DESCRIPTION
CloudStack is a powerful, flexible technology that greatly expands the economic potential for a datacenter. Performance management of CloudStack in context with the rest of the datacenter is critical for quick fault diagnostics, proactive management of bottlenecks and quickly bringing up or tearing down services. Learn how proper tooling can make the difference in running an excellent service versus a problem plagued environment. Mike is a 25+ year technology veteran with past roles in software engineering, product development, planning, and operations at CA Technologies, Cisco, and AMD. He currently leads a business development team at CA Technologies driving their partnerships in virtualized infrastructure and converged compute environments. Mike is based in Santa Clara, California. His time outside of work is spent with wife and four children, biking, and running triathlons. He has bachelors and masters degrees from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
