Replication Between Datacenters with Red Hat JBoss Data Grid

Bela Ban — Consulting Software Engineer, Red Hat

The datacenters of today’s global businesses are often located in various sites around the world. And in order to help ensure their safety, the data is often replicated both within sites and between sites. This cross-site replication is challenging as links between sites are often bandwidth constrained and have high latency.

In this session, Bela Ban will provide an overview of Red Hat JBoss Data Grid’s cross-site replication functionality, which stores data redundantly across multiple sites. He will also briefly discuss architecture and configuration.

For the majority of the session, Bela will demonstrate the product’s response to two scenarios: 1) site failure (where he’ll kill a site) and 2) follow-the-sun (where he’ll demonstrate a graceful failover from one site to another). In both cases, attendees will see that client failover from one site to another site is achieved while the data is still available.

Attendees are encouraged to fire up their own clients, create some data, and verify that their data is preserved across site failures during the session. They will leave the session with a better understanding of what cross-site clustering is and how to configure and run it, as well as Red Hat and JBoss Community plans for the future of xsite replication.

Joe Fernandes — Manager, Product Management, Red Hat

Gunnar Hellekson — Chief Technology Strategist, Red Hat US Public Sector, Red Hat

Dan Juengst — Senior Product Marketing Manager, Red Hat

John Keck — Senior Manager, Software Engineering, Red Hat

The increasing demand for new business applications and services has put a strain on development teams and the overall enterprise IT organization. Developers are seeking greater agility and efficiency and putting greater demands on IT leaders to enable them. And those IT leaders are looking to standardize and accelerate developer workflows, improve operational efficiency, and make more efficient use of infrastructure. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) holds great promise for addressing many of these challenges, but needs to be available in a form that an enterprise can adopt and trust.

In this session, Red Hat representatives will explain how PaaS can help address the challenges that are facing enterprise IT teams. They will also demonstrate, using a real customer example, how Red Hat can enable organizations to deploy an enterprise PaaS platform with OpenShift Enterprise.

Scale-out Infrastructure for Flight Availability

Paul Hubert — System Administrator, Amadeus

To cope with the growing demand of flight availability requests, Amadeus is in the process of redesigning its infrastructure where one key component is the scale-out NAS, Red Hat Storage Server. Main Online Travel Agency (OTA) as well as meta-search sites demand the processing of recommendations considering all possible airlines as well as covering a calendar period around the give request. This inflation of data search and computing put a high constraint on the store infrastructure, which needs to be as elastic as customer needs. In this session, Paul Hubert from Amadeus will highlight how this was achieved by using the Red Hat Storage Server.

Amadeus is a leading transaction processor and provider of advanced technology solutions for the global travel and tourism industry. Customer groups include: travel providers (e.g. airlines, hotels, rail, ferries, etc.), travel sellers (travel agencies and websites), and travel buyers (corporations and individual travelers). The group operates a transaction-based business model and processed more than 947 million billable travel transactions in 2011.

Taking Back Control of Data Mobility

Veda Shankar — Solution Architect, Red Hat

Mobility and access to data are fundamental to today’s enterprise. As the consumerization of IT is putting pressures on IT teams to act like services organizations, enterprises have been forced to turn to external cloud services to collaborate. This is causing continual grief as enterprises are creating new silos of data, which come with privacy, compliance and business risk concerns, that they cannot control.

What if your storage solution could prevent these concerns while giving you back control? What if you didn’t have to synchronize your enterprise data with your new cloud silo? What if you could offer your customers the same capabilities they are used to receiving from external cloud services?

You can. And in this session, we’ll tell you how.

Liberate your Files: A Solution from Vizuri using ownCloud, OpenShift, & Red Hat Storage Server

Isaac Christoffersen — Architect, Vizuri

Matt Richards — Product Strategist, ownCloud

Ted Brunell — Solution Architect, Red Hat

Many of today’s enterprises are working under the false assumption that there is a trade off between consumer-centric file sharing and corporate IT policy compliance. This assumption is common because market-leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for file syncing and sharing are not designed around enterprise IT needs. They represent growing risks with vendor lock-in, data security, compliance, and data ownership.

