This year VMware vSphere 6 combined with vRealize Operations 6.1 (vR Ops 6) adds critical features to increase technical agility in the infrastructure, and reduce Mean time to Repair. With a new Automated remediation action framework in vR Ops, vSphere 6’s ability to vMotion Physical Raw Device mappings (RDMs), and a complete Management Pack Ecosystem for monitoring Infrastructure to applications, administrators have the tools needed to get to maintain 5 9’s uptime, shorten Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and predict capacity requirements as and when the business requires.. This session will be a deep technical explanation, and live demonstration of these tools. It will give administrators a solid understanding of how they can use these tools to monitor and manage their application clusters, keep applications running during Infrastructure maintenance, and get deep holistic visibility into the entire Application ecosystem, from Storage to Networking.

HBC9363 Virtualization 2.0 How the Cloud is Evolving the Modern Data Centerdavehill99
In his article Virtualization 2.0 Is Your On-Ramp to the Cloud published on SIliconANGLE, VMware Cloud Strategist David Hill, writes, “Many companies today are recognizing value in the cloud even though they have no plans to mothball their own data centers. To them, the cloud represents both an extension of their on-premises infrastructures and the latest chapter in the ongoing evolution of their IT practice.”
David goes on to describe this latest chapter as “Virtualization 2.0,” because just as virtualization untethered workloads from servers, this stage is about untethering those same workloads from the data center itself, enabling apps to freely move between clouds the way they can move between servers today.
VMware 2015: Next Horizon for Cloud Networking and SecurityVMworld
Software Defined Networking (SDN) and network virtualization has become an accepted part of modern data center architecture. The transformation of networking into a software industry has accelerated innovation and given rise to a number of new technologies and use cases that were previously impossible. Network virtualization is starting to have profound impact on services, security, the underlying physical networks and the organization of the IT organizations that use them. How will network virtualization impact the next horizon for cloud networking and security?
In this session Guido Appenzeller presents a tech-preview of NSX working with Docker Containers and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Additional speakers include Scott Lowe, Mukesh Hira and Jacob Cherkas from VMware and Suneet Nandwani from eBay.
Not content to simply describe the Virtual Volume (VVOL) framework, this session instead examines practical use cases: How different configurations and workloads benefit from VVOLs. Learn how Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM) couples with VVOLs to provide VM configuration options not previously available. We demonstrate a handful of real-life scenarios, specifically covering how VVOLs benefits oversubscribed systems, disaster recovery preparation and multi-tenant requirements for customers. Specific configuration options and constraints are covered in detail, including how they work with underlying storage.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a visual blueprint of the organization, and shows key interrelationships between data, process, applications, and more. By abstracting these assets in a graphical view, it’s possible to see key interrelationships, particularly as they relate to data and its business impact across the organization. Join us for a discussion on how data architecture is a key component of an overall enterprise architecture for enhanced business value and success.
Bringing Serverless into the Enterprise (Global Azure Virtual 2020)Callon Campbell
Industry and customer needs push enterprises to innovate and modernize their applications at a faster rate than ever before. Serverless solutions are a clear and natural choice for such demand due to its proven developer productivity gains. However, enterprises also require using services that can respond to their critical needs around networking, security, performance, DevOps, ability to run on-premises and compatibility with industry standards (e.g. Kubernetes). In this session, I will explore how serverless development with the Azure platform helps satisfy all these requirements.

Los patrones están en todos lados. Los patrones de diseño han existido desde hace mucho tiempo para las arquitecturas tradicionales (monolíticas). Los patrones nos permiten tener un abanico de opciones de diseño predeterminadas, que se pueden aplicar según cada problema de negocio y tecnológico, dándonos una ventaja en el diseño de la solución, dado que son estructuras que han sido probadas durante el tiempo en forma repetitiva, hasta consolidarse como un patrón. Sin embargo, los patrones de diseño han cambiado con la llegada de la nube y el enfoque de microservicios. En esta oportunidad vamos a discutir en profundidad estos patrones de diseño y su aplicabilidad.

Hot Off the Press: News UK Simplifies its Software-Defined Data Center Manage...Blue Medora
An audit of News UK’s IT processes revealed it was missing the correct monitoring tools to ensure proactive visibility of its infrastructure and applications, resulting in downtime and lost revenue. After installing the Blue Medora True Visibility Suite for VMware vRealize Operations, the newspaper’s P2 incidents have been reduced from 15 to 2 per month, and of those 2, it took only 20% of the time it took previously to recover. News UK has also seen reduced downtime amounting to 95% (994 mins a month versus 43 mins) and improved operations through:
• A clearer, more holistic view into its on-premise Cisco UCS, NetApp and NetScaler environments
• Faster identification of any issues and clear guidance on their resolution
• More focused pinpointing of problems leading to improved employee productivity
The expected saving on storage maintenance costs will be over £3 million over four years, with the overall cost savings over the next four years estimated at nearly £6 million.
With the Microsoft Azure Management Pack for vRealize Operations from Blue Medora, you can drive better performance across your Azure Compute and Azure SQL workloads. Monitor and analyze key metrics inside VMWare vRealize operations using a series of out-of-the-box dashboard, intelligent alerts and expert recommendations. Learn more at www.bluemedora.com/vrops.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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!
