Deploying Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS in distributed environments with MAAS

Mark Baker Product Manager for Server & Cloud at Canonical
Many people use Ubuntu Server in scale-out environments for web infrastructure, cloud or big data applications. The sheer scale of these deployments - at companies like Netflix, Mercado Libre and Instagram - has many people now referring to ‘hyperscale computing’. Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS contains new technologies to help the rapid deployment and management of web services in distributed environments, so you can scale your infrastructure without scaling cost. Join Matthew Revell and Mark Baker from the Ubuntu Server team to learn about these new technologies and how they can help you benefit from the same infrastructure as the world’s leading web scale companies.

  • Virtual environments are excellent at providing an elastic, scalable environment for a myriad of workloads to thrive. Unfortunately, it's often too easy to over-provision resources or leave discarded and unwanted workloads, fostering a constrained environment due to virtual sprawl. However, did you know that this can also negatively impact the performance and growth of your critical workloads? In this session, you will learn to:

    - Identify virtual sprawl using advanced technical methods
    - Dig into performance related issues that can be caused by imbalanced or top heavy provisioning
    - Understand how to translate real world sprawl data into a solid business case for change
    - Exercise recommended practices to avoid falling deeper into the virtual sprawl trap

  • Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens was looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that would extend the flexibility of virtualization to his DR environment. The solution had to deliver enterprise-class support for his mission critical applications: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint and various CAD programs. The board of directors was specifically asking what the current solution was and what service levels could the infrastructure deliver.
    Zerto Virtual Replication installed seamlessly into their existing infrastructure, did not require any data center updates and is fully integrated into VMware vCenter.

    With Zerto Virtual Replication he was able to:
    - Realize very aggressive service levels – recovery point objectives of seconds and recovery time objectives of minutes
    - Deliver a better ROI with a DR solution that is hardware agnostic
    - Increase team productivity with a very simple solution
    - Quickly cross-train additional staff on DR processes and procedures
    - Optimize flexibility as changes to the environment required changes to the DR strategy
    - Test and validate the DR failover process without taking primary production systems offline

    Join Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens and Jennifer Gill, Director of Product Marketing at Zerto, to hear from your peers and learn about Zerto Virtual Replication.
