Splice Machine Digital Transformation 2.0 white paperSyed Mahmood
This document discusses the evolution of digital transformation. Digital Transformation 1.0 involved automating manual processes and moving operations online. While cloud migration provided agility, true transformation requires modernizing applications to leverage new data sources and intelligence. Digital Transformation 2.0 requires transitioning from systems of record to systems of signals that can analyze real-time data using AI/ML. For companies to realize the benefits of DX 2.0, all applications must be modernized to ingest diverse data sources and embed intelligence. Approaches like lambda architecture are too complex, requiring specialized skills and loose coupling between systems. True transformation is achieved by modernizing applications themselves.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

6. Federated Identity Management
• Business context and WIND target customers
> Identity management systems (or IdM )are already in place at almost any mid-sized and enterprise
company.
> Such companies are often running more than one IdM due to B.U. Mergers, company acquisitions, inter-
company partnerships agreements and/or IT legacy architectures.
> What is missing now, is the capability to merge such IdM systems in a non-expensive and secure
manner in order to streamline authentication processes, optimize working time of employees and reduce
IT costs.
> FIM ( Federated Identity Management ) is suitable for an ASP-like offering to Enterprises and Medium-
Enteprises that are already running own-managed IdM services and/or that are not equipped with any
IdM solution.
• Value Proposition
> Addressing identity management systems proliferation that enterprises are facing by proposing a WIND-
hosted identity federation solution.
> Bundling with complete IdM solution delivery and/or replacement of current IdM service , if any

• Service Use Case
> Situation: A n enterprise (Company “A”) wants to empower
employees to interact directly with the company to which it
outsource its HR operations. The goal is to streamline
enterprise operations while giving employees a quick and
easy way to get HR information anytime they need it.
> Problem: Because of the inherent
sensitivity of HR information —
including compensation
history, performance reviews paycheck
status, and so forth — the company A needs
an SSO solution that would not only make it
easy to access that information online, but
also that would make it secure to do so. Company A and
Outsourcing HR company uses completely different IdM
solutions and are not able to directly communicate each
other.
> Solution: WIND deploys a Sun standards-based federated
identity management system hosted in its service center.to
enable convenient, secure, employee access to HR
information ( without changing itsw own Corporate Identity
management system ).The standards-driven deployment of
the Sun F.I.M. established the common federation
infrastructure based on standard protocols.The EU privacy-
enabled technology of Sun software protects WIND and its
customers by any security threats.
HR Outsourced ap
Company “A” employee needs to access a HR
application located outside and after registering himself
to corporate intranet, issue a web-authentication on his
corporate IdM systems, that is federated with Company
hosting HR applications through WIND service center
and select st the HR application link
The request is processed by
Federation Manager hosted
at WIND service center, that
after few checkings with HR
Outsourcing company IdM,
authorize Company A
employee to access the
requested HR application
without register again and/or
interacting with another
Identity service and/or leave

9. On-demand Datawarehouse
• Business context and WIND target customers
> Datawarehousing systems are complex, cost-intensive applications that are usually bound to critical business
processes of several Enterprises ( i.e. Marketing, sales analysis...etc...)
> The price to pay for a good DW infrastructure is high in terms of hardware, software, services and TCO
> What is missing now is the offering of a low-cost, fast-responsive, modular Outsourced Datawarehouse to be
accessed through standard IP network connectivity and pre-existing business intelligence applications by
Enterprise customers
> Greenplum DW appliance is suitable for a WIND-hosted datawarehouse modular service that can in turn
evolve as the customer's business grows and keep WIND safe from the major investments needed for
traditional datawarehouse systems
> Target customers are addressed by specific Industry-tailored versions of Sun/Greenplum DW appliance:
Retail, Transportation, Government, Financial Services, Manufacturing ,Web 2.0 companies and MVNO Wind
partners
• Value Proposition
> Addressing high-quality business data analysis requirements of quite every quite Enterprise at the lowest cost
available on market of ASP/Outsourcing servicrs
> Bundling with other data-management offerings ( i.e. Data Vault, Hosted Backup, Disaster recovery...ecc..)
> Bundling with connectivity offerings from WIND portfolio
• Advantages to WIND customers
> Reduced costs
> Enhanced business agility
> Reduced time to market products and services
10. On-demand Datawarehouse
• Service Use Case
> Situation: A Enterprise company has invested in
business intelligence and ETL applications that
are now its legacy systems for business
analysis. The company is planning to upgrade
the underlying datawarehouse to host the new
market data collected by transactional systems
and is relying on such data to launch new
marketing campaigns.
> Problem: The cost of DW upgrade is quite high
and the business case is lacking the necessary
cost/benefits right value to get approved.
> Solution: WIND deploys a Sun/Greenplum
datawarehouse modular stack ( starting from
one single “brick” unit ) in its service center. The
customer doesn't have to change anything in its
business intelligence or ETL products since
they'll interact with Sun/Greenplum without any
integration problems. WIND will also sell
professional services and consultancy to help
customer to gradually migrate data over new
outsourced infrastructure ( run by Greenplum, if

