Novell ZENworks Patch Management Best PracticesNovell
Since the first virus arrived on the IT scene, patching software has been a costly and time-consuming IT focus. In fact, “Patch Tuesdays” have come to symbolize the drain software patches place on organizations of every description. Attend this session to find out how Novell ZENworks Patch Management—working hand-in-hand with Novell ZENworks Configuration Management—can make Patch Tuesdays a thing of the past. You'll learn about the benefits of integrated patch and configuration management. You'll also receive tips, tricks and inside information to successfully deploy and troubleshoot Novell ZENworks 10 Patch Management and realize its true potential.
Understanding software licensing with IBM Power Systems PowerVM virtualizationJay Kruemcke
One of the key benefits of combining workloads in a virtualized environment is the ability to pay for less than the full capacity of the machine. Unfortunately there are many misconceptions about how software licensing really works in these environments.
The IBM Power Systems PowerVM virtualization technology offers a great deal of flexibility, but that flexibility also results in complexity when determining software license requirements. This presentation covers important licensing considerations for the IBM Power Systems environment.
Tips, Tricks and Cool Solutions for Novell ZENworks Configuration ManagementNovell
If you are deploying Novell ZENworks Configuration Management—whether you're in the early stages or just applying the finishing touches—this session we'll prepare you with the knowledge needed for success.

Getting the most out of the many features in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management starts with designing and implementing your configuration management infrastructure based on best practices. Attend this session to learn from the experts who wrote the Novell ZENworks Configuration Management Systems Deployment and Best Practices Guide, and make sure your design is ready for the real world.
PowerVM Live Partition Mobility in IBM PureFlexLuca Comparini
Technical overview in relation to the IBM PowerVM Live Partition Mobility (LPM): LPM is an IBM PowerVM® feature capable of migrating a running partition from one IBM Power Systems™ server to another; migration is performed without disrupting the transactions and the applications that are running on the partition, in other words transparently for the business.
LPM is not a business continuity feature. LPM improves the serviceability and maintainability of an environment running on Power Systems servers. In other words, this feature is designed to make the IT manager's life easier, when a planned maintenance is scheduled because it is capable of reducing the downtime to zero for a planned maintenance activity. Reasons for using LPM also include workload consolidation (from many servers to one), workload balancing (distribute workloads across a pool of servers), and workload resilience in response to a Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) event.

We'll also discuss prerequisites, environmental preparation, migration strategies and post-migration cleanup. Handouts containing a pre-migration discovery survey and a migration checklist will be provided.
Run Book Automation with PlateSpin OrchestrateNovell
his session will describe how to use PlateSpin Orchestrate for tasks beyond virtualization management. Run Book Automation can support the IT operation in a variety of processes, including monitoring, ticket enrichment, problem diagnosis, change and repair, optimization and virtualization, system management and disaster recovery. IDC predicts that data center management will be required to implement higher automation in all fields of system operation.
This session will show what the typical use cases for Run Book Automation are, how PlateSpin Orchestrate fits the requirement for an automation implementation platform, and where in the enterprise IT infrastructure it can be implemented organically and in manageable steps.
A number of implementation examples, such as a disaster recovery implementation for SAP components, prove that automation is not necessarily a huge step, and that even limited projects can lead to a quick return on investment. Implementation details in code and project examples, a technical demo and a tour of the existing example code will conclude the session.
