Expected outcomes of this research include equipping members with the ability to improve planning and reliability of operations through the use of prediction and optimization in the areas of outage and asset management.
And rather than envision some sort of uber developer, who understands big data, web performance optimization, application middleware, and fault tolerance in a massively distributed environment, we need operations specialists on the development teams.
Server optimization features such as SSL termination and compression technologies use specialized hardware to offload compute-intensive operations from the servers to the application delivery controllers.
