We all know our favourite system is a tough cookie, it soldiers on day in day out with little support from us but how can you actually tell howhealthy it really is?
In this session, we run you through a series of simple ideas that you can take away and try on your system. They will not only help you quickly gauge the current health of your system but also allow you to track changes in behaviour and help you to detect changes early and plan your future needs with confidence. In most cases we find that following these simple steps will not only improve the performance of your server but extend it's working life and reduce the need for upgrades.

Keeping your system up to date and secure requires knowledge of the PTFs. Here will will discuss what the PTFs are, how to get them, and how to apply them. We will also discuss the different types of PTFs and how to develop a PTF strategy for your organization.
