Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management

Thursday, July 25, 2013
10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET

In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

Red Hat Rebrands, Reconfigures Virtual Storage Appliance For Amazon AWS

February 08, 2012 09:00 AM
Less than four months after its acquisition by Red Hat, Gluster, now known as the Red Hat storage unit, is announcing new storage products. The Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services (AWS), announced this week, is essentially a rebranding of the Gluster product, or what the company refers to as "baselined." This means that it now uses the Red Hat Linux open-source operating system rather than the CentOS operating system it had used previously, and it has also been retested and re-certified. In addition, it now supports a new file system option, the Extensible File System (XFS).

Gluster Launches Beta That Stores VMs On NAS Devices

August 27, 2010 12:30 PM
Gluster is launching a beta program for VMStor, new software that will let administrators use NAS devices for virtual machine storage rather than SANs. The functionality, which will be offered as a module in the Gluster Storage Platform product, virtualizes storage by providing open source software on commodity x86 hardware that is clustered under a global name space. It can scale to multiple petabytes, supports NFS and works with a number of networking configurations, including 10GbE, 1GbE and Infiniband. The software lets users back up the storage and restore VMware-based VMs by copying a snapshot to the VM folder and restarting the machine. VMStor integrates with vSphere, VMware's management console.
