SUMMARY:Performance Engineering in the Age of Cloud: Unlocking Scalability and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:August 31\, 2023 | 2:00 PM ET \nSee the Session Now \nIn today’s digital landscape\, performance engineering plays a critical role in ensuring optimal system performance\, scalability\, and resilience. The rise of cloud computing has revolutionized the way we approach performance engineering\, offering unique opportunities to unlock scalability and resilience in our systems. \nCloud computing provides significant advantages for performance engineering. Scalability\, a key factor in accommodating growing workloads\, is made possible through cloud platform’s on-demand infrastructure. Auto-scaling and load balancing mechanisms enable dynamic resource allocation\, ensuring the system can handle varying levels of demand. The cloud’s distributed architecture facilitates the scalability of applications\, allowing them to scale horizontally or vertically based on requirements. \nResilience\, the ability of a system to withstand and recover from failures\, is another critical aspect of performance engineering. Achieving resilience in distributed systems can be challenging\, but the cloud offers tools and features to enhance system robustness. Fault tolerance mechanisms\, redundancy\, and replication strategies can be leveraged to improve system resilience. Additionally\, cloud-native disaster recovery and backup strategies ensure business continuity in the face of unexpected events. \nThe performance engineering process in the age of cloud involves several key steps. It starts with identifying performance goals and metrics\, followed by designing performance tests and scenarios. Performance tests are executed in the cloud environment\, leveraging on-demand infrastructure and realistic load simulations. Results are then analyzed\, and system performance is optimized through iterative cycles. \nCloud-based performance testing tools further streamline the process\, offering features like real-time monitoring and analytics. Best practices for performance engineering in the cloud include emphasizing performance requirements early in the development lifecycle\, implementing continuous testing and monitoring\, and utilizing cloud-native optimization techniques. \nCase Studies : Amazon\,Uber\, Spotify \nBy embracing performance engineering in the age of cloud\, organizations can unlock scalability and resilience\, ensuring their systems can handle the demands of the modern digital landscape while providing a seamless user experience and maintaining business continuity. \n  \n  \nAbout the Presenter: \nSanthosh Gopal is an accomplished IT Performance Engineering Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience in designing and implementing innovative IT solutions.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Predicting carbon footprint for Cloud Data Platforms
DESCRIPTION:Differences in architecture\, scalability\, the efficiency of optimizer plans\, and workload management of Cloud data platforms all directly impact the power consumption and carbon emissions associated with running workloads in the cloud. \nGartner predicts that by 2025\, the carbon emissions of Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) will be one of the top criteria in cloud purchase decisions. Even if the providers claim to be carbon neutral (because they pay the offsetting taxes)\, Cloud customers care about the efficiency with which their workloads execute in the cloud. Gartner expects carbon footprint measurement technologies to see significant adoption as organizations broaden their focus to all emission types and increase reporting transparency. Ignoring carbon emissions during Cloud data platform selection will affect the carbon footprint and the company’s sustainability. \nThe power consumption and carbon footprints of Cloud data platforms depend on both software and hardware performance\, based on the resource consumption profiles of each business workload. \nDuring this webinar\, we will review a methodology that we use to predict the following: \n● the minimum cloud data platform configuration needed to support business Service Level Goals (SLGs) and\n● project the power consumption and carbon footprints for complex\, small and medium complexity Data Warehouses\nThe methodology we use is then illustrated using case studies of the Vantage\, Snowflake and Redshift platforms in an AWS environment. A similar approach can be applied to other cloud data platforms and CSPs. \n  \nYou Will Learn\n● Workload characterization in Cloud environments\n● Predicting the minimum configuration needed to meet SLGs for all workloads\n● How to estimate the power consumption and carbon emission by business workloads in cloud environment \n  \nGeared To\n● Enterprise /cloud architect\n● Decision recommenders/decision makers \n  \nPresenter\nDr. Boris Zibitsker is the founder and CEO of BEZNext. He focuses on developing cloud performance and financial optimization software to assist with cloud migration and dynamic capacity management in Hybrid Multi-Cloud environments. He is a member of SPEC Research Group. Boris consults with many Fortune 500 companies.\nPrior to founding BEZNext Boris was a CTO of Modeling and Optimization at Compuware.

