wirbelsturm - Wirbelsturm is a Vagrant and Puppet based tool to perform 1-click local and remote deployments, with a focus on big data related infrastructure.
Based on who owns them, cloud computing platforms may entirely change how they operate. Depending on the entity or persons, there are different issues and needs. So that they may adjust to changing situations, cloud computing systems require scalability. They have developed many platforms using cloud computing to help them overcome these issues
By integrating state of the art server and storage technologies, the Sun Fire X4500 Server delivers the remarkable performance of a four-way x64 server and the highest storage density available, with up to 48 TB in 4U of rack space. This system also deliv
Chef is a systems integration framework, built to bring the benefits of configuration management to your entire infrastructure. With Chef, you can:
* Manage your servers by writing code, not by running commands. (via Cookbooks)
* Integrate tightly with your applications, databases, LDAP directories, and more. (via Libraries)
* Easily configure applications that require knowledge about your entire infrastructure ("What systems are running my application?" "What is the current master database server?")
In the months prior to leaving Heavy, I led an exciting project to build a hosting platform for our online products on top of Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). We eventually launched our newest product at Heavy using EC2 as the primary hosting platform. I’ve been following a lot of what other people have been doing with EC2 for data processing and handling big encoding or rendering jobs. We set out to build a fairly standard LAMP hosting infrastructure where we could easily and quickly add additional capacity. In fact, we can add new servers to our production pool in under 20 minutes, from the time we call the “run instance” API at EC2, to the time when public traffic begins hitting the new server. This includes machine startup time, adding custom server config files and cron jobs, rolling out application code, running smoke tests, and adding the machine to public DNS. What follows is a general outline of how we do this.
The common theme of Data Conservancy’s efforts is recognizing the need for institutional and community solutions to digital research data collection, curation and preservation challenges. DC tools and services incentivize scientists and researchers to participate in these data curation efforts by adding value to existing data and allowing the full potential of data integration and discovery to be realized.
ebruary second the Open Group released a new version of its framework TOGAF 9. TOGAF started out as a Technical Infrastructure Framework, started by the US Department of Defense in 1995 with TOGAF 1, and has grown out to a full framework for enterprise architecture in TOGAF version 9.
So why do you need a framework like TOGAF 9. From its origin IT was introduced to speedup business process so companies could make more money faster. Somewhere along the way IT became a technology driven, self sustaining machine where we all needed more gadgets without contributing to the added business value. Enterprise architecture is one of the ways to get the primary goal of IT back within normal costs and in control for a organization.
