Cloud Dynamics levearges SDN to speed customers journey to the Cloud - Case S...Juniper Networks UKI
Cloud Dynamics is a cloud computing provider that needed to build a scalable cloud infrastructure solution to help customers quickly migrate to public or private clouds. They selected Juniper's MetaFabric architecture which included the Contrail SDN solution, EX and QFX switches, SRX firewalls, and Junos Space management platform. This provided Cloud Dynamics with a converged infrastructure fabric that allowed for automated provisioning and orchestration across data centers to accelerate customers' transition to the cloud in a secure and cost effective manner.
The University of Siegen implemented a Cisco Unified Computing System with Nexus switching and NetApp storage to virtualize their server infrastructure. This consolidated their 120 physical servers down to 14 Cisco UCS blades that can support up to 400 virtual servers. It reduced power usage by 30% and simplified management by reducing the number of vendors from ten to two. Staff and students now have faster access to resources through self-service provisioning and the new infrastructure is designed to support the university's needs for the next 10-20 years.

Cloud computing is the next evolution of systems architecture that promises to deliver computing infrastructure
at lower cost, greater flexibility and significantly higher levels of scalability than ever before. The benefits of
cloud computing are primarily built on the notion that cloud environments allow you to achieve these results
by virtualizing the different work-loads that you run, and deploying them within an environment that can
automatically scale up, or down, as work-load demands change over ti me.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
Test Management as Chapter 5 of ISTQB Foundation. Topics covered are Test Organization, Test Planning and Estimation, Test Monitoring and Control, Test Execution Schedule, Test Strategy, Risk Management, Defect Management
