This presentation describes the techniques for monitoring your data grid(s) throughout your software development lifecycle (pre-production and production). We will examine the measurements available from Coherence and what else should be considered. Let's understand how these measurements can help you prepare for successful deployments of Coherence data grids.
The following topics will be covered:
Preparing your grid environment for monitoring
Identify the fundamental metrics in each category of grid monitoring (system, jvm, health, performance, utilization, and capacity).
In addition to its Map based API, Coherence provides a rich API to allow for parallel querying of objects using arbitrary criteria. This session will explore various techniques for creating efficient and scalable queries with Coherence. Although the query API is simple from a developer point of view, writing queries that yield scalable performance requires upfront design. We will consider query patterns (and anti-patterns) and explore the tools Coherence provides to develop efficient and linearly scalable queries.
Come listen to battle stories about tackling challenges in real production environments with real customers (who lived happily ever after.) We will discuss Coherence operational best practices to avoid production issues and what to do if (when?) issues arise.
Organizations embracing Cloud Computing are quickly realizing how Data Grid technology can solve many of the challenges associated from running applications on distributed shared infrastructure across the globe.

Modern telco billing processing systems face huge challenges in the search to move from mostly offline, or batch, processing of billing events to handling huge volumes of events in near-real time. The challenges for an architect of such a system are: how to handle the high throughput processing of near real-time events with low latency while maintaining strict transactional semantics and provide high availability and scalability of the service.
We present our extreme transaction processing solution leveraging Oracle Coherence as an in-memory-data-grid (IMDG) which provides reliable messaging, data storage, and asynchronous write-back to RDBMS. The system follows the staged event driven architecture (SEDA) design pattern providing for a flexible and manageable design that is both highly available and scalable. We discuss lessons learned during performance tuning and profiling plus best practices that are applicable for any Coherence user. Read more on Taylor's blog.
JPA, the Java Persistence API, is the Java standard for relational database access. But as is the case for many technologies, scaling JPA applications into large clusters is a challenge. In this session we'll introduce Oracle TopLink's new "TopLink Grid" feature which supports scaling JPA applications through Coherence integration. We'll also introduce the new TopLink Grid enabled "JPA on the Grid" application architecture in which the underlying relational database is replaced by Coherence and all standard database operations, including JPQL query execution, are handled by Coherence. In this session we'll demo how easy it is to leverage Coherence from JPA using TopLink Grid and how to build standards compliant Java EE applications that scale.
This presentation will discuss some of the feature themes for the next set of Coherence Incubator releases planned for the end of January. We've done a lot of work since the first release of the Processing Pattern. In this talk we'll look at some of the changes and new features to enable "compute-grid" style development with Coherence.
Oracle Coherence provides many great features out of the box, but it also has a number of extension points. In this session I will provide an overview of Coherence Tools, a collection of Coherence extensions and utilities I created while working on the book and subsequently decided to open source for the benefit of the community.
We will look at things ranging from more powerful value extractors, to different ways to integrate Coherence and Spring, to utilities such as identity generator and cache loader. Best of all, because many of these use Coherence extension points you are already familiar with, you'll be able to use them as soon as you walk out of the meeting.
Today's enterprise requires reliable, scalable, and real-time access to mission-critical and constantly changing data. This session explores the benefits that Oracle Coherence, an in-memory data grid, can provide to traditional persistent storage. Oracle Coherence bridges the gap between horizontally scalable, low-latency in-memory access and persistent durable storage. This is the case with a relational database (with or without object-relational mapping), a mainframe, a Web service, or any other persistence mechanism. The presentation explores various caching patterns and techniques to scale both reads and writes in order to meet current and future user demand.
Networking is at the core of Oracle Coherence. All Coherence services sit atop TCMP, a UDP-based cluster protocol. The performance of your Coherence implementation depends on an optimized network infrastructure. This talk, from a Coherence architect, guides you through some of the key factors when tuning your network, and helps you understand how your choices interact with Coherence under the covers.
Oracle Coherence can be successfully used in a Microsoft Window and .NET Environment. It can be a excellent media for connecting .Net and Java applications. It can provide .NET applications with a caching solution in front of a database server. It can even be used to provide real-time data to the desktop clients. All with minimum or possible no java coding.
The presentation will go through requirements of setting up Coherence .NET Client. Go through use cases and point out some limitations. We will focus on general data caching, object serialization (through POF), event notifications and LINQ to coherence.
See Timur Fanshteyn's blog for sample files.
Coherence*Extend extends the reach of the core Coherence TCMP cluster to a wider range of consumers, including desktops, remote servers, C++/.Net clients and machines located across WAN connections.

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.

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.
As the lead engineer and contributor to the Coherence Management Framework, Everett (now working at sl.com) will present an inside view of the Coherence Management Framework, how it works, is put together, things you may not know about and how to use the JMX Reporter.
Using the Coherence API is relatively easy, but how your calls onto the API are measured and reported is something different all together. In this technical talk Tom outlines the underlying schematics of messages, requests and tasks, things that you commonly seen in JMX. He discussed what are they, why should you care and which ones are important, especially in a production system. Tom Lubinksi then explains how these metrics relate to the workings of the distributed cache service, the invocation service and entry processors. He will show you how to plot these metrics to literally "see" how Coherence is executing your code and using system resources. These insights can then help you tune and troubleshoot your data grid. Tom founded SL Corporation in 1983 and currently serves as the company's Founder and CTO. He has been instrumental in developing RTView, a real-time monitoring, analytics and visualization platform, as well as RTView Oracle Coherence Monitor and Viewer for the monitoring and management of Oracle Coherence data grids. Since founding the company, he has been involved in thousands of successful customer deployments of real-time visibility solutions. He has an immensely deep understanding of monitoring and managing distributed systems. He's an entertaining and talented speaker with a passion for technology. Not a talk to be missed.

If you're just starting with Coherence, this talk will be invaluable to help you build your deployment model.
Architects and operators of Coherence-based applications have a critical need to know how to best monitor, analyze, and optimize the performance of their applications. These performance management needs recur in many activities of the software lifecycle - from requirements analysis and architecture design, to load testing and HA testing, and especially during production operations. Analysis of production problems, in particular, requires constant and comprehensive collection of monitoring data, the approach to which must be established in advance. This talk will review the various facets of a best-practice performance management approach for Coherence-based applications, borne of first-hand experience in the Coherence user community.
Puts and gets, messages and requests, tasks and queues. What does it all mean in Coherence? How can you make sense of the hundreds of metrics exposed in Coherence mbeans? Why should you care?
Oracle Coherence is a high performance and scalable data grid technology. But is your code efficient and scalable? Tom Lubinski of SL Corp. will show you how Coherence under the microscope can provide answers for you.
Building scalable, highly-available applications that perform well is not an easy task. These features cannot be simply "bolted" onto an existing application - they have to be architected into it. Unfortunately, the things we need to do to achieve them are often in conflict with each other, and finding the right balance is crucial.
In this session we will discuss why scaling web applications is difficult and will look at some of solutions we have come up with in the past to deal with the issues involved. We will then look at how in-memory data grids can make our jobs easier by providing a solid architectural foundation to build our applications on top of.
If you are new to in-memory data grids, you are guaranteed to leave the presentation eager to learn more. However, even if you are already using one you will likely walk out with a few ideas on how to improve performance and scalability of your applications.
Come listen to battle stories about tackling challenges in real production environments with real customers (who lived happily ever after.) We will discuss Coherence operational best practices to avoid production issues and what to do if (when?) issues arise.
