July 28: Achieving Economies of Web Scale in Your Enterprise with Containerization
Containerization is the next big step in cloud architectures, since unlike virtual machines, containers share the same underlying operating systems. This leads to significantly smaller overhead and higher efficiency. This webinar will discuss how orchestration technologies, such as Kubernetes, provide the ability to achieve scale by managing multi-container deployments. It also will explore how enterprises can leverage these technologies to enable microservice architectures, near-instant scaling, application portability, and cross-datacenter solutions—while bringing cloud economies of scale to their data centers.
Presenting will be Dmitry Sotnikov, WSO2 vice president of cloud. The webinar will be held Thursday, July 28, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. PDT. For more information, visit http://wso2.com/library/webinars/2016/07/achieving-economies-of-web-scale-in-your-enterprise-with-containerization.
August 2: Analytics as Your Business Edge
Data is a valuable asset in empowering enterprises to gain the insights needed to make strategic decisions and take the appropriate actions. Moreover, data can be monetized, for example by brokering interactions between end users with digital advertising or selling insights to third parties in anonymized forms. This webinar will explore a number of use cases that demonstrate how new business models can arise from data analytics, which can be leveraged to:
• Produce new and better products.
• Enable new user experiences.
• Gain a better understanding of customers.
• Make customer interactions seamless.
• Enable new pay-per-use business models and dynamic pricing.
Presenting will be Dr. Srinath Perera, WSO2 vice president of research. The webinar will be held Tuesday, August 2, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. PDT. To learn more, visit http://wso2.com/library/webinars/2016/08/analytics-as-your-business-edge.
August 4: Talking to Devices - The Importance of a Comprehensive Internet of Things Platform
Increasingly, organizations are seeking to harness the power of the Internet of Things by feeding data from IoT devices into the enterprises systems that drive their businesses. This webinar will discuss the key considerations in integrating devices with systems. It will start by examining how almost all systems can be simplified into message processing entities that send and receive messages to and from other systems. Then, it will review how devices similarly can be simplified into units that are capable of sensing and actuating.
Next, the webinar will examine the components essential to an IoT platform in addressing the challenges that arise from integrating devices with systems, such as:
• Device identity and metadata management
• Device failure and anomaly detection
• Security token management
• Processing of large amounts of data
• Guaranteed message delivery
• Device-specific transports and protocols
Presenting will be Sumedha Rubasinghe, WSO2 director of API architecture. The webinar will be held Thursday, August 4, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. PDT.
