TechEd Africa 2011 - OFC307: Architecting a Disaster Tolerant and Highly Avai...Michael Noel
Many organizations are finding that their SharePoint environments are becoming as or more mission-critical as email or phone currently are. They are subsequently expecting that SharePoint be both highly available and disaster tolerant at all times. Because the Service Application architecture model in SharePoint 2010 is relatively complex, it’s not surprising that there is confusion about how to architect a SharePoint environment to be able to survive hardware, software, and site outages. This session focuses on a deep dive into the specifics of how to architect the web, data, and service application tiers of SharePoint 2010 to be both highly available and disaster tolerant. Topics such as SQL Database mirroring, clustering, Network Load Balancing, Virtualization HA and Service Application failover are discussed. In addition, real world models of various farm failover techniques for environments of all different sizes are presented and compared. • Learn how to build in high availability and disaster tolerance into the web, data, and service application tiers of SharePoint 2010 Architecture. • Examine real world designs for SharePoint 2010 that are built to allow for full functionality in the event of various failure scenarios. • Examine how to take advantage of several ‘out of the box’ technologies with SharePoint, SQL, and Windows to provide for HA, as well as understanding when a third-party option may be required.
SharePoint and Azure - A Match Made in the CloudsShailen Sukul
This case study discusses moving a highly customized SharePoint solution to Azure. Some key benefits of Azure included unlimited scalability, global traffic routing, and improved reliability.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Tomasz Juranek – Sitecore Developer/Architect @ Coders Center
Certificated Sitecore Developer since 2012. For last 5 years has worked on several
Sitecore project for big brands around the Europe.
3. What is Experience Platform?
Sitecore Experience Platform is (customer or developer POV):
• Mongo
• No SQL, xDB
• Content personalization
• Analytics Component
• Marketing Tools
• Customer Engagement
• Reports
• User Profiles
• Big Data
• Framework
• Architecture
• New DMS, CEP
• Different approach?

4. What Experience Platform do, what is the role of xDB
Experience Platform:
The combination of Sitecore CMS, xDB, and other experience marketing applications.
xDB:
The Sitecore Experience Database (xDB) collects all your customer interactions from all
channel sources in a central, big data repository.
xDB connects interaction data to create a comprehensive, unified view of each individual
customer, and makes the data available to marketers to manage the customer
experience in real time.
4Experience Platform Glossary:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/xdb/experience_platform_glossary
5. How Experience Platform works from visitor perspective
When a contact interacts with the website, the xDB collects all contact and the interaction data. This data flows through the xDB in the following
sequence:
5
1. A contact decides to interact with a website.
2. Depending on the geographic location of the contact, the xDB
redirects their visit to the closest cluster (data center) through
DNS configuration.
3. Load-balancing software directs the contact to an appropriate
Sitecore content delivery server.
4. Contacts stay connected to the same cluster even if they
switch devices or use another browser (session transfer).
5. Sitecore uses session state for storing information about the
current contact interaction, contact state, and any other
related data
6. On session end, Sitecore flushes this data to the collection
database and schedules it for processing.
Session transfer:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/xdb/server_considerations/server_clusters_and_transferring_contact_sessions
6. Session states in Experience Platform
• Private session state collects data of the interactions (visted pages) and the devices used by the contact.
• Shared session state data includes all data that is unique to a contact and that can be shared across simultaneous sessions, such as contact
details (available for personalization) and any triggered engagement automation states.
• Private and shared session providers are configured in web.config and can be InProcess (by default ASP.Net in memory), MongoDB or SQL
Server
• On single standalone CD server shared session state is still useful for handling concurrent visits, by the same contact from different devices
• On CM server use inProc

7. Contact Identification
New visit starts with unidentified contact (Anonymous in Experience Profile):
• Identifier (GUID) and device/browser data only.
• Connection between contact and device is stored in a cookie. Clearing cookies in the browser breaks the connection.
Unidentified contacts became identified by providing more data e.g.
• Filling WFFM forms
• Clicking EXM email link
• Login form or other custom code, using Sitecore.Analytics.Tracker.Current.Session.Identify(string id);
When xDB identifies a contact, it merges the unidentified contact with the identified contact.
• All the information stored in these contact records merge into one record. The old contact record is removed and replaced
with a reference to the updated contact record.
• Typical scenario: Double Opt-In, where user registers on one device and clicks confirmation link on different one.

