Keynote Session Synopsis
The Power of Participation
Damien Wong, Vice President and General Manager, ASEAN, Red Hat
Participation and innovation are tightly linked. Helping communities and companies harness and share innovation beyond the sum of their individual members is a leadership and technology challenge of our time. Take artificial intelligence or machine learning. Instead of locking down knowledge and working in isolation, many companies realize that working together is the only way to solve complex problems. This principle of participation extends through business and technology.
At Red Hat, we see the power of participation every day in the world of open source, where user-driven innovation underlies the advances we are seeing in network evolution， cloud computing, Linux containers, mobile, and big data etc. It is because of this participative movement, which sets the pace of innovation, that open source has become a default choice in IT.
Open Source Powers Enterprise Digital Transformation
Frederic Giron, Vice President, Research Director Serving CIOs, Forrester
Open source innovation helps technology leaders embrace software architecture that is open, flexible, modular, scalable and secure to succeed in a digital world. Software innovation processes need to be collaborative, open – as in scaling beyond the traditional borders of organizations – and operating at the speed of the customer. This session will leverage Forrester insight and a hot-off-the press Asia Pacific survey of 450 CIOs to describe what is happening today and how technology leaders can map their strategies to the opportunity.
Building an Architecture for Continuous Innovation
Chris Wright, Vice President and Chief Technologist, Red Hat
Your IT organization's architectures, processes, and platforms must let you build new kinds of apps in response to ever-evolving business demands. Incremental innovation doesn't seem like enough anymore — you must be able to innovate continuously through rapid development and modern operations. Red Hat® solutions, tools, and process expertise can help you create usefully hybrid environments, automate and streamline workflows, and develop better solutions faster. But don't take our word for it — we'll show you how our customers are leading the way.
Breakout Session Synopsis
Containers in the Enterprise
Shazli Mansor Mohd Ghazali, Platform Solutions Architect, Malaysia, Red Hat
Successful IT organizations are able to balance the advancement of traditional enterprise applications, services, and infrastructure with the delivery of innovative cloud-native applications. While meeting the demands of the business is challenging, advancements in container technology is helping to both modernize existing workloads and drive agile processes for new application development. But doing this at scale, and meeting the requirements of enterprise IT are significant challenges. Container management, security, orchestration, identity and access policy, data persistence, are all areas that must be addressed in order for containers to cross from the developer's laptop, to the server clusters in the datacenter. This session will illustrate how enterprise IT can accelerate business agility and achieve greater security across hybrid cloud environments by leveraging containers and will address how to make them consumable for the enterprise. It will also set the story straight around the myths and misperceptions of containers.
Building Modern Apps using Next Generation Application Platforms
Vishal Ghariwala, Regional Product Management Director, Application Platform Products, APAC, Red Hat
Digital technologies are creating new business designs by blurring the boundaries between physical and virtual worlds. Traditional businesses will need to adapt and change their business models to stay relevant. How do they go about doing that? Software is what differentiates the Traditional Business from the Digital Business. And the Modern App is an instance of that software. The Modern App is the face of the Digital Business. All the great examples: Uber, AirBnB, NetFlix - we recognize them by their app. The Modern App is a pre-requisite for digital businesses. This presentation looks at the characteristics of a Modern App and how to build it. It also talks about the architectures and platforms you need to have in place to build such modern apps.
Enabling Digital Transformation
Sivaram Shunmugam, Enterprise Technologist, ASEAN, Red Hat
Applications, and the infrastructure that they run on, are rapidly changing as new computing models are introduced. New models, like virtualization, cloud, containers, DevOps, and mode 1/mode 2 applications, each introduce new capabilities and new complexities into organizations. A suite of Red Hat management products can help you adopt new application and infrastructure capabilities and provide management across heterogeneous environments. Its capabilities include: - A cloud management platform (Red Hat CloudForms) that allows you to gain control of your virtualization environment, and build and manage a private or hybrid cloud - A radically simple IT automation engine (Ansible Tower by Red Hat) that automates cloud provisioning, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs - A configuration and life-cycle management solution (Red Hat Satellite) that makes infrastructure easier to deploy, scale, and manage across physical, virtual, cloud, and container environments - Red Hat Insights that help you move from reactive fire-fighting to proactive, smart IT management Join this session to learn how these products can help you manage hybrid, heterogeneous environments.
Containers in Action - Transform Application Delivery with OpenShift and DevOps
Evan Wong, Middleware Solutions Architect, Malaysia, Red Hat
Learn the best practices for improving applications delivery with DevOps and Containers. Find out how Red Hat helps customers improve application delivery, how containers help streamline processes, and how container application platforms can help provide a consistent environment for dev and ops teams to collaborate across multiple clouds.
Why Software-Defined Storage is Critical for your IT Strategy
Rahul Vijayan, Senior Solutions Architect, ASEAN, Red Hat
Businesses today are increasingly adopting software-defined technologies to become more agile, reduce cost, increase scale, and stay relevant. Today’s key innovators, such as Airbnb & Uber, have demonstrated their ability to redefine entire markets through the use of modern software platforms. Enterprises need an alternative to traditional infrastructure. Red Hat offers a complete portfolio of next-generation cloud, container, operating system and software-defined storage solutions. Software-defined storage runs on clusters of standard x86 hardware and delivers petabyte-scale storage for demanding workloads. Attend this session to learn how Red Hat technologies provide a dynamic foundation for modern data centers, enabling organizations to become more efficient and advanced.
Enterprise Mobility: The First Step Towards Digital Transformation
Gerald Khor, Business Development, Mobile, APAC, Red Hat
Digital technologies such as enterprise mobility are a catalyst for new ways of doing business and are driving a wave of innovation and change for organizations. Enterprise mobility offers opportunities for companies to reinvent business processes, engage in new ways with customers, business partners and employees, to improve customer satisfaction and drive operational efficiency. However enterprise mobility can be challenging to IT as it demands more agile IT ecosystems to enable collaboration on faster, continuous development cycles, openness to new tool chains and architectures, and integration with existing core systems. This session will discuss how a mobile application platform could enable organizations to develop and deploy mobile apps in an agile and flexible manner, take advantage of open technologies and standard toolkits while centralizing control over security, back-end integrations, and policy management, to enable digital transformation with mobile.
