Digital Experience

Today through Friday, I have the opportunity to attend the IBM Leadership Alliance in Boston. The Leadership Alliance will be focused on Mobile, Social, Analytics, Content and Forms as well as Cloud. I am excited to see what IBM is going with products such as Verse, Connections, WebSphere Portal, WebSphere Content Manager and Forms Experience Builder. […]

Engadget has an article about the end of a decade long patent war between Microsoft and Google.  This is good news at a variety of levels.  As the article note, they both finally realized that most of the arguments are about moot points where the cat is out of the bag.  My favorite part is […]

Alok Gupta joined our Google practice in 2013 and has quickly become one of our go-to Technical Architects for complex implementations and custom connector development. Alok has worked with a wide variety of clients, including high-tech support organizations, major airlines, and retail food giants. It was a pleasure to talk to him about his experiences […]

Last week it was announced that IBM and Finland’s largest airline, Finnair, have established a five year partnership to deliver new digital services to execute a better and more superior customer experience. They will continue to utilize Finnair’s IT department to transform the airline’s current IT infrastructure into a more flexible, hybrid cloud platform. Nowadays […]

Summer is almost behind us and fall is starting to turn the leaves brown and the air crisp and if you are anything like me, this means one thing – Fantasy Football time is here!! With the season starting this week, all fantasy players have their rosters set and leagues ready to go. Can you […]

In 2009, our Google Search Appliance practice was a practice of one – me.  By the end of the year, Shruti Sundaresh had joined me as a co-developer on our first large project.  Her programming skills and experience with web content management systems and data migrations were invaluable.  Shruti has recently started to transform our GSA practice […]

  How to create a cluster using Websphere Application Server ND v7.0: Prerequisites: Install the WAS ND v7.0 along with the required components and test for its successful installation. Steps: First step is to create a profile. Profiles can be created either by using the Profile management Tool (PMT) or command prompt based on the OS […]

This blog is intended for the beginners of Websphere application server. Before starting with what a cluster is, let’s brush up from the basics as follows: Application Server: An application server acts as a middle-tier component between the front-end application serving business logic and back-end persistent database. Node: It is a logical group of Application […]

I’ll get this out of the way quickly — there is no such thing as a typical GSA implementation. With that said, I have been involved in scoping and delivering around 250 GSA implementations, and some averages and trends have emerged.  Most projects involve the same five core phases: Design and Requirements, Hardware and Security, Content […]

Google includes a comprehensive, HTML-based Admin Console for making changes to the Google Search Appliance configuration.  Adding KeyMatches, changing crawl URL patterns, exporting reports, etc.  This works very well during development and for making minor changes thereafter.  But in a large, complex deployment, it is often desirable to script changes or write code to do them automatically. […]

MQ Service is the interaction between the IBM Integration Bus and WebSphere MQ applications. This MQ Service editor helps to discover queues that existing Queue Managers define, and then use these queues to define a WSDL file to use with the IBM MQ Service definition specification. The following steps demonstrate the creation of MQ service. […]

In previous posts I have discussed the algorithms and applications of machine learning. One of the most sophisticated forms of machine learning is building a neural network that mimics the flesh-and-blood brain – with software- or hardware-based versions of neurons and synapses. But silicon operates differently than the stuff in our brains. In the past, researchers have suspected an entirely […]
