A Primer on Distributed Event-Driven Architecture with NServiceBus

Presenter: Richard Cirerol
Time: 4:45 PM – 6:00 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 217

Using a distributed message bus, we are able to decouple our distributed systems yet continue to add business value. In this session, we will discuss common enterprise integration patterns and real-world systems that utilize these patterns. We will build an extensible, event-driven, and distributed service layer using the open-source framework, NServiceBus. We will also briefly compare and contrast NServiceBus to MassTransit and the Windows AppFabric Service Bus.

Data Architecture – a "Corner Stone" of EA

Presenter: Atul Borkar
Time: 1:30 PM – 2:45 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Shiley Hall, Room 123

Data Architecture – a 'Corner Stone'of Enterprise Architecture -As the organizations across the globe, aggressively pursues their strategic objectives; a key strategy and method is required in this pursuit, and that is 'Data/Information Availability'. Accurate, reliable and available information enables the organization to make timely and better business decisions. We have seen many differing methodologies over the years with CRM, Portals, B2B efforts and score carding capabilities. The need for well structured and quality information is more important than ever. As a result, we are seeing a significant acceptance and synergy relative to the importance and value having a robust Data Architecture. Most organizations today have a co

Deploying your Rails App into Amazon EC2

Presenter: Joshua Siler
Time: 1:30 PM – 2:45 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 026

During this session we'll review a real world case study of a production Ruby on Rails application. Along the way, we'll explore the architecture of an Amazon EC2 based system, and look at methods for automated, zero downtime deployment of new code using Capistrano, Git, EC2, and test driven development methods.

Design Patterns in architecting applications in the cloud - Amazon Web Services

Presenter: Jinesh Varia
Time: 3:15 PM – 4:30 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Shiley Hall, Room 301

Amazon Web Services provides highly reliable, scalable, elastic infrastructure where you only pay for what you use with no up-front expenses or long-term commitments. In this session, we will discuss new ways to build architectures that leverages the AWS cloud. This session will provide prescriptive guidance to cloud architects (Concepts, Best Practices, Patterns) who are looking to either migrate an existing session to the cloud or build a new application with 21st century design It will focus on: • How to you architect future applications with cloud in mind? • How to migrate an existing web application in the cloud? • How to "spike-proof" your web application ? Auto-scaling ? • How to build a secure website in the cloud? • What are some of the best practices in building a highly scalable application in the Cloud ? The session will be ideal for enterprise architects and technical decision makers who already have basic understanding of Amazon Web Services offerings.

GET REST (An Introduction)

Presenter: Cory Isakson
Time: 1:30 PM – 2:45 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 231

In this presentation my goal is to GET everyone excited about using REST in their application architectures. Most, if not all of the cloud computing services available today are supporting and embracing REST. So can you, and you will be surprised how easy and sensible it is. We will look at the fundamentals of REST and HTTP to understand where it fits and where it does not.

Getting Started with SQL Azure

Presenter: Bruce Kyle
Time: 3:15 PM – 4:30 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 217
Tags: Azure, Cloud, Data, SQL

Bruce will show how to get started using SQL Azure. Working with SQL Azure should be a familiar experience for most developers because, for the most part, it supports the same tooling and development practices currently used for on premise SQL Server applications. I'll show how to use familiar tools. And will show some tips and tricks, which are important to working with SQL Azure, such as managing your connection in the event of throttling and querying the metrics views.

Intel IT Enterprise Private Cloud - Architecture and Execution

Presenter: Das Kamhout
Time: 3:15 PM – 4:30 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 026

The emergence of cloud computing has not only provided an option for lowering computing costs by utilizing cloud services, but cloud also represents a significant technical architecture that Intel IT is beginning to adopt internally as well. The value proposition for internal cloud as the architecture to deliver infrastructure as a service is targeted to reduce costs, increase responsiveness to the needs of the business, and improve ease-of-use in the services IT delivers to the enterprise. We will describe Intel IT’s approach and strategy for implementing internal cloud and IaaS as well as the technical/business barriers or enablers gating successful implementation.

Patterns in Windows Azure Platform

Presenter: Bruce Kyle
Time: 10:45 AM – 12:00 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 026

Bruce will present the four main patterns for Windows Azure Platform. These are architectural patterns patterns for high availability, scalability, and computing power with Windows Azure.

The cloud machine: Why building your own cloud will be the new black

Presenter: Tom Hughes-Croucher
Time: 4:45 PM – 6:00 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 026
Tags: Cloud

When people talk about cloud we tend to think about Amazon or Slicehost. We are creating a view of the cloud that is just about service providers. There is another view on the cloud, one made of cloud factories. Not every company wants to run their own cloud, but many do. Let's explore why private clouds are important, and how easy they are to build. We can explore the companies like Yahoo! and Facebook that are building private clouds to provide excellent infrastructure to the rest of their business without any intention of offering a cloud service.
