Planning scalable environments isn't terribly difficult, but it does require a change of perspective.
In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Phil Jackson, Development Community Advocate for SoftLayer, will broaden your views to think on an Internet scale by dissecting a video publishing application built with The SoftLayer Platform, Message Queuing, Object Storage, and Drupal. By examining a scalable modular application build that can handle unpredictable traffic, attendees will able to grow your development arsenal and pick up a few strategies to apply to your own projects.
Speaker Bio:
Phil Jackson is Development Community Advocate for SoftLayer. He helps customers and partners integrate with the SoftLayer's API. He also architects the company's Drupal websites, writes API documentation, and maintains the developer blog. Formerly, he was a Sales Engineer building internal tools and providing technical consultation for potential and existing customers.
Jackson started his career in webhosting at Ev1Servers where he led the training department. With a passion for technology that started at a young age, he has developed skills in a variety of scripting and programming languages and enjoys sharing his knowledge with the tech community.
In his General Session at 14th Cloud Expo, Marc Jones, Vice President of Product Innovation for SoftLayer, explained how to take advantage of a multitude of compute options and platform features to make cloud the cornerstone of your online presence:
"As you need to store more data, you scale it out with Hadoop. Cloudant is very similar. Services are focused on APIs. Today, we also focus on the concept of the Internet of Things. We are getting to the point that any device, anywhere can generate data. That covers everything from Big Data. The data coming from sensors in small devices need to be stored somewhere. This could be log data, it could be actual captured data. But it has to be stored and analyzed somewhere. This needs to perform well, otherwise it creates a negative end user experience. Performance becomes key with the IoT."
The largest 'Internet of Things' event in the world has announced "sponsorship opportunities" and "call for papers."
The 1st International Internet of @ThingsExpo was launched this June at the Javits Center in New York City with over 6,000 delegates in attendance.
