Monitoring of all resources is also enabled through CloudWatch.
OpenStack at Bloomberg
Jacob Rosenberg gave a presentation on OpenStack at Bloomberg. He discussed why Bloomberg uses a private cloud (to have proximity to data and control customization). Bloomberg chose OpenStack because it had the most established community but wanted to make their own technology choices, resulting in them building their own OpenStack-based private cloud called BCPC. The cloud has seen significant adoption within Bloomberg with growth of instances and CPUs, though some challenges were faced integrating existing systems. Future plans include further promoting adoption, container hosting, and new hardware capabilities.

Webinar: How to Put an End to Hyperconverged Silos
Hyperconverged Infrastructure is supposed to simplify the data center by creating an environment that automatically scales as new applications and workloads are added to it. The problem is that the current generation of HCI solutions can only address specific use cases like virtual desktops or tier 2 applications. First generation HCI solutions don’t have the per node power to accommodate enterprise workloads and tier 1 applications. The organization needs a next generation HCI solution, HCI 2.0, that can address HCI 1.0 shortcomings and fulfill the original promises of HCI; Lower costs, faster innovation, simpler scale, single vendor and unified management. The combination enables HCI 2.0 to handle a variety of storage intensive workloads.

Florin Loghiade - Azure Site Recovery si Backup in Microsoft Azure
Nevoia de protecție a datelor și de asigurare împotriva “dezastrelor” nu este un concept nou în ziua de azi. Când vorbim de siguranța datelor, nu contează că vorbim de firme mici, medii sau enterprise-uri cu zece mii de angajati – toate au un lucru în comun, și anume că lucrează cu date și folosesc resurse IT pentru bunul mers al business-ului.
Soluțiile de backup și de disaster recovery tradiționale din ziua de azi au dezavantajul că cer în primă fază o investiție majoră pentru implementare și apoi au nevoie de resurse alocate (oameni, bani, timp) pentru menținerea și testarea lor. Când vrei să implementezi o soluție de backup într-o companie, trebuie să cumperi serverul, să instalezi și să configurezi soluția de backup și să ai grija ca tot pachetul să funcționeze tot timpul. Când vorbim insă de disaster recovery, practic trebuie să construim un datacenter nou care să mimice datacenter-ul actual și să-l ținem sincronizat și în standby pentru momentul în care un dezastru apare.
În aceasta sesiune vom discuta despre cum Recovery Services din Azure ne poate ajuta pe noi să ne construim și să implementăm planul de backup și de disaster recovery cu costuri inițiale minime și cu un cost lunar în funcție de cât folosim. Utilizând serviciile din Azure, nu mai avem nevoie să achiziționăm servere ca să facem backup, nu mai avem nevoie să construim datacentere pentru disaster recovery, respectiv nu mai avem nevoie să alocăm timp pentru a meține soluțiile actualizate.

This presentation was from Joomla day 2016 held right here in KLCC Malaysia. Astiostech presented several important factors to consider when monitoring a web service with of course special focus on Joomla. However, these guidelines can be used for just about any web service you may want to monitor. Monitoring is pivotal to a web infrastructure and it should not be considered today as a luxury. With tools like Nagios XI, we can simply start monitoring with mere clicks of a web browser and you're pretty much on the right track.
OpenStack in the Enterprise
This document discusses Comcast's use of OpenStack for cloud computing. It notes that Comcast has 34 regions, over 700 tenants, and 20,000 instances running on OpenStack. It details Comcast's history with OpenStack, including starting in 2012 with three regions on Essex and upgrading to newer versions over time. Currently, Comcast runs IceHouse across 34 regions, with over 960,000 cores, 20,000 VMs, and plans to deploy Mitaka this year across multiple regions.

Short introduction to Redis
Jimmy Zöger presented on Cloud Computing and covered Redis, a data structure server that supports data types like strings, lists, sets and hashes. Redis stores data in memory and persists it to disk if needed, and features atomic operations, transactions, expirations and publish/subscribe capabilities. Major companies like Instagram, Stack Overflow, Twitter, Flickr and GitHub use Redis for caching, real-time delivery and other uses.
Stateful Applications On the Cloud: A PayPal Journey
1) PayPal operates a large OpenStack cloud platform with over 10,000 physical servers hosting 100,000 VMs to run over 1000 services for their business.
2) They wanted to move stateful applications like messaging, streaming, caching and databases to the cloud but faced challenges with agility, efficiency, elasticity and onboarding while preserving stateful data.
3) After evaluating options like network block storage, ephemeral disks, and hyperconverged storage, they chose to use VMs with attached local disks which does not lose data when VMs are lost and has lower network bandwidth needs and costs, though storage is lost if the host fails.
Automate your development and operation processes!
Nico Meisenzahl gives a presentation about automating development and operations processes. He discusses automating infrastructure provisioning, configurations, orchestration, application delivery, and security using tools like Packer, Terraform, and Ansible. Nico also talks about implementing continuous integration/delivery pipelines and treating infrastructure as code. The goal is to avoid manual work and enable flexible collaboration across teams through cultural changes like DevOps.
Running OpenStack in Production
The document discusses best practices for running OpenStack in production from the perspective of lessons learned from real enterprise customers. It recommends setting realistic expectations given an organization's realities rather than comparing to hyperscalers. It also advocates embracing change by using orchestration to manage a hybrid and evolving technology stack across private and public clouds. Through a banking customer example, it shows how partnerships rather than outsourcing provide agility. A demo then illustrates deploying and managing applications across OpenStack and VMware and using Kubernetes for microservices on a hybrid cloud. The bank was able to deploy 5000 VMs, reduce costs by 40%, and introduce new technologies and platforms in under a year through this hybrid cloud strategy.

