LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Prior to founding the SDN Academy, Aseem served as senior vice president at Guavus, where he was instrumental in product definition, roadmaps and pre- and post-sales delivery, at RMI Corp (acquired by NetLogic), and in Cisco Systems’ Optical Networking Group. He came to Cisco via the acquisition of iManage/Pipelinks, where he served as the co-founder and vice president of engineering. In the past, he has also held senior positions at Novell. Aseem earned an M.S.E.E. from UCLA.
