_This month's meeting details:_

*When:*  October 19, 2010 @ 7:00pm
*Where:* *Holiday Inn Select Atlanta Perimeter Dunwoody
*4386 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road
Atlanta, GA 30341

*Who:*  Eric Mizell
*What: *High-Performance Scalability for Enterprise Applications with 
Enterprise Ehcache

*Description:*

Scaling enterprise applications is hard. Traditional architectures that 
use the database as a hub of application data and shared state lead to 
performance bottlenecks, excessive database license and hardware costs, 
and vendor lock-in. Many homegrown or patched-together solutions at 
worst don't work and at best suck hours of developer time that could be 
better spent elsewhere.

Enterprise Ehcache is an easy-to-deploy solution to these hard-to-solve 
scale and throughput problems. Ehcache has long been the de facto 
standard for Java caching and is the default cache for many popular 
frameworks and containers such as Hibernate, Spring, Tomcat, JBoss, 
WebLogic, WebSphere, and ColdFusion. In this presentation you will learn 
how to use Enterprise Ehcache to speed up and scale out your application 
from one node to 1,000s, to large virtualized environments and clouds:

    * Background-standard caching theory and practice
    * Getting started-the Ehcache API and configuration
    * Web caching
    * Advanced scaling techniques---configuring and deploying a
      distributed cache
    * Flexibility, management, and control---decorators, listeners,
      statistics, and monitoring
    * Cloud deployment
    * Tuning and monitoring best practices

*Our Speaker:

* As a Solutions Architect on the Field Engineering Team for Terracotta, 
Eric Mizell helps enterprise IT organizations improve their service 
availability and application performance through the application of the 
industry leading Terracotta Java Scalability Technology.  Eric has over 
12 years of experience designing and developing enterprise systems where 
performance and scalability were essential. Outside the office, he 
spends time with his family and especially enjoys coaching his son's 
baseball team.
