Speaker:
Peter Yared, Founder & CEO, ActiveGrid.
Web 2.0's core pieces: scaling out on commodity machines, rich Internet AJAX applications, and open source stacks like LAMP, have steadily gained traction throughout the technology industry. In fact, these technologies are now being used by large traditional enterprises not just small startups and large scale websites. The reason for the shift? It is hard enough with existing toolsets to build an application with a reasonable user interface that communicates with a single database and when you graduate to rich user interfaces and numerous web services and databases, the existing infrastructure is completely inadequate and forces a shift to the architecture that has been proven by Amazon, Google, and Yahoo. During this session Mr. Yared will discuss how to companies can use proven open source technology to build rapidly build rich new applications that weave together existing systems without disrupting their operation.
