This presentation will give you an Overview of the Virtualization
Engine (VE) for zSeries. VE is a collection of products that can be
used to manage your enterprise from health monitoring, system
cloning, workload management and more. This presentation will give
you a high level technical overview of products that make up
Virtualization Engine which are Enterprise Workload Manager (EWLM),
IBM Director, and Resource Dependency Services (RDS). We will discuss
capabilities of the products and how they can help you to manage your
enterprise. We will also discuss the VE Console which can be the main
entry point into the VE management collection.
The speaker will be Mr. Kevin Curley of the IBM Corporation.
10:30 AM Coffee Break
11:00 AM System z9 Technology Announcements
IBM is extending the System z9 to work for businesses large and
small, delivering more choice and greater flexibility with the new
IBM System z9 Business Class (z9 BC) and the improved IBM System z9
Enterprise Class (z9 EC). System z9 BC is IBM's latest offering.
Designed for smaller enterprises, it delivers key mainframe strengths
such as availability, scalability and security in a customized
package. And on the System z9 EC, IBM has improved granularity, so
you now have the ability to select the configuration that's right for
you. Come and hear the latest news on the System z9 Technology Announcements.
The speaker will be Mr. Mike Sharp of the IBM Corporation.

The speaker will present a brief update of recent developments in the
Linux under z/VM area.
The speaker will be Mr. Donald India of the IBM Corporation.
2:00 PM Secure Socket Layer on z/VM
In October of 2000, IBM announced an SSL server for VM. This
implementation was done using LINUX on VM. I will discuss:
* What is SSL?
* How is the VM SSL Server set up?
* Steps to make it work.
This will give you a better understanding of SSL and SSL on VM.
The speaker will be Mr. Will Roden of the IBM Corporation.
3:15 PM Coffee Break
3:30 PM Negotiating Topics
Everyone negotiates. Some do it well, and some do not. I have found
that it takes years to learn to negotiate well and different
techniques are needed depending on the situation. This presentation
will discuss some of the basics of negotiating along with several
techniques and considerations. This session will start you down the
road to conducting better negotiations.
The speaker will be Mr. Will Roden of the IBM Corporation.
4:45 PM Free-for-All
Members will attempt to answer any reasonable VM or hardware related
questions. If you are having a problem and want to find out if others
are experiencing it, or you are installing new hardware or software
and want to find out what types of problems others have experienced,
here is the place to find out.
Members are encouraged to bring ideas for future presentations and
speakers to this meeting.
