Links that I have found interesting for August 14th:

• BMC BSM Overview – BSM is the most effective approach for managing IT from the perspective of the business. BSM helps your IT organization do more of what supports the business and less of what doesn’t. With BSM, you will reduce cost, lower risk of business disruption, and benefit from an IT infrastructure built to support business growth and flexibility.

  We will provide an overview of BSM and key IT Infrastructure Library® (ITIL®) processes: Configuration, Incident, Problem, Change, and Service Level Management. Additionally, Infrastructure Management and Service Impact/Event Management are included to provide an end-to-end view of BSM.

  This Webinar is geared toward an overview of BSM, and is not meant to be an in-depth look at product features. It is appropriate for anyone wanting to understand BSM and wanting to see how it could benefit the organization.

• Managed Objects Steams Ahead in Q2 – Managed Objects, the Business Service Management (BSM) Company, today announced impressive results for its second quarter 2008, underscored by especially strong sales in North America, which surged more than 50 percent over the same quarter in the previous year.
• visualvm: Home – VisualVM is a visual tool integrating several commandline JDK tools and lightweight profiling capabilities. Designed for both production and development time use, it further enhances the capability of monitoring and performance analysis for the Java SE platform.

  ** Need a how to on use of this with TBSM! **

• ANSMTUG – Atlanta Network & Systems Management Technical User Group – ANSMTUG Info

  The Atlanta Network and Systems Management Technical User Group was created in January 2004 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.

  This technical user group helps the local user community through monthly meetings to learn about best practices, how- to's, FAQs, lessons learned, etc. outside of annual vendor sponsored conferences or meetings. The meetings will allow for local networking opportunities within the user community, hearing monthly presentations about user driven topics of interest as well as presentations about user/company/vendor implementations or products.

August Meeting Announcement

It’s been a while and the TUG is back! Come see William Bryant and his Emory University NOC team show us an interesting solution named Locate from Etelemetry. This product maps users to the IP addresses their workstations are using and the switch port to which they’re attached. And then administer network access by user name.

Emory University will host.

Etelemetry is sponsoring the food and drink for the meeting. Please help us out by RSVPing (see link below) by Monday, August 18th, if you intend to attend so we can provide a headcount to order the food and drink.
