The traditional application server has been deconstructed and redefined. Components of today’s applications run on distributed systems which have been virtualized across clusters of physical hosts that sharing network bandwidth to storage and other resources. Additionally, today’s hyper-dense computing environments, made possible by innovations by companies such as Cisco, EMC, and VMware, have placed more servers per square foot in our data centers than ever before.
These changes cause us to revisit IT management philosophies and in many cases to re-tool ourselves for this generation of data center. Join SolarWinds Head Geek Josh Stephens as we discuss the changes that these trends have caused and how they affect application management best practices. Some of what he’ll cover will include:
- Understanding today’s application server technologies
- Best practices for managing next-gen application servers
- Key elements of successful monitoring in hyper-dense computing environments
- Management system recommendations and what to watch out for
Also during this webcast we’ll demonstrate key technologies from SolarWinds that help conquer these challenges and ensure application management success in these environments.
