Application Darwinism – Why Most Enterprise Apps Will Evolve to the Cloud
Thurs., November 14 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. PT
Sands Expo Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
: Brad Schick, Chief Technology Officer and VP of Engineering at Skytap; Paul Haury, IT Director at Fulcrum; Lee Orrick, New Product Introduction Engineer Lead at F5; and Ryan Carey, Software Engineer at DataXu
Complex multi-tier enterprise applications that have been under development for decades assume reliable hardware and typically have dependencies on underlying operating systems, hardware configurations, and network topologies. The boundary between one application or service and another is often fuzzy, with many interdependencies. These traits make some enterprise applications difficult to refactor and move to a public cloud. Even the teams that manage these applications can be unfamiliar with cloud terminology and concepts. In this session for enterprise IT architects and developers, Brad Schick, CTO of Skytap, along with customers F5 Networks, Fulcrum Technologies, and DataXu, will share their insights into why the evolution of enterprise applications will lead to hybrid applications that opportunistically take advantage of cloud-based services.
Amazon Web Services re:Invent, the largest gathering of developers and technical leaders from the AWS community, features technical sessions, training bootcamps, and hands-on lab experiences to give attendees an intimate knowledge of the AWS Cloud ecosystem. Skytap experts will be on-hand to help attendees to refine your cloud strategy, improve developer productivity, increase application performance and security, and reduce infrastructure costs. On Wed., November 13, Skytap will be hosting “Beer and Banter with Skytap” at their booth #820, where attendees can receive product demonstrations and discuss Skytap-s application development and testing solutions, as well as enter to win Amazon gift cards and a chance for a trip to Oktoberfest 2014 in Germany!
