5 Admins for 60,000 Users: Creating a High-Clearance Growth Strategy for the Department of Defense
James Hunt
Department of Defense Contractor, Vistronix
In five short years Vistronix, which supports mission critical functions within the Department of Defense, grew their deployment from 0 to 60,000 very active users. Along the way they learned to scale the entire Atlassian stack and administration.
Every time a new team found success with JIRA, Confluence, or Bitbucket, the user base expanded dramatically. Better hardware, and smart configurations were only half the battle. They also needed JIRA Service Desk to help them organize administration requests and scale with only a handful of admins.
Find out how they kept it all running smoothly for such a high security client such as the Department of Defense.

Application Lifecycle Management at Scale
Bonnie Beyer
Project Manager, Rockwell Collins
Rockwell Collins is an aerospace engineering organization developing safety critical systems for aircraft flight decks and communications. Our regulatory processes require unique tool solutions for configuration control, traceability, and quality oversight.
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is a highly integrated engineering tool platform built upon Atlassian products, vendor plugins, and internally developed plugins like Auto-Issues-Creation, project defined custom fields, quality assurance metrics and many more. We support 7,000+ engineers with common workflows, training, and customer support.
It might be easier for organizations like Rockwell Collins to remain in legacy tools, but the benefits with ALM for collaborative design and development are overwhelming. I will describe the unique needs we have addressed, the challenges we faced, and the benefits our engineering teams are enjoying.

Automate Mission Critical Business Workflows With JIRA
Rob Yosowitz
Director PeopleSoft & Enterprise Integrations, Arizona State University
JIRA is now a mission critical application for Arizona State University. In our quest to become the premiere "Connected University", I will demonstrate several different business use cases utilizing JIRA and its technical capabilities. We use it to receive an email, create an issue, initiate an Enterprise Service Bus flow, and then record the outcome of the transaction and, if the outcome is negative, notify an appropriate resource.
You'll learn that JIRA is not necessarily a stand-alone system but can be fully integrated into the menu of enterprise applications and utilized to both receive and invoke business events. This presentation covers the use of Webhooks, JIRA API, and email-to-issue creation.

Deploy to Scale: Data Center in AWS
Ben King
Enterprise Product Advocate, Atlassian
Deploying Atlassian applications using infrastructure as a service, such as Amazon Web Services, Azure, or Digital Ocean is becoming more appealing to teams around the world.
We'll dive into the frequently asked questions around Atlassian's server and Data Center deployments in AWS. We'll discuss unique considerations for AWS as opposed to bare metal, benefits of deploying in a hosted environment, deploying at scale in AWS, and Atlassian's support policy for infrastructure.
Hear straight from the source how Atlassian's Enterprise team advises its largest customers wishing to reap the benefits of IaaS while maintaining the security and scalability of keeping applications running in-house.

Trash Talk! How to Reduce Downtime by Tuning Garbage Collection
Denise Unterwurzacher
Confluence Engineer, Atlassian
Does your JIRA sometimes freeze? Have you given Confluence more memory in an effort to speed it up? Do you think you've allocated too much or too little memory? Make users and admins happy with speedy and stable Atlassian applications. We'll go in-depth on performance tuning best practices, including the pitfalls to avoid that might make things worse. In this session, you will learn:
- When tuning works, and when it doesn't.
- How Atlassian accidentally tuned itself into more outages before diagnosing the problem and reducing outages.
- Best practices for performance and memory across large high impact instances.
- How different Java garbage collection options differ and impact performance. With the right tuning your applications will have better performance, be more stable, and scale more easily.

The Big Migration: How Cerner Moved From Confluence 3.5 to 5.8
Todd Stuck
Director - Workforce Enablement Solutions, Cerner Corporation
Kate Lomax
Program Coordinator, Cerner Corporation
Cerner uses Confluence for just about everything. To support all of these use cases they created loads of custom features and plugins. With a focus on customization, upgrades fell behind. By the time Confluence 5.8 was released they had a lot of work to do to upgrade.
With the help of a Technical Account Manager, and partnering with Comalatech they were able to upgrade with no downtime. This helped them create a disaster recovery instance, which is a key component for controlled documentation. With their upgrade, they added the ability to go through a certified approval process with reporting capability.
Learn how they made the great leap with minimal impact on users.
