Pontification of Data Visualization for z/OS Performance

(QH)

Stream: zP&C
Time: 11:45 - 12:45


Presentation

The authors of the presentation have years of experience helping people understand the performance of their z/OS systems, in part by visualizing the performance details that are stored in the SMF data. You probably won’t be surprised to find that we’re quite interested in data visualization as a discipline. In this webinar, Peter Enrico and Jamie Novotny will explore the psychology behind data visualization, discuss some visualization best practices, ridicule examples of poor visualizations, and explain how performance reports work to avoid obfuscation and promote understanding.
