| Introduction: |
| |
| This course shows you how to optimize the performance of your computing environment. Extensive
hands-on labs allow you to gain experience using standard UNIX and HP-specific tools to monitor, analyze, and tune
the performance of HP-UX systems and common network services. The 5-day course is 50 percent lecture and 50 percent
hands-on. |

| Customize it: |
| |
| This 5-day HP-UX Performance and Tuning course will be customized to your needs and specifications.
Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors
of HP training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just
put your organization's name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com,
every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what
you really need even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We
never fit you into our standard, one size fits all, class. |
