SYS-ED® to
The Next Frontier
 

State of the Technology
The past twenty years have brought an immense proliferation of computer hardware and software technology for business enterprise and technology driven individuals on a global level. Most devices became obsolete within a five year cycle. What has been left in place are hundreds of millions of workstations, a significant percentage of which could be categorized as intelligent - initially DOS driven (a relatively small number still are thin clients), primarily Microsoft Windows, and UNIX variant driven machines that are networked and connected to the Internet. There is an emerging wireless infrastructure in the public domain used by large IT driven organizations - Fortune 1000 corporations, government municipalities, healthcare providers and consulting companies. With an ever increasing number and variety of reliable high speed connections, IP addresses readily available via DHCP (and with IPV6 well on the way), and being utilized through multiple workstations in small business enterprise and households as well as large business enterprise, the foundation for a web server in every business and home and an IP address assigned along with a social security number at birth may well be next. It is the onset of the age of the web server.

Why SYS-ED

Web Server Software
An application server is a network-based software engine that delivers applications on a variety of client devices. Unlike the client/server model, the application server executes most of the application business logic; it does not require client software to be installed on the access device. The application server environment is an efficient and flexible means for delivering applications. The major commercial vendors, as well as the open source providers, support the J2EE and web services standards. The specific revision supported by a given server may vary, but competitive forces in the market inevitably mandate that all the offerings support the latest industry standards.

Application servers are a strategic cog in creating SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture. They operate at the middleware layer and when based on industry standards promote interoperability and access to cloud computing. The sharing of a common architectural model provides for reasonably smooth growth even when the underlying platform is different from the legacy hardware. More specifically, the addition of new capabilities such as application edition management, dynamic workload management, and virtualization can be more readily implemented when the application server environment is based upon a consistent architecture.

Few organizational enterprises have a homogeneous software environment. Accordingly, there is a requirement for coexistence between the existing and emerging new information technology infrastructures. Organizational enterprise will need to plan for and integrate commercial and open source application servers. At the current time, the most widely used applications servers in commercial use are IBM Corporation's WAS: WebSphere Application Server and Oracle Corporation's WLS: WebLogic Server and Oracle Application Server. The best known open source application server projects are Apache Geronimo, Glassfish Application Server, and JBoss Application Server. Each of these projects has an association with a proprietary web server.

There are still components of the emerging web server equation which have to be determined; such as whether there will be a a dominant proprietary scalable database or long term interoperability among - DB2 UDB, Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, and MySQL

The xfactor in the short run, which is holding everything up, is the requirement for security and data integrity. Web servers are the emerging IT frontier. Web server technology and the state of the evolving market is being driven by increases in bandwidth and internetworking reliability and new hardware. It is being implemented by those organizations who have invested in the technological infrastructure and have the resources to make web servers an operational reality. However, as has been the case over the past century, the dispersion of technology will eventually become available to those individuals “in the know.”


Web Servers and SYS-ED
When it comes to installing, administering, writing code, and optimizing web server performance, SYS-ED has a unique set of resources to draw upon. Our system consultants average 30+ years in interrelated information technology (it was known as data processing when we started!), and our collective experience includes hands-on consultancy assignments on the major web server platforms, most of the time starting with the initial release of the software and the implementation performed in hybrid environments.

SYS-ED has been there done that experience with:

WebSphere WebLogic Oracle UNIX

SYS-ED's staff of system consultants have been evaluating published benchmarks and white papers in relation to our grass roots experience at client locations. We have worked with each of the major proprietary and open source J2EE-compliant application servers since their initial release. Purposeful and scientific analysis has been applied to tracking the evolution of the J2EE specification and level of J2EE compliance being brought to market. Although the underlying functionality of J2EE application servers are comparable, proprietary and open source web servers typically offer their own combination of additional middleware technology. In many situations, they also provide complementary products and services beyond the core application server. Our web server and application development courses teach industry standard content and consultancy derived subject matter: examples, sample programs, and tailored exercises. Equally as important, we apply our expertise in interrelated information technology to web servers and SOA: legacy programming languages, enterprise databases, and IBM middleware and system software. Our courses reflect updates in technology and the mergers and consolidation among the major players in the industry. SYS-ED also has two technology exchange websites support which support Microsoft .NET - www.dotnettrainingbysysed.us and msnetworkstrainingbysysed.us.

Innovators and Emulators: The Case for Training
The classic business model is based upon a fundamental assumption that ongoing organizational entities can be classified as either innovators and emulators. Over the past few years, the innovators, and SYS-ED is one of them, have been out in full force upgrading hardware, increasing bandwidth, installing the initial releases of the web server software, coding and debugging web enabled applications, primarily Java and propriety development platforms, such as WebSphere or Microsoft .NET as part of implementing a full featureset of web server functionality. We refer to our hard earned knowledge and mastery of challenging and problematic application development as consultant’s swagger. The results have been promising and a wide variety of issues and problems have been addressed along the way. It is this real world experience, guidelines for what truly works in practice (versus what the source software vendors documentation states), undocumented tips, and practical troubleshooting which makes SYS-ED’s instructor-led courses among the best in the IT field. Next up will be the emulators and there will be substantial numbers of business organizations and technology-driven people who will require web server training. SYS-ED is front and center with courses which teach web server fundamentals, administration, databases, middleware, development platforms and utilities. Few software or consulting companies offer both the integrated programs and a la carte unbiased professional web server training options that we do. And truth be told the software companies frequently call on SYS-ED to deliver the tough training assignment to their clients.

Programmatic Implementation

Microsoft and Hybrid Application Development
There currently is no single standard for the programmatic implementation of web server capabilities. Nor is there a dominant proprietary standard. Both open source and proprietary software are being utilized in different hybrid combinations with one another.

Some common scenarios that we have been implementing at client locations include:

In addition to WIMP, WAMP, and LAMP, SYS-ED staff and technology partners have been involved with and experiencing a significant increase in scripting with Microsoft PowerShell and open source Korn shell and Perl.


J2EE and Java Application Development
Open source Java and proprietary WebSphere, Oracle, and WebLogic development platforms have by design been built upon and integrated with the J2EE standard. Accordingly, since 2007, we have observed a significant increase in web server application development based upon web server compliance with J2EE and Java specifications.

In our opinion, the major reasons for this having occurred has been:

Web Services and Service Oriented Architecture Standards Compliance
Assumption Benefit
A fundamental tenet of SOA and network-based applications is the leverage and reuse of applications and business logic across the enterprise. This can be realized through the utilization of the uniform industry standards.
 
Common Architectural Model
Assumption Benefit
As an organization’s scale and needs change overtime, it will be necessary to migrate and redeploy applications on different physical hardware with minimal effort and disruption. Sharing a common architecture, facilitates the migration of web server applications.
 
Better Utilization of IT Staff
Assumption Benefit
A standardized application architecture, provides for an efficient utilization of information technology staff The standardized application architecture will make development and maintenance of network applications easier and less expensive.
 
Application Infrastructure Virtualization
Assumption Benefit
The J2EE standard affords organizations with the opportunity to achieve a comprehensive level of virtualization: server, storage, networking, and application. The dynamic allocation of application infrastructure results in a better utilization of existing hardware and application servers, reduces energy requirements, and minimizes expenditures on additional hardware and software.

Learning Paths
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED course, without a consultation with our Director of Education.  We review the project specifications and the operational objectives for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training.  The employee is only allowed to register if they have the appropriate background corresponding to the correct learning path.
