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 Linux Performance Suite (ESALS)
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 ESALPS.
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 under z/VM Performance Analysis Case Studies Analyzing performance problems in Linux and z/VM can often lead to surprises - or to an installation not following or not being aware of "best practices". This will show samples of both.
