Given we have been talking quite a bit about virtualization, I'm
thinking I may go up for this.

UUASC-LA
Unix Users Association of Southern California
Los Angeles County Chapter
March 2007 Meeting
---------------------------------------------
UNIX Server Virtualization Round Table
---------------------------------------------
Thursday, Mar. 1, 7-9 pm
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
222 N. Sepulveda in El Segundo
10th Floor -- Martinique Room
---------------------------------------------
What if your boss tells you that the company's servers need to be shared by
multiple isolated applications running under multiple OS's? What if there is
no budget to dedicate each server for only one operating system? What are your
options? It turns out that there are numerous solutions, but who has time to
investigate all of the alternatives? Well, what if we brought a host of them
to you on the same stage in one night for you to choose for yourself?
At the March meeting of UUASC-LA, Jordan Schwartz who has presented talks to
us in both the LA and OC chapters returns to host a panel discussion focused
on the various aspects of UNIX server virtualization. The panel members that
will include some of UUASC's biggest names on the topic will take questions
from our audience.
The panel includes Sun Engineer John Clingan who returns to talk about Dynamic
System Domains, Logical Domains, and Zones. Phil Anthony from VMware returns
to speak about VMware ESX and VMotion. Charles Wyble makes his UUASC speaking
debut by talking about Open Source UNIX virtualization projects including XEN
and QEMU, and a speaker to be announced will talk about IBM UNIX
Virtualization solutions including Dynamic Logical Partitions, Micro
Partitions and Vitrual I/O partitions.
After the meeting, you are invited to mingle with many of the chapter members
at UUASC-LA's favorite dining and drinking spot. Details will be presented at
the meeting.

You should now be proceeding nortbound, in the right lane along Sepulveda

landmark. The meeting venue is in the Oracle building (222 Sepulveda) on the
Southeast corner, just before the intersection, on the right. The Free Parking

Parking:
Continue northbound across the intersection, turn into the first driveway on
the right, known as the LAX Business Park. Go through the raised gates, turn
right, find a parking space close to the traffic signal.

Short stairs lead from the raised parking lot to the sidewalk. Walk across the
intersection heading south. The UUASC meeting venue (Sun Microsystems office)
is in the "Oracle" building, closest to the southeast corner of the
Sepulveda/Grand intersection. Entrances are located on the Oracle building's
North and South sides. However, after business hours, the North side is
closed; go to the South entrance. If the doors are locked here, the security
guard can open it; politely knock on the door to get their attention.
Enter and sign in, inform the guard that you want to go to the Sun
Microsystems offices on the 10th floor. That means the elevators to the right,
and the guard will likely need to activate the elevator for you. The UUASC
meeting is in Sun's offices on the 10th floor.
For any questions on how to get there, call 310-607-2400. However, that number
won't be available after business hours (5:30). After that time, call

UUASC wants to especially thank member Matt Ingenthron of Sun for his
excellent hospitality. And, UUASC wants to thank our host, Sun Microsystems,
for the continued support of our meetings.

UUASC is for all persons using UNIX either personally or professionally, or
interested in learning more about UNIX. We recognize all varieties of UNIX,
including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, and BSD.
This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden your
skills and knowledge.
There are two UUASC chapters serving Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Meeting
locations for each chapter are detailed at our web site, http://www.uuasc.org.
Please visit our web site.
There are no dues or other membership requirements. More than 300 persons
receive our monthly meeting announcements. Meeting attendance varies to as
high as 75. Hershel Remer serves as UUASC president and leads a team of
volunteers who together manage the club. More volunteers are always needed.
Los Angeles County Chapter meetings are normally held the first Thursday of
each month from 7 to 9 pm ( or whenever we feel like stopping ). Generally,
meetings include a technical presentation on a hardware or software topic of
current interest to the UNIX community and a round-table discussion of current
topics of interest to the group. UUASC-LA needs future topic suggestions (and
volunteers)!!
