This is a call for topics for the upcoming Server Manageability Roundtable that I will be running at UKOUG Conference 2009 Technology and E-Business Suite. I should have probably blogged earlier about this but better later than never…
The Server Manageability Roundtable is on Monday, 30-Nov, at 16:25 in the foyer on the 5th level. It’s a bit late and I should have probably proposed to change the venue to the nearby pub but it’s too late now so let’s make it the last effort for the day and then…
The topic is quite broad so we will obviously need to focus on the most relevant areas for the attendees and this is the chance to state your interest so please comment away!
Here are the topics that I think might be particularly interested:
- Oracle Enterprise Manager — experience, deployment issues, success stories, strengths and weaknesses.
- Impact of virtualization and cloud computing — does it make it easier to manage our infrastructure?
- Costs cutting by manageability improvements — myth or reality?
- Managing highly available environment — human factors.
Make sure to leave a comment below whether you have something to say on the topics above or something completely new. Sharing your experience would be fantastic! Thanks in advance for all contributions and I promise I’ll write up the report on this round-table.
I recently nominated my colleague and good friend Christo Kutrovsky for the Oracle ACE program. Today, I’m excited to share that he has been accepted and is now part of the community of 200+ Oracle ACEs and Oracle ACE Directors.
Christo has been an active blogger on our blog and has made numerous top-class presentations at Oracle Conference world-wide. He has also been an active contributor on the Oracle-L list.
Christo has been always representing an independent voice in the community and it’s a pleasure to have him on board. I’m looking forward to his contributions to the Oracle ACE program and the Oracle community at large.
Welcome Christo!
Now that our new web-site is live I’d like to do the first blog post on it!
You shouldn’t be surprised if you notice that it’s difficult to locate your DBAs in the first week of December (i.e. in just two weeks from now)! And you know why? Because you need to be looking in the right place to find them.
You are likely to know already that I’ll be going to the UKOUG Conference Technology & E-Business Suite 2009 and present few sessions. Few more people from Pythian are actually coming as well:
- Christo Kutrovsky is coming to present with a smashing topic — “RAC + ASM: 3 years in production – Stories to share”. It’s on Wednesday at 12:50pm.
- Paul Vallee is coming to cut some slack. Last year it’s been his first UKOUG conference and you bet he liked it so much that he couldn’t afford to miss it this year. It happens to many… Did I tell you that I didn’t miss a single one since I first came in 2006?
That’s all for now folks. Make sure you say hello to us if you are at the UKOUG. The simplest way to reach us is Twitter — @alexgorbachev, @paulvallee and @kutrovsky.
