Sunday Workshops at CMG'08

CMG'08 will provide sessions where you can learn about a great variety of topics in the performance management and capacity planning field.  But there is more than that.

Sometimes, you need more than just an hour to get you up to speed on a part of the field that is new to you.  For that, we offer a number of half-day Sunday workshops to get you going. 

Need information on a new operating system?  Robert Andersen presents the “z/OS Quick Start Tool Kit,” and Peter Enrico talks about “Working Through z/OS CPU Measurements.”  Dr. Kukjin Lee and Alex Bendetov tell you about “Best Practices of Performance/Diagnosis Tools in Windows Vista and Windows 7.”  Bob Snead explains “Performance Tools and Problem-Solving in Solaris.”

Maybe you are expanding horizontally, into a new part of the field.  We have Workshops on Performance, from Dr. Boris Zibitsker’s “Hands-on Workshop on Performance Prediction for Multi-tier Distributed Environments,” to Robert William walking you thru “Solid State Storage and Your Database,” to John Baker on “New Methods and Metrics for Enterprise Performance and Capacity,” to Peter Johnson explaining “Java Performance Analysis and Tuning.” 

Of course we can all use new ways to deal with the environments we already work on.  Dr. James Bouhana shows you about “Visualizing SLA Compliance and Risk Management,” and Jim Holtman takes you thru “Visualization and Analysis of Performance Data using R.”  Dr. Neil Gunther presents “How High Will It Fly?  Predicting Scalability.”  Odysseas Pentakalos shows you “Performance Management of SOA-based Enterprise Applications.”  Adrian Cockcroft and Mario Jauvin get you up to speed on “Performance Management with Free and Bundled Tools.”

Finally, there is one side of Capacity Planning that concerns all of us . . . and too few of us really understand.  Dr. Tom Bell provides the introduction all of us need for ourselves: “Capacity Planning for Retirement.”

There is something here for everyone.  In fact, your biggest problem may be choosing among all the great offerings.  At least you can be sure that, whatever you pick, you will learn something you can use.
