"Scalable, High Performance Compute and Storage Clustering with Red
Hat's Open Source Architecture"
 
With the recent acquisition of Sistina Software and its cluster file
system and volume management technologies, Red Hat is poised to further
broaden and strengthen its Open Source Architecture (OSA) for clustering
Lintel server and storage technologies. In this talk, we will describe
the GFS and CLVM clustering technologies, how they fit into the Red Hat
OSA, and how they can solve large scale compute problems of interest to
the BWBUG audience. GFS and CLVM will also be compared and contrasted to
other interesting storage technologies including Lustre, PVFS, and
Panassas.
