           Barton Robinson, President and Founder, 
           Velocity Software, Inc. 
 
           Abstract
 
           These presentations will focus on measuring and
           tuning.  It is impossible to tune a system without
           knowledge of current performance.  Making things
           more difficult, the Linux under the z/VM environment
           is making radical changes with every release of Linux
           patches or z/VM.  Thus the needs for measurements
           change regularly and so must your tuning methods.

           Disaster Recovery for z/VM  & Linux/390 
           John Hall, 
           Safe Software 
 
           Abstract
 
           The emergence of Linux/390 on z/VM has brought new
           interest to the Z/vm platform.  One of the first
           tools you need when deploying Linux on the mainframe
           is a reliable disaster recovery solution.  Histori-
           cally, z/VM installations have used expensive vendor
           solutions or complicated and difficult to maintain
           DDR implementations.  This session covers why you
           need to have a disaster recovery plan, what needs to
           be in it, and options for implementation, including
           an overview of Safe Software's newest product:  SafeDR
           a cost effective, turnkey z/VM disaster recovery
           solution.
