Abstract:

Many installations have failed in their proof of concept because of simple errors in the configuration. Linux on System z is NOT Linux on Intel. The requirements are different. But on System z, we have technologies that other platforms can only dream of - and utilizing those technologies often means the difference between success and failure. This presentation provides configuration guidelines on how to configure Linux for performance and success.

Barton Robinson is CEO and Chief Architect of Velocity Software Inc, and now Velocity Software GmbH. Barton is a regular speaker on VM and Linux performance topis at SHARE, CMG, IBM Conferences and other user groups. With 30 years of experience with VM and more than 25 with VM performance, Barton is heavily involved in performance research to understand how to make Linux run most effectively on z/VM.This research als includes being a participant in many of IBM's Linux on VM Redbook residencies, as well as working with hundreds of installations on their performance problems. Barton is the architect of ESALPS, Velocity Software's product suite for z/VM and Linux performance measurement and capacity planning. ESALPS includes ESATCP for network and Linux measurements, and ESAWEB, a VERY fast web server for VM.
