Presentation Abstracts
Oracle Coherence 3.5 Sneak Peak
Cameron Purdy (speaker bio) Vice President of Development (Oracle)
This presentation will discuss how Coherence "started", what we are doing today with Coherence and what is planned for the future of Oracle Coherence. The Coherence 3.5 release is only a matter of months away. In this presentation we'll dive into some of the core improvements and new features.
Coherence*Web: Integration with WebLogic Server & WebLogic Portal
Peter Utzschneider (speaker bio) Peter Utzschneider, Senior Director of Product Management (Oracle)
This presentation will provide a technical overview of  the new features, improvements, and bug fixes in Coherence 3.4.2, including Coherence*Web native integration with WebLogic Server and WebLogic Portal, bringing all the benefits of Coherence HTTP session state management without the need for any code changes and native Coherence integration with WLP P13N Cache - with 3.4.2, Portal users can now drop in Coherence as a scale out alternative to the P13N cache without having to make any code changes.
Scaling Software as a Service (SaaS) with Oracle Coherence
Ted Rice (speaker bio) Manager of Infrastructure Development (NetSuite)
In order to create a commercially viable Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, the SaaS system design must be scalable, reliable, and serviceable. A myopic design can limit the the system's ability to add customers, result in a poor user experience, or make growth an expensive proposition. Since its founding in 1998, NetSuite's SaaS platform has grown to handle hundreds of millions of transactions per day. NetSuite uses Coherence in the middle tier, thereby reducing database workload, decreasing application server memory requirements, and simplifying cache design. Ted will describe NetSuite's design, explain the problems NetSuite faced prior to adopting Coherence, and show how Coherence allowed NetSuite to scale core services without sacrificing reliability or performance.
The Future of Application Servers
Ha Hildebrand (speaker bio) Architect (Oracle)
The application server market is rapidly moving from monolithic to targeted solutions where end users have more control over how their systems are provisioned and configured. Coherence and OSGi are important technologies for creating these targeted solutions. Oracle is building on both Coherence and OSGi to lay the foundation for their next generation application server. This session will provide a behind the scenes look at the challenges and future results of this work.
