Case Analysis |Altius Golf and the Fighter Brand|Anahit Babayan
Questions covered.
1. If Altius implements the Elevate strategy what are the risks to the brand and how can they be managed?
2. What sales result would you expect for each item in the line if Elevate is introduced?
Manzana Insurance is the second largest insurance company founded in California in 1902. • They operated through a network of autonomous branch offices in California, Oregon and Washington. Each branch is treated as a separate profit and loss centre. • Manzana does not directly interact with public but instead has its 2000 agents who represents Manzana. • Fruitvale was one of the Manzana’s smaller branches, with 3 underwriting teams and 76 agents. Our case concern is the falling performance and hence the profitability on Property Insurance for this branch.

Using Network Recording and Search to Improve IT Service DeliveryEmulex Corporation
For organizations that depend critically on their network to provide services to both internal and external customers, understanding why quality of service issues occur is critical. An emerging tool in Network Performance Management and Diagnostics (NPMD) is network recording and search, which allows network operations (NetOps) staff to identify issues in service and application delivery.
Finding the right data (whether packets, netflows, or otherwise) to understand why your application is underperforming is often like finding a needle in a haystack. In most cases, you have to find exactly the right set of packets to understand why you have a service performance issue or a service failure. As organizations move from 1Gb Ethernet to 10Gb Ethernet to 40/100Gb Ethernet (1GbE, 10GbE, 40/100GbE), the “amount of hay” is increasing by orders of magnitude. However, most network recording and search devices on the market today cannot keep up with data rates beyond a few gigabits per second, and have to “sample” the network traffic. In this context, selecting the right network recording and search device means the difference between understanding and resolving your problem quickly, and spending days or weeks trying to randomly capture the right packets.
In this webinar, we’ll explore the different options that organizations have for recording and mining network traffic to identify and resolve ITSM issues. We'll explore what matters most when your applications fail, and share some best-practice insights gleaned from working with customers that run some of the largest and most critical data networks on the planet.

Benefits of Operating an On-Premises InfrastructureRebekah Rodriguez
Despite the rapid evolution and growth of public cloud usage, enterprises are finding value in on-premises IT infrastructure. As a result, some organizations are moving their workloads back, partially or entirely, to their own data centers. In fact, according to a survey conducted by IDC, over ½ of the IT spent on servers and storage is still driven by on-prem deployments, and over 70% of those surveyed said they plan to repatriate workloads back from public cloud to an On-Prem Infrastructure.
Virtualization to Cloud with SDDC Operations Management and Service ProvisioningVMware
IT as a Service (ITaaS) is a journey, not a one-time implementation. This presentation shows how, over time and with expanded adoption, VMware's customers are becoming more virtualized and decreasing costs with greater ROI.
Using NetFlow to Improve Network Visibility and Application PerformanceEmulex Corporation
Network and application performance issues can cost your business millions of dollars in lost revenue and productivity. Without persistent, real-time visibility of the infrastructure, Network Operations teams lack the information to predict potential business disruption and prove network and application performance.
Join us on November 6 at 7:00 a.m. PT and hear from Lee Doyle, Principal Analyst at Doyle Research, about the solutions to today’s performance visibility challenges, including:
•Trends affecting traffic visibility, such as application mobility, network upgrades, and data center virtualization and consolidation
•Best practices for managing Quality of Service and reducing failure scenarios
•Critical criteria to consider when selecting performance management solutions
In addition, hear from Richard Trujillo (Emulex Product Marketing) and Scott Frymire (SevOne Product Marketing) how the joint deployment of the Emulex EndaceFlow™ 3040 NetFlow Generator Appliance and SevOne’s Network Performance Management solution lowers time to resolution by reliably monitoring the makeup of the traffic traversing your most critical links.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

in the long term
However we still need to consider other factors such as organisational acceptance &
risk of failure
