In this session, you will gain detailed insight into why and how German Pension Fund (Deutsche Rentenversicherung) migrated a monolithic mainframe application consisting of 3.5 million lines of code and 2,500 CICS COBOL programs and the required transaction environment to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z. In addition to reducing software costs through the use of open source software,
German Pension Fund can now rely on a consolidated system based on a modern, flexible and reliable operating system, which will also be used as the host system for content management and archiving systems. One of the main reasons for the move to Linux was that it can be used on multiple or different hardware platforms with minimal adaptations. And the biggest advantage of the IBM System z10 environment for German Pension Fund—
besides its legendary reliability and intelligent resource usage—clearly is that all application components run on a single machine, which means that administration effort and access times between z/OS and Linux are minimal.

How the City of Melrose Reached the Clouds with VMware on NetApp FlexPodNetApp
Located approximately seven miles north of Boston, Melrose is a small
city with a population of about 28,000. Since its settlement in the 18th century, Melrose has offered residents a desir- able compromise between a crowded metropolis and rural Massachusetts. Predominantly residential, with exqui- site Victorian homes dating from the late 1800s, the city has a long-standing tradition of self-sufficiency, with excel- lent schools and cultural attractions.
However, the city’s IT infrastructure had become outdated. To achieve the growth and sustainability necessary for a more promising future, Chief Infor- mation Officer Jorge Pazos began to investigate what innovations were pos- sible within IT that could leverage exist- ing technology investments yet find new ways to generate revenue.

1) Gulf Insurance conducted intensive JAD sessions in 1990 to define their computing architecture and critical applications at a high level. This resulted in enterprise data and process models that were used to craft a development plan.
2) Gulf has since implemented 30 projects identified from the JAD sessions, focusing initially on the most critical applications to support the business. This has delivered several successful client/server applications running on a 3-tier architecture using OS/2, Novell, and IBM mainframes.
3) The key applications delivered include Submission, Reinsurance, Producer, Policy and Diary systems. Gulf has had success with their OS/2 desktop environment but may evaluate porting some applications to Windows in the future.
Cloud Computing is a growing research topic in recent years. The key concept of Cloud Computing is to provide a resource sharing model based on virtualization, distributed file system, parallel algorithm and web services. But how can we provide a testbed for cloud computing related training courses? In this talk we will share our experience to build cloud computing testbed for virtualization, high throughput computing and bioinformatics applications. It covers lots of open source projects, such as DRBL, Xen, Hadoop and bioinformatics related applications.
In short, Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL) provides a diskless or systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS and SuSE. DRBL uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware.
Xen is one of open source hypervisor for linux kernel. It had been used in Amazon EC2 production environment to provide cloud service model (1) — "Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)". In this talk, we will show you how DRBL can help on fast deployment of Xen playground in classroom.
Hadoop is becoming the well-known open source cloud computing technology developed by Apache community. It is very power tool for data mining. It had been used in Yahoo and Facebook production environment to provide cloud service model (2) — "Platform as a Service (PaaS)". It’s easy to setup single hadoop node but difficult to manage a hadoop cluster. In this talk, we will show you how DRBL can help on fast deployment and management.
Most bioinformatics applications are open source, such as R, Bioconductor, BLAST, Clustal, PipMaker, Phylip, etc. But it also require traditional cluster job submission. In this talk we will show you how DRBL can help to build a testbed of bioinformatics research and provide cloud service model (3) — "Software as a Service (SaaS)". In this talk, we will cover how to:
- 1. Use DRBL to deploy Xen virtual cluster (drbl-xen)
- 2. Use DRBL to deploy Hadoop cluster (drbl-hadoop)
- 3. Use DRBL to deploy bioinformatics cluster (drbl-biocluster)
A live demonstration about drbl-hadoop and drbl-biocluster will be done in the talk, too.

The document discusses key considerations for monitoring cloud services from a service provider perspective. It recommends that monitoring tools actively map topologies, correlate physical and virtual infrastructure to applications, monitor networks and support various cloud flavors. The tools should also enable application-centric monitoring, automation/orchestration, self-healing, awareness of business services and their dependencies, and integrate with support services. This allows for faster time to deploy monitoring at scale across hybrid cloud environments.
Similar to German Pension Fund Goes Linux: Legacy Application Migration to z/Linux with Minimal Risk (20)
The document discusses different options for providing mobile file access and sharing for employees. Consumer-grade cloud services are easy for users but lack security controls. Enterprise cloud services provide more security but require duplicating management efforts and often have empty data repositories. Hybrid cloud/on-premise solutions have similar issues and still require separate storage and management. The best option is an on-premise, file system integrated solution that leverages existing files, systems, processes and controls rather than requiring new infrastructure and management.
