Today’s infrastructure situation is increasingly becoming virtualized everything (servers, storage, desktops, networks) with clouds growing in importance has given way to the term Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). The SDDC has it’s own challenges. Challenges like whether or not to include legacy or non-virtual resources, interoperability of multiple vendors’ converged infrastructure systems, and the management of SDDC remains a mystery.
Enterprise Capacity Optimization - Capacity Management Over EverythingTeamQuest Corporation
Traditional performance analysis and capacity planning encompassed deep-dive, technology domain-specific metrics, tools and skillsets; limiting feasibility to only the largest, most critical enterprise resources. Optimizing today’s complex and dynamic environments with almost all resources dynamic and virtualized or cloud-based - requires a new process. Discover a flexible, automated and business service-aligned process. View real-world examples of businesses optimizing enterprise capacity by marrying existing technology, business, service, asset, financial, power and other metrics. This presentation was delivered at the Gartner IT Infrastructure & Operations Management Summit.
Hear a new approach to predicting IT and business performance. Join TeamQuest Director of Market Development Dave Wagner as he explains why old, traditional methods are failing.
Wagner will present what he calls the "Moneyball treatment" (loosely based on sabremetrics - an approach to measuring and analyzing complex, previously unappreciated data relationships, famously first applied to sports performance and played out in the movie, "Moneyball").
Learn ways to better identify relationships across widely disparate data sets. Predict IT and business performance based on these relationships combined with historical and current performance. Real predictions cannot be based on simple trending approaches because they don’t factor the ugly realities associated with resource contention.
Optimizing Regulatory Compliance with Big DataCloudera, Inc.
3 Things to Learn:
-There are many challenges in the way financial firms deal with regulatory compliance today
-Some of these challenges are related to data management and can be solved by big data technologies
-Cloudera and its partners Trifacta and Qlik are offering a solution that can accelerate the time to obtain compliance reports by using automated workflows and fast analytics that work on top of Cloudera’s Enterprise Data Hub.
Unlocking data science in the enterprise - with Oracle and ClouderaCloudera, Inc.
Today, leading organizations struggle to make their data scientists productive in their modern data platforms. Data scientists find it difficult to use their existing open source languages (e.g. Python, R) and libraries with Hadoop, especially when the clusters are secured with Kerberos. At the same time, IT doesn't want to give special access to these users, who require very diverse and specific environment configurations to run their experiments. As a result, most data science teams work away from the big data cluster, often on their laptops or in other data silos. The negative business impacts are a lack of insight and agility for the most advanced users, and the security, governance, and cost issues that arise from data silos.

To invest, or not to invest? That...is an easy question. Unless you have money to burn, you can't afford NOT to invest in IT Service Optimization solutions. Millions and millions of dollars are invested in IT infrastructure. If it's not optimized, it's like driving a Maserati on a dirt road.
Forewarned, forearmed...to be prepared is half the victory. Take a look at the anatomy of a disaster and the anatomy of a success. Spend more time on creating a great user experience versus having to explain why your new service isn't working as advertised. IT and business can collaborate to forecast business demand to accurately predict IT requirements to support business demand
There are hundred of thousands...if not millions of reasons to optimize IT. Downtime costs money, a lot of money. Imagine if you could achieve these results: record sales, no IT performance issues, reduce annual IT budget by 25%, have record number of transactions with no increase in call center activity, gain 4 hrs/day by preventing performance issues. Mature IT Service Optimization process improve IT Efficiency, Business Productivity, Workforce Productivity, Agility, Service Delivery Risks, and New Service Implementations.
Prevent. Resolve. Optimize.

Optimizing IT Costs & Services With Big Data (Little Effort!) - Case Studies ...TeamQuest Corporation
IT organizations have a wealth of Service Management and Service Delivery tools, processes and metrics that typically exist in relative isolation. This session will present detailed real-life examples of how existing tools and metrics can be brought together using big data techniques to optimize costs and performance of IT environments.
IT managers share that they and their organizations could be more mature in their service delivery efforts, affecting their overall IT efficiency. Companies typically tend to be more reactive in nature, allowing less than ten percent of their staff's time to be spent on proactive improvement efforts, like capacity planning and performance management. Proper capacity management has a positive impact across all IT areas, according to survey findings. Virtual machine management is not without its struggles, but proper planning is cited as a solution. Find out what else IT managers had to say about their state of capacity management and how it affects their ability to effectively plan, deliver and manage IT resources.
