Shay Banon, GigaSpaces' Director of Technology will talk at the upcoming QCon event on March 11.

 QCon is a well known enterprise software development conference designed for team leads, architects and project management. QCon provides opportunities for learning, networking, and tracking innovation occurring in the Java, .NET, Ruby, SOA, Agile, and architecture communities.

 Shay will give his presentation "Beyond the Data Grid - Designing for Actor Model, Social Networks, Scalable Search" on 4:30pm at the Wordsworth Room. In this session, Shay will discuss what's next for systems based on data grid technology. Data grids are most commonly used for pure data caching, but data grid solutions have made substantial progress and are capable of delivering much more. Shay will explore major advancements in this area and will provide design principles for implementing an Erlang-style Actor model, a scalable search engine (using Lucene), and complex data retrieval for social networks (e.g. finding friends of friends on Facebook).

Shay will also participate in the Performance and Scalability panel discussion that will take place On March 11, 10:30am at the Wordsworth Room

Nati Shalom, GigaSpaces' CTO, will present at the Java Symposium on March 18, at 10:20am.

TheServerSide Java Symposium is a community-created and community-driven enterprise Java event. The Java Symposium is an intensive educational experience that catches you up on essential development technologies, gives you expert insight into today's most relevant frameworks, and teaches you practical, real world ways to architect, develop, and maintain effective Java-based applications and systems.

Nati's presentation, "Elastic Data on the Cloud - Hype or Reality?" will review the challenges and patterns for managing the large data sets in the cloud: When it comes to cloud computing, no one has entirely sorted out what’s hype and what isn’t. While the future of the cloud stack is still "cloudy", it is clear that every cloud application will need to handle exponential growth of data. Tackling Big Data will determine the winners and losers in the next wave of cloud computing innovation.

Nati's presentation will show you how to:

• Enable on-demand scaling of your data services while your application is still running, ensuring no data loss

• Leverage major cloud computing trends, including NoSQL (No Relational Data Store) and the emergence of the new distributed key/value store alternatives in the market

• Understand how this new data store model imposes changes to the way you design your applications (No Joins, No Complex tables, and more).

GigaSpaces' CTO, Nati Shalom, will hold a presentation on the Cloud Slam 10' virtual conference.

The Cloud Slam Conference series is a global cloud computing event, covering the latest trends and innovations in the world of cloud computing. This conference will take place on April.

Nati's presentation, "SaaS enabling your application", revolves around SaaS which represents a new model for delivering software products on an on-demand or pay-per-use basis, without the overhead associated with installing your product on-premises. Cloud Computing provides a platform for delivering SaaS products. In this discussion we will cover the challenges involved in migrating existing applications that were not deigned to run in an on-demand environment, and migrating them to a SaaS model. We will suggest practical steps to overcome those challenges based on our specific experience with an application offered by Amdocs, a global provider of billing software.
