OS/390, Parallel Sysplex 
& Workload Manager class

The nature of mainframe computing is changing rapidly. For the lowest costs and best long-term software options, you should now be considering, or already converted to OS/390 and running a sysplex or parallel sysplex. How to select hardware and software, how to convert to this environment, and how to tune it to run most effectively - that's what you'll learn in this four and a half-day seminar. We feel it's the most comprehensive single course on these subjects offered today. It covers OS/390, SP 5, sysplex, parallel sysplex, data sharing, workload manager, sizing CMOS processors, APPC/MVS and OpenEdition MVS (now UNIX System Services), with special emphasis on migration, capacity planning and performance. 

Cheryl has developed this popular vendor-independent seminar to help you prepare for these new facilities. A major section of the course describes a "quickstart policy" to get you into goal mode on the new Workload Manager. You use your own IPS, ICS and OPT parmlib members and RMF or CMF reports to analyze your installation. You learn how to size the new CMOS processors, a process now based on workloads instead of total capacity. 

This is a video tape of an actual 4.5 day class held October 5-9,1998 in Sarasota, FL. Take a look at the topics and decide now to put Cheryl Watson on your team!
