The Case for Virtualizing SAP

According to a recent survey by MobileIron, 81% of companies accommodate personal mobile devices in the workplace and more than 50% have formal BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) programs in place. Another survey from iPass found that nearly half of IT managers in organizations implementing enterprise mobility strategies believe their company’s approach to be insufficient. Register for this webinar and discover how to avoid missteps on your path to mobility.

As more applications have moved to the cloud, the industry has seen a proliferation of application security issues. In 2012, several cloud service providers were breached as a direct result of application security vulnerabilities. Before you choose a cloud service provider, make sure that it answers the series of security questions created by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). CSA has created a checklist of industry-accepted ways to document what security controls exist in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings – creating more transparency for enterprises. The speakers will walk attendees through this blueprint, helping them to become more adept at identifying service provider security readiness. They'll also discuss some of the most common application vulnerabilities, including unencrypted passwords, SQL Injection, and those that impact poorly architected mobile apps.

The mega-trends of SaaS, mobile and Big Data are converging, generating a new wave of business opportunity for enterprises. The convergence demands a new kind of platform – one that connects and takes advantage of the explosion of endpoints and data caused by organizations each choosing a uniquely diverse set of best-of-breed applications to power their business. Ross Mason will discuss his vision for this new platform and demonstrate how MuleSoft’s solutions are making it a reality.

Questions to be discussed include:

How will SaaS and mobility impact my business?
Is SOA really dead?
Does my business need an API strategy? Where should we start?
Can the Anypoint platform help me secure a competitive advantage?

Many organizations have been taking advantage of virtualization and cloud technologies to reduce server counts, and gain operational advantages. When it comes to business critical workloads such as those running Oracle, migration to virtualization and the cloud has encountered more resistance, and roadblocks.

This presentation will examine industry trends in virtualization and cloud computing for enterprise workloads, such as Oracle, SAP, PeopleSoft, MS SQL Server, etc. Case studies will be presented that explore the advantages of a cloud strategy for mission-critical applications. Strategies for minimizing risk, and maximizing benefits will be provided.

Data Centre Transformation, is often accompanied by a change in sourcing, where there is a need to rapidly understand what is in the existing Data Centres and an ongoing need to manage those assets.
