Upcoming Client Webinars

Date: Wednesday, February 7^th 

• Time:  11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern Time
• Title: Memory optimization when running MongoDB on Linux on IBM Z
• Register here
• Description: MongoDB is a widely adapted NoSQL database, popular for storing structured and unstructured data. In the first part of this webcast, we present the performance impact by using different 'memory-to-database size' ratios for MongoDB running in an LPAR on IBM Z. In the second part, we will present results of the performance of different compression algorithms and how we can reduce the amount of the consumed disk space by MongoDB on IBM Z.
• Presenters
• Dominic Roehm, Chief Performance Architect for Linux on IBM Z
• Philipp Leutz, Software Engineer, Linux on IBM Z Performance

 

Date: Wednesday, February 28^th

• Time:  11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern Time
• Title:  Using IBM Instana for enhanced visibility into hybrid applications on the Mainframe
• Register here
• Description: Business success depends on detecting application performance issues in mobile, cloud, or on-prem environments before customers are impacted. Yet many struggle to integrate IBM Z resources into their enterprise-wide observability solutions. In this session, we will demonstrate how IBM Instana can be deployed as comprehensive observability solution either in the cloud or self-hosted on Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE. We will also demonstrate the technical capabilities to provide complete transactional visibility from distributed applications to IBM Z, including z/OS. This enhanced visibility ensures that SREs can swiftly identify the context of application latency, and engage the correct mainframe SMEs quickly for in-depth troubleshooting.
• Presenters
• Ruediger Schulze, STSM, Observability and OpenTelemetry for IBM Z and LinuxONE
• Christopher Walker, Principal Product Manager - IBM Z AIOps portfolio
• Srirama Sharma, Technical Architect, OpenShift - Cloud Paks on IBM Z
