Agenda

Best Practices in Application Infrastructure Design and Management

An application infrastructure strategy that is integrated into the application lifecycle will lead to more manageable systems, reduced costs, improved availability, and enhanced services delivery. In this roundtable, we'll discuss and explore best practices in application infrastructure, and we'll see how you can ensure maximum reliability of your applications prior to deploying them in production. We'll look at the tools and methodologies available today for monitoring and managing your applications and your systems. The presentation is followed by an interactive discussion session by all participants.

This event is sponsored by AVICode -- the leading provider of real-time, always-on .NET application monitoring tools that are used throughout the application lifecycle.  AVIcode has developed the .NET Management Pack for MOM 2005, the Design for Operations Integration Kit which bridges development and operations teams, and the .NET Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007.
