He has well experience in building highly distributable systems using multi-tier architecture. His interest on exploring new technologies and tools.

11:55 - Reactive Applications with Play Framework - Deepak Shevani, Flipkart

Reactive programming is programming with asynchronous data streams. New architectural principles have grown out of need to manage larger and more isparate data while keeping the user experience as responsive as possible. These principles are bundled under the title : reactive programming and are described in the Reactive Manifesto (http://www.reactivemanifesto.org/). In this talk Deepak will introduce these principles and walk you through a sample application in Play framework.

Deepak Shevani works for Flipkart as senior software developer in Supply Chain team. His team works on providing scalable and responsive platforms for various teams within the organization. He likes attending knowledge sharing conferences and meet various folks in field. Prior to this, he has worked for Search team at Yahoo as backend engineer on search relevancy and improvements.

12:25 - Application-driven Infrastructure Management trends for large scale data centers - Sundara Nagarajan, Technical Director, NetApp, Bangalore

Large scale user-facing cloud applications and services have caused a paradigm shift in application engineering, data center operation and management. The problem definition for the data center operating system is now about application-aware optimization. Virtualization of different kinds is enabling this optimization beyond what could be imagined in the previous decade. In this rapidly optimizing environment, storage is the only component of the data center that is growing rapidly. As machine-generated data has exceeded the volume of “finger typed” data, data center is asked to deal with exponential growth in data. As business run on information technology infrastructure, disruption of service of any kind is unacceptable. This talk is about the trends likely to influence the storage systems design for large scale enterprise and service provider data centers.

Sundara Nagarajan ("SN") is currently Technical Director at NetApp, based in Bangalore, India. His current area of work concerns storage-as-a-service paradigm, application-aware infrastructure management and data protection products for large scale enterprise and service provider customers. Previously he was Director and Distinguished Technologist in Enterprise Server, Storage and Networking Division of Hewlett-Packard Company. Prior to joining HP, he held positions at Wipro, Philips, and entrepreneurial startups. He also did R&D assignments at Intel, Tandem (now part of HP) and Xerox Corporation. He holds M.S. (By Research) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He is a Certified ScrumMaster, Senior Member of the IEEE, Member of the ACM and Member of USENIX. He had served in the Advisory Board of IEEE Computing Now. He also serves as Visiting Professor at International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore teaching Advanced Operating Systems.
