Why Attend LISA?

"In a world where technology changes rapidly, it's hard to find great resources for in-depth expertise. LISA has a terrific combination of people who create the technology and people who implement it effectively for their companies."

Matt Simmons, Northeastern University

"I like seeing where the industry is heading, how SysAdmins/engineers are evolving, tools they are using, common problems and solutions across the world."

LISA14 Attendee

"Great sessions, great presenters, great community. I feel like I can make up a year of following news and forums on the subject in a week."

LISA14 Attendee

"This was my first LISA. It was great attending a conference that focused on my role without trying to shoehorn every challenge into a specific vendor's solution. The same mix of awesome sessions, speakers, and other attendees will bring me back every year."

LISA14 Attendee

"LISA is the home of ops people who do ops correctly. I’m always motivated by the conference content and hallway conversations to be better, and I take home the knowledge needed to move closer to that goal. "

Tony Del Porto, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"If you're a sysadmin slaving away in a metaphorical basement and re-inventing the wheel every time your employer's business goals change slightly, LISA will help pull you into the light."

Marc Chiarini, Long-Time IT Admin and Researcher, MarkLogic Corp

"No matter if you are dealing with the latest tech or trying to maintain something from the dark ages of the ‘90s, there are people at LISA who are experienced with it. Heck, many of the people who _developed_ this tech attend. This is a great place to get answers and ideas."

Lee Damon, University of Washington

"LISA is the best mix of training, talks, and networking of any events I've been to. That's the reason I've been to 11 of them.”

ITIL Overview for System Administrators

Mini Tutorial
Friday, November 13, 2015 - 9:00am-10:30am

Eric Sorbo, SAIC

Eric Sorbo, SAIC

Eric Sorbo is an Information Technology Instructor with Science Applications International Corporation. Currently contracted to support the United States Central Command in Tampa, Florida, his role there is to lead a team of instructors who provide software and technology training. He has been an instructor for over 10 years and has taught courses for several organizations and universities.

Description: 

ITIL Foundation teaches the audience about IT service management from a lifecycle perspective of a service as it flows through the phases of initial concept to design and into operation/production. The talk is beneficial to anyone who develops or supports an IT service either from a direct or indirect support role. The emphasis of the talk is how system administrators fit into the service lifecycle. The discussion will give a quick overview of all processes, but will spend a majority of time on the processes that system administrators deal with most.

Who should attend: 

This talk is for people who have heard about ITIL and would like to know a little more about it and how Sys Admins fit into it. All of the information shared will be at the Foundation level and will not go into details beyond that level. It is not intended for those who have already attended an ITIL Foundation class or obtained the certification. 

Take back to work: 

By adopting some of the best international practices for managing IT services, IT service providers can become more effective and efficient. System administrators can play an important role in the adoption of ITIL best practices, and may decide to further their education and obtain ITIL Foundation certification.

Topics include: 
  • Overview of the ITIL service lifecycle
  • Service design warranty processes (availability, capacity, continuity and security)
  • Service transition processes (release and deployment)
  • Service operation processes (incident and problem)
  • Summary game (played by anyone in audience who has a smart phone or laptop with Internet access)
