PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In today's eBusiness world, operations and IT management face a
myriad of challenges in monitoring the performance of eBusiness
network environments. The provision of "high quality of experience"
to users and customers is one key challenge. A user's experience
has direct impact on the image and brand of a company as well as
have a direct impact on the company's revenue stream. Furthermore,
a low quality of experience may hinder business transactions with
partners, resulting in higher business costs. Currently, operations
and IT managers utilize a bundle of disparate services, products,
and applications to manage and monitor the performance and transactions
of eBusiness Web sites.
The objective of this two-hour, facilitated symposium is to discuss
the current state of and future direction in the following areas:
* Site Management & Monitoring
* Site Performance
* Transaction Assurance
* Security
To facilitate knowledge exchange during the symposium, the following
questions provide the focus for discussion:
* What are the existing needs of ISPs, ASPs, MSPs, system integrators,
and hosting companies to efficiently manage and monitor the performance
of eBusiness Web sites for their customers, enabling compliance
with Service Level Agreements (SLA)?
* What functions/elements of current services/products/applications
currently exist that provide efficient management and monitoring
of eBusiness Web sites? What works? What does not? Would an integrated
solution be desirable?
* Are existing services/products/applications pinpointing the
cause of performance and transaction problems in a reliable manner?
Is the reporting process efficient? Are current diagnostics functioning
to satisfaction? What about monitoring security?
* How important is it to monitor eBusiness Web sites from multi
locations/cities?
* Is streaming content analysis valuable for performance monitoring?
* What challenges exist for the overall market, that is, of
providers of services/products/applications for the management and
performance of eBusiness Web sites/networks?
