Only a few weeks left before we all get together in New Orleans or Madrid for TechEd 2013! Our ARC track
presenters are busy building great presentations and eye-popping demos that are going to have leap out of your seats and yell for more. We on the ARC track team know that you have a limited amount of time to get all you want to do in during the TechEd week, so we’ll be humbled to have you join us for one or more of our sessions. There’s even a chance that you’ll win a book or two when you attend an ARC track presentation.
Today I’d like to share with you what I consider to be our keynote session for the Architecture track. This
session, Demystifying Devices and Services is going to knock the ball right out the park! Why? Because it ties in the key discussion points you’ll hear about in all the sessions at TechEd – modern datacenter, big data, people centric applications and modern apps. Is the “cloud” a mystery to you now? If so, come to Uli’s session and be DE-mystified!
Here’s some information about Uli and more information about his presentation. Enjoy! –Tom.

Presentation Title: Demystifying Devices and Services (ATC-B206)
Presenter: Ulrich Homann
Duration: 75 mins
Format: Breakout session
We're living in a new world of devices and services due to a flood of new types of devices connecting to services in ways never before imagined. How do four pillars of moderns applications, big data, people centric IT, and the modern data center come together to support these new devices and services? This session focuses on how you bring together these key pillars by using technologies included in the cloud OS. This session covers the architectural underpinnings that will help you see how these four pillars drive the technology decisions that unlock the power of today's devices and services. Hard hitting demos light up the architectural concepts by showing you key patterns in action.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
HTH,
Tom
