Value Of Standardizing on Red Hat Hat Enterprise Linux

Submitted by Lars Herrmann on Thu, 2011-02-24 12:53

Schedule: 
2011-06-06 14:35 - 15:15
Abstract: 

Have you heard others saying that customers can save money by using free Linux? Is employing highly skilled Linux engineers the best strategy for enterprise customers for maximum availability and IT productivity? Red Hat offers great support, but Linux from any vendor is equally reliable, performant and secure?

As Linux deployments grow fast in more and more enterprise customers, a strategy needs to be defined in order to get the most out of IT investments. In this session we will go through a IDC TCO study that Red Hat commissioned evaluating the advantages of common strategies. Learn how standardizing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides the best productivity, least downtime and lowest cost and how Red Hat's subscription model enables those business benefits.

Schedule: 
2011-06-06 15:55 - 17:55
Abstract: 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a complete portfolio of security technologies with solutions for all facets of your system, data, and communications security challenges.

SELinux continues to introduce and improve innovative security capabilities.

  • Greater coverage of system services by SELinux policies makes RHEL 6 more secure and resistant to security exploits, protecting system operation and data.
  • SELinux sandboxing allows users to run untrusted applications safely and securely.

The new System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) provides centralized access to identity and authentication resources, and enables caching and offline support. SSSD presents a generalized interface to clients that need identity and authentication, and should be the service of choice for access to identity/authentication services across the enterprise.

This lab gives an overview of the enhancements in RHEL6, plus it offers some hands-on excercises.

Uncover and Address the Hidden Costs of UNIX to Linux Migrations with MoveOp Migration Readiness Master

Submitted by Philipp Giesbrecht on Thu, 2011-02-24 17:31
Posted in
Schedule: 
2011-06-06 17:15 - 17:55
Abstract: 

All too often when companies consider migrations from UNIX to Linux they only focus on the before and after costs. Of course, achieving a lower TCO is the goal, but savvy IT organizations understand that if they can’t manage their migration costs the lowered TCO could be lost before the migration is done.

Join Andrew Galewsky, MoveOp CTO, for the session “Uncover and Address the Hidden Costs of UNIX to Linux Migrations with MoveOp” for a business and technical discussion on the process of migration to Linux and understand how MoveOp software reduces risk, cost and complexity in migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Here are just a few of key benefits MoveOp Migration Readiness Master delivers within the migration process:

Planning: Automation of candidate system inventory/data collection with detailed mapping to candidate target Linux distributions and associated suitability scoring for each. The result is greatly reduced waiting times for client data, with improved data depth and accuracy, as well as automated, detailed suitability reports that you can share with clients and use for prioritization of candidate systems for migration.

This gives plenty of options to our customers for planning the lifecycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments at their premises.

In this session you will learn about:

  • Red Hat's support policies
  • The lifecycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a deep-dive
  • Identifying when Extended Update Support can help customers
