Presenter: Gerd Nachtsheim
Task: Contribute to and influence open-source communities
Approach: Discuss how the joint efforts of people within and outside of InterSystems created our Hibernate driver and contributed to the Hibernate project
 

Description: The development of our latest Hibernate driver was a joint effort of multiple groups of people within and outside of InterSystems with different roles that was ultimately contributed to the Hibernate project. Come to this session to learn more about how open-source communities think and how you can leverage and contribute.

Problem: Everyone else appears to be doing open-source contributions, but it doesn’t fit into our company.

Solution: If you find an open source project that is interesting for you or your customers, contribute to that project and make it a better one that is also easier to use within your landscape.

Presenter: Ray Wright
Task: Validate your performance and scalability claims, detect and correct bottlenecks, or determine the hardware needed to optimally run your applications
Approach: Discuss and demonstrate the use of our WebStress feature to design and run benchmark tests of your HTTP-based applications.
 

Conducting benchmark tests of your applications can help you highlight your performance and scalability claims, detect and correct bottlenecks in your application, and provide useful information about the hardware required to optimally run your solutions. Come to this session to learn about our “WebStress” feature that can help you design and run benchmark tests of your HTTP-based applications.

Presenter: Mark Bolinsky
Task: Decide whether a converged infrastructure is ideal for your enterprise applications
Approach: Discuss best practices and provide guidance on the right questions to ask
 

The traditional use of “SAN storage” is no longer the only choice for deploying enterprise application. Software defined data centers are making inroads into enterprise data centers, and there is good reason for it. There is the potential for significant infrastructure cost savings, architecture simplification, reduced administration costs, and depending on the configuration - even better performance. This session will discuss some best practices and outline decision guidance to help you ask the right questions when considering hyper-converged architectures.

Presenter: Stefan Wittmann
Task: Take advantage of the NoSQL paradigm without adding another tool
Approach: Provide sample use cases that are an excellent fit for InterSystems’ new document data model
 

Description: Designing applications always requires you to make assumptions about your data model. Come to this session to learn how you can effectively handle the cases where you have to rapidly evolve your model. We will also discuss other use cases that are an awesome fit for the flexible document data model.

Problem: I’ve observed the NoSQL landscape and like the direction, but I have no use-case that fits and I do not want to add yet another tool.

Solution: InterSystems now has support for a well integrated document data model that brings the NoSQL paradigm to the enterprise within your current stack.

Hi, Community!

The Second Global Summit Free Registration Contest is running and we have only one week to celebrate new winner!

Here is current leaderboard amongst non-InterSystems DC Members after a half of the race:

(If you want to see contribution from InterSystems employees just set the filter value in the Deepsee dashboard)

John Murray contributed more than others last week.  John is a leader, but he did the result only for one week! 

There is one week more and so everyone can be a winner!

Hi, Community!

We've started InterSystems Global Summit Free Registration Contest this week.

Here is interactive leaderboard available! 

Hi, Community!

There are only six days left to win InterSystems Developer Community MVP prize.

As it was announced in addition to Free Registration on InterSystems Global Summit winner gets 4 nights stay in the Arizona Baltimore, Waldorf Astoria Resort.

We measure contribution to Developer Community on valuable posts and comments and prepared special leaderboard built on InterSystems DeepSee.

By default, it shows all the members. We added the filter to the dashboard to show leaderboard without members who are InterSystems employees.

So here is current leaderboard without InterSystems members:

There is any mean to use different fonts? For example "Courier New" for code text, or different colors? To work only with HTML is too hard

I'm very proud of the Worldwide Response Center - an excellent group of men and women - and I am interested to hear from you about your experience using the WRC.  There are always better ways for us to serve you.   

I'm also very excited about the Developer Community which we're bringing to you to give you an opportunity to connect with groups and individuals in the InterSystems community.  Let us know what you think and how we can improve it in order to serve you better.
