Zwei unserer Kollegen werden im Rahmen der diesjährigen South Tyrol Free Software Conference (SFScon 2016) einen Beitrag zu ihrem Fachbereich vorstellen. Die Veranstaltung findet am 11. November im Sitz der IDM Südtirol in Bozen statt.
Susanne Greiner, unsere Data Scientist, spricht über Machine Learning and Advanced Statistics for Performance Monitoring:
“Performance is playing an increasingly important role in the IT sector. Performance monitoring helps to detect whether a network is stable enough, whether an application is fast enough, whether users can be expected to be satisfied with a service, and to answer many similar questions. Key ingredient for monitoring are the right metrics. To create promising metrics that might become valuable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) one needs data, profound domain knowledge, and suitable maths. In time of analog storage the collection of data might have been a problem, but not anymore. Nowadays data are collected and stored everywhere at any time. This amount of (big) data can be used in several ways. Sophisticate methods, e.g. anomaly detection, make it possible to deal with problems and get to their roots even when the sheer amount of data available would take too much time to analyze by a human admin relying on common practice methods. Goal of this talk is to show the role of advanced statistics and machine learning compared to currentcommon practice when extracting insights from multiple data sources. Advantages when it comes tovisualization, bottleneck detection, and alarm creation are presented via practical examples from theperformance monitoring field. Open Source tools such as for example the SciPy stack, scikit-learn, as well as InfluxDB and Grafana can help to accomplish a minor part of the big task but in particular their combination has a huge potential in this field.”
Ihr Vortrag findet um 15.00 Uhr in der Sala Plenaria statt.
Francesco Melchiori, unser Alyvix Product Manager wird End User Experience Monitoring for Cloud Applications with Alyvix vorstellen:
“Alyvix provides GUI tools to graphically define every transactions of user interaction flows on any application. Alyvix is able to automate all applications that are in the cloud or on-premises. (e.g. Onlineshop, Citrix etc.). That is because Alyvix is not bolted to application APIs, but it acts as it would sit in front of their interface interacting with them (as a human would do). Alyvix tests the availability of your applications and measures their responsiveness. Hence, Alyvix measures how long transactions take to be accomplished, and reports the performance in HTML pages. Through the integration to your monitoring system (e.g. NetEye, Icinga, Nagios) those outcomes can be tracked. Latency spikes and service downtimes can be clearly recognized from time series charts. Moreover, notification messages and other logics can be set. Alyvix certifies the ongoing quality of IT cloud services highlighting in which location and on whattime they are performing well or worse than expected. With this information, IT operations teams can modulate infrastructure resources and IT clients can check their SLA with providers. Alyvix is a Python-based open source software, which can be easily deployed on Windows 64-bit machines. During his speech, Francesco Melchiori will present the Alyvix features, explain how they can be used to monitor cloud applications and show why they help keeping the quality of your IT services high.”
Sein Vortrag findet um 16.30 Uhr ebenfalls in der Sala Plenaria statt.

Wir würden uns freuen Sie dort zu treffen!
Die South Tyrol Free Software Conference ist ein Event von internationaler Tragweite, das Jahr für Jahr immer mehr Besucher aus Norditalien, Österreich und der Schweiz anlockt.
Die Konferenz zum Thema Freie Software richtet sich zwar an ein breites Publikum, ist aber besonders für Entscheidungsträger in der Öffentlichen Verwaltung und in unternehmen gedacht. SFScon fördert die Nutzung von Freier Software in IT-Infrastrukturen, um einen höheren Grad an Innovation und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit im Einzugsgebiet zu erreichen.
Dank der Beiträge von landesweit und international anerkannten Sprechern, profiliert sich die Konferenz zunehmend als Treffpunkt für Experten, Endnutzer und Interessierte. Die Teilnehmer erhalten eine einmalige Möglichkeit, sich über Best Practices und letzte Neuheiten zu unterhalten.
Die SFScon wurde erstmals 2001 von der Linux User Group Bozen-Bolzano-Bulsan organisiert und wird seit 2005 vom TIS innovation park, jetzt IDM Südtirol – Alto Adige in Bozen organisiert. Seit 2004 verleiht die Linux User Group Bozen-Bolzano-Bulsan im Rahmen der Veranstaltung den “South Tyrol Free Software Award” (SFSaward).
