SUMMARY:CMG Australia Virtual Event: Modern Observability Management
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, Aug 18\, 2021 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM EDT (Eastern Time Zone)\nor\nThu\, Aug 19\, 2021 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM AEST (Australia Time Zone)  \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin CMG Australia for this event on Modern Observability Management. We will feature two speakers talking about their own experiences with observability programs and how to manage outsourced observability. \nWatch These Videos:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMuch Observability\, Such Wow!\nPresented by Pranavi Chandramohan – Observability Platform Lead at Canva\nOver the last few years\, Observability has become a critical aspect of software development and systems design. Good Observability practices\, coupled with effective design and tools provide software development teams\, both large and small with a significant competitive advantage. Come learn about my experience with Observability as I went from being a software engineer to an SRE and most recently an Observability engineer. \n\nAbout the Presenter:\n \nPranavi Chandramohan is a professional software engineer with significant experience in web development\, infrastructure design and operation. She has more than 10 years’ experience in software engineering and development with companies like Intel Corporation and Campaign Monitor. In her current role at Canva\, she serves as a Technical Lead working on the company’s Observability Platform. Pravani enjoys presenting and writing about her work to share her knowledge with others. She resides in Sydney. \n  \n\n\nGreat! Your Mainframe is outsourced. What is next in a digital future? Your outsourcer is your partner. How can you avoid common expensive hiccups?\nPresented by Brian Hoare – Analytics Solutions Specialist at ZETALY\nOutsourcer’s do a good job\, but to make the business relationship work equally\, checks and balances must be conducted.\nIn most parts\, the relationship with the outsourcer is positive\, but do you receive all the cost savings expected?\nOnly regular due diligence with the outsourcer will ensure you do.\nCovid has changed the world we live in and companies have moved forward at a ferocious pace\, especially with digitalization\, your outsourcer is no different.\nIn this session\, we will explore the relevant checks and balances\, digitalization\, and some of the benefits that working closer to your outsourcer can bring to you. \nThe future is digital\, are you ready for the change? \n\nAbout the Presenter:\n \nBrian Hoare has seen the z platform grow from OS/390 to today’s z/OS. He has introduced new solutions into the USA and worked with several startups. He has presented at local/annual CMG’s\, Share and many other conferences discussing cost reduction (IBM/MLC)\, performance and is now his focused on analytical data on “z”. Mainframe analytics are his latest passion\, especially as Z is the richest source of data there is. So why not use the richest source of data we have for helping to run the business? Brian now lives in Florida\, but lived in Sydney and Melbourne for 20+ years and is a passionate fan of Rugby and Football (Soccer) with several refereeing and coaching badges. \n  \n\n\n\n\n  \nRegister Now!

SUMMARY:Ohio Valley CMG 2021 Spring Teleconference
DESCRIPTION:Agenda\nOhio Valley CMG is planning a teleconference for April 8\, 2021. This meeting will be conducted over Zoom\, and will have two presentations and a panel discussion about how COVID-19 has changed IT. Admission is free but we do ask that you register. Zoom details will be sent out a day or two before our meeting. We expect to start at 9:00 EDT and finish by about noon. \n  \n08:30 Early gathering for those who want to network before the meeting \n09:00 Introductions and Kickoff \n09:05 What is possible for z/OS development\, even offline or remote? \n10:00 Predict Bad Things Before They Happen… Even if You Haven’t Seen Them Before \n11:00 How COVID-19 Has Changed IT (Panel Discussion) \n12:00ish Wrapup \n  \n\nSpeakers\nJerry Edgington (Western Southern Insurance): What is possible for z/OS development\, even offline or remote? \nIn this presentation we will explore what is possible in the day in the life of a modern programmer.  Showing how a developer might work\, even offline/remote from z/OS\, including testing.  How would they get their work? Where would they find problems or issues to fix? What can be developed and tested\, even when disconnected and only running locally.  