System Center Operations Manager is a big deal.
On April 24th, Erik Gilreath discussed SCOM and uncovered: why SCOM is so rarely installed, why that's a mistake, easy steps to install, what you should be doing with it, and what it can do that other people's products can't.
How to Extend Microsoft SCOM to Monitor & Diagnose the Performance of Citrix,...eG Innovations
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) is a leading platform for performance monitoring and management of Microsoft applications (such as Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange Server, IIS and SharePoint). However, SCOM does not have extensive capabilities to monitor non-Microsoft systems and applications (like Citrix, SAP, Oracle, Java, Sybase, etc.), nor does SCOM have virtualization-awareness for platforms like VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, AIX LPARs and Solaris LDOMs, or virtual desktops (VDI).
To extend the scope of Microsoft SCOM to manage these environments, enterprises have to look at multiple third party products that provide individual management packs, one for each specific non-Microsoft platform. This traditional "multi-pack approach" creates complexity and only provides a fragmented view of the IT infrastructure. This approach leads to slow problem isolation and diagnosis, and often results in poor user experience and loss of user productivity.
Join performance monitoring expert Srinivas Ramanathan (CEO, eG Innovations) to learn about eG Enterprise for SCOM, a new universal management pack that fills this gap and provides a single, integrated solution with SCOM to address the performance management needs of today's enterprises. This webinar presentation will show you how to:
• Monitor and troubleshoot the entire IT service infrastructure end to end from the SCOM console
• Monitor applications and platforms not natively supported by System Center Operations Manager
• Instantly diagnose and get actionable insight into IT service health and performance
• Provide automatic, rapid root cause diagnosis for even the most complex performance problems
• Receive proactive problem detection and alerting before users call
• Maximize the return on your investment in System Center Operations Manager

System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager (SCCM) with Windows IntuneAmit Gatenyo
Microsoft has a history of providing rich IT-infrastructure solutions to help manage every aspect of enterprise operations. Microsoft’s people-centric solution consists of products and technologies that can help IT departments handle the influx of consumer-oriented technology and the work style expectations of users, thereby helping increase productivity and satisfaction for the people within their organizations.
Microsoft’s people-centric IT vision helps organizations enable and embrace the consumerization of IT by:
1. Enabling your end users by allowing users to work on the device(s) of their choice and providing consistent access to corporate resources from those devices.
2. Helping protect your data by protecting corporate information and managing risk.
3. Unifying your environment by delivering comprehensive application and device management from both your existing on-premises infrastructure, including System Center Configuration Manager, Windows Server, and Active Directory, as well as cloud-based services, including Windows Intune and Windows Azure.
Let’s discuss each of these areas in more detail.
System Center Configuration Manager is in Gartner’s leader’s quadrant for client management tools.
Why?
View C/D/H’s slide deck, as we delve into SCCM's strengths and weaknesses, including how to take advantage of its feature set. And in this special, double session we'll also cover SCCM 2012's tight integration with Endpoint Protection anti-malware, and mobile device management (MDM).
We know MDM is a growing concern with the consumerization of IT and BYOD. Find out how System Center and other, third-party solutions can help!

ענן פרטי וענן ציבורי: לא שני עולמות מתחרים אלא שני מימדים לאותו העולםAmit Gatenyo
ענן פרטי או ענן ציבורי – איזה מהם מהווה את האופציה החכמה, הכדאית והזולה ביותר? הוויכוח החם שמתקיים כיום בתעשייה סביב שאלה זאת מפספס את המהות האמיתית. אלו לא שני עולמות מתחרים, אלא שני מימדים לאותו העולם.
למעשה, ארגונים לא צריכים להחליט בין ענן ציבורי לפרטי, אלא לעמוד על השאלה כיצד השילוב בין השניים ישרת את העסק שלהם בצורה הטובה ביותר. המטרה הינה לשלב On-Premises עם Off-Premises לכדי סביבה אחת אשר מנוהלת כסביבה אחת - זהו החזון אשר בסופו של דבר יאומץ על ידי רוב הארגונים.
בהרצאה זאת עמית גטניו יפרט מדוע עננים ציבוריים חייבים לווייני On-Premises כדי לנצח ויסביר מדוע סביבות ה-On-Premises לא מסוגלות להיות באמת חזקות ללא חיבור לענן ציבורי.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
