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.

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.

Converting from Microsoft to Python
Our traffic school site is currently in the process of rewriting our backend management system in Python and I have to say it sure has been a challenge for all of our developers.
Python and Glade - Another reference... and comment
Glade and GladeGen look like absolutely terrific tools for building a classic relational database business system.
I hope to study the article and the references and understand better the tools and their capabilities.
Another reference that sort of shows generating GUI interfaces is Chapter 9 of Mark Lutz's Programming Python published by O'Reilly. (I got the Lutz book at a bargain price, the second edition is being remaindered on some book vendor sites.)
I have been working in an automobile parts store... as the temp delivery person. The computer system is 10 or 15 years old: terminals talking to a 486 box that uses a 14.4 modem. It is a system without ethernet or TCP/IP.
I hope soon to work out a SOAP interface to allow automobile owners, repair shops, parts stores, parts wholesalers and aftermarket parts makers and publishers of auto repair documentation to communicate with each other through an intermediate aggregator.
It would be very nice to have have a way to generate families of application systems so that the same XML data structures for an automobile, automobile part, automobile repair job, shop manual chapter can drive the appearance of this data in the appropriate order and with the appropriate titles and hyperlinks in each of the application systems.
Basically, I am working on a SOAP based aggregator.

Reposting this so it's at the top level of comments. Until the 7421.tgz file is corrected on the Linux Journal web/ftp site, please get a corrected copy at:

Re: Resources for Rapid Application Development with Python and
The GladeGenConfig.py file included in 7421.tgz is actually another tar.gz file that contains all but the real GladeGenConfig.py and GladeWindow.pyc. Hopefully, this will be fixed.

Until it is fixed, you can grab a copy at:
http://capital2.capital.edu/faculty/dreed/7421.tgz
I will remove that copy once it is fixed.
