Velocity Software offers free performance seminars covering z/VM and Linux on System z. These seminars help installations obtain optimal performance from z/VM and Linux on System z environments.
As a hypervisor, z/VM manages real resources between virtual servers. Incorrect configuration of one virtual server can impact the performance of others. Proper configuration and tuning of both Linux and z/VM is necessary to ensure consistent performance of all virtual servers.
Thousands of VM professionals in over 50 cities worldwide have attended Velocity seminars. These informative classes teach techniques for correctly configuring resources and tuning parameters to meet z/VM and Linux performance requirements.
Our seminars are appropriate for both experts and novices.
Topics Presented
Managing Linux under z/VM using the Velocity Performance Suite
(zVPS)
Managing Linux on a mainframe requires capacity planning,
performance analysis, chargeback, and operational support. This
next topic describes the technologies employed by Velocity
Software's zVPS.
VM and Linux Configuration
Guidelines
Many installations have failed in their proof of concept
because of simple configuration errors. Linux on System z is NOT
Linux on Intel, and is NOT z/VM for traditional CMS workloads.
The requirements are very different. On System Z, we have
technologies that other platforms can only dream of - and
utilizging those technologies often means the difference between
success and failure. This topic presents:
Analyzing and Tuning Linux Storage in z/VM Environment. Running Linux under z/VM well requires an understanding of Linux storage and the tuning options that exist. This presentation looks at:
Linux and z/VM Accounting and Chargeback This presentation is provided to answer today's most common question of how to perform accounting and chargeback for linux processes, applications and/or servers.
Enabling the cloud for Linux (and VSE) on "z". With cloud being the big new buzword, and skills being short, installations are looking at how technology can leverage existing skills to take advantage of what z/VM has to offer for virtualization. This presentation looks at today's requirements and at how zPRO removes the skill barrier to implementing cloud on z/VM.
