Topic: Sense and respond to data coming from the edge of your enterprise with WebSphere MQ Telemetry
View the replay and download the presentation
WebSphere MQ is the market-leading integration product for message-oriented-middleware (MOM) for the past 15 years, providing reliable message delivery. With the advance of embedded device technology, a market began to emerge for extending the MOM style of integration to the edges of the enterprise thru telemetry. This new capability allowed companies to have greater operational control and insight on their business at its furthest extremes.
In response to industry needs, IBM created a telemetry protocol that has since been successfully deployed in a variety of industries from energy and utilities to retail. In IBM Smarter Planet terminology, telemetry deals with the link between “instrumented” and “interconnected” tiers.
This session will provide an overview of IBM telemetry scenarios, demonstrating how the protocol can be implemented to maximize the value of business interactions.

Topic: Enhancing WebSphere Portal & IBM Content Manager with Elastic Caching
Time: 11:00 AM EDT(GMT -4)
Watch the video replay and download the presentation here
Websites and applications have become progressively more complex as our industry’s technologies and methodologies advance. The load capacity and response times of modern applications are increasingly constrained by access to back-end datastores such as content repositories and general database systems which are difficult to scale up. Caching of content by applications as done by WebSphere's Dynamic Caching service can help with this problem but runs into a number of limitations including invalidation/consistency problems and application server memory constraints.
WebSphere eXtreme Scale and the XC10 caching appliance can help address these challenges. If you are looking to improve customer experience by providing a basis for faster, more reliable web sites, the WebSphere eXtreme Scale product family offers an implementation of dynacache which stores cached content in an in-memory elastic data grid instead of using the default dynacache implementation which stores cached content in WebSphere Application Server heap space or on disk. There are numerous advantages to this configuration such as: caches can be much larger than what the application server heap would otherwise support while not paying the penalty of storing on disk, caches are shared between application server instances, and cached content can survive an application server restart. This implementation can be enabled without requiring any application code changes.
Watch this webcast to learn:
-
The benefits of distributed in-memory data grids aimed at high-performance/high-scale data-intensive applications
-
Details surrounding the WebSphere eXtreme Scale dynacache provider

BPM and SOA have always been better together. At the heart of an SOA are services — repeatable business tasks — like “new account opening” or “customer credit check”. These services can then be used (and re-used) in the context of multiple business process or combined to deliver new, composite processes. The key for mid-market and departmental users is that this integration approach must be easy to implement and manage. Too often enterprises have shied away from the necessary SOA approach vital to many BPM use cases because the solution has been too complex, the enterprise has been too strapped for resources or the project simply doesn’t mix with their current staff or set of skills. The combination of IBM BPM and the new WebSphere Message Broker (WMB) V8 looks to change this tune for good.

Agile development and Cloud computing are causing organizations to consider how DevOps strategies support the entire application change cycle.

The DevOps Cycle extends across the application release phase to managing the end-user experience and change management functions that channel problem records, requirements and change requests back through Development to drive the next iteration of the change cycle.
The DevOps Cycle enables enterprises to become truly agile across all the business functions supported by web-based applications. A critical challenge in the cycle is visibility across both development and operations tools.
