Designing Hybrid & Cloud Integration Solutions with Windows Azure

Designing modern integration solutions that span on-premises, hybrid & cloud platforms requires a new way of thinking about solution architecture, software development, deployment and operational management.

To help you on this journey Mexia has partnered with world-renown Cloud Architect Richard Seroter to deliver a 2 day solution architecture training event, focussed exclusively on designing hybrid & cloud solution architectures with Microsoft technologies such as Windows Azure.

Specifically designed for Solution Architects, Integration Architects and experienced Microsoft development teams, this two day event will cover much of the knowledge you need when designing complex integration platforms for the modern enterprise.

REGISTER MELBOURNE 19-20th JUNE 2013

REGISTER BRISBANE 17-18th JUNE 2013

Running over two days, Richard Seroter and Mexia’s expert integration consultants will take attendees through the range of design goals, issues, trade-offs and complexities with building modern integration platforms that can span on-premises, hybrid cloud and pure cloud deployments. Attendees will also be invited to collaboratively design solutions based on real-world scenarios presented encompassing a comprehensive range of functional and non-functional considerations.

This event will also discuss the full range of Microsoft technologies such as Windows Azure and BizTalk Server that can be deployed as part of modern on-premises, hybrid cloud and pure cloud integration solutions. By attending this event, you will understand the capabilities and benefits of each Microsoft technology, and which technologies are most appropriate for particular purposes and design goals.

Why Should I Attend?

Do you need to integrate your line of business systems so they seamlessly support your business processes? Do you have lots of business systems that don’t talk to one another forcing you to double-handle information? Would you like to shield your existing applications from changes whilst new systems are being implemented?

If yes, then you should consider implementing Microsoft BizTalk Server inside your organisation. Microsoft BizTalk Server helps organizations meet the challenges of integrating diverse systems. Most organizations have a multitude of systems and technologies that are required for their daily operations. By bringing together these technologies in agile and scalable way, BizTalk can help unleash the potential of your existing infrastructure.
