Standard upgrade: As we know it now. Customers must apply multiple upgrades.

Example: Upgrade from 7.1 -> 7.2 from 7.2 to 7.5.

Express upgrade: Allows you to go directly across multiple versions.

From 6.6, 7.2 directly to latest (being released with 8.2)

Express upgrades

Detection Services consist of:

• Location detection (through IP Geolocation lookups)

• Device detection (through User Agent lookups)

Two main areas for delivery:

• Client

• Lookup Client integration into the Platform

• Cloud

• Cloud Infrastructure for IP Geolocation detection (Service, Consumption and Subscription)

• Cloud infrastructure for Device Detection (Subscription only – App Center app)

Sitecore CMS

CMS Foundation is changing.

Advanced Language fallback

Looking to optimize the UI of CMS and Desktop.

Sitecore CMS

33

MVC vs Forms

• MVC is all. All is MVC

• The Era of Forms will end.

• Will we have dual product for a while?

Features

• Cloud/Server optimized, e.g. Roles and Services

• Opt-in model ensures small footprint and high throughput

• Unifies WebAPI/SignalR/MVC frameworks

• Promotes decoupled components and ships DI OOB

• New developments will be in .net 5.

ASP.NET 5.0

Recommendation: Build in MVC now, and you have the ability to upgrade.

34

MS SQL Server 2016

SQL Server is designed around Cloud First

Big Data, scale-up AND scale-out.

Comes with non-sql data model.

Machine Learning

Microsoft Azure ML

PowerBI

Research projects

35

36

Sitecore will be investing significantly in Machine Learning over the next couple of years.

• Machine learning frameworks, e.g. Azure ML.

• Built into Sitecore: E.g. Clustering

Native and external support for:

• Supervised ML

• Unsupervised ML

Machine Learning in Sitecore