12. Hosted Video Surveillance
Business context
> There is an ever-increasing importance for digital video surveillance in the world today across all industries. Customers
are concerned with improving security by addressing specific problems such as compliance with mitigating theft and
assault on public transportation, defending lawsuits in retail stores, monitoring oil, gas and nuclear installations, and
providing an improved sense of safety and security in public places.
> It is not always practical to monitor security with 24x7 human coverage, so video surveillance can provide an effective
alternative. Video surveillance can be used to monitor large areas at a fraction of the cost of human coverage and the
ability to playback video to review or analyse suspicious activities can provide a new level of protection.
> To meet the growing need to monitor more
people, places, and things, customers are
deploying additional video cameras and will
require more sophisticated features in video
surveillance solutions that utilize cost effective
IP camera and networking technologies.
Features such as remote access, a user-
friendly Web-based interface, advanced
playback and management, longer retention
periods, and high quality digital images can
help customers more effectively and efficiently
monitor the security of their environment
> The high demand for video surveillance and the
increasing need to support more cameras is
also driving a requirement for Hosted or
Outsourced Video Surveillance Service through
ISP integrated offering.
13. Hosted Video Surveillance
• Business context
> The increasing importance of collecting security events( Theft, Legal Cases, Counter,Terrorism, Staff Safety )
by the mean of ISP managed services is increasingly moving toward B$-level of estimated revenues ( see
estimations within chart below )
> Value Proposition
> Addressing video-surveillance requirements
with converged ( network and video )
solution capable of collecting, searching
and retaining security informations and
provide outsourced services to customers
> Advantages to WIND customers
> Focus on security compliance services rather
than in infrastructure deployment and
maintenance
> Access to SLA-managed service to guarantee
security high-standards
> Cost savings
15. Hosted Video Surveillance
• Service Use Case
> Situation: A Enterprise company needs to monitor the security of its facilities/environment, safeguard its
data, and protect employees. To do that the company wants to monitor multiple facilities from a single
remote location and quickly search and review historical video data to identify suspicious activities or
events of interest.
> Problem: The videosurveillance
traditional solutions are highly
expensive. The target solution
should lower the costs of
surveillance and at the same
time deliver exceptionally high
storage capacity and data
throughput to enable longer data
retention periods and greater
scalability in terms of number of
cameras.
Service Center
> Solution: WIND deploys the
Sun/Ipconfigure Surveillance
Appliance within its service center to
offer IP Video Surveillance as hosted
service. Sun appliance is about 1/3
less then the cost of traditional
surveillance solutions and guarantees
high storage density and lower costs,

17. Router Management Advanced
Contact Center
• Business context
> Today's router management network services are based on standard fault, performance,
security and configuration management software platforms that customer contact center
operators are using to support corporate customers
> Customer contact center operators are spending more time in authenticating, logging in,
administering and navigating management software platforms or solving problems over
the phone, than the time they should spend in proposing solutions and up-selling options
to customers
> To leverage on professional skills of customer contact center operators and to increase
the business opportunities bound to router management offerings, a “intelligent” self-
service web contact center is needed, in order to:
− Decrease the time operators are spending in time-consuming operations ( such as
authenticate each time on each network management system they need to use ) or in
long-time support calls
− Increase the time operators can spend in analyzing the network design of a given
customer and work with engineering in proposing network optimizations or link upgrades
or whatever is needed to up-sell
18. > Value Proposition
> Monetize Router Management Offering :Providing a captive interface to corporate customers, that can access a
customized web environment specifically designed to process and present their favourite reports and
statistics,correlate their alarms summaries, historically displays their tickets and provide an advanced
collaboration environment where they co-browse and video-interact with customer operation s center in a new way
> Efficence increasing of router management processes: Providing a streamlined unified web-interface to
customer center operators by the mean of which they can rapidly access to network management applications
using a single-sign-on system and then displays all the applications presentation layer informations in a single
window
− Such web environment, is built upon a multimedia web-portal, where embedded rich-media applications are
integrated with a customer-queryable knowledge base that encompasses the “issues history” of the customers as
well as a list of HOW-TOs provided by operaror's experience
> Advantages to WIND customers
> Saving Time and reducing outages: by accessing a single-point-of contact web environment where they can easily find
solutions to their problems even before opening a ticket to customer operation center
> Increasing business:customers can access to a “consolidated” view of their networks where “at-a-glance” informations
are provided so they can easily spot useful business informations ( i.e. For Finance customers, understanding where
ATMs are properly working and how those impacts the related cash-operations of the subsidiaries )
> Accessing new IT tools: the web environment is providing new multimedia tools such as Video-call and/or co-browsing
and other collaboration tools
> Target WIND customers
> Any customer already accessing router management service and/or connectivity-only offerings from WIND
Router Management Advanced
Contact Center
19. You're chatting with
Maria
• Service Use Case
> The multimedia contact center applications is based on a
web portal incorporating Audio/Video SIP or H323
applications
> The web portal sits on top of network management
presentation layers and is able to collect informations from
them by the mean of standard HTTP requests
> Collected informations are aggregated in a simple and
easy-to-read web composite page, where faults,
performance reports, tickets and configurations
informations can be displayed together on a customer-id
basis or according to other criteria
> The access to the portal is guaranteed by a single-sign-on
application that at the same time provides the access to
the underlying network management applications – a
single sign-in operation instead of dozens every working
day
> Depending on the user profile, the web portal can display
a “operations personnel view” or a “customer view” with all
the necessary degrees of information grant access
granularity
> A customer could access the “customer view” to know about his own network and can access a knowledge base that reports several “hints”
to help the customer to identify the cause of a failure before calling the customer center. The customer could also access to multimedia
functionalities to read news about new WIND offerings, to chat with an operator, to read mail and/or to use multimedia collaboration tools.
Once the customer needs to get in touch with an operator could open a VoiP call and/or a co-browsing request to get help support from
WIND. The customer could also subscribe to an alerting service that can deliver message through WIND sms and mms systems in order to
notify about ticket status and sales offerings.
> An operator can save time accessing the “operations personnel view” and drill down the issues having, from the very first moment of his
investigation, all the required informations available at a glance and can immediately work on any open ticket and/or customer request while
is able to open a context-aware conversation with the customer
> WIND can offer the “Router Management Advanced Contact Center” as an hosted application service, fully integrated with current network
management applications and bundle such service with connectivity offerings

