Date: Monday, September 10, 2012

Time: 1:55 p.m. Central Time

Where: LAX Room, Hyatt Regency O’Hare

Why: Performance management in a cloud is not only a challenge, but radically changes the old notions of measuring available resource and fundamentally alters how organizations design, plan and monitor performance.

What: During this session, attendees will learn:
• the key fundamental changes that are imposed by cloud on the APM discipline;
• how they should think about application performance and monitoring going forward; and
• how this impacts the way organizations build, run and even measure success of their applications.

Session 2: MapReduce Performance Beyond Hadoop Tweaking

Date: Tuesday, September 11, 2012

Time: 3:00 p.m. Central Time

Where: Cloud Solutions Theatre, Hyatt Regency O’Hare

Why: How do organizations ensure optimal performance of their MapReduce Jobs? How do they ensure their cloud Hadoop environment is performing properly? How do you optimize a MapReduce Job without spending weeks on analysis or code changes first?

What: During this session, attendees will explore MapReduce performance from a different perspective and learn why there is more than just tweaking Hadoop’s 190 different options.
