing regulations and mandates. With SQL Server 2014 we will enable new unique hybrid cloud solutions that can positively impact your bottom line and allow you to create new innovative hybrid cloud solutions for your database applications.
Challenges in Deploying Private Infrastructure CloudTime to Deploy:Transforming the datacenter to the private cloud quickly and at low costApp Complexity: Creating a deployment/runtime environment for a mix of virtualized & non-virtualized applicationsMaintaining SLAs: Building infrastructure with the agility & flexibility to consistently perform to committed service levels Automating Operations: Creating efficient, integrated processes that lower OPEX, support speedy deployment & provisioning, & free up IT resources Utilizing Resources Efficiently:Creating a “single platform” of virtualized assets for greater utilization & performance with lower CAPEX & OPEX costsOverloading network and storage is an issue, and performance can suffer, and you may not be able to meet your SLAs for your businessOverprovisioning is a separate problem; many IT admins will order more hardware than needed, in order to be prepared for growth, instead of ordering on an as-needed basis. For instance, if an admin knows they need an additional 100GB of storage every two weeks, and they have to go through the process each time, they may just request 2TB to last for the next 6 months instead
Views server, storage and network elements as consolidated resource pools assigned to business needs with a range of focus areas such as:Ordering, fulfillment and supportManagement and orchestration Business alignmentEliminates many of the road blocks to private cloud related to a lack of infrastructure standards, expertise and best practicesPredictable, reliable and repeatable resultsFaster speed to deployIncreases automation to significantly improve OPEXRealize both OPEX and CAPEX savings Allow your business to focus on revenue generating activitiesAvoid these drawbacks of building a cloud environment without converged IT:Potential OPEX increases as additional and more varied solutions have to be integrated, managed and maintained (without standards) and usually in parallel to legacy systems for some time.Increased headcount and requirement for staff with greater expertise.Lower ROI because of lower utilization of the remaining physical footprintLonger than expected deploymentsRequired re-architecting for availability, backup and disaster recovery solutions. Unclear market results with lack of validation.
Could be a Microsoft app migrating from physical to virtualCould also be migration from Oracle, SAP or other DB
The goal of Hitachi’s System Center integrations is to reduce operational expenditure. The Hitachi Storage Adapter for Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager monitors the health and performance of Hitachi storage components. It monitors drives, controllers, RAID groups, pools, LUNs – all the components of your Hitachi storage system. The Hitachi PowerShell adapter allows Hitachi storage administrators to extend the MS Windows PowerShell commands with Hitachi storage management functions including discovery, management and provisioning. With these commandlets, administrators can create scripts to automate complex tasks. The Hitachi Powershell adapter serves as the foundation for all of the other Hitachi Systems Center integrations.
The Storage Adapter for System Center Orchestrator is a new adapter that will eventually replace the adapter for the Virtual Machine Manager Self-service portal. It let’s you automate the creation, monioring, and deployment of Hitachi storage resources in your environment by creating workflows which you can execute on an ad-hoc basis or on a scheduled basis.The VMM SSP adapter was developed to plug-in to the Hyper-V VMM SSP 2.0 environment. It enables users to rapidly provision VMs and provides other self-service capabilities so that users can stand-up their own dev and test environments in the fashion of a true private cloud.
