Collaboration and Ajax in a Web 2.0 World

IT administrators have long bemoaned the task of implementing a scalable, affordable, reliable messaging architecture, from the pain involved in managing message metadata to the inefficiency of multiple message storage requirements.

Leveraging the open-source community and MySQL’s database expertise and efficiency, Zimbra has altered the way administrators control their email servers through the development of a more effective back end for its messaging architecture. Open source technologies such as Linux and MySQL enable Zimbra to provide better caching and reduced write overhead, which dramatically decreases costs - a longstanding barrier to scalability in messaging systems. Additionally, the solution is easier to deploy and manage than legacy collaboration solutions.

The Zimbra Collaboration Suite is also heavily based on AJAX technologies. Zimbra President Scott Dietzen will provide an overview of the lessons learned from building an enormous AJAX application, speaking to the audience about this “Ajaxian Journey.” He’ll cover where AJAX has been, its present state and most importantly, where it is going. He’ll also discuss lessons learned in AJAX-based development and implementation and will take a look how innovative uses of AJAX will impact the future of technology.

WHO:

• Scott Dietzen, Ph.D., President and Chief Technology Officer
  Prior to Zimbra, Scott was CTO of BEA Systems where he was the principal architect the WebLogic product family. He is widely credited with helping put together the J2EE standard, launching the Web application server category, launching the Java Community Process, and driving the web services collaboration with Microsoft and IBM. Prior to WebLogic, Scott was Principal Technologist for Transarc (acquired by IBM), a developer of distributed transaction and information sharing systems. He earned his Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science and B.S. in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University.

WHAT:

This session will also explore ways in which MySQL, Zimbra and the open source community have helped to improve the performance and flexibility of a modern messaging/applications architecture:

• Why Zimbra chose MySQL (e.g. compatibility with Open Source licensing, large community, portability, efficiency of MySQL server processes, ease of embedding, relational databases are great for highly structured metadata, caching efficiency)
• How MySQL has provided performance and scalability improvements
• Old vs. new – how modern messaging architectures can improve on legacy messaging systems by using MySQL AJAX technology and its implications for large Web-based applications.
