Managing an Enterprise Class Hybrid Architecture
Sep 08, 2014
Datapipe’s Director of Compliant Solutions, Mark Fuqua, will lead a conversation with Shane Shelton, McGraw Hill Education’s Senior Director of Application Performance and Development Operations, and Datapipe Solution Architects around the steps taken to deliver an end-to-end hybrid infrastructure. This session will cover the issues faced, problems solved, services implemented, and approach used in deploying a holistic hybrid it solution for McGraw Hill Education.
The discussion will center around achieving visibility into both AWS and traditional infrastructure through an integrated managed solution encompassing thousands of instances, direct connect, highly available oracle database components, and governance controls around the entire
environment.
At this scale, simple changes can have a significant impact to an overall environment, having drastic effects on the integrity, security, and costs of solution. We will cover the change control, intrusion detection services, log management, and analytics platform used to secure and manage this environment.
