Streamline & Accelerate IT Service Delivery with OpenShift Enterprise
Joe Fernandes — Product Marketing Manager, 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.

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.

Hypervisor Technology Comparison & Migration
Bhavna Sarathy — Senior Product Manager, Red Hat
Karen Noel — Manager, Software Engineering, Red Hat
Selecting the right virtualization solution for today’s modern datacenter is more complex than ever. And because server virtualization is a maturing, dynamic market, it includes factors at play that can result in datacenter migrations.
Today’s hypervisor technologies include: Citrix Xen, Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), Microsoft HyperV, and VMware ESX. The KVM hypervisor supports the largest x86 virtual machine, with industry-leading performance and an innovative architecture that benefits from the enhancements made to the Linux host. In addition, KVM hypervisor is well suited to run mission-critical applications in virtualized environments, utilizing the resource management and security features built within the products. KVM hypervisor is the foundational technology that powers Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, a complete, open source virtualization solution.
In this session, Bhavna Sarathy and Karen Noel will compare the leading hypervisor technologies and demonstrate a seamless Xen to KVM migration.

The road ahead
This track features sessions covering the trends and strategies driving the future of enterprise computing. Example topics include: big data, mobile, enterprise storage for the datacenter and cloud environments, and intelligent systems. Attendees will be among the first to know about what's coming from Red Hat and how to better plan for shifts in the IT landscape.
Linux Containers Overview & Roadmap
Bhavna Sarathy — Senior Product Manager, Red Hat
Daniel Walsh — Senior Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
Linux container technology allows a customer to carve a system out into isolated containers, and run applications securely within the confines of the containers. It facilitates multi-tenancy, which allows IT organizations to take better advantage of the large servers available in their datacenter. While multi-tenancy provides great flexibility for server resource management, especially for service providers, it introduces additional complexity, especially related to the security of applications and data that reside on the same server.
In this session, Bhavna Sarathy and Daniel Walsh will discuss resource management, namespacing, and the use of SELinux to tighten the security of Linux containers. Attendees will learn about the Linux container roadmap for Red Hat Enterprise Linux products and view a demonstration of secure Linux containers.

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.
