Using OpenVMS Technologies to Build an Agile Computing Base presented at 
  Connect 2010 OpenVMS BootCamp

As part of the 2010 Connect OpenVMS BootCamp, Mr. Gezelter presented Using
OpenVMS Technololgies to Build an Agile Computing Base on September 14,
2010 in Nashua, New Hampshire. An encore of this presentation was done two
days later on September 16, 2010. 

Cloud computing is often discussed these days. Cloud computing may be
freshly coined, but its principles have a long history. Managed properly,
OpenVMS clusters are effectively a "cloud." OpenVMS clusters, when
configured correctly, and with some members provisioned as fractional
virtual machines, agilely enable continuous rightsizing, increasing the
already impressive flexibility of OpenVMS to a new level. This increased
flexibility and improved efficiency improves overall availability and
reduces operating and capital costs. 

We understand that many who would have liked to attend the BootCamp were
unable to fit this event into their schedule. As a contribution to the
entire OpenVMS community, we are making the audio tracks from these
presentations available to the entire OpenVMS community. 

The complete abstract of this talk and information about the presentation,
including MP3 audio tracks for both presentations, can be found at:

2010 Trenton Computer Festival and Professional Conference presentations 
  available

Mr. Gezelter did three presentations at the 2010 Trenton Computer Fair and
associated Professional Conference on April 23-24, 2010. 

He presented Square Pegs/Round Holes: Toolset Strengths and Weaknesses, IT
and Ethics: Guidelines for Professionals, and Disposable Virtual Machines;
each of which draws on his experiences dealing with client problems in the
information technology sphere. 

The complete abstracts of these talks and information about each
presentation, including the slide sets for all three presentations, can be
found via:

The OpenVMS Consultant explores continuous rightsizing, leveraging F$PARSE,
  and hierarchically customizing SYLOGIN processing

The OpenVMS Consultant, Mr. Gezelter's column on OpenVMS.org, continues to
explore topics of interest to OpenVMS users and managers, exploring
OpenVMS' rich suite of functionality. This embracive functionality provides
significant opportunities to leverage inherent OpenVMS capabilities to
streamline costs, both in the hardware context and in terms of software
complexity. Some installments cover standard functionality that is often
not fully understood, other installments explore using facilities in
innovative ways. 

Recent installments in the column have discussed continuous rightsizing;
using F$PARSE to implement standard OpenVMS filename defaulting
within command files; and a variety of ways to leverage the
SYLOGIN facility - implementing and debugging system, group-wide,
and applications-specific login extensions without the need to alter user's
individual LOGIN.COxM files. 

Future entries will explore other topics within the OpenVMS universe. The
entire series can be accessed at:

Ruminations - An IT Blog explores diverse issues of technical and general 
  interest

Ruminations - An IT Blog continues to explore general IT issues with
broader implications. Recent entries have examined a variety of topics,
some directly IT-related, and others applicable to security and processes.
Recent articles have addressed a wide range of topics, all of which have
interesting implications. 

Topics have included the recent changes in Transportation Security Agency
(TSA) search procedures, and their implications for public safety; the
challenges of information flow in today's online world where capabilities
previously the province of nation states are now available gratis online;
whether the Google Streetview capturing of unencrypted Wi-Fi data was a
privacy issue (or should we be more concerned about far less identifiable
parties); covert emplacement of GPS recorders without warrants and the
privacy implications of the information recorded by those devices; the use
and creation of disposable virtual machines; and the business implications
of greatly expanded transactional reporting enacted by the US Congress, a
subject that is of particular import for corporate IT staffs; and how
inexpensive hosting accounts can be utilized as a "data serving cloud" to
improve the performance of in-house web applications.
