Webinars on Web Cache, Scalability and Memcached
Accelerate your Memcached knowledge with these insightful Webinars.
Memcached: The Protocol that Runs Web 2.0
Date: Wednesday March 24, 2010.
Over the last several years the web has seen massive increases in population, traffic, content and applications. The shift from static “brochure ware” to “Web 2.0” services requires that websites serve dynamic and personalized content to their users. However, as site use grows many organizations may struggle to handle the deluge of dynamic content. Sites need a way to keep performance “snappy” without spending large amounts of money.
In steps Memcached.
In this webinar we’ll discuss how Web 2.0 has evolved and how websites are using Memcached to ensure site performance and scalability. You’ll learn why Memcached is used by some of the most popular sites in the world, and get tips and best practices on implementing Memcached to get the best bang for your buck.
Join us during one of these three times:
Wed, Mar 24, 2010 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM PDT
Wed, Mar 24, 2010 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PDT

Building Faster, Better, Cheaper Websites with Memcached
Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2010.
Memcached has become the de-facto standard for high-traffic websites with dynamic content. When properly planned and implemented, Memcached can help you build a website that’s faster, better and cheaper run.
- · Faster - Memcached can speed up web performance by up to 100x
- · Better - Faster websites equal a better user experience, more site visits and more revenue
- · Cheaper - As an Open Source solution, Memcached is free to use and can leverage spare memory on existing servers
In this webinar we’ll discuss the technologies and techniques used to build high scale websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Craigslist. We’ll cover the evolution of a dynamic data driven website and review key Open Source technologies, such as Memcached, used to drive performance and scale dynamic websites.
We’ll also cover how Gear6 Web Cache, the enhanced Memcached solution, can be used to drive higher performance and lower TCO for these sites.

The Evolution of a Memcached Deployment
Date: Thursday, January 14, 2010 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST
Memcached has become a critical tool in the web technology stack. High traffic web sites with dynamic content - like Facebook, Twitter, and Wikipedia - rely on Memcached to scale and ensure “snappy” site performance.
This presentation willl cover a brief overview of Memcached, then dive into the evolution of Memcached’s use in dynamic web sites and how you can scale your site and get better performance with Memcached. We’ll also review emerging architectures and tools of high performance, large scale dynamic websites.
In this webinar you will learn best practices used by some of the hottest sites and get tips on how to avoid potential pitfalls when scaling. Whether you're just building the infrastructure for a brand new site or have a large dynamic site with millions of users, this webinar is for you.

TCO for Memcached: How much cash does your cache cost?
Date: December 10, 2009 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST
Memcached is the popular open source cache that enables many popular sites to scale and support large numbers of users and traffic. Memcached is simple to implement and its distributed nature enables sites to rapidly add cache to support growth. However, with the rapid growth of the cache so goes the costs. Cache costs can escalate rapidly and have a significant impact on a business.
In this webinar we'll review the key component costs of Memcached (both operational costs and capital expenditure costs) and work through some real world TCO examples using standard Memcached vs Gear6 cache. All so you can figure out how muchcash is your cache costing you.

Memcached: Making the Cloud Scalable for Web 2.0
Date: Tuesday, December 8, 2009 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST
“Everything runs from memory in Web 2.0” – Evan Weaver, Twitter. Memcached is mission critical for Web 2.0 companies to scale their sites by alleviating database load and accelerating performance. As companies are looking to reduce operational and overhead costs, the trend is to move more and more applications and services into the “cloud”
“Everything in the cloud runs in memory” – Joaquin Ruiz, Gear6. Without Memcached, Web 2.0 in the cloud doesn’t work. Database driven websites can now take advantage of the cloud, getting the performance they need by leveraging cloud base Memached services.
In this webinar you’ll learn more about the pros and cons of implementing Memcached in a cloud environment, the basics and best practices of implementation, and how to get the most out of your investment with Memcached.

Recorded Webinar: Memcached and the Rise of the Dynamic Web
Date: September 15, 2009.
In this webinar you’ll learn how the web is changing and how web businesses can get ahead of it by building a scalable Web architecture leveraging Memcached.
As recent as a couple of years ago, the Web was markedly different. Then, business traffic dominated the Web, and users were online to find information (largely from sites with static content) and engage in e-commerce. That’s completely changed now thanks to a combination of forces: consumer dominance, speed of access and mobility, and the rise of dynamic content, applications and activity.
Now Web companies of all sizes face many of the same challenges: sites must be faster, infrastructure must scale, and everything must be available to customers at all times, no matter what. Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system that can help scale your website and increase performance, and is quickly becoming the standard for companies who need a reliable, scalable solution for running their websites.
