An Introduction to Web Analytics for Performance Analysts and
Capacity Planners
Speaker: Dr. Anna Long, Web
Analytica
While web analytics -- the measurement and analysis of web-related
activity -- is often considered the realm of marketing, there are
important reasons for performance analysts and capacity planners to
understand web analytics as well. This session will describe
how major web analytics tools work, highlighting factors that can
affect performance and system capacity requirements. Then it will
explain how these tools help analysts and planners take quick action
when activity spikes, build more realistic benchmark and stress test
workloads, and gain insights into trends for workload forecasting.

The Penguins Have Landed - Getting started with Linux on System z
Speaker: Michael Giglio,
Shelter Insurance
Linux for System z has been around for a decade. Lots of companies
are running tens or hundreds of Linux virtual servers on a single
IBM mainframe. Many enterprises have exploited this technology for
server consolidation, cost savings, “green technology” and reducing
the size of their data center. This presentation describes the path
Shelter Insurance is taking to implement and exploit Linux on System
z. This implementation is more of a journey that a destination,
with plans to continue exploring virtualized environments.
