“GETTING YOUR LINUX INFRASTRUCTURE UNDER CONTROL: BEST PRACTICES”
Presented by: Frank Curran, Director Business Development, Black Duck Software
Discussion: In today’s fast-paced environment, organizations need the highest levels of performance in their IT systems to maintain a competitive advantage. The cost of downtime can be tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars per hour. More and more companies are now considering the risks of running mission critical, data center applications on a self-supported Linux operating system. Managing your environment in this way could pose regulatory, financial, productivity and security risks to business operations. Self-supported operating systems can undermine the integrity and stability of your IT infrastructure. Black Duck Software, working through the Microsoft and Novell Interop Ability Partnership, can help you get your Linux infrastructure under control. Join us for an informative discussion that will outline best practices for helping your organization:
    • Minimize the risks of self-supported Linux and to help organizations get their Linux infrastructure under control.
    • Automatically analyze the existence and use of self -supported Linux operating systems along with any associated security vulnerabilities within an organization.
    • Identify the critical information necessary to make informed decisions about their use of self-supported Linux and the risks involved.

Presented by: Jim Flyzik, President, The Flyzik Group
Richard Frost, Global Director IT, General Motors
Discussion: "The Federal Government and Private Sector Companies have a long history of problematic major systems developments. Far too often, these developments either fail completely or fall far short of their original objectives. Projects running years behind schedule and far over original budgets are not uncommon. - Just review the OMB "High Risk" list. There must be a better way! How do successful major corporations develop systems much faster that are delivered on time, within budget and consistently meeting objectives? A common thread within these best practices companies is the use of "visualization" and collaboration as a core element of the systems life-cycle. CIO Magazine Hall of Fame CIO Jim Flyzik and . Richard Frost from General Motors will discuss how leading organizations "Visualize to Modernize" and "Simulate to Innovate" - and are able to save significant time and money - and deliver systems that meet core objectives and user expectations
