If you are interested or responsible for the performance or sizing of your mainframe storage or remote copy operations, then this announcement about a class may be of interest to you or some of your team members.
There are also a couple of webinars and some white papers offered below.
1. FOUR DAY OFF-SITE CLASS:
I/O Architecture and Performance Analysis.
This four day class will be held October 15-18 in Baltimore (near the inner harbor area). Taught by Dr. Gilbert Houtekamer, co-author of "MVS I/O Subsystems", and Andries de Jong, this class has been very highly rated by past attendees.

2. WEBINAR:
New Methods & Metrics for Mainframe Storage Performance Management.
Even for those sites with very significant custom programming for I/O performance reporting, there are significant new metrics and methods that are beneficial.
This 60 minute webinar will demonstrate why new methods and metrics are needed to understand and manage the performance of today’s mainframe Storage environments.
IntelliMagic will show how today's I/O architectures mask important performance characteristics and how to overcome this visibility gap to reduce I/O performance problems and safely get more from your disk subsystems.
Topics covered will include automated intelligence to provide early warning of I/O trouble, visibility into FICON health, the status of components inside the disk subsystem, PAV and HyperPAV sizing, Remote Copy planning and monitoring, and more.
When? Friday June 22, 11am Eastern / 10am Central / 9am Mountain
