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.

Using KVM as the transformation driver for new virtualized data center infrastructure (HP-ES)

Submitted by Jean-Marc Andre on Thu, 2011-02-24 14:41

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

Modernizing Data Center in order to reduce number of machines, improve performance and rationalize efficiency is key for most customers and key for hosting integrators. HP Enterprise services did this exercise for one of its customer by proposing a KVM based virtualized data center infrastructure.

The transformation consisted into migrating existing Linux, Windows, Solaris, HP-UX based systems and applications into KVM VMs (RHEL Hypervisor) running Windows or Linux. The migration was from 3 physical data centers to 2 ones, one being new, and the deployment of 150 hypervisors to support the original 3000 applications running on physical systems.

The presentation will be made jointly by HP and RH consultants that were involved in the transformation at the various stages of the project life cycle (Proof of Concept, Data Center Transformation, Consulting for tuning and optimization, ...)

Hands on JBoss SOA - Data Services

Submitted by Arnaud Simon on Sat, 2011-04-09 14:48

Schedule: 
2011-06-07 09:30 - 12:50
Abstract: 

Most organizations have many stores of information assets in disparate locations. While tremendously valuable, implementing new applications that leverage this information can be time-consuming and costly. The solution to these challenges is data virtualization via the JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform (EDSP). Data virtualization lets you bring together and integrate data from multiple, disparate, and even distributed sources and makes the data appear as if it's available in a single source.

JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform is a powerful set of tools and runtime components that makes it easy for your applications and business processes to integrate and use data from many data sources.

This hands-on session will give you an opportunity to learn how to tackle your data integration issues using the Enterprise Data Services Platform. You will learn how a model-driven approach can speed up your development time and how you can cost-effectively expose your distributed and heterogeneous existing data assets as data services. This lab will present a complete overview of the Enterprise Data Services Platform product suite and an opportunity for hands-on use of the components to help you creating virtual views of data to satisfy all the different requirements of your consuming applications or services.

We kindly ask you to bring your own laptop with you. All labs will run in a virtualized (VDI) environment and will be accessible from your browser. Let us know, if you won't have a laptop there.

Schedule: 
2011-06-07 11:25 - 12:05
Abstract: 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux has a lifecycle of at least seven years for major releases, and typically has a new major release every two or three years.
This means that there are three supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux major releases at any given time. Customers can extend the lifecycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, up to ten years, with Extended Lifecycle Support. In addition, it is possible for customers to stay on a particular minor release for up to 24 months with Extended Update Support. 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
  • How and when customers can use Extended Lifecycle Support

Abstract: 

Today, more than ever, System Administrators are finding a need to integrate the mission-critical readiness of Red Hat Enterprise Linux into existing Microsoft Windows environments. A number of approaches can be taken for configuring interoperability between the two operating systems but how does one determine the best options for his/her specific environment?

In this session, we will review the basic concepts, common use-cases, installations and configuration details for integrating Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Samba into existing environments running Microsoft Windows 2008 Server and Active Directory. Topics covered will include:

  •  Understanding Samba and Windows Active Directory integration concepts
  •  Installing, configuring and verifying Samba on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 server
  •  Configuring Samba to use and join an existing Windows Active Directory domain
  •  Using Kerberos to securely authenticate Windows clients
  •  Configuring Winbind to simplify user account maintenance
  •  Troubleshooting common issues and pitfalls
  •  Futures: Samba replacing Windows file services with Red Hat Enterprise Linux clusters (active/active Samba with CTDB)

By the end of this session, attendees will have the details needed to allow Windows clients to securely authenticate users and access file shares through a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 server in an existing Windows Active Directory domain.
