AEM OVERVIEW

2. AGENDA
• Building Blocks
• AEM Internals
• Sizing and Deployment
• Auditing CQ Project
• Estimation
• End Note

3. BUILDING BLOCKS
• Applications
• Sites
• Mobile - With Phone Gap
• SoCo
• Tagging
• AEM Forms
• Workflows
• ECommerce
• DAM

4. BUILDING BLOCKS
• Process and Phases
• Wire-framing
• HTML + CSS
• Sightlify :)
• Templates
• Components & OSGi Development
• Deployment
• Maintenance

5. BUILDING BLOCKS
• Developer Tools
• JDK
• AEM
• Maven
• Eclipse
• Brackets
• VLT
• SVN/GIT

6. BUILDING BLOCKS
• Development
• Components
• JS + HTML + CSS (js ui frameworks)
• Granite vs ExtJs
• WCMUse and use
• Templates
• OSGi & Sling
• Workflows

7. BUILDING BLOCKS
• Packaging
• File Vault format packages
• Deployment
• Sling Run Modes
• Author
• Publish
• Dispatcher
• CDN

8. AEM INTERNALS
• How AEM Instances talk to each other
• Author Instance
• Publish Instance
• Dispatcher

9. AEM INTERNALS
• Frameworks
• Sling
• OSGi
• Jackrabbit OAK
• JCR
• WCM API
• Granite UI

10. AEM INTERNALS
• Configurations
• Live Copy
• Translation / i18n

11. SIZING
• n(author) = numberOfParallelAuthors / 30
• complexity = applicationComplexity + ((1-cacheRatio) * templateComplexity)
• n(publish) = (traffic * complexity / 1000 ) * activations
• application complexity: 1 - 2 (simple - complex)
• cache ratio: 0 - 1 (non - all)
• activations: avg ( size [assets + pages]/hr))/no of activations
• traffic - expected peak traffic = page-hits/35000
• templateComplexity: 1 - 10 (simple - complex)
• ex: complexity = 1.5 + ((1 - 0.5)*5) = 4
• ex: np = (105,000/35000 * 4)/1000*(20000KB/100) = 2.4

12. CACHE RATIO

13. COMPLEXITY CALCULATIONS
• Complexity below 4:
• 1024 MB JVM RAM*
• Low to mid-performance CPU
Complexity between 4 and 8:
• 2048 MB JVM RAM*
• Mid to high-performance CPU
• Complexity above 8:
• 4096 MB JVM RAM*
• High to high-end-performance CPU

14. RAM AND CORE
• CPU Cores = Number of assets per hour / 120
• RAM = 150 * Image MegaPixel * CPU Cores

15. AUDITING A CQ PROJECT
• Goal of an Audit
• Audit Parameters
• Sample Audit Report

16. ESTIMATION OF CQ PROJECTS
• Costs
• Project Setup
• UI
• Development
• QA
• Deployment
• Maintenance

17. AEM INTEGRATIONS
• SOLR - better, faster, reliable
• Hybris, ElasticPath…
• Social
• Business

18. MAINTAINING AN AEM APPLICATION
• Backups
• Upgrades
• Cluster organization & Management
• Status
• Workflows

19. END NOTE
• AEM Pointers
• Questions
• More…
