CMDBuild is an open source web application, now licensed under the AGPL, for the management of IT Governance in accordance with ITIL best practices, intended as “assets” control (servers, clients, network, applications and services.). CMDBuild is a support tool for the management of IT processes and as synchronization of data with other systems and databases.

The new version includes:

• the possibility of saving and reusing the search filters
• implementation of the new view system (both based on search filters and on SQL queries)
• definition of access permissions on rows and columns, useful to differentiate the access to data with “multiseat” or “multiclient” criteria
• lock implementation when modifying data cards
• bug fixing

CMDBuild 2.1 includes the complete rewrite of the DAO module (Data Access Object, the interface of the data persistence mechanisms).

For the complete list of the changes, please refer to the changelog.

It’s a standard refrain heard in enterprise IT departments around the world – “I want to move to the cloud, but what about data security, uptime and user response time across a nearly infinite number of devices to support?” Because of this, fear gets in the way and enterprises reap only a small percentage of the potential benefits that can be gained through cloud adoption. In his General Session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Gary Ballabio, Product Line Director at Akamai Technologies, will examine a variety of strategies you can employ to make your cloud architecture better performing, more secure and available. Learn best practices for achieving the optimal reliability for applications running in the cloud as well as maintaining or increasing the velocity of real-time data transfers happening in support of Big Data initiatives.

We are often asked how our clients use WebRenderer in their projects. There are thousands of different use cases our ingenious clients have come up with that have both delighted and surprised us. WebRenderer is more than just an embeddable Java Swing browser. WebRenderer also gives you, the developer, complete access and control of the browser. We thought we would put together an example that demonstrates some of the in-browser functionality. In this example we use WebRenderer Swing Edition to create a special “Zoom” effect when a click action is selected.

Cloud computing continues to gain momentum as enterprises of all sizes and across all industries seek to harness the business agility promised by this computing model. Despite its long-accepted benefits, the cloud has also fallen victim to performance and reliability challenges, combined with a perceived lack of security. As a result this has led to slower predicted growth and adoption of this still promising infrastructure methodology. In his Lunch Keynote at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Neil Cohen, Akamai’s Vice President of Global Product Marketing, will discuss how to overcome these challenges, and the role application delivery solutions play in optimizing public and hybrid cloud architectures without sacrificing performance, security or control.
