AWS re:Invent 2016: Building Enterprise Cloud Operations As a Service with T-...Amazon Web Services
After launching several thousand EC2 instances in the cloud, we've learned that the key to running an IT fleet successfully on AWS is enforcing operational and economic discipline. As AWS service consumption grows, operational costs and overhead shouldn't grow linearly. Instead, IT should encourage new tenants that migrate from data centers to AWS to slowly shift toward a self-service delivery model and adopt the DevOps operations model. Creating and offering an AWS Cloud operations service catalog enables organizations to efficiently take full advantage of AWS' flexibility and modularity. T-Mobile, whose journey to AWS Cloud management started more than 2 years ago, uses a service catalog to enforce operational discipline in the Cloud. Their catalog is custom crafted for each Cloud-based IT workload. This session provides insight into the AWS Cloud operations strategy and its transformation, the creation of a Cloud operations service catalog, and how this approach supports reliable engineering on AWS.

Learning objectives: 1) Understand overall trends in cloud adoption 2) Learn best practices for migrating diverse workloads – to take full advantage of cloud services
The modern IT stack has become diverse and distributed, and it’s increasingly challenging to manage heterogeneous platforms and multi-vendor devices. Customers are looking to the cloud and APM to help address these hurdles, as well as accelerate IT transformation.
But migrating to the cloud will take time, it won’t make infrastructure ‘just disappear’, and legacy workloads are going to remain part of the enterprise reality for many. In addition, while APM will continue to be increasingly important, all applications are not the same and an application is still not equal to a digital business service.
Watch this webinar as John Worthington, a service management expert and Director of Product Marketing for eG Innovations, continues our Shift-Left series. You can learn:
• Why domain expertise is important when defining monitoring requirements
• What analytics are useful from a monitoring and observability context
• How end-to-end monitoring with converged application and infrastructure performance can drive ITSM and DevOps integration

Disaster recovery projects centered on recovery point and recovery time objectives are inherently broken. For decades companies have been taking that same approach to disaster recovery, asking the same questions, delivering the same message and investing countless dollars while expecting (but rarely achieving) better results. Find out how you can permanently change the way your organization approaches JD Edwards disaster recovery, where every dollar spent and every decision made finally produces an ROI with tangible results.

What would be the impact to your organization if a disaster struck and you could not access enterprise applications to communicate with customers, manufacture or fill orders, and track financials? In this Disaster Recovery (DR) webcast, Velocity Managed Disaster Recovery Services expert, Jim Knight, describes two real-world examples of companies that struggled through a disaster declaration before realizing they needed to change their DR approach.
About 70% of business people have experienced data loss due to accidental deletion, disk or system failure, viruses, fire, flooding or some other disaster. Most companies have a DR plan, but few have the expertise to fully test and execute those plans, particularly for enterprise applications. Hear two compelling stories and learn DR best practices for protecting the availability of your enterprise solutions and related business applications.
Our vision is clear. We are here to change the way enterprise software is acquired, hosted and maintained. Today’s technology offerings are evolving to meet changing customer requirements and market demographics. Enterprise software is one of the last technologies prone to long evaluation cycles, huge deployment costs and risky implementations. While most software vendors provide freemium purchase models, ERP and other applications are woefully out-of-date. Business moves too quickly. And, a new generation of professionals views the RFP selection process as a relic from another era. It doesn’t need to be that way.
Once the software is installed, its capabilities should be boundless. While SaaS offerings have changed the financial dynamic of purchasing software it has created compromises in customization and extensibility. Our vision is different. We foresee the need to add operational and performance insight, a vast array of tools to speed implementation and enhance usability, a catalog of complementary software to meet the unique needs of businesses through an app store concept, and a social fabric to truly enrich application functionality. With so much innovation creating new frontiers, why confine your enterprise applications to yesterday’s traditions?
Many organizations have taken comprehensive steps to design, implement and test disaster recovery plans. The elements of a real disaster event can introduce many unexpected twists, turns and detours in the recovery path to resuming normal business operations.
In this webcast, Richard Dolewski, VP Business Development and Disaster Recovery at Velocity Technology Solutions will explore:
- Why downtime is a business issue, not just a technology issue;
- Why even the most comprehensive, well-contemplated disaster recovery plans often fall short when they’re put into real-life practice;
- The importance of eliminating single points of failure at the levels of people, technology and geography; and
- The benefits of more modernized approaches including cloud-based disaster recovery.
This webcast will draw on real-world customer examples and show how disasters can unhinge even the most iron-clad disaster recovery plans. Don’t wait for an actual disaster to take you down. Attend this webcast to glean valuable lessons learned from others, and better understand how you can protect your business.
We'll cover what the manuals don't about getting your EnterpriseOne users onto WebLogic Server. Learn from field experience, compare notes and discover what comes after the install to make your transition smooth and transparent.
Your company requires more than an alternate site contract with redundant equipment. When analyzing your current recovery solution, you may find your organization has no documented DR plan or process, no recovery facility, equipment constraints, or human resource limitations. A managed disaster recovery service provides your organization a backup and recovery assessment, a full recovery as part of the assessment, documentation for your businesses recovery plan, and equipment for future recovery needs, plus a recovery test each year and staff to perform the full recovery in the event of a disaster. Your disaster recovery solution will reduce risk and exposure, meet your corporate disaster recovery objectives, provide recovery time and recovery point assurance, and demonstrate a successful, documented test in a geographic diverse recovery center.

Oracle® is phasing out support for earlier JD Edwards ERP versions in 2013, which is increasing the pressure to upgrade to the 9s. Do you have all the information you need to justify your upgrade, protect your assets and complete the transition?
During this on-demand webinar industry experts share best practices on how CIOs and IT staff can:
- Prepare for an upgrade to the 9s that supports your business requirements.
- Speed up implementation, reducing the project timeline.
- Leverage a virtual private cloud model to reduce the impact of the upgrade on internal resources.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

• Private: where service
access is limited or the
customer has some
control/ ownership of the
service implementation,
e.g. built by enterprise IT
• Virtual Private: Same as
―Private‖ but replace
―enterprise IT‖ with ―third-
party provider‖
When the customer does
not see the implementation
behind the boundary, and
the provider doesn’t care
who the customer is, you
have a public cloud.

• If application performance and security are most important
- Private cloud may be better than public cloud
• If economics are more important than applications
- Public cloud may be better than private cloud
• If cost is important
- Private cloud with an OpEx model may be better than on-premise
