The open source symposium was held in Taj Residency, Bangalore on October 17 and 18, 2006. The event was conducted by Red Hat, sponsored by AMD and the study was based on IDC research and surveys. Speakers talked about the trends in industry, business and revenue model of Red Hat, how open source can be applied to architecture, software, middleware and participation hardware.Ahora same open-source developers in the APAC region and India in specific is miniscule . They spread some awareness about open source platform from Red Hat and threw some light on how to participate in the open source community and how everyone can benefit from this modelo.Según a recent IDC study, the adoption of open source business has manifold grown, companies worldwide are increasing investment in open source technologies.
Currently, companies have begun to benefit from the quality, cost and flexibility of open source license. Beyond the scope of the benefits of adopting open source, also spoke about the support of open standards for the community contributions of code abierto.Algunos of topics of interest below: The Power to Choose: Open Source ArchitectureLa long-term vision Open Source Architecture is based on open standards and interoperability. The Open Source Architecture offers a set of standards-based technologies and services, allowing open source and traditional software applications that can co-exist and deploy reliable, secure, scalable, high-performance platforms. The company has the power to assemble and dissemble the architecture, software, middleware, hardware and applications that meet the objectives of empresa.

Software Open Source (OSS): With the OSS, the code is protected by a special license GNU General Public License (GPL), which ensures that everyone has access to the code. This means that no company complete their respective owners. You can change the code and learn. Errors are quickly identified and corrected. And if customers do not like how one vendor is serving them, they can choose another without a review of its infrastructure. No lock on the technology. No monopolios.El marriage between SOA (Service Oriented Architecture, or software as a service) and OSS, although not revolutionary, because the weight of the existing IT is undoubtedly evolve gradually. The CEO and CIO is not happy with the lock-in and the tight integration of architecture and the price they pay.
This problem is well addressed by SOA and OSS.El second day was Red Hat Developer Day, aimed at bringing Linux developers and users to the growth of open source technologies to help. Red Hat provides a platform for improving development, techniques, tools and standards through the exchange of expertise and experience. These efforts are the promotion of open source development in India. Red Hat has launched Red Hat Development Program, a community development program in India by Red Hat 108. Red Hat 108 is a community of developers and code opening.Powdered other topics listed are: – Virtualization: Virtualization: the operating system is isolated from the hardware running. Many operating systems can run on a machine, and different workloads can easily be combined and moved. With virtualization, you can: Move workloads servidor.Cambio server hardware without retesting softwarePermite fault isolation and control of access to datos.Manipular processing power and space capacity for safe stopping maximize pruebas.
La virtualization technology can help reduce costs by optimizing and increasing the use of computer systems. He refused to comment on the licensing system. It can be paid by each operating system (if 3 instances running on a computer system, they charge for 3 licenses) or hardware (ie independent of the operating system that many have been installed on a PC). The acquisition of Red Hat’s JBoss: This step is strategically developed to improve the presence of Red Hat in the middleware. They wanted to deliver a complete server application stack. JBoss provides a very comprehensive set of applications, the J2EE server, portal, development IDE, transaction management, etc. This gives Red Hat a middleware stack that performs better than its competitors by thousands of dollars. JBoss makes more sense here and are, in fact, your application server. They will be able to make some really tight integration and give their customers an out-of-the-box solution that should make J2EE fine.
It is still unclear whether JBoss is bundled with Red Hat ahora.SystemTapSystemTap a profit of Red Hat to enable developers and administrators to write scripts for a thorough examination of the dynamics of the activities of the Linux kernel. Data can be filtered, extracted, and summarized for quick problem diagnosis complejos.JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON) JBoss is a console based on the advanced management platform for inventorying, managing, monitoring and updating applications JEMS. JBoss is a plea based platform that runs on JBoss local.El main modules: in stock, the catalog IT assets voltage platforms (Linux, HP / UX, Solaris, Windows, AIX), servers (Apache Web Server, Apache Tomcat, JBoss AS) and services (EJB, Message Driven Beans, data sources). Assets can be added manually or automatically detected provide greater insight into their critical business applications, including their versions and offers a central location dependencias.
Administración key control functions such as start, stop and start through entire JEMS platform. How the government can be applied to a single application or in a cluster. Activities can also be scheduled for later dates, on demand or on a recurring basis. This module also allows rolling back to earlier versions as necesario.La Monitoring provides extensive monitoring capabilities for the JEMS platform along with supporting components, such as operating systems (Windows, Linux and UNIX), Apache Tomcat, Apache Web server and applications based on JEMS. The Monitoring Module continuously generates and updates a model of the behavior of each measurement is obtained. Allows you to define alerts on the actual behavior of your infrastructure. Baselines are also used to identify problems in the band.
Allows you to quickly identify resources within your infrastructure that require attention, and get a historical picture of what was happening at the time of falla.El JBoss Portal: JBoss Portal is a business friendly open source license them for free download, use, integrate and distribute. JBoss Portal provides a framework for centralized and secure access to applications and information, which promotes cooperation, streamline business processes and reduce costs. Since JBoss Portal is based on open standards can be included as elements in standard portlets and portal reutilizables.El symposium on topics including Red Hat roadmap, reducing TCO and increasing ROI with JEMS (JBoss Enterprise Management Suite), the Security and ID Management , Red Hat Cluster Suite and Red Hat Global File System.
