Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers
Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy
Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to “bare metal.” After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

RPC
What is difference between RPC in Windows and that of LINUX?
the steps and content are
the steps and content are good..but if clear picture about the running RPC if given would have been very useful...any how thank u all the information about RPC...
About Version
I'm little bit confused with the version. If we make any changes to our program, then how we update the version. Can anyone give an example for this?
You can take the following example:
version 1: adds two floating point numbers and returns floating point result
version 2(updated): returns the rounded value
regarding the rpc
Thanks a lot for the article that you have presented. It was a lot of information. I would like to know is there any standard rpc mechanism to know about the services running over a particular machine. I need such a program to know about the processes running on a particular machine. It would be great to have your feedbacks regarding the same.
Works between ARM linux and x86 linux
Hi,
Thanks for posting the code. I tested it with server on arm-linux (Stargate xbow) and client on x86 linux. Cross compiling the code for arm-linux( just the server side files) and running /sbin/portmap on stargate will allow the rpc to register.
The program works well for C and C++ as well.

How to get ravg.c file...the makefile has no rule to get it...please excuse me if its a silly question..thanx
ravg.c is the code from
ravg.c is the code from listing 4
avg_proc.c is the code from listing 3
The code works
It is really very useful. I am a new comer in Unix [Linux], and could develop a server/client application on RPC using this code. Thank you, Ed.
I've been reading up on RPC
I've been reading up on RPC to implement it for our project, but this is the first tutorial I've found that presents it in a clear and readable manner and where the example code actually WORKS.
Thanks for a well written article, I wish there were more like it.
good introduction, with working program..
1) link of tutorial on makefile will add its value..
i find this a good one
http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/Make/index.html
2)while excuting makefile "/n" creates problem.. i have deleted it from makefile and necessary file got generated..
3) try running server by ./avg_ser
and by client by ./ravg in seperate terminal..
4) i feel strongly that comment should be provided in avg_proc.c,ravg.c..
at last i am much thankful for this exceptionaly simple running tutorial..
Re: Remote Procedure Calls
Thanks a lot. I'm a chilean engineering student and your article has been very useful for me since it explain very clearly what RPCs are and what are they used for.
