Adobe Announces a new Pre-Conference Training

Pre-conference Training 3: Performance Monitoring Toolset

Trainer : Adobe ColdFusion Team

This workshop will lead you through the finer details of the Performance Monitoring toolset and help you start monitoring the performance of ColdFusion servers like a pro. We will show how this solution provides insight into potential performance bottlenecks, and availability issues with the application and server, which you might not otherwise be aware of—until it’s too late. By being proactive and monitoring all phases of your application life cycle from development to production, you can find issues before your customers do.
