Intel IT Center

A sound enterprise mobile app strategy focuses on automating and scaling 4 key pillars: back-end data/app integration, app composition/packaging/promotion, secure channel from device to enterprise, and tools to simplify app creation cross-device. Mastering these disciplines delivers native mobile apps that offer consistent and compelling user experiences and brand expansion through engaged developer communities. In this webinar, Forrester & Intel focus on how mobile middleware solutions have evolved the from traditional 3-tier web apps to provide direct access to back-end data via APIs. However, the evolution to this model presents new challenges to developers: inconsistent formats and protocols, inadequate security controls, and rapidly evolving interfaces, to name just a few.

You will learn:
-Tips for integrating BYOD platforms into your enterprise app offerings
-Tradeoffs between web app portals and native mobile apps
-The gateway approach to streamline development while improving security
-Tools to provide a unified foundation for mobile enterprise application development

Keeping the most important workloads up and running smoothly, 24/7 can keep IT managers up at night. Additionally, the need to rapidly analyze the ever-increasing amounts of data being generated in connected world is major imperative. Increasingly, these challenges need to be met in a tight budgetary environment.

Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor – the next leap forward in High Performance Computing.

Learn why Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor may be a compelling solution for your HPC environment. Each individual Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor delivers the performance to extend the reach of applications that have demonstrated the ability to reach the scaling limits of Intel® Xeon® processor based systems. HPC clusters populated with Intel Xeon processors and Intel Xeon coprocessors can potentially see significant performance gains when properly tuned and optimized. The fabric becomes fundamentally important to delivering and maximizing the clusters performance. What are the hardware and software features that make Intel Xeon Phi uniquely different from other solutions in the market? How to design a high performance fabric that optimizes Intel Xeon Phi performance in cluster? Is your code highly parallelized and vectorized? Why is this important? How do I know? Learn how the Intel tools can help you get the best performance out of you applications.

This is a webinar you do not want miss if you are interested in maximizing the performance of your HPC workload.

Consumerization is much more than a simple Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program; it’s about delivering the complete user experience that employees have come to expect. Find out how implementing a solid consumerization plan can increase flexibility, efficiency, and productivity. Tune in to learn best practices that will help you select the right tools for your consumerization overhaul.

Learn more about consumerization, and how to:

· Expand your end-user computing strategy beyond BYOD.

· Embrace the consumerization of IT while keeping the enterprise secure.

· Give your increasingly tech-savvy workforce the hardware they want and need to stay productive.

· Gain insight from Intel IT’s effort to address consumerization in the enterprise and serve more than 25,000 employee-owned smart phones, thousands of employee-owned tablets, and hundreds of employee-owned PCs.


This event will be live, so please bring any questions you have concerning consumerization.

Attend this talk to hear how the Healthcare IT Maturity Model Programme is delivering leading insights for hospitals, enhancing their IT capabilities towards achieving improved eHealth outcomes. The programme assists a hospital’s IT function plan a more holistic approach to the strategy, implementation and running of electronic medical record (EMR) and general IT services.

This talk outlines how to systematically improve performance of the IT organisation by using complementary management approaches, namely the IT Capability Maturity Framework (from IVI), NHS Infrastructure Maturity Model (from NHS DHID) and EMR Adoption Model (from HIMSS Analytics). We will also share early results from European hospitals, including NHS hospitals, plus details on how to participate.

The Healthcare IT Maturity Model Programme is being supported by Intel Corporation, NHS DHID, Innovation Value Institute (IVI) and HIMSS Analytics Europe.

HPC (High Performance Computing) is a fast growing technology used across many industries, as it has become the means to maintaining a competitive edge in a global economy. Whether your organization is large or small, global or local - HPC can mean a faster time-to-market, producing products at a lower cost and with more competitive features. This webinar will describe the value behind HPC and how it can help you and your organization become more successful. There are many aspects to HPC and one key attribute is performance. How do you design and implement an HPC cluster that will allow you to discover faster, run more simulation models to minimize expensive physical models? We will talk about the system attributes that enable HPC performance including the processor, memory and fabric.