31. Secure Turbo Web Access
• Business context
> In today's internet and private connectivity business, web access speed is not only due to bandwidth
availability but relies on additional infrastructure services such as DNS ( Domain name Service – the
application service that resolve a web address into an ip address )
> DNS is a critical element of any networking offer from any ISP because users (whether they are
business or consumers ) do not distinguish network performance from DNS and in fact:
− A slow DNS is perceived as ‘a slow network’ by the customer
− If DNS goes down, ‘the network is down’ from customer perspective
> Due to the above facts, a high-quality ip connection could often miss the subscribed SLAs and get the
ISP to pay for lacking of performance ( or worse, got sued for that reason )
> Moreover, standard DNS is a well-known avenue of attack:
− Many CERT advisories about DNS
− Server as well as resolver vulnerabilities are continuously discovered
− BIND on SANS/FBI list of Top 20 vulnerabilities
> That implicit in-security of standard DNS could lead to more SLAs controversy and lawsuit
> Besides bad performance and security issues, traditional DNS doesn't protects ISPs against revenue loss
due to web connection hijacks and redirects -
− Given a typo in a web address, browsers hijacks connections ( i.e. Miicrosoft IE)
− Toolbars (Yahoo, Google) hijack and redirect to their search pages
− Google takes control of users (network level error page redirect)
− Malware may hijack before browser / toolbars and redirect to bad sites
32. > Value Proposition
> Sun/Nominum ANS/CNS high-performance DNS can improve WIND customer experience
and boost internet access speed without impacting on current WIND IP or Transimission
networks. Sun solution can also transform wrong site name redirections into web hits for
WIND websites ( or WIND partner websites ) thus increasing business due to ad-exchange
> As result, WIND can sell a new Internet access profile for consumers and corporate
customers that , differently from traditional traffic prioritization and shaping, let the customers
surf the internet at a higher speed and get more revenues from advertising messages
managed by DNS-based web redirection

43. • Business context
> MVNO business is challeging both in terms of expected revenues and in terms of required
start-up infrastructure investments
> An Operator entering the MVNO business is facing a re-organization of its BSS environment
( CRM , Billing ) and of its carrier-interconnection environment ( GGSN, SCP ). Common
Operator's choices to implement the new environments are:
− building a dedicated BSS and Interconnection infrastructure based upon new hardware and
software
− virtualizing its own BSS and Interconnection infrastructure to serve the new customers and
to access to new network resources simply upgrading the existing hardware and software
− Accessing to external MVNE service centers where new BSS and Interconnection
infrastructure are available
> A new choice is available from Sun to lower the initial costs of any MVNO infrastructure and to
guarantee business target achievement of the initiative
• Value proposition - I
> For BSS side of MVNO : A fully-localized open-source converged application stack that
encompasses all the enterprise modules required by the BSS side on a MVNO architecture
and supported by a officially recognized vendor to guarantee the required SLAs the customer
requires

Notes de l'éditeur
So how does all this network growth and opportunity affect Sun. And you can it affect you ..
As pervasive networks, new business models, and near-universal access from anywhere at any time become a reality, so the demand for network services is exploding. This creates demand for Sun infrastructure that we capitalize on through applying our innovation to the IT challenges our customers face.
In other words, Sun’s growth is driven by the adoption of networks by government and industry, such as the Internet and global telecommunications.
More specifically, it is driven by the adoption of our core developer platforms: the Java platform and the Solaris OS. More Java technology-driven devices means more demand for what Sun builds. More Solaris OS licenses means more doors opened for our sales force and our partners.
