Integration intervention: Get your apps and data up to speed

We completed the 3rd webinar in our Beyond Big Data Webinar Series.  Our webinar concentrated on the Enterprise Service Bus with Fuse and the Data Bus with Data Virtualization.  I have included the presentation as well as the link to listen on demand.

Webinar #3: Integration intervention: Get your apps and data up to speed

SOA has been the defacto methodology for enterprise application and process integration, because loosely coupled components and composite applications are more agile and efficient. The perfect solution? Not quite.

The data’s always been the problem. The most efficient and agile applications and services can be dragged down by the point-to-point data connections of a traditional data integration stack. Virtualized data services can eliminate the friction and get your applications up to speed.

In this webinar we'll show you how to:
  • Quickly and easily create a virtual data services layer to plug data into your SOA infrastructure for an agile and efficient solution
  • Derive more business value from your services.

Data Integration Webinar Series

Information is power. It gives your organization the competitive edge it needs to win. But, with so much data and so little time, how do you leverage all this data to actually yield valuable business insights?

Big data solutions are a great start. But what about being able to easily access the right data, at the right time?

Watch the webinar series to learn how to overcome challenges of big data, data bottlenecks, and data integration. Topics in this 5-part series are:
  • Implementing a data strategy and architecture to avoid data problems
  • Delivering data-rich user experiences with high performance and scalability
  • How to quickly and easily create a virtual data services layer
  • Analytics based decision making
  • Avoiding Hadoop data silos

Integrate Everything, Everywhere

Thursday November 20, 2014 I will be in Mountain View, CA for a JBoss Users Group Meetup (JBUG).  I am looking forward to talking about Camel and Enterprise Integration Patterns on the West Coast.  We will run some demonstrations that you will be able to run yourself.  Come join us for a exciting meetup!  For more information and to register visit the following link: http://www.meetup.com/BayAreaJBug/events/217527822/

Learn how the integration patterns and Camel components can help provide solutions to problems faced during Enterprise Application Integration both on premise and in cloud. We will also do several demos that you can easily run yourself including Camel on EAP and Docker.

The Topics we will cover briefly are:
  • What are EIPs?
  • EIPs Defined
  • Widgets and Gadets Example
  • What is Camel
  • EIPs in Action - Standalone
  • EIPs in Action - OpenShift
  • EIPs in Action - Docker
  • EIPs in Action - EAP and Docker

Camel and Enterprise Integration Patterns

We are working on a online presentation and multiple demos around Enterprise Integration Patterns with Camel, ActiveMQ with Standalone, OpenShift and Docker environments.  The Topics covered are:
  • What are EIPs?
  • EIPs Defined
  • Widgets and Gadets Example
  • Apache Camel and ActiveMQ
  • EIPs in Action - Standalone
  • EIPs in Action - OpenShift

We will continue to improve this deck so please add any comments here or email us your comments.  I have included the slide deck below.  Move to the right for each topic and down to dive into each topic.  Or you can go to the presentation directly at http://jbossevangelist.slides.com/kpeeples-jte/enterprise-integration-patterns-primer


JBoss Docker Github Organization

I wanted to share the JBoss Docker Microsite this week as well as the JBoss Docker Organization which contains Dockerfiles that can be used to build Docker images with JBoss Community projects.  The repository has been moved to the github organization for better management.

The Docker project revolutionizes thinking about software delivery making it easy to build and share images that include your content. We at JBoss love the idea behind Docker and ship images for our projects. Just for you.

We publish our images under the official jboss organization. Every image is built from Dockerfiles available in our GitHub repository. To keep them up to date we have automated builds that track the source and rebuild images (only) if necessary. Additionally, images are linked to each other: If an image we’re base on is modified, we rebuild our image to provide you the fresh image that you deserve.

You can find the following docker files on github with more being added:

  1. aerogear
  2. immutant
  3. keycloak
  4. liveoak
  5. modeshape
  6. nodyn
  7. switchyard
  8. torquebox
  9. wildfly
We have add a couple of Product Docker Files as well:
  1. Fuse Service Works
  2. Data Virtualization

Find the JBoss Docker Microsite at http://www.jboss.org/docker/

Asia Pacific Red Hat Technical Exchange - Architect Implement Enable


Architect, Implement, Enable at the Asia Pacific Tech Exchange in Macau in December.  Last year I did multiple sessions for the Asia Pacific Tech Exchange which were done remotely. This year I will be presenting a couple of sessions at APAC RHTE in Macau December 1-5, 2014 in person. 

Keep watching for more information on the sessions and agenda at:

Red Hat provides probably the best software in the world. And it is free, secure and open source too. And we have done quite job providing that value to our customers. It took 20 years to get here but we are merely at the beginning of what started out as an open source revolution. To go forward we will go one step at the time, one customer, one technology, one colleague.

The Red Hat Tech Exchange will provide all that practical knowledge and experience and best practice to you. Become part of a worldwide team of experts, thinkers, consultants, architects and leverage your knowledge while expanding your network at the same time. Besides typical knowledge transfer sessions, there will also be workshops, experience sharing sessions and interactive sessions.

The Red Hat Tech Exchange will host inspiring keynotes on the first morning before we break out in 4 parallel technical tracks. At the end of each day there will be opportunities to network and enjoy the time together. The Red Hat Tech Exchange will end with a panel discussion that recaptures the event. The last day will be used for collaborative initiatives.
