App Delivery Networking in the Cloud by Radware, hosted by Google & Cloudbakers

Topic Overview:

Application delivery networking is an approach and a suite of technologies that comprises application security, application acceleration and network availability. It ensures that applications are always secure, fast, and available across any network.

In this discussion, Neil Sullivan and Wondyrad Tefera from Radware will explain how these same techniques can be applied to the different cloud service models.

Location and Logistics:

Brandon Jung of Google is kind enough to host us at his Google offices on the 9th floor and will be saying a few words with the Cloudbakers team before we get started. UPDATE 2/22 2pm: this month's meetup is located in Google's "hi fidelity" conference room located on the 8th floor of 20 W. Kinzie. 20 W. Kinzie is a half block west of State and has Keefer's Restaurant in the lobby. Parking in garages nearby or public transportation will get you there.

Networking starts at 5pm with a formal start to the discussion at 5:30p. Google has moved us into a larger room called the "hi fidelity" room on the 8th floor. It can handle 50-70 people so am going to open up the RSVP list to everyone. Apologies for the late notice!

Food and drinks will be provided.
