Compuware to Speak on Cloud Performance SLAs at Cloud Connect 2012 Conference

DETROIT--Feb 8, 2012--Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR), the technology performance company, today announced that Michael Kopp, Technology Strategist for Compuware dynaTrace, will present a session titled: "SLAs and Performance in the Cloud: Because There is More Than 'Just' Availability" at the Cloud Connect 2012 Conference in Santa, Clara, California.

Service level agreements (SLAs) are only useful if they guarantee a certain level of quality. Current cloud SLAs cover availability but ignore key ingredients: response and throughput performance. A true performance SLA would need to relate to the application’s performance, something that no cloud provider has control over. This session will explore how application performance monitoring can be used to define, measure and enforce a usable SLA for both sides.

Session Title: SLAs and Performance in the Cloud: Because There is More Than "Just" Availability

When: Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Time: 3:45 p.m. Pacific time

Where: Cloud Connect 2012, Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA

What: During this session, attendees will learn:

  • how application performance monitoring can be used to enforce SLAs;
  • about the differences between IaaS and PaaS cloud providers in relation to SLAs;
  • how SLAs can lead to better user experience with less R&D effort; and
  • how to easily compare cloud performance across vendors in terms that really matter: response time per cost.

Speaker: Michael Kopp is a technology strategist in the dynaTrace center of excellence and has more than 10 years of experience as an architect and developer in the Java/JEE space. Additionally, Kopp specializes in architecture and performance of large scale production deployments with a special focus on virtualization and cloud.

Compuware dynaTrace will be exhibiting at Cloud Connect 2012, February 14-15 at booth #822.
