Golomshtok gives system admins a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts behind WMI, enabling them to rapidly develop custom management tools and avoid expensive off-the-shelf solutions.

Alexander Golomshtok is a project manager and technology specialist at JP Morgan Chase. Having dedicated much of his professional career to developing large-scale software systems for various financial institutions in Europe and United States, Golomshtok has always been fascinated with such aspects of software development and maintenance as performance and system management. This continuing fascination amounted to a small consulting company, Cronos Systems Inc, which Golomshtok founded in 1998 to develop custom performance and system management tools for UNIX/Windows platforms. Besides putting in long hours at his day job and running Cronos Systems Inc, Golomshtok manages to write an occasional technical article for Sys Admin magazine.
