| Scalable Apps on the Cloud - With Amazon and BazuMedia Date: July 22, 2008 Video Duration: 01:16:37 The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a revolutionary computing utility that enables adding and removing compute resources on-demand, with the benefit of only paying for the hardware and software resources needed, when they are needed. But there is a challenge: how do you develop and deploy reliable transactional and data-intensive applications to take advantage of these capabilities? Jeff Barr of Amazon Web Services, Ilya Sterin from BazuMedia Inc (a GigaSpaces EC2 customer) and the GigaSpaces team present how a pay-per-usage, linearly scalable approach can be implemented for even the most demanding applications. This recording includes a live demo of Scaling applications on GigaSpaces and EC2. This video is supported on windows media player only. In order to view it, you need to download a codec.

| Keynote: Getting Ready for the Cloud Date: June 27, 2008 Video Duration: 00:43:30 With the transition to online services, unexpected peak loads can lead to system failure, loss of data, performance issues and more. Cloud computing aims to address these challenges by providing on-demand compute resources; However, current infrastructure of existing applications was not built for such flexible environments. In this keynote session by Nati Shalom (CTO and founder of GigaSpaces), you will learn how to transition your applications to run on the Cloud without needing to completely re-architect them. Included is a 10-minute demo on turning an existing tier-based application into a tierless scaled out application running on the EC2 Cloud. |
| Q&A session about GigaSpaces and the OpenSpaces Developer Challenge Date: June 27, 2008 Video Duration: 00:28:41 In this session, Shay Banon, System Architect at GigaSpaces, and Jason Carrier (winner - 3rd place - of the OpenSpaces Developer Challenge) participate in a Q&A session about GigaSpaces and about the OpenSpaces Developer Challenger |
| Best Practices for Developing Scalable Web 2.0 Applications Date: June 27, 2008 Video Duration: 00:23:41 In this demo, Uri Cohen, Product Manager at GigaSpaces, shows you the power of GigaSpaces' scaling, hot failover and self-healing capabilities. A sample Web application which uses Spring MVC and contains an AJAX web front-end and a GigaSpaces' backend is scaled out. He first deploys and runs the GigaSpaces' backend on a single laptop and then on multiple machines on Amazon EC2, without changing a single line of code. |
| Making Scalability a Part of Your Java Application Architecture Date: June 25, 2008 Video Duration: 00:24:36 In this webcast, Geva Perry (CMO at GigaSpaces) and Nati Shalom (CTO at GigaSpaces) detail methods for achieving improved performance and scalability from a Java application. They discuss the evolution of applications and the impact this evolution has had on the meaning of scalability. Explore references to several cases in which organizations were able to achieve greater flexibility from their underlying architecture and overcome several API issues. Learn why an application must be able to invoke or execute business logic at different points in time and gain insight into why JVMs are no longer critical for improved application performance. |  |
| Three steps for turning a tier-based/Spring-application into dynamically scalable services Date: February 21, 2008 Video Duration: 01:00:24 In this presentation, a three steps approach for turning your existing stateful tier-based/Spring-application into a dynamically scalable services application using OpenSpaces is demonstrated. The existing programming model is kept the same while focusing on abstracting and replacing the underlying implementations of the middleware stack in a way that will fit the scale-out model. | .jpg) |
| Owen Taylor on GigaSpaces and Linear Scalability Date: February 13, 2008 Video Duration: 05:20 Join Owen Taylor as he discusses the value of the GigaSpacesXAP platform and the architectural patterns it encourages. Owen speaks briefly about the possibility of linearly scaling stateful applications across commodity hardware using two complementary strategies: Partitioning and Collocation. |
| Improving Application Performance: Methods for Achieving Greater Scalability Date: December 12, 2007 Video Duration: 41:51 This Techtalk explores methodologies for achieving optimal application scalability. You will discover how to enhance scalability and performance of both the data tier and the entire application. Learn how to identify and protect your applications from common scalability problems, such as latency, slow response times and limited throughput, which can severely limit application performance. Explore how to write additional code in a transparent manner, limiting the negative impacts on application efficiency. (hosted by theserverside.com - registration to TSS is required). |  |
| GigaSpaces Enterprise Data Grid and Excel Server Date: December 3, 2007 Video Duration: 29:46 Nati Shalom speaks about the the GigaSpaces Enterprise Data Grid and how it is integrated with Excel, at the annual event of the Israeli Association of Grid Technologies. |
| Penta Systems Date: November 7, 2007 Video Duration: 03:44 Penta Systems launches GigaSpaces in South Korea |
