Aggressive planning is under way for the UniForum '96 pre-conference program scheduled for Feb. 12-13, 1996 in San Francisco. Seminars will include the MOSES Seminar, a security symposium for managers, and a third seminar on building and designing an enterprise World-Wide Web server.
The Massive Open Systems Environment Standard (MOSES) group was formed in 1992 by some of the best practitioners at some of the top open systems shops in the world. The goal of MOSES is to develop and share procedures that help data center managers use open systems effectively, productively and reliably. The group focuses on improving quality in Unix data centers. MOSES is trying to reduce the cycle needed to create new systems, improve the quality of Unix data center operations, raise the bar of commonality among Unix data centers, and gain greater cost efficiency.
Today, the MOSES group is recognized as an alliance of experienced practitioners who have successfully overcome obstacles in the day-to-day operations of their own massive open systems environment.
During this two-day seminar you'll hear experiences from four user case studies detailing successful information technology management of data and data center challenges. You'll have an opportunity to sculpt the tools of the future with leading IT providers on site to hear the critical needs of your business environments.
The MOSES Seminar is an information-intensive knowledge transfer especially designed for those individuals who:
The MOSES Seminar gives you real-life success story details, the opportunity for interactive mind share, and a role in setting the future direction of IT.
