Abstract
Dayton Semerjian, General Manager of CA Technologies Mainframe business, will address the challenges, opportunities and innovations in this next generation of mainframe management.
Dr. Howard Rubin discusses the real economics of how organizations with significant mainframe and distributed computing environments can optimize their computing while minimizing their expense.  Dr. Rubin, Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Hunter College of CUNY,  MIT CISR Research Affiliate, Gartner Senior Advisor and CEO of Rubin Worldwide, is a pioneer in the area of technology economics and has built the world's largest database in the field consisting of business, national, and technology data.
Moore’s Law (a doubling of capacity approximately every two years), has been an ally in helping CIO’s manage the dynamics of upward demand and downward cost pressure for years but market forces are overwhelming the effects of Moore’s Law and a new “Law” is now required to understand what’s next: “Rubin’s Law.” Hear from renowned expert Dr. Howard Rubin, Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Hunter College of CUNY and MIT CISR Research Affiliate, about the unexpected market shift that is coming and how you can prepare for it.
Mainframes are still the workhorse of the Enterprise.Taking a look at the transaction as the “center of gravity” and understanding the end-to-end application ecosystem are critical to the success of your business.   In this session, Julie Craig from Enterprise Management Associates will explore this topic and explain why CA Technologies is positioned to meet the needs of cross-enterprise  application performance management so it doesn’t manage your business.
Listen to this presentation and hear Jon Toigo, CEO of Toigo Partners International LLC, as he presents his new research on CA Mainframe Chorus and the challenges that it addresses – including some that you may be experiencing today as well as those that you worry that you will be confronting in the future.  Jon explores some of the most pressing issues confronting mainframe computing today and, specifically, about mainframe innovations, like CA Mainframe Chorus, that will be required to keep the platform viable in the new Millennium. Discover why Jon recently awarded it the title "Best Mainframe Product of the 21st Century" – well, so far, at least!
