I'm happy to have Monolith Software provide our presentation for our August meeting. Jeff Parker, founder of Monolith Software, as well as Brian Clark, Systems Architect at Global Payments, will present. This is the way I like to see vendors get involved with our group. Jeff and Brian team up to present the issues facing folks charted with building a management and monitoring solution for Network Operation Centers. They'll discuss needs and requirements, the traditional approach, the Monolith approach, a customer case study (Global Payments) and then go through an overview of what the system would look like.Here's more about our presenters:Brian Clark, Systems Architect - Global PaymentsSpecialties include Enterprise Management Systems, Computer Systems Architecture, Linux, HA and HPC Clustering, System Virtualization, SAN and NAS, Solaris, AIXJeff Parker, Founder - Monolith SoftwareHas over 16 years of experience in the technology arena.
