http://www.sgi.com/events/linuxu/locations.html#Portland Free seminar... got a call from SGI on it, and am passing it on. I won't have a chance to go (I just took a day for a seminar yesterday and work is too busy) Portland, OR - March 16 The Portland Conference Center Bridges Ballroom 300 N.E. Multnomah St. Portland, OR 97232 503-239-9921 Directions Register for this location Breakout Descriptions Agenda Topics Security in Linux Software Development Tools Linux for the Internet - Web Serving and Media Serving XFS/CXFS Networking and Clustering on Linux Linux 64 Breakout Descriptions Check your location and agenda for available breakouts. Linux 64 A discussion of the tools for developing applications for Linux on the IA-64 platform. Clusters and Networking on Linux Linux provides an excellent networking environment with various standards-based and proprietary products. These products are used both for general infrastructure networking use as well as for cluster interconnects. State-of-the-art and emerging technologies and standards within the networking space are discussed. Linux clustering solutions provide System Architects availability and scalability right-sized for their environment. Three classes of clusters are explored: High Availability clusters; Throughput clusters; and Capability clusters. These clusters ensure that problems are always solvable, large numbers of individual problems can be solved, and even the largest and most demanding problems can be solve. Linux for the Internet - Web Serving, E-Commerce, and Messaging This session addresses the issues of design, tuning, and reliability for Web Serving, E-Commerce, and Messaging on Linux. Also, how to build a system/site that is both highly available and high-performance. Security in Linux This talk addresses the current state of security features in Linux, touches on current efforts in the Linux community to improve those features, and outlines SGI's plans with regard to future direction. XFS and CXFS SGI is contributing the XFS file system to the Open Source Linux community using the copyleft GPL license. XFS is one of SGI's core competencies in high-performance computing. It is the most scalable, high-performance journal file system available today. This talk will review the advanced XFS features and how and why SGI will distribute it as an Open Source GPL file system for Linux The Clustered XFS file system from SGI, CXFS, provides a single-system view of file system from multiple heterogeneous hosts (Linux, NT, IRIX, etc.), sharing disks over a storage area network (SAN), such as a Fibre Channel fabric. The application programmer interface (API) for processes sharing disks from multiple hosts is the same as if they were on one multi-processor (SMP) host. This talk will describe the capabilities, efficiency, implementation methods, status, and plans for CXFS.
