WSO2 to Present Technical Webinar on How to Migrate Enterprise Applications to the Cloud Using the WSO2 Stratos Cloud Middleware Platform











WSO2 delivers the only complete open source enterprise SOA middleware stack purpose-built as an integrated platform to support today’s heterogeneous enterprise environments—internally and in the cloud


Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) March 15, 2012

Cloud computing enables enterprises to cost effectively extend the reach of their applications and readily adapt to changing demands. However, a successful migration requires not only the ability to provide full cloud-native functionality—such as multi-tenancy, elasticity, self-provisioning and metering—but also seamless integration with on-premise systems that need to remain behind the firewall. To help IT architects, developers and managers address these demands, WSO2 will present a free webinar entitled, “Roadmap to the Clouds – How to Easily Migrate to the Cloud Platform Using WSO2 Stratos.”

The one-hour WSO2 technical webinar on cloud migration will run Wednesday, March 21, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PST. For more information, visit wso2.org/library/webinars/2012/03/quotroadmap-clouds%E2%80%9D-easily-migrate-cloud-platform-using-wso2-stratos.

The webinar will examine how the WSO2 Stratos cloud middleware platform can be deployed in various infrastructures, including public and private cloud environments, to provide facilities such as self-provisioning, multi-tenancy, elasticity and metering. The session also will cover how enterprises can use WSO2 Stratos to efficiently move service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications to the cloud while supporting many industry standards such as Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), OpenID, eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML), and the WS-* family of Web service specifications.

The webinar will be presented by Selvaratnam Uthaiyashankar (Shankar), a senior software architect who is part of the WSO2 cloud platform team. Shankar is a recognized industry expert in security and cloud deployment. Equipped with an in-depth understanding of the elements of security, he brings quality insights into the architectural aspects of securing an enterprise whether on-premise or in the cloud.

Oracle Modernization Solutions: A practical guide to planning and implementing SOA Integration and Re-architecting to an Oracle platform

by

Product Description
In Detail

Much has been written about legacy modernization in the past few years. Most of the books, analysts’ reports, and white papers focus on why you should modernize and theorize at a high level regarding the different approaches and possible outcomes. This book provides a detailed guide to how to implement two well known mainframe modernization approaches–SOA Enablement and Re-architecture.

SOA Integration is a non-invasive approach and allows legacy components to be used as part of an SOA infrastructure quickly and without risk and is often the first step in the larger modernization process. Re-architecture focuses on reverse engineering legacy applications to preserve business knowledge then forward them to modern architectures that take advantage of open and extensible standards.

In this book you will learn how to quickly and easily expose a mainframe VSAM data store in an Oracle-based Java EE application. You will also learn how to leverage your mainframe application code to create a new Oracle/Java EE SOA-based application. The book is agnostic in terms of hardware and operating system as most of these have proven to be able to handle the reliability, scalability, and performance of a mainframe system.

After reading this book, you will feel much more comfortable that mainframe modernization is possible and can made less risky by following the recommendations and approaches used in the book.

What you will learn from this book?

  • Gain an understanding of different approaches to modernization of legacy systems
  • Determine your short and long term modernization strategies and know how to look for the right business and technology drivers in your organization
  • Understand when and why you would choose the modernization options of SOA Integration and Re-architecture
  • Architect an Oracle-based platform for you modernized legacy system
  • Know the best approaches to take to transform your application from a rigid, monolithic system to an agile, adaptable application based on Oracle and SOA
  • Quickly SOA-enable your legacy mainframe application using legacy SOA Integration
  • Use the hands-on SOA Integration example that walks you through the entire development process as a starting point for your own pilot project
  • Use the hands-on Re-architecture example that focuses on forward engineering business rules, presentation tier, and screen navigation from the legacy system into an Oracle platform as a starting point for your own pilot project
  • Learn about Oracle’s modernization re-host solution: Oracle Tuxedo
  • Dive into the future of legacy modernization based upon industry trends such as Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP), Grid computing, Cloud computing, etc.

Approach

This book combines case studies with practical examples of how to implement modernization techniques using Oracle (and partner) products to modernize to the Oracle Platform. The book also weighs the pros and cons of specific modernization use cases. Finally, we explore some of the emerging trends in technology and how they apply to legacy modernization.

Who this book is written for?

Legacy system architects, project managers, program managers, developers, database architects and decision makers who own mainframe and heterogeneous systems, and are tasked with modernization will all find this book useful.

The book assumes some knowledge of mainframes, J2EE, SOA, and Oracle technologies. The reader should have some background in programming and database design.
