At last, a concise and
understandable course to guide the IS professional through the
labyrinthine world of managing distributed databases. This
practical seminar show you how to apply proven techniques to
distributed architectures and do it today. You will learn how
distributed database system are maintained and controlled, with a
focus on incorporating legacy databases into an enterprise database
system. This course is indispensable for anyone faced with the
challenge of managing distributed databases.
What's
Happening?
Due to the volatile nature
of corporate computing in the 1990's many corporations are faced
with the issue of managing widely distributed database systems,
spanning geographical areas, hardware platforms and database
architectures. Other shops are embracing "downsizing" and
"rightsizing" and have created situations where many diverse
"islands" of information are spread across many computer
networks.
"Open systems" has become
one of the foremost buzzwords of the 1990's but very little has
been written about the issues involved with managing a diverse
network of databases and how to make disparate database systems
behave as a part of an integrated enterprise.
Today’s IS
professional must insure that all of the information resources
within an organization are able to communicate with each other.
This "bridge building" function is very foreign to the traditional
manager who is accustomed to the centralized mainframe environment.
The recent popularity of client-server tools has also effected the
expectations of the end-user community. This type of Inter-database
integration presents a challenge to the administrator who must
develop a method for the diverse databases to act as if they were a
single, integrated system.
This session explains the
major issues and looks at tips and methods for creating and
managing distributed database applications. Techniques for managing
dispersed databases will also be covered with an emphasis on
client-server solutions.
What You Will
Learn
The first day of this
seminar will introduce the concepts of distributed database
technology and provide a strong foundation for applying proven
management techniques to distributed database systems. Managing
distributed client-server databases, managing distributed access
control, and managing concurrent updates with be covered with an
emphasis on practical solutions to complex problems. Distributed
database connectivity, and distributed object technology will also
be covered.
Day two will cover the
backup and recovery techniques for distributed databases,
distributed system security and auditing, performance and tuning
for distributed systems, and future trends within distributed
systems.
What Makes this
Seminar Unique?
Unlike other "overview"
seminars, this session will offer practical examples from existing
databases and show the student how to immediately manage and
control distributed systems.
Numerous in-class
exercises guide the students to a complete understanding of the
enterprise and federated system management, and the student will
leave the course with a practical, not theoretical, understanding
of distributed systems. Actual code examples will illustrate the
principles and the student will have enough information to
immediately apply the principles in their own shops.
Included in the
Seminar
Two days of a rigorous,
intensive approach that insures a complete understanding of
distributed systems issues and management techniques directly from
the author who wrote the book on managing distributed databases.
Actual code examples that demonstrate how distributed technology is
used with existing systems, including UNIX, Oracle, IDMS, and many
others.
This seminar is indispensable for IS
professionals who are planning a strategy for distributed systems,
Database Administrators who must integrate the diverse data
sources, and Applications Programmers and Analysts who need to
understand how distributed technology will change
business.
