Managing Enterprise Applications
MEA-1-U The presentation will talk about what are some of the important elements in a good system documentation. With UML diagrams gaining popularity and acceptance, how can UML diagrams help us do a better job in the documentation area. MEA-2-U Mayo Clinic has successfully moved in to a “chartless” medical practice. NonStop technology is used for major portion of Mayo's electronic medical record. This 15 year journey, starting with a 4 processor VLX is now a 2 node, 24 processor 88000 primary with a second 2 node, 24 processor business continuity system. The presentation will introduce the audience to Mayo and the patient care process. The work processes that are replaced by the NonStop technology will be described to set the stage for why Mayo is striving to reduce downtimes to a minimum. Another aspect of medical care is the richness and variety of information stored in a medical record. It comes from many sources, both human and computerized. Significant effort is expended in collecting and disseminating the medical information. The presentation will describe the trials and tribulations of driving downtime out of our practice, utilizing the backup system. We have now completed 3 system switches in 15 minutes or less. This did not happen overnight. We are not at the end of our journey, as we have a goal of a planned 5 minute switch in 2006. Our final goal is to drive planned downtime to 0. MEA-3-U This presentation will highlight our success with Virtual Tape Server, and will provide information on how to adopt VTS technology in an effective, effortless manner. It will review considerations to keep in mind prior to purchasing a system (racks, tape libraries, etc…) and explain how SSF has configured the VTS to be as fault tolerant as possible. MEA-4-U This presentation will review the issues and lessons learned from managing globally located multiple NonStop Servers as follows: MEA-5-U Securing essential business application servers and confidential customer data is key to Vodacom's success. During routine audits potential risks and areas of concern were identified and an official project to enhance security on Vodacom's HP NonStop servers and mission critical applications was launched. MEA-6-U ASAP is the premier tool for collecting system and application metrics in near real time. Learn useful tips about extending this into a hybrid environment to monitor both NonStop and Linux systems and creating additional metric types. Find out about plug-ins that can monitor pathway applications, generate real time metric over timeline graphs, and aggregate and transform ASAP application metrics across systems and applications.
MEA-7-U Combining all the latest features newly developed for Safeguard with some older tried and true techniques, learn how to make your Safeguard security implementation bulletproof. You do not need lots of feature-heavy third-party software to do this; instead some smarts and some structure can get you a simple, self-maintaining, and completely secure Safeguard security solution. OSS ACLs too. MEA-8-U Capacity Model for the Application Lifecycle. A Platform independent Concept to Capacity Modeling NonStop server environments naturally act in areas of the (financial) industry where transaction rates and volumes are the order of the day. In these environments, a good process of capacity management and a up to date capacity model is very important in delivering the committed service levels in terms of throughput and response times. Capacity Model for the Application Lifecycle will discuss a concept for the modelling of applications, preferably as early as possible, in the Application Lifecycle. The resulting capacity model predicts the necessary IT infrastructure capacity (ie., number of cpu's, disks, communication lines) of a totally new built or changing of an existing application before going life with the application. Using this capacity model results in better control over the IT infrastructure costs. In fact, by using the capacity model during the application development works as resource-cost-butgets for the developers. Therefore as a result the quality of the software increases at lower IT infrastructural costs. The presentation will discuss a number of Capacity model variants (i.e. for sizing and prognosis purposes). The concept to capacity modeling is platform independent, but will be demonstrated by means of Dutch (NonStop) case study examples.
MEA-9-U Learn how Sabre was able to modify their multi-node database environment to improve planned switchover outage times from hours to minutes to seconds. The Consolidated Customer Content and Fulfillment Services applications have multiple terabyte databases spanning nodes. Numerous critical system applications are supported on these same nodes. See how they were managed the process to obtain the ultimate in continuous availability. MEA-10-HP This session is designed to introduce the user to the manageability products available for the NonStop™ server. An overview of the following topics will be given: Manageability Strategy for HP NonStop, OSM, ASAP, Web ViewPoint, HP OpenView and partnering for customer choice. MEA-11-HP Storage Area Networks (SAN) can deliver significant benefits to the enterprise. This presentation recommends the best practices for NonStop Enterprise Storage/SAN planning and implementation. MEA-12-HP * This session describes how to change your Operations shop so that enterprise operators who are not NonStop experts can manage the NonStop server. It highlights the latest features of the OpenView NonStop Server Management and OpenView NonStop Server Performance Management (OVNM/OVNPM) agents and shows customers how they can integrate the NonStop Server into the rest of the enterprise, move out the “glass house” to manage systems remotely, detect application and infrastructure problems across the enterprise, find performance bottlenecks and more using the HP OpenView Operations Console. MEA-13-ISV This talk previews new products available through HP NonStop to help financial and retail businesses monitor ATM and POS device status across the enterprise. These products plug-in to OpenView seamlessly and work with BASE24 application environments. This talk will explain the features of the new products and how they can benefit a customer's business. MEA-14-HP * Find out the latest about HP NonStop Open System Management (OSM), including the OSM Migration Program. OSM provides the serviceability support for Integrity NonStop servers.

MEA-17-HP ISEE is new for NonStop servers. This talk is a technical presentation of how ISEE works with the NonStop platform and what we have planned for the future. Want to know more about ISEE – its security considerations, the lifecycle of a NonStop incident, and the protocols used? This talk is for you. MEA-18-HP Learn what new features TMF has added in the past year (TMF 3.4) and our plans for the future to increase the NonStop servers' performance and availability. MEA-19-U Much has been said recently about implementing NonStop systems as a set of cooperating nodes in an active/active configuration, and many such systems are now in production. Such configurations can achieve uptimes measured in centuries - in effect, virtually 100% uptime. However, there are many additional benefits of a multinode architecture. These include: This presentation explores these advantages of multinode configurations. It also delves into the economics of these systems in terms of total cost of ownership (TCO) as compared to monolithic architectures (i.e., the costs of multinode systems compared to monolithic systems). MEA-20-U During this presentation, the FAA will describe the migration process and explain how they ensured project success. Some of the specific questions that will be answered during this session include the following: MEA-21-HP For decades, NonStop Remote Database Facility has ensured the availability of Enscribe and SQL databases for many of HP's most demanding OLTP customers. The latest version, RDF 1.7, was released last December for the HP Integrity NonStop platform. Come hear product experts present the top features you can take advantage of now, get a preview of next release features, and see some examples of best practices you could be implementing. The panel will include product management, development, and global support representatives MEA-22-U This presentation is an in-depth presentation on Availability and where to focus development and management activities to achieve maximum availability in the IT Environment. It will present information on recent Standish Group research where more than 2000 applications were tracked and logged over the course of one year yielding over 48,000 downtime entries. This presentation discuss the complex task of measuring downtime it different IT environments such as Clusters and Server Farms. Further in the discussion it is widely accepted that NonStop platforms lead the industry in availability. This presentation will discuss the impact that the the new HP Integrity platforms will have on that reputation.
