Want to move to a usage-based pricing model but afraid of how to accurately measure and bill your customers? Come and learn about the processes and technology used to manage this advanced pricing model from two leading cloud service providers.
Presentation to the Robotics Task Force of the Object Management Group (OMG) introducing the members to the Data Distribution Service (DDS), another OMG-standard technology.
Multiple protocols have been positioned as “the” application-layer messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. In fact, these protocols address different aspects of IoT messaging and are complementary more than competitive (other than for mindshare). This presentation compares two of these protocols, MQTT and DDS, and shows how they are designed and optimized for different communication requirements.

As distributed system scale up, so does their integration time and cost. This integration challenge is particularly acute for real-time and intelligent systems: increased connectivity cannot come at the expense of performance, reliability or resource consumption.
Adopting an inherently scalable architecture is the secret to agilely and affordably building systems that encompass ever more applications, nodes and real-time data. This webinar will review how you can apply proven integration techniques—such as loose coupling and service orientation—to demanding real-time systems. Unlike approaches designed for conventional business applications, the architecture we'll introduce is appropriate for systems that span embedded, high performance and IT applications.
This webinar targets software architects, chief engineers and development leads in all industries that design real-time and intelligent systems. This includes defense, industrial, transportation, medical and aerospace applications.
Better integration is increasingly the key to competitive advantage. It provides end-users with higher situational awareness, responsiveness and resource utilization. Don't let your architecture hold you back.

SP Virtual Managed Services (VMS) for Intelligent WAN (IWAN)Cisco Canada
Many organizations anticipate significant growth in WAN bandwidth and Public Cloud usage. Leveraging the Internet to provide extra WAN bandwidth and to offload Public Cloud traffic is compelling, however network reliability, application performance and security are the primary roadblocks. Cisco IWAN transport solution is the most full featured architecture to support the Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) requirements that are emerging in standards bodies like the Open Networking User Group (ONUG) to address these issues. Many enterprises are looking for the benefits these technologies deliver, but without the costs associated with owning and operating those technologies. Here is where VMS for IWAN meets market need. Cisco VMS is a full featured management platform for both virtual and physical devices. This session will cover a full description of the VMS platform and how it can be used to deliver exceptional customer experience when supporting a managed offering of IWAN. The roles of Customer and Resource Facing Services will be covered, along with integration between the IWAN service and SP operations. This session will also cover the topic of how Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) can be placed optimally in the network from the CPE to SP datacenter, along with a demo of the end user and operator experience.
A generalized description and overview of SD-WAN technology without delving into vendor-specific implementations. Covers the motivation, history, software architecture of SD-WAN systems, day-in-the-life packet path, and various useful features.

Overview
CloudPassage
provides
security
and
compliance
for
your
cloud,
so9ware-‐defined,
and
tradi<onal
data
center
infrastructure
3. Our
PCI
Story
1. We
use
Zuora
for
metered
usage
billing
2. Since
we
accept
CCs
in
mul;ple
ways,
had
to
do
a
full
PCI
cert
for
ourselves
3. We
also
provide
PCI
security
controls
to
our
customers
4. Here’s
what
we
learned…

4. Your
Architecture
Drives
PCI
Scope
1. PCI
“in-‐scope”
systems
are
anything
that
accept,
store,
process,
or
transmit
CC
info
2. Zuora
can
handle
much
(maybe
all?)
of
this,
depending
on
architecture/features
you’re
using
3. If
(like
us)
you
take
CCs
in
your
app
(or
by
other
means),
then
you’re
responsible
for
PCI
for
those
in-‐scope
systems

5. Its
Not
All
Doom
and
Gloom
1. Yes,
you
can
be
PCI
compliant
using
cloud!
2. You
will
likely
need
some
different
tools
and
processes
3. Not
all
stacks/providers
are
created
equal!
4. There
is
no
“silver
bullet”
–
but
the
responsibility
is
s;ll
yours

9. Recent
Guidance
Changes
1. Use
VM-‐to-‐VM
firewalling
(host-‐based)
in
cloud/virtual
environments
2. Ensure
integrity
of
VM
OS,
Apps,
and
Data
to
isolate
from
hypervisor-‐based
access
3. CSP
(Cloud
Service
Provider)
PCI
compliance
helps,
but
is
not
mandatory
4. If
you’re
in
a
private
data
center,
all
your
stack
is
in-‐scope

