Stream: Storage Management
Time: 13:45 - 14:45
When you operate an enterprise data centre, downtime is the enemy. Taking downtime to replace hardware or even moving from one data centre to another is a massive disruption to business as usual. Most projects require months of planning and careful orchestration of every detail, but there is no getting around physics.
At some point, you have to move data from point A to point B. This is when having a powerful migration toolkit in your hip (can we use the word back, so it is back pocket?) pocket makes all the difference in the world.
We will discuss:
1. How to leverage tooling to minimize service disruption
2. Using your tools to consistently manage your resources for maximum benefit
3. Address data erasure processes with minimal risk and maximum assurance
Tim Ceradsky is a director with Value and Solution Engineering focused on Automated Mainframe Intelligence capabilities. He leads a team of subject matter experts in many aspects of advanced automation and mainframe tooling to deliver true mainframe DevOps automation projects for enterprises including now hybrid cloud storage for the mainframe. He has been driving DevOps conversations with mainframe clients since joining BMC (then Compuware) in July 2014 and led one of the first DevOps conferences targeted for mainframe companies in January 2015. He serves on the advisory board for the Missouri State University Computer Science department, develops AR/VR applications and expert systems for “fun”, and drives a Jeep Wrangler over large rocks on the weekends to get away. The lessons learned from practical, real-world experience are translated into BMC Test Drive experiences, where Tim's team has taken BMC tools, paired them with best of class automation frameworks such as Jenkins to create working automation toolchains that potential clients can access for themselves. Built from the ground up in an iterative, agile scrum fashion, the Test Drive evolves continuously and delivers immediate value to clients that need to see how automating manual processes actually works.