It is very common for an IT organization to manage system performance in a reactionary fashion, analyzing and correcting performance problems as users report them. When problems occur, hopefully system administrators have tools necessary to quickly analyze
and remedy the situation. In a perfect world, administrators prepare in advance in order to avoid performance bottlenecks altogether, using capacity planning tools to predict in advance how servers should be configured to adequately handle future workloads.
The goal of capacity planning is to provide satisfactory service levels to users in a cost effective manner. This paper describes the fundamental steps for performing capacity planning. Real life examples are provided using TeamQuest® Performance Software.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Demands on underlying IT infrastrucdture are changing dramatically due to the continued push for “Smart Grid” and Analytics systems, applications and programs
Making it much more complex to plan, manage, budget to true (and ensurable) performanceams…
Bullet OneProactively manage true performancePredictively optimize performance and capacityContinuously cost-optimize IT resource decisionsBullet TwoBusiness KPI and Financials into IT decisionsIT Performance and Capacity in Business contextBullet ThreeRepeatable, standardized, flexible, scalableGartner calls this rapidly growing arena: IT Operations Analytics – the ability for IT Operations to Automate Analytic insight into data; transforming operational disciplines like Capacity Planning, Configuration management, Financial optimization, Performance Management and more.We do this with a unique approach that brings Business Analytics and perspectives into the IT performance and capacity decision process by via three key technological differentiators:1. Continuous measurement, analysis and reporting on the real and true performance of IT resources in terms of their ability to sustain acceptable business service level performance (instead of simplistic, commodity-metric, resource utilization approaches) – after all, nobody in business or the market CARES what your IT resource utilization rates are! It’s all about the customer experience! And…2. Continuous Prediction of what business service response times and transactional throughput will be, giving IT and the Business distant early warning to not only potential disruptions, but detailed insight into precisely which resources will be the problem, when and why – from Servers, Virtual Servers and applications down to the storage they depend upon, And finally…3. Marrying these IT analytics with: a) financial costs (CapEx and OpEx) associated with the IT resources needed to sustain the business, b) Business KPIs and other insights obtained through the use of Business Intelligence Analytics tools and initiatives.Our solution ensures bi-directional alignment: so that IT analysis and decisions can be both made – and communicated – in proper business contextFinally our solution’s comprehensive automation ensures adaptability to the needs of IT and the business, while proven scalable to the largest of IT environments (we have customers with 10’s of thousands of physical/virtual servers, many hundreds of applications, huge amounts of storage….), yet not requiring massive investments in staff/expertiseAdditional Talking points if/when needed that go “down another level”:1) Managing based on metrics that matterUnlike all other IT Performance or Capacity Management solutions, we uniquely optimize and manage based on application latency (“response time”) and throughput (how much business work is getting done, or not). This is the only thing business, customers and the market really care about. (if needed can go into further details like how leading Virtualization analysts like Bernd Harzog state how critical this will be to managing the complexity of “virtualized everything” (aka: SDDC), etc…)2) Based on flexible, scalable, open and agile IT Analytics that adapt across the enterpriseOur analytics are fully automated, exception-based, and flexible; with proven scalability to the largest of environments without requiring massive investments in staff/expertiseWe unify IT Performance management with a true enterprise-wide perspective, ending the cross domain “finger pointing” and costly, time-wasting “tiger team” diagnosis meetings when trying to optimize, diagnose, or manage complex virtual/cloud server/storage environmentsBecause our analytics are open and agile, and integrate with customers existing tools, data, and processes, there is not only no “rip and replace” required, there is extremely rapid realization of value and ROI as well as the comfort of investment protection (again if needed could cite WF example here)
Our way is better, faster, and more cost effective than the alternatives to Build a huge “data mart” (i.e. PMDB)Complexity = (data ETL) x (# sources) x (maint. effort) x (SDDC variability/dynamism) x … + Compliance: Data duplication, privacy, audit, etc… + Lock in”= Very costly and time-consumingOr Apply general purpose BI analytics to IT challenges they aren’t designed to handleAnswers Business questions, but…Not focused on IT Resource optimization, performance, capacityAgility? Core competence?
First, discuss these two examples. Then…These and our other successful customers achieve these types of results by (seque to next slide)