own
List Manager entry, e.g. for EXM
Personal Data from WFFM form
• xDB stores all visitors including anonymous
• Contact vs User from Membership database
• Contact can be easily extended with custom fields (Contact Facets)
How to create custom contact facet:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/xdb/contacts/create_a_custom_contact_facet
9. Mongo Collections - FormData
9
• WFFM has built-in actions to save contact data into xDB and link with User in Membership database.
• Form data can be exported to Excel or CSV in Sitecore back-office.
• Form fields on website can be prefilled with data from xDB Contact (check „Rules” in Form Designer).
10. Mongo Collections - Interactions
10
• To speed up the testing set short session timeout, or use Session.Abandon();
12. xDB Data Aggregation
1. After session ends, the latest interactions are saved to the collection database.
12Architecture overview:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/xdb/platform/architecture_overview
2. Interaction data is added to the processing pool for aggregation.
3. An agent worker picks up the interaction from the processing pool and hands it on to an
aggregator.
4. The aggregator pushes the interaction through the aggregation pipeline and converts the
data into a form suitable for the reporting database (reduced and easy to query).
5. Once the data is converted into the correct format, it is merged into existing reporting
data that is stored in the SQL reporting database, keeping the reporting database
continuously in sync with the latest interactions on the website
7. Gathered data is presented to marketers in Sitecore reporting applications via Reporting API
13. Data for Experience Platform reports (Reporting API)
13
Reporting API description
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/xdb/platform/reporting_architecture
• Reporting database – a Microsoft SQL Server database
that contains fact and dimension tables of aggregated
data from the collection database
• Reporting Service – queries the reporting database
(SQL) and the collection database (Mongo) to fetch
report data
• Reporting server – a Sitecore server that hosts the
Reporting Service
* Names may be confused: Legacy Analytics SQL db vs Analytics Collection in Mongo vs Reporting connection string

15. Where Experience Platform stores visitor data - Summary
Cookie
• A cookie is used to identify the device that a contact uses to interact with a website.
In this way, you can identify the device if the contact returns using the same device.
Private and shared session:
• Interactions and devices
• Contact Personal information and identifier
• Contact Behavior profile (Contact's past profiles and personas matches)
• Key Behavior Cache in Sitecore 8.1 (Recent X contact’s activities)
• Data from WFFM forms
• Engagement automation states
Mongo DB
• All the visit and contact data persisted in collections
SQL Reporting Db
• Aggregated and grouped analytics data
Analytics Index
• Most important data is indexed for quick access

Typical Sitecore CMS infrastracture
Customers typically don’t use analytics features from previous Sitecore versions. But they want to migrate to Sitecore 8.x
because of Experience Platform
19. 19
Minimal Experience Platform infrastracture
Standalone, all-in-one configuration same as for typical Sitecore CMS
Scalability options:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/xdb/platform/scalability_options
20. Experience Platform servers configuration
Possible Sitecore server roles (features) in the platform:
• Content Delivery Server
• Content Management Server
• Processing Server
• Reporting Server
Each server role it’s a Sitecore instance with different configuration:
• Several configuration files in /Include folder have to be enabled/disabled per server role
• Different database access per server role
• Server roles can be mixed, eg Reporting/CM, or Processing/Reporting on same server
• It’s flexible, can be easily extended horizontally (add more servers to perform each activity)
Additionally setup Mongo DB for Collection and Session databases (optionally on SQL Server)

21. 21
Experience Platform possible problems
• Limited developers and community knowledge comparing to CMS
• Limited customer knowledge
• Typically compare Sitecore to their previous CMS
• Don’t know what Experience Platform has to offer
• Customer budget and project plan:
• Usually CMS focused
• Experience features need to be developed as well!
• Responsibility for analytics/personalization/marketing features:
• Customer (they know their business), or implementation partner?
• Hard to say, due to limited knowledge, budget and wrong planning
• Sitecore upgrades are more complicated comparing to CMS-only:
• Experience Platform is changing a lot, comparing to stable CMS
• A lot of different config files per server role
• Related with WFFM and EXM modules
• More complicated architecture:
• Higher hardware costs
• No MongoDB experience in typical corporate IT department
• Solr is must on scaled environment
Solr on processing server:
