DevOps: From Concepts to Practical Applicatons

Jack Madden converses with James Rendell to get the CA perspective on Enterprise Mobility Management’s (EMM) future potential. EMM must not for get BYOD but also go beyond it into Mobile App Management (MAM) and find ways to keep users personal information and employers information separated and find a way to embrace the Internet of Things.

Jack Madden discusses Enterprise Mobility with Arun Bhattacharya to get the CA perspective on the way it should be. This means going beyond BYOD and MDM, and embracing MAM, MEM, MCM, and IoT. For many companies, finding the balance between employers and users privacy and security has been a problematic issues.

In this webinar, we’ll be going back to basics to cover what DevOps is and why should you care about it, but also discuss more advanced topics like proactively analyzing business applications during the development phase, and bringing down the silos between developers, IT operations, QA, and the business.

Sign-up for this webinar with John Jelinek, the co-founder of DevOps Live, and Matt Zanderigo of Riverbed for some expert coaching on taking the plunge to DevOps, smoothing out the interaction between development and operations, and gaining visibility into application change to help speed up application rollouts.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:
•How to initiate a DevOps transformation, notable traits of successful DevOps cultures and how to get both Dev and Ops to work together effectively
•How to ensure performance defects are discovered early with sufficient detail to fix the issue with Application Performance Management.
•How companies like Michelin and National Instruments have reduced production issues up to 30%, and streamlined their application rollout process up to 6 times faster.

Many customers who want to deliver application releases quicker, find bugs earlier and eliminate testing infrastructure turn to Capgemini’s Test Environment Management (TEM) services, which leverages CA LISA® Service Virtualization. The TEM methodology incorporates automated regression testing and virtual test environments; enabling greater coverage of non-function tests. The resulting test environment expedites delivery of new application features to business users, reduces costs and ensures higher quality production systems.

Join CA Technologies & Capgemini on April 16, 2014 at 10:00 am ET to learn how these capabilities are delivered by Capgemini, the functionality of the CA Technologies tools that make it possible, and a customer’s experience with the Capgemini TEM - CA Technologies solution.

Questo è il primo episodio di una serie di webinar che illustreranno le diverse modalità in cui AWS viene utilizzato dai team di sviluppo agili. Tutti gli episodi faranno riferimento a una startup impegnata nell'apertura di una nuova area di business, illustrando i vantaggi offerti dall'utilizzo di AWS. La startup puo' essere una nuova realtà o un centro di innovazione all'interno di una azienda esistente, ad esempio per seguire il lancio di un nuovo prodotto.

In questo episodio vengono descritti i principali vantaggi di AWS per le startup e i team IT agili, soffermandosi su come il team abbia sviluppato rapidamente un prototipo funzionante utilizzando i diversi servizi offerti dalla piattaforma.
