Capacity Management:
Living within Your Means, Chris Molloy
In today's economic
environment, IT organizations continue to be asked to do more with
less with declining IT budgets. So what happens when your data
center is full, you don't have any money to buy a new data center or
new equipment, but still have growing IT requirements? You
inject business justified new technology at a rate equal to or
larger than your growth rate. This session discusses the
ability to create a method to understand IT growth, and then
determine the affects of technology (e.g. virtualization, data
de-duplication) to live within major IT constraints (e.g. no new
capital for data centers or equipment).
Examples of Multi-Dimensional Visualization, Amit
Sawant
This talk provides an overview of visualization and
discusses a few examples of visualizing multi-dimensional datasets.
No prior knowledge in visualization is necessary.
The advent of
computers with high processing power has led to the generation of
huge datasets containing large numbers of elements, where each
element is often characterized by multiple attributes. This has led
to a critical need for ways to explore and analyze large,
multi-dimensional information spaces. Visualization lends itself
well to this challenge by enabling users to visually explore and
analyze their data. The knowledge of perception can be used to
generate visualizations that harness the strengths of the low-level
human visual system and display data in ways that accentuate
interesting items to the user.
This presentation introduces
participants to the theory of visualization and provides various
examples of visualizing multi-dimensional datasets ranging from
performance data, memory chip test data, amazon purchase orders
data, weather data, astrophysics data, and more.
CPU QoS, Bob Sneed
This is a discussion of the
qualitative aspects of a CPU-second. These low-level metrics are
critical to understanding efficiency and capacity, yet there's no
consideration on them in mainstream CP practices!
zSeries
Hardware/Software and zLinux under z/VM, Jerry Ritchie and Don
Cox
afternoon in Raleigh will spotlight the
latest IBM mainframe technology, with IBM's Jerry Richie discussing
the latest IBM mainframe hardware and software features. He will be
followed by Don Cox, who will discuss features and implementation of
zLinux under z/VM.
