Mobile Makes Your Enterprise Go Boom (The Good or Bad Kind)
Jay Balunas — Mobile Platform Architect, Red Hat
This can be a good boom, or a bad boom. What determines the outcome may be trickier than you think, and enterprises today are burdened (or blessed) with new requirements for their developers and their infrastructures.
In this session, attendees will explore the latest in enterprise mobile development. They will learn how to plan ahead and minimize risk. The discussion will cover options for applications and infrastructures, such as on-premise or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), mobile, web, hybrid, and native, and even integration options for existing services.
Jay Balunas will discuss the Red Hat offerings (e.g., OpenShift by Red Hat, JBoss Developer Studio, etc.) and JBoss Community projects (e.g., AeroGear, Forge, JBoss Application Server, etc.) that can help make mobile development explode (in the good way). He will also walk attendees through a typical enterprise application, discussing backend functionality (that can be accessed across many clients) and host requirements on JBoss Application Server and OpenShift by Red Hat.
And on the client side, attendees will explore AeroGear and its SDKs for iOS, Android, Cordova, and web-based mobile applications.

Rethinking Mobile & Web Applications with Errai
Lincoln Baxter III — Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
Mike Brock — Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
We can’t afford to ignore JavaScript, HTML5, and mobile. They were the hottest trends of 2012 and are only getting bigger. However, JavaScript, which is viewed as the go-to solution for creating web applications that work for both desktop and mobile users, has limitations that can quickly leave teams stranded.
Feeling the burden of maintenance, at the mercy of fast-paced trends, or with little support, you need a solution that offers the rapid prototyping of JavaScript, but can also withstand the harsh reality of larger-scale application development and the maintenance that follows.
With Errai and Errai UI, that solution has arrived. Errai and Errai UI deliver greater productivity, flexibility, and control over pure JavaScript, while maintaining the familiarity of your established Java tools and techniques.
In this session, Lincoln Baxter and Mike Brock will demonstrate how to use native Java syntax in the browser to create fully dynamic, interactive, client or client-server applications using HTML5 templating, data-binding, and other programming models.
Join the session to learn how to:
- Leverage client-side storage and offline data-sync with JPA and Hibernate
- Reuse your domain model in the browser
- Find dependency-injection, REST, and direct remote procedure call (RPC) at your command
- Make your application mobile with Errai Cordova and CSS3 Responsive Layouts

OpenShift Deep Dive: Running a Large, Public PaaS
Mike McGrath — Principal OpenShift Architect, Red Hat
OpenShift Online, Red Hat’s hosted PaaS offering, continues to grow along with the applications it supports, which are growing more sophisticated and demanding additional resources. In this session, Mike McGrath will detail what it takes to manage an environment like this and help connect the dots between Red Hat’s public OpenShift Online offering and its private, on-premise offering, OpenShift Enterprise.
In addition, Mike will discuss how to create a successful hybrid model between a private enterprise with traditional computing resources and a public PaaS. He will explain how to utilize both environments securely as demand requires it or as a transition is required from private hosting to public hosting.
Specifically, Mike will discuss:
- OpenShift architecture
- Capacity planning
- Performance tuning
- Monitoring and automated recovery techniques
- Common problems
- Hybrid cloud computing
- Creating custom cartridges

Liberate your Files: A Solution from Vizuri using ownCloud, OpenShift, & Red Hat Storage Server
Isaac Christoffersen — Architect, Vizuri
Matt Richards — Product Strategist, ownCloud
Ted Brunell — Solution Architect, Red Hat
Many of today’s enterprises are working under the false assumption that there is a trade off between consumer-centric file sharing and corporate IT policy compliance. This assumption is common because market-leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for file syncing and sharing are not designed around enterprise IT needs. They represent growing risks with vendor lock-in, data security, compliance, and data ownership.
Fortunately, by leveraging innovative open source solutions from Red Hat and ownCloud, enterprises can provide a simple-to-use file syncing and sharing solution for employees. And this solution enables enterprises to have greater control over valuable intellectual property.
In this session, representatives from Vizuri, ownCloud, and Red Hat will:
- Identify the risks involved with public cloud-based solutions
- Share use cases for private cloud solutions
- Discuss how hybrid and on-premise solutions are both achievable and secure.
Vizuri will demonstrate a hybrid cloud file-sync and share SaaS solution, designed using OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat, ownCloud, and Red Hat Storage Server, that delivers an integrated mobile, desktop, and web-based solution.
Location: Room 310
Topics: Cloud deployment, Cost savings, Mobile, OpenShift by Red Hat, OpenShift Origin, Red Hat Cloud, Red Hat Storage, Red Hat Storage Server, Scalability, Security
