How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

White Paper
Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise
If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the “typical” Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

fds with ldap
hi..
i m done with installing FDS successfully.
can please help how can i authenticate the windows users using FDS.
Password policy problem between FDS and ADS
Hi,
I have configured FDS and Syncronized with ADS.Every thing working fine.The password also syncronized between FDS server and ADS.When I change the password in windows client it is replicated to the FDS through ADS.But when I change the password in Linux client machine it does not replicated to the ADS. I need some clarification between FDS and ADS password policy.I hope some one will guide me.Thanks in advance.

LDAP isn't best suited for authentication
Just to note, the directory usage that you describe (using LDAP for authentication) is a painfully wide-spread misconception.
Properly, you should use LDAP for publishing authorization data (e.g. group memberships), while authentication should be best implemented with use of Kerberos protocol.
By using LDAP for authentication, you throw away the possibility to provide single sign-on for your users.
You can use the Heimdal Kerberos server to store the data used by it in an LDAP directory - provided that it supports LDAPI connections and, as a result, it resides on the same machine that the LDAP server.
The version of Fedora Directory Server from CVS supports LDAPI.
BTW, IMHO the Kerberos and LDAP protocols should be merged in the future since they are so easily misused because of the distinction between them.
merge LDAP and Kerberos. LDAP
merge LDAP and Kerberos. LDAP is a fully fledged directory access protocol not just an authentication widget. This is like saying SQL should be merged with Kerberos.
BTW, LDAPI support is now
BTW, LDAPI support is now available with the latest stable version 1.1 of Fedora Directory Server.
Updating Alternatives (for Java and such)
Just a note, Red Hat provides a command,
update-alternatives, for updating and maintaining links in /etc/alternatives.
