Want to mitigate performance issues with your application?

Over the last 10 years, the data access performance and scalability bottleneck has moved from the database to the data connectivity layer. It is critical that your data architecture eliminates performance issues relating to database access that could limit the success of your business applications.

Join Rob Steward, VP of R&D, as he discusses the data architecture considerations for various technology scenarios such as Web-based apps, server-based apps, SOA, event-based applications and more.

Critical applications demand highly available components at every level. Simply ensuring that the database has 99.999% uptime just isn’t enough. It is time to demand more from your data access middleware.

In this webinar, we will explore the challenges of designing applications and complex systems for high availability. We will also show how to increase the uptime of your environment by having smarter data access components while lowering your IT costs.

• Learn how to increase the uptime of applications by having smarter data access components while controlling costs.
• Enhance any clustering or replication solutions within your application architecture.
• Hear real-world examples of customers who have applied DataDirect’s technology to solve complex problems.

In this webinar, we will explore the challenges of designing applications and complex systems for high availability. We will also show how to increase the uptime of your environment by having smarter data access components while lowering your IT costs.

Whether you’re looking for a virtual clustering solution or ways to add value to your existing replication environment, we’ll show you how to enhance your application architecture to achieve those goals. Learn from real-world examples of customers who have applied DataDirect’s technology to solve complex problems.

In just two years time, Web services have gone from early trials to an industry standard that is rapidly transforming the mainframe into a new source of business value. Pure business logic, screen-based applications and data can be service enabled for re-use in Java or .NET applications to immediately accelerate project ROI or serve as a foundation for an expanded Service–Oriented Architecture. What impact will Web Services and SOA have other major infrastructure investments, for example WebSphere MQ? Tune–in to this special Shadow Tech Talk webinar exploring the latest Web services technologies. Unlock the value of your mainframe CICS transactions and VSAM data - Exploit the power of your MQ infrastructure through mainframe Web Services.

Business and IT leaders have never had more compelling reasons to work together than in facing today’s economic challenges. Both are confronted with severe budget constraints while simultaneously being challenged to rapidly integrate disparate entities and technologies in order to meet the demands of a new reality.

While many IT managers chase cost-cutting alone, leaders find ways to increase value at the intersection of IT and business, enabling efficient transformation through time-tested infrastructure technology including the mainframe. Technology leaders today face the real complexity of delivering value to new business architectures that do not natively align with IT architectures of the past - and do so with significantly lower TCO.

In this webcast we address the following key questions:

• What do business leaders need to understand about these concepts in aligning cost and performance expectations for the technologies used in their business?
• Which concepts are key to specific business value and which are more about broader IT performance?
• When should business leaders support new IT spending and when should they expect IT to leverage existing resources for new value?
• How can IT professionals find the efficiencies in order to support new mainframe related projects?
