Starting July 15th at 9 am (local time in Brisbane, Australia - GMT +10), we'll be streaming the Kernel Conference Australia. Go to our UStream page for the live stream and to participate and ask questions via chat.
Of particular interest to the storage crowd: Jeff Bonwick and Bill Moore on ZFS Deduplication! 9:15 am tomorrow.
Going on now at the Grand Hyatt in San Francisco. There's still time to join the live video streams, and, if you're in town, stop by to visit the Community Marketplace while enjoying a drink and a fantastic view on the 36th floor.
Test Center: Sun's stellar NAS in a can - "...after only a few minutes of use, I was smitten. It's very attractive
and very accessible. In fact, it may be the most complete filer
interface I've ever seen, blowing the doors off Network Appliance's
Web-based manager..." - Paul Venezia, InfoWorld Test Center
Flash vs Cash - "...both Sun and its competitors are selling flash - but with Sun your cash
gets you cache, and with the others it just gets you flash..." - Paul Murphy, via Joerg Moellenkamp
ACLs on Shares - "With build 109 of Open Solaris, a new feature has been added to the CIFS server - ACLs on Shares..." - Doug McCallum
Countdown to the OpenSolaris Storage Summit - "We're wrapping up the final details for next Monday's OpenSolaris Storage Summit and hope to see you there! We have some great talks lined up (SmugMug, GoGrid, SETI along with the latest information on Sun's Open Storage efforts) and a Community Marketplace where you can chat with companies who are part of the OpenSolaris Storage community..." - Lynn Rohrer
Not the Bandwidth... It's the Latency That Gets You - "Data
needs to be stored or retrieved for devices that span from the small
mp3 player to that large cloud that you provide and/or utilize.
Specific to the storage of your data, performance fundamentally comes
down to how you manage your reads and writes." - Bob Porras
OpenSolaris Community Lending Project on Kiva - "...This is exactly why
global communities are valuable: people who are passionate embrace
opportunities to solve problems in new ways. If people are empowered
and able to connect, they self organize and get things done. They just
do it. So, want to help change someone`s life? Just jump right in." - Jim Grisanzio