Fortunately, by leveraging innovative open source solutions from Red Hat and ownCloud, enterprises can provide a simple-to-use file syncing and sharing solution for employees. And this solution enables enterprises to have greater control over valuable intellectual property.

In this session, representatives from Vizuri, ownCloud, and Red Hat will:

Identify the risks involved with public cloud-based solutions
Share use cases for private cloud solutions
Discuss how hybrid and on-premise solutions are both achievable and secure.

Vizuri will demonstrate a hybrid cloud file-sync and share SaaS solution, designed using OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat, ownCloud, and Red Hat Storage Server, that delivers an integrated mobile, desktop, and web-based solution.

Optimizing HPC Clouds for NASA with Red Hat Solutions

Hoot Thompson — Systems Engineer, NASA GSFC

D. John Shakshober — Senior Consulting Engineer, Red Hat

Mark Wagner — Senior Principal Engineer, Red Hat

The NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) pursues new and innovative technologies that will advance its high performance computing (HPC) offerings. One such technology is server virtualization, which has the potential to spawn virtual HPC clusters in private and commercial clouds. NCCS’ strategy is to allocate resources as compute load or special processing needs dictate. This requires a software infrastructure that stands up and tears down clusters on demand. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Virutalization provide a foundation for fulfilling this vision.

Testing has shown that virtualized Infiniband and guest performance will be key to the success of such a hybrid computing philosophy. Various optimizations (e.g., guest placement, support of non-uniform memory, x86_64 huge page support, and SR-IOV) have allowed NCCS to utilize virtual machines that approach the bare metal performance on loads such as Linpack and the NAS Parallel Benchmarks (MPI).

In this session, NASA’s Hoot Thompson and representatives from Red Hat will discuss this use case for virtualized HPC clusters. They will also describe the test environment and thoroughly review test results.

Stitching Infrastructure Layers with Identity Management Thread

Anil Saldhana — Lead Middleware Security Architect, Red Hat

Dmitri Pal — Senior Manager, Software Engineering, Red Hat

The times in which each developer had a dedicated development machine and all the tools installed locally are long gone. And contemporary development platforms are much more complex, consisting of multiple, varying layers that together provide a service to the developers. These platforms have benefits and challenges.

Because environments need to be managed in dynamic ways, making sure all the layers are working properly together and are secure becomes critical. Identity management is the common thread that stitches all the layers together to both enforce policies and provide a consistent experience to development and engineering operations organizations.

Identity management affects all layers of an infrastructure, including platform, middleware, and cloud. Session attendees will leave this session with a better understanding about identity management strategies across an enterprise.

Veda Shankar — Solution Architect, Red Hat

Much of the discussion around big data has centered around the Hadoop community. However, since Hadoop’s appearance on the technology stage, more than 250 big data tools have entered the market, ranging from next-generation analytics platforms, search-based technologies, new database system types, and much more. What do these big data solutions have in common? The massive amounts of data necessary to realize the benefits of these new technologies.

In this session, we’ll take a look at the broader set of available tools and discuss how to align an open, software-defined storage strategy with them to bring more intelligence to data, enable data locality across a range of tools, and simultaneously manage the massive amounts of data efficiently and cost effectively.

Red Hat-powered, Energy-efficient Hyperscale ARM Server

Jon Masters — Chief ARM Architect, Red Hat

Red Hat demonstrated a bicycle-powered, energy-efficient HP ARM server at Red Hat Summit 2012, integrating a full server solution onto a single hyperscale system-on-chip. ARM servers have created a lot of buzz since then.

