Session Evaluation

When we do capacity planning we don't often question the number of processor drawers, nor what's in them. But we really should.
This presentation discusses why drawer configuration is important - and how to use your machines' drawer configuration wisely.
Topics covered include drawer capacity, resilience, and LPAR locations.
The presenter has been sensitised to this over quite a few recent customer interactions.