Could the developer\, try some new “things” out\, without impacting anyone\, including in CICS\, DB2\, or IMS? What would the pipeline\, workflow or life cycle management\, look like? Could a developer\, develop an application from end to end? Could we remove all the manual steps from development to production deployment? How could multiple developers work on the same source code\, at the same time\, and not impact each other? \nThese are some of the questions\, I hope we will be able to answer or show a path to answering these questions\, but the end of the session. \nNigel Slinger (BMC) Predict Bad Things Before They Happen… Even if You Haven’t Seen Them Before \nBad things just happen. Whether it’s a performance slow down or a service disruption\, it has an impact on our enterprises whether it be revenue\, productivity or both. Over the decades we’ve built our monitors to help ease that problem\, but it is only most effective if we’ve experienced the problem before. Machine Learning solutions learn from past events including performance slowdowns and service disruptions much like humans would. In other words\, many machine learning solutions out there today would have to experience the problem at least once before it can predict it. What if there was a combination of machine learning components\, that when put together\, are able to see those bad things even if you’ve never encountered them before? We’ll talk about those machine learning components and examples of how they can deliver truly predictive machine learning solutions. \nPanel Discussion: How COVID-19 Has Changed IT \nHave you experienced changes in the way you manager performance and capacity for your systems as a result of the COVID-19 impacts?  Have you been wondering if other sites are seeing impacts?  Looking for additional ideas\, including what worked and what didn’t work\, on how to address the changes imposed by the pandemic?  Are recent changes just anomalies\, or will the future of IT be changed permanently? Join us for a panel discussion of the impacts and changes of COVID on IT.  Several IT professionals from organizations in our area will be answering these questions and more in this special session. \n\nAttendance is free\, so register now!\n\nQuestions\, please contact: Ann Knapik\, ann@ohvcmg.org

SUMMARY:What to Do When Resources Go Down and Demand Goes Up: A Pandemic Story
DESCRIPTION:During the pandemic\, some enterprises have seen demand increase (securities trading processors\, wine club home delivery\, media streaming providers); others have seen demand decline. Leaders in both camps tell ASG that resources are remaining fixed or declining\, while customer and business demands continue to rise. The burden is magnified by a workforce that is now remote and geographically dispersed. \nIn this presentation\, ASG’s VP of Product Management Jeff Cherrington will discuss some of these cases and explain how enterprises are responding using data visualization and automation to bridge the gaps imposed by both a remote workforce and increasing demands for innovation. \n  \nJeff Cherrington \nVice President of Product Management\, Systems \nASG Technologies \nJeff Cherrington is the Vice President of Product Management for Systems at ASG Technologies where he drives product strategy\, go-to-market\, and new product introduction. Jeff brings over 30 years of extensive experience providing data processing and packaged software to payments\, banking\, finance\, and other verticals. He has experience in sales\, customer service\, and program management within both initial stage start-ups and billion-dollar public companies. Jeff also holds an Executive MBA from the University of Nebraska.

SUMMARY:Insider Risk and Remote Work - Presented by Dell
DESCRIPTION:Remote Threats: Insider Risk and the Remote Work Paradigm\nIt’s a new world for businesses everywhere. For small and medium sized companies who thrive on in-person relationships and customer interaction\, it’s a difficult transition to an all remote- stay at home workforce. That’s on top of whether your business model can sustain some level of operation\, revenue generation\, and customer retention.\nFor those companies who can continue to operate at some level\, the current environment creates numerous opportunities for a bad actor to exploit your employees\, or for a bad employee to steal from your company. Join us in this webinar to discuss strategies that will help protect your company now by learning the indicators professionals look for in potential problem employees and review the motivations that drive employees to cross the line. You will be equipped with strategies and questions you should ask your leadership to better protect you company in these unprecedented times. \nSpeaker Bio\nChris Jones is Director of Cyber Security for Dell Technologies where he oversees eDiscovery\, Digital Forensics\, Cyber Investigations\, and Insider Risk Operations. He has been involved in addressing insider threat problems for over 20 years within the U.S. Intelligence Community\, law enforcement\, and large corporations. Chris founded the FBI’s Cyber Profiling team and developed behavioral profiling and psychological analysis techniques\, driven by technical data analytics\, for use in sensitive investigations. He is a multidiscipline security convergence expert having held leadership roles in risk management\, complex investigations\, cybersecurity\, physical security\, close protection\, emergency management\, and emergency medical services.

