Title:

WebSphere Portfolio Enterprise Infrastructure

Stream:

Architecture SIG (4)

Speakers:

Colin Renouf

Abstract:

This session essentially covers main areas. Firstly, it looks at what differentiates an enterprise infrastructure architecture from a non-enterprise infrastructure architecture and how to migrate from isolated pools of infrastructure running some WebSphere products to something that is planned and controlled as a whole. To enable this it looks at an approach to understanding the business context for the enterprise processes and how this can be used to 'group' pools of functionality together as the starting point of simplification. Business and application architecture are used to drive this. \n<br><br>\nThe second section looks at the enterprise level infrastructure architecture WebSphere components and how to best exploit them in a joined up manner.
