Webinars: New Architectures for Connecting your Cloud, Mobile and SOA Applications

This webinar section is designed to provide you with best practice architecture references and real life Cloud Computing, Mobile and SOA use cases. We will look at the strategic and practical implications you and your organization encounter as you roll out your Cloud and Mobile initiatives.


Architecting Your Delivery Platform for the API Economy

As enterprise architects meet the growing tide of API demand, where to now for the SOA infrastructures they have invested in over the past 5 years?

Companies and consumers around the world are being wired together via APIs. As enterprise architects prepare to meet the growing tide of API demand, where to now for the SOA infrastructures they have invested in over the past 5 years?  In this webinar, with Vordel and our guest speaker, Randy Heffner, Vice President and Principal Analyst with Forrester Research, Inc. we examine the evolution from SOA to API and outline how enterprise architects can leverage the investments they have made in SOA Application Gateways as part of a SOA infrastructure to ensure their organization efficiently delivers on the API strategy.

What you will learn:

  • Best practice reference architecture for API Delivery
  • How to leverage existing SOA infrastructure to manage API delivery
  • Identify challenges for securing and managing API delivery



The Expanding role of the Gateway in a Modern IT Architecture

Best practices for leveraging SOA and Cloud Services in a fast, secure and connected manner

Randy Heffner
Vice President,
Principal Analyst
Forrester Research, Inc.



Across today’s computing landscape, mobile computing, social networking, and Cloud computing open many new opportunities to create business value by creating new revenue channels, fostering tighter customer relationships, and reducing the cost of delivering products and services. Leveraging these new technologies demands a high level of application connectivity that extends far beyond enterprise boundaries, while still being fast, secured, and controlled. To meet the need, SOA gateways are expanding into application gateways, both in their feature-function and the scenarios they are being deployed. In this webinar, our guest speaker, Randy Heffner of Forrester Research, will examine the changing role of the Gateway in the evolving modern IT architecture, enabling organizations to robustly connect applications that can be quite literally anywhere. The webinar will review best practices for deploying Gateways to fulfill different roles as enterprises seek to:

  • Deploy Enterprise Applications Beyond The Network Perimeter
  • Consume Cloud Services Without Losing Control or Compromising Security
  • Secure All Application Connections Using Enterprise Security Infrastructure



Bridging Security from the Enterprise to the Cloud

Cloud computing presents significant value to organizations. However, the downside is that few organizations wish to trust third-parties with their corporate data. To address this, Vordel enables organizations to safely connect from the Enterprise to Cloud based services without undermining their underlying corporate security policies.

Webinar: Enabling Mobile Applications – Easily and Securely

The drive towards mobile applications has opened up questions of security. Mobile apps typically connect over the Internet to Web Services for their data, thus raising security concerns not only for the mobile application itself, but also the Web Services which it accesses for its data. How do organizations protect against attackers trying to reverse engineer or otherwise attack the mobile application, or attack the Web Services feeding it data? What if malicious mobile applications are placed in app "markets" and installed by unwary employees? What about attacks on the Web Services include data harvesting, eavesdropping on data, and denial-of-service

Die Deutsche Bausparkasse Badenia setzt für die Erfüllung ihrer Webservice Security Anforderungen bereits seit dem Jahr 2004 Produkte von Vordel ein. Inzwischen ist das Vordel XML Gateway zu einem zentralen Bestandteil der Anwendungssicherheit geworden, was zu einer guten Bewertung der Infrastruktur in mehreren Security Reviews führte. Im Webinar wird gezeigt, wie das XML Gateway in die bestehende Infrastrukturlandschaft integriert ist, und welche Policies für die Herstellung der Webservice Security konfiguriert wurden. Es wird anhand eines Beispiels aus der Praxis gezeigt, wie flexibel das Gateway an spezielle kundenspezifische Anforderungen angepasst werden kann.



Using REST to connect to iPhone apps and Facebook.


Case study leveraging REST APIs to scale a service business quickly and cost-effectively

Overview
Find out how Facebook Marketplace scaled their online gift code offering for Apple iTunes, Home Depot, Nordstrom, Starbucks and others using a best practice API model based on Amazon Web Services' API.

Doug Birch, Chief Architect at Safeway subsidiary Blackhawk Network and Vordel CTO, Mark O'Neill discuss how Blackhawk implemented an innovative solution to govern their services-based offering across a hybrid SOA and Cloud environment and avoided heavy integration and development costs. In this webinar, we learn why Blackhawk uses a REST API to connect to Facebook Marketplace, and how Vordel enables this connection.

Using Standards to Manage Access to SOA and Cloud Services


Fast, Secure and Standards-Based Polices for SOA and Cloud

In this Webinar, participants will learn how a Gateway and a Policy Server work together to apply policies to SOA and Cloud services. These policies control not only who accesses the services, but also when they access the services, how they use the services, and how the access control decision is made. This Webinar will describe a best practice framework that scales to high-volume usage and allows reuse of policies, promoting efficiency and reducing time-to-market and developments costs.
