A : These are Professional and Performance Cloud

Q2 : Name the different components which are useful in cloud architecture?
A : The first thing that matters is the speed of the processor. Next are Cloud Ingress and the Intra-cloud communications. Moreover, the effective Cloud Provided Services and the storage services are also mandatory.

Recommended Training : Sailpoint.

Q3 : Define Cloud service in your own language?
A : Cloud is basically an approach to build and store cloud applications with the help of a server in a network with the help of internet. It offers the ability to the users to access the application within a cloud from any location. In addition to this, all the apps can be placed at a centralized location where one needs not to worry about the safety and the security of the concerned data.

Q4 : Is it possible to manage the identities in the Utility computing?
A : Yes, this is possible and because it is a plug-in management, the nature of services could be different. In most of the cases, it is a Hybrid approach and identity management is not a big deal through an effective solution

Q5 : How the Sailpoint Cloud Identity Management solution could be useful than any other parallel approach or solution?

A :

  • Its data storage and backup is secure and organization can always make sure of the same
  • It offers management abilities without compromising with the server capabilities
  • There are inbuilt sandboxing features which the users can simply make sure of without compromising with anything else
  • It saves a lot of cost, as well as efforts of experts when it comes to managing the data on a cloud

Q6 : Can you name a few models in cloud in which the Sailpoint solutions can be applied directly?
A : The Sailpoint is compatible with all the models such as Private Clouds, Community cloud, Public Cloud, as well as the Hybrid cloud. However, its implementation and installation could be different

Q7 : Can you tell how cloud computing is different from Mobile Computing?
 A : They seem quite similar to one another but are actually different. Both use the same concept and Cloud computing has additional benefits. It becomes data operational through the World Wide Web than just a specific device. The data which is demanded by the users can be accessed anytime. On the other side, all the application in mobile generally runs on a remote server. Thus, the users can have access for storing, as well as managing the data.

Q8 : While transporting the data within a cloud, give one method you use to secure it?
A : Attention should be paid on the encryption key and make sure the same is implemented along with the files or the data

Q9 : While managing the identities, give one approach which you can consider to make your cloud more intelligent?
A : This can be done by simply providing the integrators the knowledge about the data center and the creation of the same.

Q10 : Tell something about the basic requirement you need to fulfill before implementing a Cloud Identity management solution?
A : The very first thing to pay attention to is nothing but the compliance which is mandatory. It is also necessary to pay attention to the loss of the data as well as the storage. The experts must also pay attention to the overall continuity of the data integrity of the cloud environment.

Q11 : How the need of writing the complex programs, again and again, can be eliminated in the cloud?
A : This can be done with the help of Application Programming Interface. All the instructions that govern the control over the application communication are defined by it and new systems can be added to the cloud without changing the existing security policies binding identification and access management

Q12 : What is the significance of Elasticity and the Scalability in Cloud Identity management?
A : Elasticity is useful for the commissioning of the apps and the reverse action of the same which is quite useful in the identity management. On the other side, the Scalability is a characteristic that makes sure that the extra workload could be managed by boosting the resource capacity. Both are useful in managing the identities and cut down the chances of so many errors.

Q13 : What sort of investments is required in Cloud Architecture?
A : Well, the investments are almost nil than in case one needs a dedicated cloud. It is very much true that the cloud technology is secure and safe in every aspect as it simply makes sure of the just in time infrastructure.

Q14 :  Name the different components which are useful in cloud architecture?
A : The first thing that matters is the speed of the processor. Next are Cloud Ingress and the Intra-cloud communications. Moreover, the effective Cloud Provided Services and the storage services are also mandatory.

Q15 : What type of Web Services are you working on? Did you build custom interfaces to go with them?
A : Working on using XML based web services to connect with OAM as the native interfaces do not play well with custom legacy application. In the past used and JMS  with CORBA interface to connect with legacy mainframe application.

Q16 : What are some of the steps to validate the performance of build?
A : Load testing for 20% more users than projected is a good starting place.

Q17 : Hibernate – how handle performance for end user?
A : Keep session memory footprint low
Page at DB level instead of at web server level
While load testing  use a wide range of data  to avoid the cache and simulate the real performance of end users

Q18 : When writing code, how do you handle multi-threading?
A : First of all, if you are planning to have a lot of receivers, I would not use the ONE-THREAD-AND-QUEUE-PER-RECEIVER approach. You could end up with a lot of threads not doing anything most of the time and I could hurt your performance wide. An alternative is using a thread pool of worker threads, just picking tasks from a shared queue, each task with its own receiver ID, and perhaps, a shared dictionary with socket connections to each receiver for the working threads to use.

Q19 : If dealing with a J2EE application, what app server would you deploy? Why WebSphere over Tomcat?
A :
WebSphere is app server and tomcat is web server. So Websphere is preferred if you want to run distributed transactions and ejb. Tomcat is good enough if you provide merely http protocol level service alone.

Q20 : What sort of investments is required in Cloud Architecture?
A : Well, the investments are almost nil than in case one needs a dedicated cloud. It is very much true that the cloud technology is secure and safe in every aspect as it simply makes sure of the just in time infrastructure.

Q21 : Suppose there are issues related to the performance, what sort of actions you will take?
A : The load, as well as the performance testing, is something that would be extremely helpful for you but this would be done in the initial stage. Code analyzing is the next thing that can be done for this. Moreover,  the operation fortification and the upliftment can be done. Attention is to be paid on the data files, disk space availability, as well as on the factors that can enhance the downtime.

Q22 : Give abbreviation for APMFA?
A : It stands for Application Level multi-factor authentication

Q23 : What could be the influence of an effective Cloud Identity management solution on a large scale organization with complex needs and operation handling?
A : There is nothing wrong to say that this approach is very critical to any organization with complex needs and management solutions on a cloud. One of the biggest factors is the overall productivity of the employees can be enhanced up to a great extent and without worrying about the overall cost associated. The technology at the same time can also be improved. In case organizations have to face issues about the platform because of directory services, a cloud identity management solution with a neutral vendor can be very useful.

Q24 : What according to you is the importance of cloud identity management?
A : Well, in the present scenario, the overall cyber attacks and privacy have become a major concern for the organizations. Identity management and access simply make sure that only the authorized person can access the data on the cloud and can manage the same. This often enhances the privacy and the security on a cloud environment and enable a business to simply keep up the pace all the time. Cloud identity management avoids the chances of data leak by imposing various restrictions on the same.

Q25 : Tell any one difference among the traditional cloud identity management solutions and the Sailpoint?
A : The SailPoint focus more on the multi-protocol approach and it mainly focuses on enabling any Information Technology resource to be considered simply. One of the key benefits is it simply accept the default language of the tool or the program and simply make sure of the favorable results in the shortest possible time.
