The future of SOA, Web 2.0, and Virtualisation
Addressing the CIO's dilemma
Scott Crenshaw

The confluence of the virtual enterprise architecture, dynamic resource allocation, and rapid application delivery and deployment represent a platform shift which will be as significant as those introduced by the PC, the Internet, and Linux. In this session, you will understand how recent innovations fundamentally change the economics and productivity of IT. See how to meet the seemingly limitless expectations placed on IT departments, within your current budget, while at the same time shifting your investment to development of new applications. As your environment becomes more complex and distributed, greater flexibility through technologies like single sign-on, storage, and security become even more critical. Understand how new technologies allow you to achieve true continuous availability and reliable disaster recovery, without increased cost or complexity. And realize the dramatic savings today's open source can make on your entire IT infrastructure.

Integrated Virtualisation: Better IT asset utilisation, efficiency and responsiveness
Werner Knoblich

IT executives struggle to increase the utilisation of their dispersed IT assets. Most installed hardware runs at 5% to 10% utilization. Low utilisation adds hardware costs, team management costs, and complexity to IT operations. Red Hat provides the first integrated virtualisation platform from operating system to application – including storage, security, and management. It enables IT assets to better respond to peak workloads, as well as peak demand for specific services and business processes. The Red Hat SOA platform seamlessly leverages the benefits of operating system virtualisation, helping customers reduce costs and refocus resources on the application and business process automations that differentiate their business.

The Open Source platform for SOA: Affordable, easy to consume, and flexible
Sacha Labourey

Enhancing business agility is one of the key drivers for CIOs today. The promise of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is that it will provide that dynamic application infrastructure. Proprietary, monolithic approaches to SOA, however, can't deliver on the undeniable need to continue to keep costs under control. Red Hat provides the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite (JEMS) as a suite of cross-platform middleware products that enable the development, deployment, and management of SOA-automated business processes and services. Learn how the simplicity of the tools decreases time to develop and deploy new SOA-enabled applications – and how modularity enables deployment at your own pace.
