Pilvipalvelujen hyödyntäminen liiketoimintaratkaisuissa -seminaari 11.12.2008, Dipoli, Otakaari 24 Klo: 8:00 – 16:40

Tervetuloa kuulemaan miten pilvipalvelut muuttavat liiketoimintaa ja tietotekniikkaa lähivuosina.

Pilvipalvelut yhdessä paikallisesti asennettujen sovellusten kanssa tarjoaa ratkaisuna aivan uudenlaisia mahdollisuuksia ajasta ja paikasta riippumattomaan työntekoon ja asiakaspalveluun.
Puhujina David Chappell (Principal, Chappell & Associates) ja Clemens Vasters (Technical Lead, Microsoft).

Esitysten kieli on englanti. Tilaisuus on suunnattu tietotekniikka-arkkitehdeille. Aamun osuus on sopiva myös teknologiapäättäjille. Iltapäivällä syvennytään hieman teknisemmälle tasolle.

lmoittauduthan viimeistään 4.12. mennessä. Linkistä löydät myös tarkemmat kuvaukset esityksistä ja puhujista. Paikkoja rajoitetusti. Tilaisuus on maksuton mutta vaatii ennakkorekisteröitymisen.

Tervetuloa!

Cloud Computing, The big picture and Microsoft Cloud Platform

Cloud computing looks like the biggest change to hit our industry in many years. The advent of cheap, scalable computing power available over the Internet will affect almost everybody who works in IT. But taking advantage of this shift requires understanding this new approach and how to exploit it. In the morning,
David Chappell looks at the big picture of cloud computing, then focuses in on Microsoft’s new cloud platform technologies.

The topics he’ll cover include:

• A realistic look at cloud computing: Benefits and risks
• The cloud context: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Salesforce.com, and more
• Microsoft’s cloud platform technologies: “Red Dog”, “Zurich”, LiveMesh, and others
• Using the Microsoft cloud platform: Which technologies make sense for your applications?

The goal is to provide a framework for thinking about cloud platforms, make clear what Microsoft’s cloud platform technologies can do, then offer guidance on how to make good decisions for using them.

David Chappell is Principal of Chappell & Associates in San Francisco, California. Through his speaking, writing, and consulting, he helps software professionals around the world understand, use, and make better decisions about new technologies. David has been the keynote speaker for many conferences and events on five continents, and his seminars have been attended by tens of thousands of developers, architects, and decision makers in forty countries. David’s books have been translated into ten languages.

 
 

 

Deep zoom into the MS services platform

Introducing Microsoft® .NET Services

Service Oriented Architecture commonly manifests in an implementation pattern referred to as ‘Service Bus’. Applications share a common identity and access control foundation such as Active Directory (AD), leverage naming and discovery capabilities provided by AD, UDDI, or simply DNS, and communicate through central hubs like BizTalk or peer-to-peer with service-enabling technologies like WCF. While the ‘Service Bus’ pattern is very popular, implementers often hit major obstacles when they want to take the pattern beyond the corporate perimeter. The major obstacles are the integration of identities and access control rules across organizational boundaries, providing secure communication paths that don’t require opening up the floodgates on corporate firewalls, and the ability to orchestrate service interactions across broadly distributed service assets. This session introduces the Microsoft .NET Services family that enables federating on-premise assets and provides the building blocks for creating Internet-scope Service Bus implementations for solutions that routinely need to cross the boundaries of corporate networks: The .NET Access Control Service, .NET Workflow Service and the .NET Service Bus.

Microsoft® .NET Services – A Closer Look

This session will provide a closer look at the .NET Access Control Service, .NET Workflow Service and the .NET Service Bus. You will see how to use a configure access control and identity federation, how and when to use the various connectivity options of the .NET Service Bus including its cross-platform REST and SOAP support, and how to orchestrate services using the .NET Workflow Service.
Clemens Vasters is the Technical Lead for the Microsoft® .NET Service Bus. Clemens owns the specification of the technical capabilities of the Naming, Service Registry, Relay and Connectivity feature areas. Prior to joining the .NET Services Team, he held Program Manager roles in a central coordination team for “Oslo” and on the Connected Framework team that builds WCF and WF. Before joining Microsoft in early 2006, Clemens was a managing partner in a consulting and training company, and educated many thousands of developers and architects on .NET and Microsoft technologies at world-wide conferences and events in over 40 countries.