11. PCI
in
any
Cloud/Infrastructure
• Security
(if
done
correctly)
begets
compliance
– Not
the
other
way
around
• What
worked
in
your
datacenter
might
not
work
in
cloud
environments
• Need
technical
controls
that
work
like
the
cloud
does
– Dynamic,
elas;c,
scalable

14. Assessor
• Find
one
…
that
knows
cloud
technology
– A
good
default
choice
is
the
QSA
who
did
the
assessment
for
your
CSP
• If
you
don’t
want/need
to
use
an
external
auditor,
then
…
determine
if
you
have
the
knowledge
internally
– You
need
to
make
sure
you
have
the
depth
of
knowledge
on
the
PCI
DSS,
as
you
will
likely
get
it
wrong
if
not
15. Applica<on
Design
!
!
!
MASTER DB SLAVE DB!
• Ability
to
achieve
PCI
compliance
is
primarily
based
on
forethought
given
to
applica;on
design
• Most
providers,
and
all
cloud-‐based
OS’s
can
be
PCI
compliant*
• Ask:
– What
data
am
I
storing?
Why?
– What
is
communica;on
flow
of
the
applica;on?
Is
it
restricted?
– Is
my
crypto
public
veled
standards?
This
is
where
Zuora
can
help
limit
your
systems
“in-‐scope”
16. Harden
the
Systems
• Protect
the
system
– Firewalls
(remember
ingress
and
egress)
– Change
defaults
– Install
patches
– Watch
the
system
for
odd
behavior
or
changes
• You
need
to
automate
this.
Trying
to
do
this
by
hand
in
a
cloud
environment
is
error-‐prone.
18. How
Zuora
Can
Help
L I M I T I N G
P C I
S C O P E
• Zuora
is
a
PCI
Level
1
cer;fied
vendor
• Your
applica;on
architecture
determines
how
much
PCI
you’ll
be
exposed
to
• Inves;gate
Zuora
HPM
(iFrames,
etc),
APIs,
and
other
mechanisms
to
accept/handle
CC
info
• Scrub
everywhere
else
in
your
business
process
for
ways
CCs
are
managed
(ie
faxes,
POs,
sales
emails)
19. Best
Prac<ces
• Read
and
understand
what
your
provider
does,
and
what
you
are
responsible
for,
with
regards
to
PCI
• When
moving
servers
outside
your
data
center,
ensure
that
they
are
hardened
and
compliant
before
they
are
exposed
to
the
public
• Start
with
public
cloud,
PCI
everywhere
else
is
rela;vely
easy!
• Focus
on
securing
the
tenets
of
PCI
that
you
can
control
–
partners
(CSPs,
vendors)
are
key
to
success

32. Business
Drivers
to
use
Recurring
Billing
Solu<on
§ LinkBermuda
was
looking
to
out-‐source
billing,
we
did
not
want
to
build
our
own
system
because
of
the
complexity
involved
in
recurring
billing.
§
We
evaluated
several
different
recurring
billing
systems
–
Zuora
was
the
quickest
to
deploy
and
most
cost
effec;ve.
§ We
needed
a
system
which
would
enable
to
Price
and
Package
our
services
efficiently
and
be
able
to
rapidly
iterate
on
Pricing
when
needed.
33. Why
Zuora
?
§ The
Ra;ng
and
Billing
Engine
in
Zuora
understands
our
subscrip;on
business
model
and
is
ideally
suited
to
do
the
job.
§
Zuora
provided
out
of
box
solu;on
(Zforce)
for
integra;ng
with
our
CRM
system
(Salesforce).
We
took
advantage
of
both
ZQuotes
and
Z360.
§ Looking
forward
to
u;lize
Zuora
Billing
and
Financial
Reports
and
Forward
Looking
Metrics
like
MRR,
ARR
etc.
§
As
LinkBermuda
grows
we
are
confident
that
Zuora
can
scale
and
accommodate
our
business
growth.
