LinuxCon Japan 2011 | Presentations

High Availability Clustering on Linux

Date: Thursday, June 2nd
Time: 4:00pm
Location: Room 502

Linux is the first choice among data center platforms, and has made steady progress into mission-critical environments; it runs stock exchanges and air traffic controllers just as well as databases. Over the years, a joint High-Availability Clustering Stack has evolved and converged; providing a best-of-breed, policy-driven solution that delivers advanced storage and service management features. This talk will cover the current capabilities and use cases, introduce the major components and projects, discuss the community and current Linux Foundation Working Group efforts, how to contribute, and present a glimpse of the open challenge and roadmap to address them.
