Sessions for SUSE Workshop (Tuesday, September 22nd)Track 1Experience SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 10:15am -11:00am Learn about the innovation and business value that SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 delivers. Hear the capabilities of the industry's newest and most powerful enterprise platform and how it will help you reduce cost, complexity and risk from the desktop to the data center. Whether you are considering solutions for your mission-critical data center and UNIX migration, building out your virtualized infrastructure, looking at Green IT enablers, or seeking client computing solutions, we'll show you how SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 creates business value for all of these and more. Includes a view of the roadmap. Speaker: Matthias Eckermann, Senior Product Manager Linux and Windows Interoperability 11:15am -12:00pm The multi-faceted collaboration between Novell and Microsoft is providing practical solutions to customers' real-life IT challenges. It also gives our partners the ability to offer richer solutions. The partnership is focused on several technology areas that enable better interoperability between Linux and Windows platforms: virtualization, systems management, directory and identity management, document format compatibility, accessible computing and the Moonlight multimedia framework for Silverlight on Linux. This session will provide an update on each of these areas and how you can take advantage of SUSE Linux Enterprise for easy interoperability with Windows systems. Speaker: Frank Rego, Senior Product Manager The Future of the Linux Desktop 2:45pm-3:30pm Customers have been seeking an alternative to Windows that allows them to take advantage of exciting desktop innovation with increased security and lower costs, while maintaining robust capabilities to meet end user needs. According to ComputerWorld, the new SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 is the first "True Windows Replacement" – join us and learn why. In addition, see the SUSE Edition of Moblin operating system that will re-shape the way customers use netbooks and nettops. Novell has worked closely with Intel to provide many engaging applications and develop the user interface that has raised the bar on the mobile computing experience. Speaker: Greg Kroah-Hartman Discover SUSE Studio and Create Your Own Software Appliance 3:45pm-4:30pm Over the last decade, computing platforms have evolved and proliferated to meet new use cases and customer demands – appliances, cloud computing, mobile computing, and thin clients to name a few. Mass customization of hardware has enabled this proliferation through cost effective construction of products that feel customized, but are based on standard and fully supported components. Customers are now demanding software vendors provide the same kind of fully supported mass customization that they have come to expect from their hardware vendors. SUSE Studio is a breakthrough Novell solution that meets this demand, enabling the creation of mass customized, fully supported Linux. Come see SUSE Studio in action and learn how you can create software appliances – to achieve the benefits of simplified deployment, easier maintenance, and greater security for your next application deployment. Speaker: Alan Clark, Emerging Standards Track 2Run .NET applications on Linux! - The Mono project 10:15am-11:00am Sponsored by Novell, the Mono open source project has an active and enthusiastic contributing community and is positioned to become a key enabler for the development of Linux applications. ASP.NET is a web application framework developed by Microsoft which programmers use to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (CLR), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported .NET language. Mono, provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Solaris, offers a robust implementation of ASP.NET 2.0. Come learn more about this innovative technology. Speaker: Darren Davis, ISV Technical Manager Migrating from UNIX to Linux 11:15am -12:00pm Every day customers are lowering costs and increasing flexibility and freedom by migrating from UNIX to Linux. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server combines the reliability, performance and scalability of UNIX with lower cost of ownership and increased flexibility. Learn about the advanced capabilities of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 and the expert migration services provided by our global partners. Organizations such as German Air Traffic Control have saved millions of dollars while achieving the highest uptime for their critical applications. See how Novell and our partners can deliver the same value to your organization. We will also address how to port applications from UNIX to Linux. Speaker: Darren Davis, ISV Technical Manager Server and workload consolidation with Linux on the Mainframe 2:45pm-3:30pm As an IT leader, you face the constant, growing demand for services and applications. You need a way to increase your service levels and maintain manageability, while still reducing costs and minimizing risk. This is a difficult balancing act because higher service levels typically require you to add more computing resource, which correspondingly increases your system complexity and costs. Learn how to avoid this scenario – while reducing costs and risk – by consolidating workloads with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z. An important aspect of mainframe-based server consolidation is determining which workloads are most appropriate for running on Linux on System z. This session will examine the types of workloads that are excellent candidates for migrating to Linux on System z. Speaker: Matthias Eckermann, Senior Product Manager Reduce Unplanned Downtime and Lower Costs with High Availability Clustering 3:45-4:30pm The SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension, based on leading open source clustering components, makes SUSE Linux Enterprise Server the ideal platform for running mission-critical workloads. Learn about the capabilities and business benefits of this solution – which offers enterprise-class high availability clustering, data replication, and an integrated cluster file system.