SUMMARY:Faster: How to Optimize a System - An Author Webinar
DESCRIPTION:CMG member Cary Milsap has published his book\, Faster: How to Optimize a System\, to help others with one of a technologists most challenging problems. Join us February 24th to hear from Cary and learn more! \n  \nRegister! \n  \nAbout Faster: How to Optimize a System: \nMaking things faster is about making things better. Making life better. The faster your tools can work\, the more time you have for doing the things you want to be doing. If your tools help you process information\, then the faster they work\, the better decisions you can make. \nOptimizing—whether a computer\, or a plow\, or anything in between—requires two separate skill sets: one\, asking the right questions; and two\, of course\, answering those questions. Most people who think about optimizing are well aware of this second skill set. Fewer seem aware of the first one. But this first one—the mere act of asking the right questions—is the skill you need to develop first\, especially if you’re a leader. You might be surprised at how quickly you’ll be able to learn it. \nThere’s a problem\, though. The questions I’ll teach you to ask are simple. But anyone who’s ever met an inquisitive child knows that simple questions aren’t always easy to answer. For example\, the people who look after your company’s computer may know exactly what the system’s CPU utilization looks like at 2:00 p.m. on a given Friday\, but they may not be able to answer how long it takes a clerk to enter an order. There’s a mismatch between the answers they’ll want to give and the questions you’ll want to ask. This mismatch itself hides opportunities to make things faster. I’ll teach you how to find them. \nOptimizing is often more political than technical. It’s curious\, then\, that books about optimizing are almost always only technical. It’s easy for technical people to regard the non-technical elements of a project as unnecessary and maybe even ridiculous disruptions. But the fact is\, the non-technical aspects of optimizing require understanding and effort\, just like the technical aspects do. To optimize something\, sometimes you have to confront the monsters created by panic and fear\, in addition to being productive technically. A strong track record of successes will help you win debates about what to do next\, but you’ll never be able to create that track record without exercising some political savvy. \nMy goal with this book is to help you improve both kinds of skills: the asking and the answering\, the political and the technical. The payoff potential is huge. When you understand both the science of performance and the art of navigating the desires and emotions of the people who care about it\, then you can optimize anything. \nAbout Cary \nCary Millsap spent the 1990s learning a lifetime’s worth of lessons about software performance as a consultant for Oracle Corporation. In his ten years at Oracle\, he personally helped over a hundred customers\, and he created an elite 85-person team who have helped hundreds more. \nCary left Oracle in 1999 to start a family and a new company. He spent the next two decades teaching\, consulting\, writing software\, and being there for some of the best baseball and volleyball games ever played. \nIn three decades\, he has educated thousands of IT professionals through his commitment to writing\, teaching\, and speaking at public events. His new book\, Faster: How to Optimize a System\, is for anybody who is curious about performance and how to improve it.

As a global citizen as well as a FinTech executive\, Robin constantly experiences the difference and deeply understand the digital payment divergence. In this lecture\, she will walk you through the payment evolution from cash to cashless\, how and why there is such a distinctive divergence between the evolution of the west and the east. To understand the root cause\, we will need to trace back to the essentials\, which is\, how the banking system works\, where the true asset is physically and digitally stored in custody\, and how financial institutions choose to share or not to share individual’s information. \nAs of this moment\, Paypal with millions of users announce the adoption of bitcoin\, and the market capitalization of Square once exceeds that of American Express. Beyond divergence\, she foresees the trend as an emerging smarter and more credible digital payment integration. She explains how they started their payment startup\, iSunOne\, to enable digital payment on both smartphone and through debit card. Built on the immutable blockchain\, iSunOne realizes asset instant payment\, instant swap\, and instant investment. \nAbout the Presenter:\nBin “Robin” Xie \nBin “Robin” Xie specializes in turnkey solutions and startup success. Her experience includes FinTech\, strategic investing\, commodities and derivatives\, cryptocurrency and blockchain. She firmly believes that the financial services should not only benefit the elites\, but also the unbanked and underprivileged. That is the main reason she ventured into blockchain technology with an aim to create credibility in the erratic environment we live in. In TIDEiSun\, they utilize blockchain and cryptocurrency in a wide array of ways — to achieve financial inclusion for 2 billion underbanked population beyond borders\, to create smart contracts\, machine auditing and mutual insurance service\, to support time-based distribution of streaming and advertisement solutions\, and more. Currently\, TIDEiSun operates as one of the largest safest cryptocurrency to fiat currency exchange platform in Asia as TideBit. They build the global digital asset management platform\, iSunOne — Spend anywhere\, save anytime\, and send to anyone. https://isun.one \nBefore TIDEiSun\, she was in a hedge fund evaluating blockchain projects for investment. She has years of executive management experience in NYSE-listed Fortune 500 companies. \n  \n\n  \n \nBlockchain and Banking 4.0\nPresenter: Effendy Zulkifly\, Founder of Crypto Valley Malaysia / CEO of Blockworq\nOne of the industries that could especially benefit from blockchain is the financial world.

