Fully leveraging your data, infrastructure, and IT staff has never been more important than it is now, during these times of fiscal responsibility and evolving business demands. In response, businesses need to maximize their IT by getting increased performance, efficiency, and economics out of their infrastructure and resources.
This presentation focuses on three key technologies that provide particularly compelling opportunities to maximize IT:
-All-flash systems that accelerate access to information for faster decision-making, analysis and productivity.
-Unified storage solutions that enable you to process more, and diverse, workloads in less time while driving capacity efficiencies.
-Unified compute solutions that deliver improved orchestration and automation and enhance the productivity of your IT staff, while avoiding costly over- or under-provisioning.

Give Your Confluent Platform Superpowers! (Sandeep Togrika, Intel and Bert Ha...HostedbyConfluent
Whether you are a die-hard DC comic enthusiast, mad for Marvel, or completely clueless when it comes to comic books, at the end of the day each of us would love to possess the superpower to transform data in seconds versus minutes or days. But architects and developers are challenged with designing and managing platforms that scale elastically and combine event streams with stored data, to enable more contextually rich data analytics. This made even more complex with data coming from hundreds of sources, and in hundreds of terabytes, or even petabytes, per day.
Now, with Apache Kafka and Intel hardware technology advances, organizations can turn massive volumes of disparate data into actionable insights with the ability to filter, enrich, join and process data instream. Let's consider Information Security. IT leaders need to ensure all company data and IP is secured against threats and vulnerabilities. A combination of real-time event streaming with Confluent Platform and Intel Architecture has enabled threat detection efforts that once took hours to be completed in seconds, while simultaneously reducing technical debt and data processing and storage costs.
In this session, Confluent and Intel architects will share detailed performance benchmarking results and new joint reference architecture. We’ll detail ways to remove Kafka performance bottlenecks, and improve platform resiliency and ensure high availability using Confluent Control Center and Multi-Region Clusters. And we’ll offer up tips for addressing challenges that you may be facing in your own super heroic efforts to design, deploy, and manage your organization’s data platforms.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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!

Why Networked FICON Storage Is Better Than Direct Attached Storage
With the many enhancements and improvements in mainframe I/O technology in
the past 5 years, the question "Do I need FICON switching technology, or should I
go with direct attached storage?" is frequently asked. This webcast explores both
technical and business reasons for implementing a switched FICON architecture
instead of a direct attached storage FICON architecture for mainframe attached
storage. The discussion will also include an overview of the Hitachi Data Systems
and Brocade solutions for mainframe environments.
By attending this webcast, you’ll learn
• The business and technical value of networking FICON attached storage
instead of direct attached
• The business and technical value of Hitachi mainframe storage capabilities
• The offerings from Hitachi Data Systems and Brocade that can help you
achieve the benefits of networked FICON storage
