[END SUMMARY]
Solution Architecture and Solution AcquisitionAlan McSweeney
This describes a systematised and structured approach to solution acquisition or procurement that involves solution architecture from the start. This allows the true scope of both the required and subsequently acquired solution are therefore fully understood. By using such an approach, poor solution acquisition outcomes are avoided.
Solution architecture provides the structured approach to capturing all the cost contributors and knowing the true solution scope.
There is more packaged/product/service-based solution acquisition activity. There is an increasing trend of solutions hosted outside the organisation. Meanwhile solution acquisition outcomes are poor and getting worse.
Poor solution acquisition has long-term consequences and costs.
The to-be-acquired solution needs to operate in and co-exist with an existing solution topography and the solution acquisition process needs to be aware of and take account of this wider solution topography. Cloud-based or externally hosted and provided solutions do not eliminate the need for the solution to exist within the organisation solution topography.
Strategic misrepresentation in solution acquisition is the deliberate distortion or falsification of information relating to solution acquisition costs, complexity, required functionality, solution availability, resource availability, time to implement in order to get solution acquisition approval. Strategic misrepresentation is very real and its consequences can be very damaging.
Solution architecture has the skills and experience to define the real scope of the solution being acquired. An effective structured solution acquisition process, well-implemented and consistently applied, means dependable and repeatable solution acquisition and successful outcomes.
Capgemini Cloud Assessment is a Cloud agnostic, vendor aware methodology that focuses on low risk, high return business transformation. Additionally, it reduces TCO and provides an early view of ROI.
This closed loop assessment leverages pre-built accelerators such as ROI calculators, risk models and portfolio analyzers utilizing our deep partner ecosystem. We deliver an end state architecture, business case and deployment roadmap in just six to eight weeks.
A successful enterprise Journey to Cloud requires more than technical execution, and we’ll help you learn what to consider, the pitfalls and how to succeed. We’ve helped many companies – in Australia and globally – execute their digital vision and accelerate change on their Journey to Cloud. We’ll share some of their experiences to help you discover how an optimised migration can transform your business.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
