Sun BluePrints (Sun Reviewed Best Practices)
To break, or not to break: that is the question We just ran into that problem with a blog presented by longtime Sun BluePrints author Mikael Lofstrand. We are forced to make decision to keep the offending permalink, or to break it.
The VeriScale Architecture for a Scalable, Elastic, Self-provisioning Datacenter The modern datacenter is evolving into the cloud computing model, where networking, platform, storage, and software infrastructure are provisioned as services that can scale up or down on demand. This model allows the datacenter to be viewed as a collection of managed application services that are deployed automatically, while utilizing the underlying services. Providing sufficient elasticity and scalability for the rapidly evolving needs of the datacenter requires these collections of automatically-managed services to scale efficiently, and with essentially no limits. Sun calls this truly scalable approach a VeriScale architecture.
Simplification with Open Network Systems This week we announce the next evolution of Sun's Open Network Systems solution architecture, get ready, it's a long one: "Sun Open Network Systems Enterprise 2.0 Solution for Oracle".
Sun Storage 7000 Series Identity Mapping – Seamlessly Sharing Files Between Windows and Unix Platforms The need to integrate Windows platforms and UNIX platforms is definitely not a new challenge for IT professionals. More and more it is desired for Windows and UNIX platforms to share data in the same files on centralized storage systems. There are many solutions available to make this possible from simple volume level solutions to complex single sign-on solutions. All of these solutions are aimed to address the fact that Windows and UNIX platforms use different security structures for their user and group authentication to control access to files and directories. With OpenSolaris we (Sun) took a very intuitive approach to address this challenge by building the CIFS stack directly into the OpenSolaris kernel. With the CIFS stack built into the kernel, the new features of NFSv4, the new features ZFS and many other OS enhancements the door was wide open to deliver a seamless, ubiquitous, cross-protocol file sharing system.
Sun's Open Network System Design Approach to Virtualization This blog is about how to build a medium to large virtualization system with all the great new technology that we have today. The discussion points will take you from why virtualization, to defining some of the components that I would use, and then putting them all together.
