DaaS in 2016: Time to Ditch Your On-Premises VDI Deployment? A Practical Look...Amazon Web Services
As DaaS reaches maturity, businesses are asking if it’s time to ditch their on-premises VID solution, and move desktops and application delivery to the cloud. While traditional VDI solutions work well for many scenarios, they can fall short in addressing the needs of modern organizations. They are also expensive to deploy and maintain, and hard to scale. This session will take a close look at the state of DaaS in 2016, and help you evaluate whether now is the time to move your desktops to the cloud.
If you’re shopping for DaaS or cloud desktops there are a few questions you should be asking potential vendors regarding price. Below we’ve created a handy slideshare to help ensure you’re comparing apples to apples.
Linux VDI with OpenStack – How to Deliver Linux Virtual Desktops on DemandLeostream
It’s no secret that Linux has a loyal fan-base across the development community and industries such as government, engineering, and oil & gas. But, when it comes to VDI, the operating system often gets the short end of the stick.
How can you lower IT costs when applications run on a Linux operating system? How can you handle a mixture of Windows and Linux in a hosted environment? And, how do you ensure a seamless end-user experience, while maximizing resource usage and minimizing downtime?
The truth is, Linux VDI doesn’t have to be hard. You can create a virtual Linux environment that provides an efficient way to access hosted resources on centrally managed servers. By combining the Leostream Connection Broker with a high-performance protocol, managing a hosted Linux environment can be as simple, seamless, and powerful as a hosted Windows environment.
Developing Web-based Interactive Teaching System for Core Network Technology ...drboon
This paper presents an in-house created software application that emulates and virtualizes computer networking laboratory hardware and proprietary equipment on PCs and servers. A user friendly remote laboratory manage system is developed using .NET technology. Through the presented lab management system, the students are able to conduct more than 200 lab assignments covering 10 courses from both lower level routing and switching classes to upper level network management and security classes that demand a large amount of physical equipment and a great number of student lab contact hours prior to the emulated lab. This emulation solution eliminates our dependencies on expensive proprietary networking equipment. It also reduces the burden of system administration. This remote lab has been used and tested in three networking courses. The feedbacks show that the lab delivers similar or better lab experiences for the DE students while the lab construction and maintenance cost is reduced to the minimum.

Vblock Infrastructure Packages — integrated best-of-breed packages from VMwar...Eric Sloof
IT is undergoing a transformation. The current ‘accidental architecture’ of IT today increases procurement, management costs, and complexity while making it difficult to meet customer service level agreements. This makes IT less responsive to the business and creates the perception of IT being a cost center. IT is now moving towards a ‘private cloud’ model, which is a new model for delivering IT as a service, whether that service is provided internally (IT today), externally (service provider), or in combination. This new model requires a new way of thinking about both the underlying technology and the way IT is delivered for customer success.
While the need for a new IT model has never been more clear, navigating the path to that model has never been more complicated. The benefits of private clouds are capturing the collective imagination of IT architects and IT consumers in organizations of all sizes around the world. The realities of outdated technologies, rampant incremental approaches, and the absence of a compelling end-state architecture are impeding adoption by customers.

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!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
