About the Speaker
Distributed systems technologies have been available for some time, however never before have they held such a strategic relevance to general business and computer vendor strategies. Every major computer vendor is betting their business on some form of distributed technology. Large organizations are deploying strategic business systems that use advanced distributed technologies in order to gain competitive advantage. Organizations futures are now integrally linked to their selection and use of distributed systems technology.
This seminar is designed to expose individuals to the key elements of distributed systems, it will provide them with an opportunity to compare and contrast the suitability of different products for use within their organizations.
Addresses all of the primary distributed systems technologies:
~ 1 Hour Session
A brief view of distributed systems history is used to highlight the evolution of technologies and provide the audience with an understanding of where distributed systems technologies fit and where they heading.
~1.5 Hour Session
A brief introduction to and examination of distributed systems transports. The features and functionality of key technologies such as OSF's DCE, Sun's ONC+, OSI and IBM's SNA are examined and positioned against each other. These technologies tend to form the basis of distributed systems, however they lack the comprehensive infrastructure required to deliver advanced distributed applications. It is however important to understand what these technologies provide and how they compare.
~ 1.5 Hour Session
RDBMS vendor database transport technologies and third party database integration tools are examined. Database architectures are studied so as to gain an understanding of complex issues surrounding performance and large scale systems support.
~1.5 Hour Session
An overview of TP Monitor technologies, standards and architectures. The top five TP Monitor technologies are examined and contrasted. Integration techniques and products are highlighted. Learn how these early technologies are pointing us towards the next generation of computer systems.
~1.5 Hour Session
In this section we will examine some of the more popular Middleware technologies. Their features, benefits and problem areas are examined.
~ 6 Hour Session
Detailed introduction to the Internet. Examination of successful technologies and tools. Pointers on how to get the most out of the Internet from a user, a web site and a vendors perspective. Information searching, web crawlers and browsers, web servers, secure transmissions and fire walls, forms and database interfaces, TP Monitor and ORB integration etc.
~ 2 Hour Session
An introduction to Object Request Brokers (ORB's) - the infrastructure for advanced distributed applications. Understand where new distributed object technology is heading, what the standards are and the issues surrounding the standards. Understand why distributed object technology is having such an impact on application development and implementation.
Understanding the underlying architectures of Object Request Brokers (ORB's) and other leading distributed object technologies is a fundamental requirement for designing effective distributed object applications. The leading vendors ORB implementations are briefly compared and contrasted (For a detailed analysis and comparison of ORB's see the ATSI Object Request Broker Seminar ). Be aware of the capabilities, limitations, and what to look for in distributed technologies. Gain insight into new technologies that can provide your organization with a competitive advantage.
~ 3 Hour Session
The application of distributed technologies. Learn how to design scaleable, secure, fault tolerant distributed systems. Be prepared for the next generation technologies.
