Alex Gilgur (#Facebook) and Kevin Mobley(#CMGnews) talk about the evolution of the #PerformanceMeasurement Industry
Igor Trubin began his engineering career in 1979 as an IBM/370 systems engineer. He earned a Ph.D. in Robotics from St. Petersburg Technical University in 1986 and spent 12 years there as a professor teaching CAD/CAM and Robotics. He has published and presented more than 60 technical papers and conference presentations in robotics, artificial intelligence, IT performance, capacity management, anomaly detection, and FinOps. After moving to the U.S. in 1999, Igor worked at Capital One, IBM, and SunTrust Bank in senior engineering, architecture, and management roles. His 2002 CMG paper on exception detection received a Best Paper Award. He later developed Perfomalist.com, based on his original methods for anomaly, change-point, and trend detection, and created the online course “Performance Anomaly Detection.” At Capital One, he led development of cloud capacity-management and FinOps solutions, including the award-winning OptiCloud application. He has served on the CMG Board of Directors since 2015. Now semi-retired, Igor focuses on research, writing, and consulting.

The 1st DC area CMG meeting: Capacity Management on Cloud vs. on-Prem
PLEASE SEE DETAILS HERE and consider to attend!
____________________________
WHERE: “IBM Washington Systems Center”, 470 Springpark Place, Herndon, Va. 20170
- LUNCH is provided by Talend.com
- Confirmed presentations:
1. Is Capacity Management Needed in the Cloud? - Kevin McLaughlin (https://cmgimpact.com/speakers/kevin-mclaughlin/) Capital One director (he will repeat his Velocity and CMG imPACT’17 conferences presentation)
Abstract: The cloud holds the promise of bottomless capacity, available instantly. Recently, Capital One has been shifting a significant portion of its workload to the public cloud. Kevin McLaughlin explores what capacity management looks like in the cloud, which old concepts still apply, which should be retired, and what new metrics become important in the process. Kevin also covers the importance of performance management and outlines what needs to be monitored as workloads transition to the cloud and what to monitor once a workload is fully in the cloud, as well as considerations for ensuring the legacy environment maintains sufficient capacity during the transition. (see more details HERE (http://www.trub.in/2016/08/cmg-impact-and-velocity-conferences.html))
Presenter bio: Kevin McLaughlin has 15 years of experience in financial services technology, primarily in roles related to capacity and performance management. Kevin spent eight years on the business side of banking, where he held various analytic roles including management of Capital One's statistical model governance process. He currently serves as the director of Capital One's technology capacity management team and still serves as a model risk officer for the bank's analytic models. Kevin has a BS in ag economics from Virginia Tech and an MBA with a concentration in MIS from George Mason University.
2. Capacity Planning for Pervasive Encryption with zBNA - Kathy Walsh, IBM Distinguished Engineer
Abstract: This session will discuss the capacity planning methods and tools available to gain a better understanding of the impact of a pervasive encryption implementation strategy. The session will discuss the system requirements necessary to build a capacity plan and will review the steps necessary to complete the planning. Information on both DFSMS data set encryption and CF
structure encryption will be shared. The capability to estimate the capacity impact on current and future technology such as a z14 processor will be covered.
