Monday and Tuesday I haven't attended the OOW, so Wednesday was my first day. Altogether we were presenting 3 sessions. On Wednesday afternoon it was out first session "Project MegaGrid: Deploying large clusters".
Abstract:
The successful deployment of an enterprise grid computing environment requires careful and thorough planning in order to build a flexible, easily scalable architecture. This architecture must be designed across application and database layers that can be realized by the concrete infrastructure of servers, networks, and network storage based on the enterprise grid computing model. At the core of this effort is an integrated application, database, server, and network storage management framework. This framework must accurately provision for growth and capacity expansion, involving multiple steps, including the fast and simple addition and removal of servers, storage volumes, and redundant networks for high availability. It is also important to develop a set of practical guidelines to deal with ongoing maintenance tasks such as software and patch upgrades, configuration and change tracking, health checking, and monitoring. Last, responses to unplanned outages, such as repair or replace and space capacity, need to be considered. This session reviews best-practice approaches to managing all of these aspects across an end-to-end enterprise grid computing environment consisting of applications, databases, low-cost and high-performance Linux based servers, and networked storage.
More people were attending than we initially expected. At the end of the session we answered a lot of questions. This definitely seems to be a topic a lot of people are interested in or a planning to deploy very soon. The presentation can be downloaded from the oracle web site (Presentation).