In the intervening months, we have invested heavily in the Fedora community, enhancing the Fedora ARM Project, and introducing initial support for the first 64-bit ARM server systems. Red Hat has also joined the Linaro Enterprise Group as a founding member and has taken a strong leadership position in the definition of the first ARM server standards. As a powerful player in the development of emerging technologies, Red Hat will continue ARM development in the year ahead.

In this session, Jon Masters will provide an update on all of the exciting work bringing Red Hat expertise to ARM server systems.

The Bright Future of OpenJDK

Deepak Bhole — Engineering Manager, Red Hat Canada Ltd., Red Hat

Red Hat has long been heavily involved in the world of Java and before OpenJDK, the company dedicated significant resources toward GCJ. Since the advent of OpenJDK, most of those GCJ resources have been diverted toward OpenJDK.

Today, Red Hat is working on multiple aspects of OpenJDK from both development and performance perspectives. In this session, Deepak Bhole will discuss:

The work Red Hat is doing to brighten the future of Java through OpenJDK
The work being done toward OpenJDK 8 and its planned features and enhancements
Red Hat’s plans for OpenJDK 9 and 10, including plans for ARM64 port, Thermostat (an open source monitoring, profiling, instrumenting, and management tool for the JVM), and Garbage collection

Introducing a New Linux Management API: OpenLMI

Russell Doty — Technology Strategist, Red Hat

This session addresses some of the hardest challenges faced by Linux system managers, including the configuring, managing, and monitoring of production servers. This is typically done by an experienced system administrator using a patchwork of standalone tools running on each system. There is a better way to work – to manage more systems in less time with less work – and it doesn’t require learning an entirely new way of working.

OpenLMI (the Linux Manageability Infrastructure program) provides a standard API for the remote and local configuration, management, and monitoring of key subsystems, including storage, networks, system services, and software. It is a new project focused on production servers that can range from high-end enterprise servers with complex network and storage configurations to virtual guests. OpenLMI is usually used to manage bare metal servers and directly manipulate system hardware, but it is equally capable of managing and monitoring virtual machine guests. Further, OpenLMI will support multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux; it isn’t just for new systems.

In this session, attendees will learn about the cost savings and operational improvements that can be gained from using OpenLMI for management tasks. They will also learn how to use OpenLMI (in the familiar Linux way) to take advantage of the capabilities and benefits of this new technology, including central policy management and advanced automation of operations.

Network Virtualization & Software-defined Networking

Chris Wright — Technical Director Software-Defined Networking, Red Hat

Enterprise datacenter virtualization and cloud computing have put new pressures on the network. Traditionally, virtual compute workloads gained access to the network through simple hypervisor resident virtual switches bridging to physical VLANs. As these workloads scale in the cloud and move dynamically throughout the datacenter, the limits of a simple VLAN solution are stressed.

In this session, Chris Wright will look at new protocols and encapsulations like OpenFlow and VXLAN, new technologies such as Open vSwitch, and new concepts such as the software-defined network controller. He will examine how these innovations work together to reshape networking in the virtual datacenter.

Platform Needs Middleware & Middleware Needs Platform

Brian Likosar — Principal Solution Architect, Red Hat

Joel Tosi — Senior Solution Architect, Red Hat

Java developers and system administrators have the same goal – to deliver value to their customers and their companies. Some of us create the environment, keeping it stable, secure, and performant. While others of us create the software that our users ultimately interact with.

As enterprise Java developers, we write our code and maybe help with some JVM tuning. For the most part, a different person or group is responsible for the platform our code, container, and applications run on. As Java developers, it would be valuable to understand how to better tune, debug, and secure our systems.

As system administrators, we are happy running an operating system… but what’s the deal with these applications running in it? Why does it always seem like Java is leaking memory? What sort of tuning can we do in the operating system to help their applications perform better?

Join this birds of a feather session to get the answers to these questions, as well as discuss message logs, SELinux, iptables, networking, system constraints, and cgroups. This session is designed to have both sides of the environment working together to get a better understanding of tools and concepts that can help us in delivering great solutions.
