Tina M. Tarquinio is the director of the IBM Z team, building the mainframe of the future.  Currently, she leads a team of forward-thinking engineers building the z/OS Operating System, focused on enabling workloads to be flexible, and creating a true end to end DevOps experience. In her time at IBM, she has held both technical and leadership roles, across multiple platforms (IBM Z, Power, Storage and x86) and disciplines. Her roles have always had close ties to where development teams and clients intersect, helping clients be successful while feeding back into development, and facilitating discussion around future product roadmaps.  A certified IT specialist, she has written several IBM Redbooks around High Performance Computing, and has acquired both patents and publishes for her work.   Currently, she is leading teams to develop and bring to market, technology for the next era of application agility for IBM Z workloads and driving the next generation of DevOps for z/OS – the operating system that powers the worlds business. Since graduating from the University of Albany with B.S. degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, she has been active in local schools, encouraging students at all levels to study sciences. She enjoys mentoring many early tenure and women engineers at IBM, as well as being on the advisory board for CIS Programs at a local college.

There is Public Cloud and Private Cloud, which many people are familiar with, and then there is the Hybrid Cloud. What does Hybrid Cloud actually mean?[02:39] IBM uses the term “five 9’s” with regards to the reliability of the IBM Z Platform. Many companies use that term as well. What does it mean?[04:17] In addition to availability, you also need scalability. Just because an app is available, doesn’t mean it has an acceptable response time.[05:50] Uptime is extremely critical because 80% of the time, if your application doesn’t work people won’t come back. Of the 20% who do come back, if your app is still unresponsive, 100% of them won’t return a third time![06:46] It’s all about the User Experience. IBM Design Thinking is all about what is the true end-user experience.[08:12] With social media platforms like Twitter, customer’s frequently share their feedback – positive and negative – with the world, instantaneously.

Hybrid Cloud and IBM Z With Tina Tarquinio

Meet Tina Tarquinio and her favorite mainframe, the ZR1. The mainframe has evolved to fit into a standard 19" rack, but there's a whole lot more to it than just hitting it with the shrink ray. Find out all about it on this week's episode.