SUMMARY:Using “z” data for Mainframe analytics & The loss to your business if you do not
DESCRIPTION:  \nUsing “z” data for Mainframe analytics \n& \nThe loss to your business if you do not \n  \nAbstract \nDoes your organization use mainframe data to conduct mainframe analytics and include business data? \nIn most instances the answer is “No”\, or “kind of”. Considering 80%+ of production data touches the mainframe\, shouldn’t this very valuable resource be used? \nWhy is z data not included more for Analytical\, AI/BI machine learning requirements? Without z data\, is like flying a plane with no navigation system! \nThis 45-minute discussion will highlight the obstacles of why companies struggle in combing data from different platforms\, what data to collect & how to use it for analytical purposes. \nDo not under estimate the difference z data can make to your organizations analytical processes and the advantage this will bring over the competition. \nBrian Hoare’s Bio \nBrian Hoare has seen the z platform grow from OS/390 to today’s z/OS. He may speak with a “strange accent” and 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.

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:ONLINE: Data Optimization: What's with the Resurgence of Mainframe In-Memory Processing?
DESCRIPTION:What’s with the Resurgence of Mainframe In-Memory Processing? \nMany companies face a conundrum when it comes to their mainframe. They need to continue to innovate and build new apps at the same time as they feel they are constrained by capacity and performance. There is no magic bullet. It takes a combination of tools\, people\, and processes to truly extract maximum value out of an organization’s mainframe. This Webinar will explore this often misunderstood technology and how it can work with things like IBM’s new Tailored Fit Pricing (TFP) pricing models to let you get the most out of your Z investment and drive performance and capacity for new workloads and apps. \nAttendees will learn: \n\nWhat Mainframe In-Memory Processing is.\nWhat it isn’t.\nWhy is Mainframe In-Memory Processing such a Hot Topic Today?\nHow to make use of it and other tools to get your Mainframe ready for new projects and workloads\n\n\nNote: This session is open to members and non-members but members get access to all recordings\, presentation decks\, and videos-on-demand.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Achieving Continuous Compliance at the Speed of Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Using public clouds for enterprise datacenters has become mainstream and hybrid multi-cloud is the new norm.  The advantages of public cloud are significant and the gained agility undisputable.  However\, securing cloud environments is different from securing traditional data centers and endpoints.  One misconfiguration can put your entire organization at risk…or worse.  According to Gartner\, “Through 2025\, at least 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault.” \nThe dynamic nature of the cloud requires continuous assessment and automation to avoid misconfigurations\, compromises and breaches.  It is also difficult to maintain complete visibility of cloud assets across rapidly changing environments\, limiting your ability to enforce security standards at scale.  On top of these challenges\, cloud governance is critical for maintaining corporate and regulatory compliance and security policies as they evolve. \nThis session will investigate those challenges\, and present “6-Steps to Cloud Compliance Automation” that can be used to develop your Cloud Security Posture Management framework. \nMembers\, click here for video: Achieving Continuous Compliance at the Speed of Cloud \nNote: Members get access to all recordings\, presentation decks\, and videos-on-demand.
