Coradiant Co-Founder and Networking Industry Educator, Alistair Croll, to Moderate Three Sessions at Interop Las Vegas 2006

Of Special Interest to: Editors, press and industry analysts covering Interop 2006 Las Vegas:
May 1-5, 2006, at Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

Who: Alistair Croll, Coradiant Inc.™ (Booth #349-16)

What: Alistair Croll, co-founder and vice president of product management for Coradiant, Inc., will serve as moderator for three educational sessions on the emerging Information Technology discipline of Web Operations and on the emerging real-user monitoring technology category. Real-user monitoring represents a significant improvement in the way IT teams approach problem recognition and resolution in production Web environments by watching 100 percent of real-user interactions and recording problems with forensic detail.

The sessions include:

• Application Networks: A Work in Progress (May 2, 10:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.) - As networks shift from forwarding packets to forwarding messages, who decides how these messages get handled? Will the network of tomorrow make business decisions the way networks today handle routing? Or will networks simply forward packets and leave the processing to the servers?
• Watch What Matters: A Blueprint for Effective Monitoring Up and Down the Stack (May 2, 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) - From low-level traffic flows to application-fluent monitoring, there are literally hundreds of technologies that can give you insight into your network. This session will simplify the decision-making process by providing a simple taxonomy of monitoring solutions, as well as examples of each type of solution, that combines device monitoring, synthetic testing, and real-user traffic analysis.
• Web Ops Summit (May 3, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.) - Look in any modern data center or a mission-critical NOC and you'll find a new breed of operations specialist that's both Web-savvy and network-fluent. The Web Ops Summit brings together technology leaders and hands-on Web experts for a half- day of updates and thought-provoking discussion.

Croll is a prolific writer and speaker in the networking industry and is a member of the Interop program committee. He has managed and consulted on a range of technologies including VPNs, QOS, access concentration, high availability, server performance and collocated security. Croll is the co-author of Managing Bandwidth: Deploying QOS Across Enterprise Networks (Prentice Hall PTR, 1999).

Where: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV.
