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.

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.

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?

This is a great news, thanks
This is a great news, thanks a lot for sharing this with us. It was really useful for me to find about all this information.
Asigurari Ieftine
awesome
this give-away idea is pretty cool. too bad i hadn't heard about this until the cider kit give away day. this would be a handy prize to win, but cannot compete with my 5 gallons of homebrew cider currently fermenting in a 5 gallon carboy in my kitchen... but i must say its good to see someone pushing the fine hobby of homebrewing on others the same way i do with linux.
the 2 best things in life are homebrewed beer/cider and linux/bsd.
awesome selection of prizes, excepting the windows only voip thing.
cheers!
any way to get the check box for the LJ supplement to work?
Unchecking it does nothing. It still forces you to download the PDF.
Check box does work...
The check box is for the newsletter. It does indeed work -- I just tested it all around here and all is well.
As for the supplement (it's actually a free issue of LJ and not a supplement, just FYI), simply follow the link that reads "Prefer to enter the daily giveaway drawing without downloading Linux Journal? Click here." and you will not be given the free issue of Linux Journal.
Hope that helps!

WTF MagicJack
First giveaway is MagicJack, a product that doesn't run on Linux systems!
Fair enough, but...
the one here is running under vmware (http://www.magicjacksupport.com/using-magicjack-on-linux-f15.html) so I hadn't thought much more about it... other than it's kinda cool. But touche. Lots of Linux and just general geek products coming up though, I promise.
