Presentations

Faster Time to Value through Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the biggest IT trend in a decade. The promise of cost and time savings are not obvious nor easily realized. We will present cloud deployment strategies for Java web applications using a number of SpringSource products that dramatically compresses the application lifecycle and help you run and manage cloud deployments successfully and efficiently. SpringSource products reduce the learning curve, complexity, time, and cost to leveraging the leading cloud vendor technologies.

This session will include the following topics:

  • Java web application deployment
  • Deployment blueprints
  • Monitoring and Management services
  • Auto-scaling and forecasting
  • Transitioning from development to production

Session Detail

Operations Intelligence: Learn More from Your Performance Data

Hyperic HQ collects more application performance metrics and provides more coverage for the entire web infrastructure stack than any other systems monitoring software. HQ's metric data keeps IT infrastructures running smoothly with real-time alerts and on-the-fly analysis for root cause resolution. However, when context is applied to the data, you gain an insight into the performance data that helps operations and business users to analyze, evaluate, plan, act, and make strategic decisions. This session will present different usage scenarios and environments and walk through how Hyperic IQ can apply intelligence to the abundance of application performance data from HQ. We will be looking at a number of IQ's built-in report templates that can easily be adapted to your environment.