Filesystem Comparison: NFS vs GFS2 vs OCFS2
The document compares the performance of NFS, GFS2, and OCFS2 filesystems on a high-performance computing cluster with nodes split across two datacenters. Generic load testing showed that NFS performance declined significantly with more than 6 nodes, while GFS2 maintained higher throughput. Further testing of GFS2 and OCFS2 using workload simulations modeling researcher usage found that OCFS2 outperformed GFS2 on small file operations and maintained high performance across nodes, making it the best choice for the shared filesystem needs of the project.
What is the ServiceStack?
The document describes what ServiceStack is and provides examples of its capabilities. It begins by asking what ServiceStack is, where it came from, and what it does. It then discusses how earlier attempts at SOA failed and what ServiceStack learned from those experiences. Key points are that ServiceStack focuses on message-based services, code-first POCOs, and maximum productivity. Examples show how ServiceStack simplifies common tasks like JSON serialization, ORM, caching, and more.

This document summarizes a lecture on the Google File System (GFS). Some key points:
1. GFS was designed for large files and high scalability across thousands of servers. It uses a single master and multiple chunkservers to store and retrieve large file chunks.
2. Files are divided into 64MB chunks which are replicated across servers for reliability. The master manages metadata and chunk locations while clients access chunkservers directly for reads/writes.
3. Atomic record appends allow efficient concurrent writes. Snapshots create instantly consistent copies of files. Leases and replication order ensure consistency across servers.

12 Architectural Requirements for Protecting Business Data in the Cloud
Designing a cloud data system architecture that protects your precious data when operating business-critical applications and workloads in the cloud is of paramount importance to cloud architects today. Ensuring the high-availability for your company’s applications and protecting business data is challenging and somewhat different than in traditional on-premise data centers.
For most companies with hundreds to thousands of applications, it’s impractical to build all of these important capabilities into every application’s design architecture. The cloud storage infrastructure typically only provides a subset of what’s required to properly protect business data and applications.
So how do you ensure your business data and applications are architected correctly and protected in the cloud?
In this webinar, we covered:
-Best Practices for protecting business data in the cloud
-How To design a protected and highly-available cloud system architecture
-Lessons Learned from architecting thousands of cloud system architectures
Migrate Existing Applications to AWS without Re-engineering
Migrating existing applications to the cloud can take weeks, if not months to complete. By moving your existing applications to AWS, you can take immediate advantage of: security, reliability, instant scalability and elasticity, isolated processes, reduced operational effort, on-demand provisioning and automation. But how do you migrate your existing applications to AWS without re-architecting?
In this webinar, we covered:
-Best Practices for migrating applications to AWS
-Design & Architectural considerations for cloud storage - including security and data protection
-How to design cloud storage for applications on AWS
-Lessons Learned from thousands of application migrations to AWS
-Demo: how to migrate an existing application to AWS without re-architecting
SoftNAS Cloud NAS vs. Basic File Services
When choosing a product for cloud data storage, it’s critical to understand the differences between an enterprise-class, full featured NAS virtual storage appliance like SoftNAS Cloud versus basic file services products.
For enterprise-class workloads, data protection requirements like high-availability, replication, snapshots and RAID support are important. For security and data protection, consider products that provide at-rest encryption, in-transit encryption, snapshots and rollback. For optimization between cost and performance, consider choosing products that allow a mix of performance solutions and cost savings solutions.
SoftNAS Architecture on AWS
Network Attached Storage (NAS) software is commonly deployed to provide shared file services to users and applications. SoftNAS Cloud, a popular NAS solution that can be deployed from the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace, is designed to support a variety of market verticals, use cases, and workload types.
SoftNAS Cloud is deployed on the AWS platform to enable block and file storage services through NFS, CIFS/SMB, iSCSI and AFP.
This paper addresses architectural considerations when deploying SoftNAS Cloud on AWS. It also provides best practice guidance for security, performance, high availability, and backup.
Should you keep your On-Premises NAS: Upgrade, Pay Maintenance or Public Cloud?
The maintenance bill is due for your on-premises SAN/NAS--or it just increased. It’s hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars just to keep your existing storage gear under maintenance. And you know you will need to purchase more storage capacity for this aged hardware. Do you renew and commit another 3-5 years by paying the storage bill and further commit to a data center architecture? Do you make a forklift upgrade and buy new SAN/NAS gear or move to hyperconverged infrastructure? Do you move to the AWS cloud for greater flexibility and agility? Will you give up security and data protection?
In this webinar and demo, we covered:
1. Pros/Cons: on-premises SAN/NAS vs. hyperconverged infrastructure vs. AWS cloud storage
2. Demo: “Lift and shift” on-premises storage to AWS without re-architecting applications
3. How to fund a move to public cloud storage with existing budget

Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
