Track Sessions

• Alex Ryals - Consolidated management: the key to accelerating virtualization adoption and achieving intended ROI - Session - 3254 - Thursday (6/17), 1:30 - 2:30 PM
  
  Leading analyst firms suggest modifying your operations process, tools, and skill sets before implementing virtualization. Unfortunately, these steps are more often an afterthought than a plan. Virtualization and private cloud computing give IT organizations unprecedented agility to flex data-center resources to meet business demand. But too often, management of virtual infrastructure is spread across multiple teams, driving up costs and introducing new risk. Attend this session and learn about the most common inhibitors to virtualization deployments and about how increasing your operational process maturity can eliminate them. We'll discuss best practices for managing both your physical and virtual infrastructure from a common set of enterprise management tools using consolidated processes. Using a customer case study, we'll explain how to discover and monitor your virtual environment and orchestrate the automation of common virtualization management tasks. And you'll come away knowing how to operationalize virtualization management alongside your existing infrastructure.
  
  
• Alex Ryals - End to End Management of Blackberry Enterprise Server - Session - 1478 - Friday (6/18), 10:30 - 11:30 AM
  
  The mobile workforce continues to grow each year, and organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to monitor their Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) environments from end to end. Many solutions monitor the availability of the BES server, but make it difficult to troubleshoot performance issues because they don’t monitor other systems such as AD, SQL Server, and Exchange, which are critical components that BES depends on for end-to-end service delivery. In this session we’ll tell you how HP has partnered with RIM to deliver the new Blackberry Enterprise Server Smart Plug-in for HP Operations Manager for Windows—enabling a holistic approach to monitoring BES. You’ll see how, when coupled with other HP Smart Plug-Ins for Exchange, AD, and SQL Server, the HP Operations Manager console can show and correlate events from the entire Blackberry solution and provide true root-cause notifications. You’ll come away from the session knowing a better way to get visibility into performance and faster time to resolution.

Vivit Training Sessions

• Jake Burman - HP Operations Orchestrator: Implementation and Integration Strategies - Monday (6/14), 1:00 - 5:00 PM
  
  This four-hour session will start out with the basics, discussing what runbook automation is, discussing some practical, real-world use cases including leveraging runbook automation for security compliance and integrations, and begin training you on the industry leading runbook automation platform - HP Operations Orchestration.

  The training will start out for beginners walking through the basics of Operations Orchestration. We'll create flows from scratch and dive into the many out-of-box workflows that can be used out-of-the-box. Once we have the basics, we'll explore practical use cases and then dive into using Operations Orchestration to facilitate seamless integrations without a single line of custom code or scripting. With Operations Orchestration as the integration interface, you have an industry leading vendor-supported tool for many, or all, of your integrations needs instead of costly, hard to support point solutions. For advanced users, scripters and programmers, we'll also take a look at how to extend Operations Orchestration with custom operations.
