Jim Bahn, director of product technology at Virtual Instruments, will present best practices for instrumenting, monitoring and constantly, yet unobtrusively, measuring how the cloud is impacting application performance. Bahn will address the question – “What happens when an application slows?” – and he will discuss the benefits and challenges of private cloud computing, while also addressing the importance of “seeing” inside the cloud to effectively troubleshoot problems and assure performance and availability meet application SLAs.
