WSO2 Vice President of Technology Evangelism to Speak on Redesigning Enterprise Architecture at Gartner Catalyst Conference 2013
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- WSO2 today announced that WSO2 Vice President of Technology Evangelism Chris Haddad will deliver a presentation at the Gartner Catalyst Conference 2013, “Driving Enterprise Architecture Redesign: Cloud-Native Platforms, APIs, and DevOps.” WSO2 is a platinum sponsor of the Gartner Catalyst Conference, which will run July 29 - August 1, 2013 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, CA.
Transforming Enterprise Architecture for Today’s Demands
Today, high-performance enterprise architecture is rapidly changing due to three fundamental drivers: cloud-native platforms, APIs and DevOps. This session will explore how IT professionals can take advantage of these drivers to transform and optimize their enterprise architecture. It will examine how organizations can change the way they think about operational infrastructure, application life cycle practices, and successfully integrate and evolve infrastructure and applications, especially mobile applications.
• Time: 2:15 - 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday, July 31, 2013
• Location: Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, CA
Many of the concepts that Chris will examine in the workshop are introduced in a white paper he recently developed, "DevOps meets ALM in the Cloud – Cloud DevOps PaaS." The paper can be downloaded at http://wso2.com/whitepapers/devops-meets-alm-in-the-cloud-cloud-devops-paas.

Open Approaches to API Management, DevOps and the Cloud

• Building applications that can seamlessly and smoothly migrate between local servers, public clouds, private clouds, and cloud hybrid environments.
• Addressing common enterprise mobile challenges, ranging from the proliferation of diverse smart devices to building mobile applications.
• Using DevOps and API management to take advantage of new opportunities for monetization and ecosystem development by extending processes and services to customers, partners, and other groups within the organization.
• Enabling the robust life cycle management, governance and collaboration to continuously create develop and deploy enterprise applications into cloud environments.
• Encouraging adoption and reuse through the deployment of an intuitive Apple or Google Marketplace-like storefront that lets developers easily subscribe to and consume APIs, applications and gadgets.
