Alberto Ortega’s Blog

This Saturday 4th-Oct on the UAI (San Juan 983), myself and many other Southworks team mates will be present at this year edition of Microsoft CodeCamp

We will offer a track in the morning at 11:15 dedicated to IIS7, named IIS7 4×4 with Horacio Gonzales,

IIS7 4×4
Como configurar un IIS todo terreno, PHP, ASP, ASP.net, etc, como tunear IIS para ajustarlo de acuerdo a la aplicación a hostear, cuales son las diferentes opciones según el caso, Entendiendo CGI, Fast-CGI e ISAPI y cual es mejor según el caso.
Oradores: Alberto Ortega Y Horacio Gonzalez

Later on at 16:15 in the afternoon together with crazy Ezequiel Jadib we will talk about Heterogeneous Application Monitoring with System Center Operations Manager. He will 1st add specific WMI counter to a running application so me (a lazy IT Pro) can guarantee application availability and performance leveraging Operations Manager features for in-house application monitoring.

Monitoreo de aplicaciones heterogéneas
Como utilizar las herramientas que nos brinda System Center para monitorear aplicaciones desarrolladas in-house, como proporcionar a help desk de información necesaria para diagnosticar rápidamente que componente de la aplicación no se comporta como se espera.

If you are wondering which others sessions to attend, let me recommend what other Southworks team mates will we exposing

Our Jedi Master Matias Woloski will be sharing worthy experience about Performance & Load Testing with  the PerfBoy Federico Boerr. You need to hear what this guys has to say about this dark science known as Performance Testing:

HowTo: Performance y load testing
Durante la exposición, se presentará una aplicación de ejemplo sobre la cual se llevarán a cabo pruebas performance y carga. Los siguientes conceptos serán tratados durante las pruebas: Definición de diferentes tipos de testing (perf, load, stress). Definición de objetivos de las pruebas, patrones de carga en las pruebas de performance. Detección de cuellos de botella (disco y procesador en éste caso) y detección de memory leaks.

Finally out IT ranger Augusto Alvarez will be exposing an ITPro view of IIS7 dealing with an Heterogenous environment, ideal for an Apache fan who want to know what’s there in IIS7 for him.