SUMMARY:The XCHANGE: Infrastructure Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next conference in our virtual event series. This next event is all about scalability and reliability. THEXCHANGE will explore how IT infrastructure is evolving to keep pace with digital transformation\, new technologies\, and processes such as Internet of Things (IoT)\, Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, and the necessity of keeping up with consumer demands. \nTHEXCHANGE will host a series of speakers to discuss mainframe\, cloud\, and hybrid infrastructures\, edge computing\, security and governance\, and IT finance and planning. \nSpeakers/Sessions: \nDamaged Joy – Fixing Digital Experience: Infrastructure and CX Edition with Taz Lake\, Author and Founder at Brightmill |  Watch the Video \n\nIf you thought CX (Customer Experience) was just about a fancy retail store or a pretty website\, you may be surprised. Infrastructure plays a critical role in gathering insights and building interactions with your customer. Through real-life examples\, we will explore those\, as well as the risks inherent in infrastructure dependencies\, availability\, and scalability. We will see how service delivery may be impacted and touch on the role of AI and Machine Learning in supporting infrastructure and better customer experience.\n\nQ&A: All Things Cloud with Scott Adams\, Chief Product Owner at HelpSystems |  Watch the Video \n\nOrganizations today are not just playing with on-prem and private data centers. Many are taking advantage of the benefits of working with public cloud providers for certain applications. In this session\, Scott Adams will talk about IT infrastructure and how data obtained from capacity planning tools can help in their future technology purchases in the cloud.\n\nEdge Computing – An Emerging Paradigm with Ashu Joshi\, CEO/Founder at Movinture | Watch the Video \n\nThe history of computing has gone through many phases. The early days of computer technology were dominated by physically large\, centrally located mainframes\, with thin terminals used by end-users. This centralized model migrated to mini-computers. The late 1980’s till early 2000s saw a shift where compute and storage became decentralized (and kind of local) with Desktop PCs and smaller and more powerful servers. The last decade has moved to a centralized model where computing\, storage\, and network have moved to the Cloud. This session covers an emerging paradigm – Edge Computing – where elements of computing\, storage\, and network are being moved closer in proximity to where these functions are best performed. We are in an era where Data is the new Oil. Edge computing brings compute (and to a certain degree storage & network) closer to where the data is being produced. Think of sensors producing a deluge of data. This session will provide an overview of how Edge Computing is going to impact and benefit from machine learning\, distributed computing\, IoT\, decentralized technologies (like blockchain and distributed ledger) and hybrid computing.\n\nQ&A: Overcoming Infrastructure Sprawl with Charles Johnson – Senior Solutions Consultant at Syncsort | Watch the Video \n\nAs an organization grows and evolves over time\, IT infrastructure sprawl can become a time consuming and costly. In this session\, Charles Johnson will explore some of the biggest causes of this sprawl and how AI and Machine Learning are being integrated into infrastructure management.\n\nPerformance\, Scalability and Reliability in private clouds with Gary Little\, Technical Director at Nutanix | Watch the Video\n \n\nPrivate infrastructure is undergoing a renaissance in design and operation. A cloudification of the datacenterfor want of a better word. Hyper-Converged-Infrastructure (HCI) is a key component of such transformation. In this session you will learn about HCI and the evolution of private cloud operating systems. We will show how distributed systems techniques\, honed in public clouds enable privateclouds that are high performance\, scalable and resilient. Take a look under the covers to discover how the cloud is made.\n\n+Download the Event Schedule \n  \nSponsored By \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsor Resources\n\nHow to Do Capacity Planning\nWith ever-growing IT infrastructure\, keeping applications and systems up and running isn’t easy. You can’t afford downtime\, but you also have limited time\, money\, and resources to keep IT running. Capacity planning is all about that balance of keeping IT services up without overspending. Get your guide to starting a capacity planning practice. (HelpSystems)\nRead More \nSix Ways to Make Your Cloud More Affordable\nMany IT teams are feeling the pressure to move to cloud—and often for good reasons. Operating in the cloud has many benefits\, but without a smart migration you’ll end up with cloudshock\, that heart-stopping feeling you get when you see your first enormous cloud bill. Make a smart move to cloud with these six ways to make cloud more affordable.(HelpSystems)\nRead more \nGetting Started: A Manager’s Guide to Implementing Capacity Management\nYour business needs the support of IT services in order to deliver value to customers. Whether you’ve invested in cloud services or an in-house data center\, your IT infrastructure needs a capacity management practice to reduce the risk of slowdowns or outages while minimizing waste from overprovisioning. Get your guide to learn how to get started.(HelpSystems)\nRead More \nIs Reporting the Weak Link in Your Capacity Management Process?\nNew products and capabilities are released to the market all the time that help companies improve their ability to manage their current and future workload needs. However\, no matter the maturity of their capacity management approach or the tools they choose to use\, being able to report and share information is the foundation to showing the ROI of capacity management. (Syncsort)\nRead More \nInterSystems – IRIS Data Platform Whitepaper\nOrganizations in every industry are looking to exploit the strategic and operational benefits of\nshortening and eliminating the delay between event\, insight\, and action. They also strive to\nembed data-driven intelligence into their realtime business processes.\nRead More \nESG Building Smarter Faster Scalable Data-Rich Applications\nAs the technology landscape evolves\, organizations struggle with addressing the needs of modern applications. One reason for this is that organizations continue to leverage traditional database infrastructures\, even force-fitting modern applications into an RDBMS due to familiarity or internal mandate. This leads to headaches for DBAs who are then stuck with managing independent physical infrastructures for each application\, while also struggling to meet the performance\, scalability\, and flexibility requirements of many of these modern applications.\nRead More \nRole of Data Management in Delivering the Digital Transformation Platform\nThe significance of digital transformation in ensuring that an enterprise thrives is rising. One key enabling technology system is the digital transformation platform\, which is driven by data management. Thus\, data management has a critical role in ensuring a successful digital transformation.\nRead More \n
