Oracle OpenWorld - Events of Interest
- by Larry Wake
I mentioned the "Focus On Oracle Solaris" document the other day, which lists many of the Solaris-related events at Oracle OpenWorld this year; today I thought I'd highlight a few sessions you might find interesting.
Monday, October 1st:
4:45 PM - Get Proactive: Best Practices for Maintaining and Upgrading Oracle Solaris (Moscone South 252)
This session covers best practices for upgrading and patching and how to take advantage of unique technologies in Oracle Solaris 10 and 11. Learn how to get maximum value from My Oracle Support for both reactive and proactive requirements. Understand the benefits of secure remote access and how Oracle Support experts use collaborative shared sessions combined with Oracle Solaris technologies such as DTrace.
Tuesday, October 2nd:
10:15 AM - How to Increase Performance and Agility with an Open Data Center Fabric (Moscone South 200)
If you haven't had a chance to hear about Xsigo Systems, this is a golden opportunity while you're at OpenWorld.
Now part of Oracle, Xsigo's network virtualization technology is designed to increase both application performance and management efficiency, through a combination of software-defined network technology and the industry’s fastest fabric, allowing data center to converge Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity to a single fabric, to reduce
complexity by 70 percent and CapEx by 50 percent while providing more
I/O bandwidth to your applications.
Wednesday, October 3rd:
10:15 AM - General Session: Oracle Solaris 11 Strategy, Engineering Insights, and Roadmap (Moscone South 103)
Markus Flierl, head of Oracle Solaris
Core Engineering, will outline the strategy and roadmap for Oracle
Solaris, how Oracle Solaris 11 is being deployed in cloud
computing and the unique optimizations in Oracle Solaris 11 for the
Oracle stack. The session also offers a sneak peek at the latest
technology under development in Oracle Solaris, and what customers can expect to see in the coming updates.
Plus, there are several Hands-On Labs:
