Masters Education Program
PARSEC’s Masters Education Program (MEP) isn't your typical online technical seminar.
What if each month you could be a part of a seminar that is geared towards creating best practices for legacy and state-of-art systems with topics such as OpenVMS Crash-Dump Analysis or IP Filtering on UNIX? Would it impress your boss if you learned new methods to ensure current relevance and utility for your company? Would it elevate your job performance, or help you solve a vexing problem? If so, save your seat now in PARSEC's next MEP!
Every month you will learn information inspired by actual case studies that you can apply on-the-spot. We pack technical and practical material into a comfortable 2 hour online session that tops off with ample time for Q&A and valued feedback. Bonus! You get exclusive access to download our extensive documentation at the time of each seminar. Here's a sample list of some of our past seminars:
- Road Trip! VMS Bootcamp 2016 Conference Report
- Bare-Metal System Recovery
- Cleaning Out the Cruft on OpenVMS
- Systemd and Other Major Changes in Redhat Linux 7
- Monitoring OpenVMS with Open-Source SNMP Tools
- OpenVMS Performance Tools
- IP Filtering on Unix
As a perk of being a much appreciated PARSEC support customer, each session is free. If your company is not yet benefiting from PARSEC’s support, you can join any MEP for a modest cost per person. Furthermore, if you sign up for a telephone support contract with us, within 30 days of attending the MEP, we will credit the seminar cost to your support invoice. For as long as you’re a support customer, you will not only enjoy the peace of mind in knowing you’re support needs are covered, but future seminars will be free as well.
Monitoring on OpenVMS
Most people are under the belief that OpenVMS doesn't present any tools for monitoring system performance. In this seminar, we'll briefly discuss a number of these products. Many of them are defunct and can likely only be found through the archive.org webpages, but several of these are still available today.
Some of these tools are valuable enough that we've spent an entire MEP time discussing that single product in the past (T4, AUTOGEN, MONITOR). While some are from competitor companies that are still keeping a foothold within the OpenVMS space (MonDeSi, Solarwinds). Still further are the companies or products that have just plain disappeared for development (HPSIM, Openview, SMH).
This is not an exhaustive list and other products are likely missing. It is not our intention to promote or degrade any particular product, but you are very likely to hear the instructors personal opinions on several of these products.
- T4 (Total Time Tracking Tool) and TlViz (Time Line Vizualizer)
- AUTOGEN with feedback
- VMSSPI
- TDC (The performance Data Collector)
- EDC (Enterprise Capacity Planner)
