Performance Management for Linux Servers | What many of us are quickly learning is that in a cloud world, Linux is the preferred operating system and performance management is a critical issue for the success of any project. While provisioning may provide high availability, the result may not provide the same level of performance for the server. This section focuses on the following key areas: New Performance Metrics for Linux Servers Network connectivity and response time Connection optimization Routing in an agile environment Performance Metrics unique to public and private Linux Servers |
Introduction to Linux Performance Management | In today’s world, performance has taken on new meaning. It is no longer the domain of capacity planners sitting in cramped offices pouring over historical reports to determine needed system changes. Today, it is a fast-paced, real-time monitoring, analyzing, and reporting discipline that requires tools looking at networks, as well as across the system. Without a good performance methodology in place, technology implementation may fall flat. This section focuses on thefollowing key areas: New Performance Metrics for Networks Network connectivity and response time Connection optimization Routing in an agile environment Performance Metrics unique to public and private networks |
Diagnosing Linux Server Network Problems using Packet Trace | Rapid network problem diagnosis at the packet level is critical for optimal service delivery, especially in a cloud environment. This section focuses on th following key areas: Review the TCP/IP Protocol How to generate Packet Traces on a variety of operating systems How do analyze packet traces by looking at traces from real situations |

IPv6 Introduction | As IPv6 becomes important to your business it is essential that you have a solid background to understand how to design, implement, and trouble shoot. This section focuses on th following key areas: Changes in IPv6 compared to IPv4 Understand Why IPv6 has had a Slow Acceptance in the Enterprise Basics of Addressing Coexistence Techniques of IPv4 and IPv6 How did Adopters Justify the Move to IPv6 |
Implementing IPv6 | Implementation of the IPv6 protocol will require a well-planned transition with cooperation from many groups within an organization. In most cases this transition will begin at the edges of the network and move to the core. This strategy allows you to control deployment cost and focus on the needs of the applications, rather than a full network upgrade to a native IPv6 network. This section focuses on the following key areas: What does a Good IPv6 Implementation Plan Contain New Technologies Needed for a Transition. Best Practices in Evaluating Your Enterprise Network for Transition How to connect IPv6 Islands How to have IPv6 Only devices talk to IPv4 Key Migration Mistakes Made by Enterprises |
IPv6 Design | Now that we have covered some of the elements of IPv6 let’s take a look at the overall design principles. This section focuses on th following key areas: Access the Implications of IPv6 for your existing environment Understand Product Compliance with IPv6 What is the impact of Address Provisioning and Management Will Routing Policies Change What are the new Security Vulnerabilities How will your infrastructure design change These areas must be looked at from a business, technical and implementation perspective based on your individual needs. |
Managing an IPv6 Network | Once you begin to run an IPv6 network all the service management methodologies need to be applied. This section focuses on th following key areas: Does your Management Philosophy Change? The Importance of ICMPv6 How ICMPv6 Works resulting in Changes to Your Management Requirements How do Your Existing Management Tools Need to Change to Accept IPv6 What Are the Changes in SNMP under IPv6 |
ICMPv6 Deep Dive | As the implementation of IPv6 picks up momentum, an understanding of the changes in the overall management will be needed in order to be successful. This session focuses on ICMPv6 and some of the really great items it brings to the table. This section focuses on th following key areas: Changes in ICMPv6 compared to ICMPv4 How your Network Infrastructure Needs to change to Support ICMPv6 How to use Packet Trace to Understand ICMPv6 |
IPv6 Server Configuration | This session will discuss the configuration process of IPv6 on various operating systems including: Windows Linux z/OS |

Mainframe Networking | LPAR’s, Sysplex, TCP/IP, Enterprise Extender, VPN, are just some of the networking concepts associated with the mainframe. You attend meetings everyday where you hear these terms, but do you know what they mean? This section focuses on th following key areas: Basic Connectivity in a Mainframe How Sysplex and LPARs Expand Mainframe Networking Routing in a Mainframe VPN Implementation for a Mainframe Details on Enterprise Extender VM and KVMP Impact on Mainframe Networking |
Introduction to z/OS Communication Server | Are you relatively new to the communications area and want a better understanding of the Communications Server component of z/OS? Have you heard of TCP/IP, SNA, VTAM, APPN, OSA, etc. but wondered what relationship these things have to Communications Server? This section focuses on the folowing key areas: The speaker will cover the following topics: History of SNA and TCP/IP on the System z platform and the protocol differences Overview of VTAM and its integration into Communications Server Overview of TCP/IP and its integration into Communications Server Description of various network connectivity options Overview of selected major functions in Communications Server |
Advanced Communication Server | z/OS Communication Server provides a rich set of features for enabling enterprise-class communications within your network. Once you understand the basics let’s delve into more detail and focus attention on tips for a successful implementation. |
Communication Server IDS services | The z/OS Communications Server provides an integrated Intrusion Detection Service (IDS) for TCP/IP. Using the IDS, the Communications Server exploits its position as a communications endpoint, in order to detect attacks on z/OS that otherwise might go undetected by traditional network-based intrusion detection systems. A detailed exploration of the IDS functions will be presented. |
FTP Support in z/OS | FTP is one of the most often used applications in enterprises. This technical session will look into the following areas: Type of FTP functions FTP Flows and Controls Security and FTP Analysis of FTP metrics to resolve problems Analysis of FTP metrics to improve performance |
IPv6 z/OS Server Configuration | This session will discuss the configuration process of IPv6 on z/OS |
How to Implement Apache Tomcat on USS | This session will discuss the steps to take in installing, configuring, and tuning Apache Tomcat on USS. |
