z/VM & Linux Performance Seminars


Velocity Software offers free performance seminars covering z/VM and Linux on System z. These seminars help installations obtain the best performance from z/VM and Linux on System z environments.

As a hypervisor, z/VM manages real resources between virtual servers. Incorrect configuration of one virtual server can impact the performance of others. Proper configuration and tuning of both Linux and z/VM is necessary to ensure consistent performance of all virtual servers.

Thousands of VM professionals in over 50 cities worldwide have attended Velocity seminars.These informative classes teach techniques for correctly configuring resources and tuning parameters to meet z/VM and Linux performance requirements.

Our seminars are appropriate for both experts and novices, and are not focused on Velocity products, although they do will briefly discuss Velocity Software's Linux Performance Suite, ESALPS.
