Designing your Data Architecture for Performance
Audio Podcast
In a well tuned application environment, between 75 to 95% of the response time associated with database access can be attributed to the data connectivity layer. It is critical that your data architecture considers the performance impact of your ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET drivers and providers as well as XML based functionality.
In this podcast, we discuss the considerations that should be included in your overall data architecture and relate that to different technology scenarios – client/server apps, server-based apps and SOA. We also introduce best practices for measuring the performance and scalability of your application’s database access code.

SOA and Beyond: Regaining Competitive Advantage
Video Podcast
Integration is the cornerstone of value that IT delivers to large organizations. Without it siloed applications and data are limited in their ability to impact operational efficiencies of the enterprise. Driven to integrate, organizations have layered complex, interwoven connections which limit scalability, are difficult to maintain and run the risk of failure. SOA is changing the face of integration, providing a viable option for uniting mainframe and distributed environments. This new level of interoperability is quickly merging with zero latency Event-Driven Architectures delivered via a single platform Mainframe Services Bus for true cross platform business process optimization. Presented by NEON Systems and BI Journal zJournal, this educational Web seminar explores options for organizations to regain competitive advantage through streamlined business integration.
