bp303 empowering ics communities for socialbizug with ibm connections - ibm connect 2014
DESCRIPTION
IBM Connect 2014 - Socialbizug.org has evolved to provide a dynamic home for ICS communities and content. It was designed by WIS, hosted by Connectria, built by The Turtle Partnership and developed by The London Developer Co-Op on a combination of IBM Connections and IBM Domino. Attend to see how to pick the right pieces for a successful IBM Connections end user facing deployment. Take a behind the scenes look at the site, from the ground up. We will start from customer design requirements, including both anonymous and secured content. Then dig into server architecture design including the number of servers, staging areas and growth planning. Finally we'll talk about development decisions as well as server scaling and ease of management in our cloud model.TRANSCRIPT

THE CLOUD - WITH CHRIS MILLER, CONNECTRIA
Challenges - Responsive Site
With no idea of how many concurrent
users we would be hosting we wanted to
start small but with room for growth
Cognos required more resource than
anything else so was given a separate
server
The site was locked down to outside
access with all traffic going through IBM
HTTP Server
With Connectria hosting the servers we
can easily provision more memory or disk
on the fly
