'Elastic SOA on the Cloud' - C2B2 is speaking at JUDCon London 2011

Steve Millidge, C2B2 Director will be speaking at JUDCon in London on the 31st of October.

What?

Elastic SOA on the Cloud

When?

Monday, 31st of October, 

Session Three: 12:15

We know JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform can deliver huge agility in developing new functionality through service reuse. However if our services become popular they may be subjected to massively increased client load from events we as service owners can not predict.With the massive return on investment gained in deployment of private clouds using technologies such as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization it is now possible to combine SOA-P with JBoss Operations Network to elastically scale out your Service Deployments in response to real time load increases.

This session will take a technical deep dive into the current JBoss SOA-P product and explore these questions:

• How can I monitor the load on my Services using JBoss Operations Network?
• How can I fire up additional compute capacity as a service becomes loaded?
• How do I architect my SOA-P deployment to utilise the power and flexibility of a private or public cloud?
• How do I deploy UDDI to ensure clients can fully utilise new capacity?
• How can I see what is happening on my ESB infrastructure?

This session is for architects and developers who have moved beyond playing with SOA-P and are looking to deploy SOA-P into production. The session may not answer all your questions but you will learn from somebody who has been there and got the T-Shirt.

JUDCon is Coming to London!

When: October 31, November 1st 2011
Where: London's Park Plaza Victoria.
Why: Because developers need to get their hands dirty in code.

What is JUDCon?

JUDCon is a conference "By Developers, For Developers." Presentations will include a
range of deep technical dives into JBoss Community projects and related technical topics of developer interest.

The fourth JUDCon to date, JUDCon London: 2011 will be a two-day, four-track event
packed with valuable sessions, and an evening or exciting events that will run into the wee hours.

On Monday we'll have 3 tracks for a total of 18 sessions to choose from: "OpenShift / Cloud," "Rules, Workflow, SOA and EAI" and "Cool Stuff."

After dinner, there will be a live recording of the JBoss Community Asylum podcast. Then come the Lightning talks, HackFest, and beer... until after midnight.

On Tuesday November 1st we have 5 more sessions focused squarely on JBoss Application Server 7. This second day will also include Dr. Mark Little's JAX keynote "Middleware Everywhere - Ready for Mobile and Cloud" and Jax Community Night, and Jax London attendees will get to attend this second day for free.

How much? 

Monday Pass = ￡100, 2 Day Pass = ￡200.

What if I want to go to Jax London as well?

JUDCon London: 2011 will be co-located with JAX London and share the same venue. If you would like to attend both (and who wouldn't want to) our advice is to get a Monday pass for JUDCon London, and then register for Jax London... you'll get the second day of JUDCon London thrown in for free!

We've never had a JUDCon in London before, and we are very excited at the prospect. Register now! We hope to see you there!

Oracle Coherence - Free Technical Workshops

C2B2 together with Oracle are running a series of free, hands-on technical workshops on data grids and Coherence. 

The workshops are perfect for Lead Developers, Technical Architects, Solution Architects, Technical Leads or any other technical staff interested in learning how to overcome Extreme Performance, Scalability and Availability challenges.

Coherence is a Java, .NET, and C++ enabled clustered caching and data grid technology that delivers high availability, rapid performance and extreme scalability. Coherence provides replicated and distributed (partitioned) data management and caching services on top of a reliable, highly scalable peer-topeer clustering protocol. It includes network-level fault tolerance features and transparent soft re-start capability to enable servers to self-heal.

Join us for this unique technical event to learn, network and play with some cool technology!

When?

Tuesday, 27th September | Thursday, 27th October | Tuesday, 29th November

Where?
Oracle Corporation UK Ltd. | One South Place, London | EC2M 2RB

Speaker:
Steve Millidge – Director and Principal Consultant at C2B2, Expert Group member for JSR 347 (Data Grids) and JSR 107 (Caching), expert in architectures for extreme scalability, high availability and performance.

After attending C2B2 & Oracle Coherence Workshop you will:

• increase your knowledge of Data and Compute Grids in general and Oracle Coherence in particular.
• learn how data and compute grids can be used to solve particular problems in Reliability, Availability, Scalability and Performance (RASP)
• The workshop is a great networking opportunity; you can talk with your peers and industry experts to swap knowledge and experience

The Workshops will give you a chance to see and test the key benefits of data grid technology:

• Data Reliability - ensures no down time or data loss.
• Linear Scalability - ensures you can grow as your customer base grows.
• Extreme Performance - your service is fast and responsive to customers.
• Elastic scale up and scale down - ready for modern cloud architectures so you can save money by flexing your hardware to match customer demand.

Agenda:
Workshops will be split into two sessions:
Morning: ‘Data Grids Explained' - presentation.
Afternoon: ‘Hands-on Labs' using Oracle Coherence.

Morning Session:
09:30 - 10:00 Arrival, coffee and networking
10:00 - 10:45 Extreme Performance, Scalability and Availability challenges
10:45 - 11:00 Coffee and networking
11:00 - 11:45 Data and Compute Grids - what are they good for?
11:45 - 12:30 Coherence at Scale
12:30 - 13:30 Lunch
Afternoon Session:
13:30 - 14:15 Hands on with Oracle Coherence (Coherence first steps)
14:15 - 15:00 Coffee and Networking
15:00 - 15:50 Hands on with Oracle Coherence (Elastic Scaling of the Coherence Grid)
15:50 - 16:00 Wrap Up

London JBUG August Event 'JBoss AS7 Hackathon' - Photos

Last JBUG (30th of August) was devoted to JBoss 7 - again! Unless you’ve been living in a cave you’ll have noticed that it has recently been released. There’s lots of hype, tweets, blogs and videos about it but is it any good? We aimed to find out by hosting a Hackathon to get to grips with JBoss 7.

Some things we tried with JBoss 7:

• Get it running
• Mess with some JEE6 features
• Build a big cluster
• Try out the new Domain mode and run server’s on each other’s laptops
• See if it’s as fast as it claims to be

About London JBUG:

JBUG London is a group of people who share a common interest in JBoss software.

JBUG is organised and supported by the community, we meet on a regular basis to discuss new technologies, development methodologies, interesting use cases, and other technical topics in friendly and casual atmosphere (usually with some beer and pizza).Our goal is to provide education and help, to promote open source, to network and share real world experiences with other members of the community.

If you would like to meet face-to-face with other members, please join the group and respond to one of our upcoming events. As this is a user group we are looking for people out there to volunteer to talk about their experiences with any JBoss.org project. If you have something that you would like to talk about then feel free to contact the organisers and ask to give a short lightning talk at the next meeting. Tell us about something you think is cool, something you think is rubbish, problems you've encountered and would like solving or problems you’ve solved and you’d like to share - anything JBoss related is what we want!

C2B2 is the main sponsor of London JBUG.

Have a look at JBUG Meetup Page or go to JBUG Registration Page if you're interested in attending any future events.
