Atlanta Network and Systems Management Technical User Group
June Meeting Announcement
The Home Depot (THD) will host the June ANSMTUG meeting and Karen Terry
will be our presenter. Karen is an IT Architect at THD and a long time
and active participant in Atlanta’s network and systems management
culture. Karen’s presentation is very timely in this era of compliance
concerns and challenges. She will focus on server-oriented provisioning
and THD’s use of Opsware’s and other tools to achieve that. Karen will
talk about:
* Where Opsware fits in at THD in Change, Release Management
* Configuration and Compliance
* Thoughts on tools
Also, folks, Opsware is providing food and drink! Please help us out by
RSVPing (see link below) if you intend to attend so we can provide
Opsware a headcount to order the food and drink.
What is the ANSMTUG all about?
The Atlanta Network and Systems Management Technical User Group was
created to foster collaboration between administrators, architects,
engineers, and operators of applications and tools used to manage and
monitor networks, systems, applications, services, and business
activities.
There are numerous enterprise and service provider companies in the
Atlanta area who use best of breed applications and tools from companies
such as IBM Tivoli/Micromuse (Netcool), OpenService (NerveCenter), Quest
Software (Foglight), Hewlett-Packard (OpenView), EMC/SMARTS (InCharge),
Concord Communications, InfoVista, etc. The intent of the group is not
to be completely aligned with any particular vendor or solution, but
rather focus on network and systems management applications and tools in
general. There will likely be more focus on a select handful of vendor
solutions than others, but this will be driven by the users and not the
vendors.

Do you know if there’s a user’s group like this in Austin?
Cote,
I’m not aware of one. I founded this one a few years back now. I’ve talked with a lot of people about starting sister groups in other cities but they just haven’t committed the time to it yet.
I’d be happy to help form one in the Austin area. I know there are a lot of great companies and folks in the area that would probably be interested. It just takes someone with the initiative to coordinate monthly meetings and establishing communications channels to get the word out. Throw in some free pizza and you’ll generally get a good sized turnout.
Doug
When is the next ANSMTUG Meeting and who do I contact to attend?
