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
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.
Learn more about catching the bad guy in this free white paper.

Free Webinar: Hadoop
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?

you all are waftm
you all are waftm
unfair
I sent the correct answer way before the closing of contest but I didn't receive any feedback from LJ. Just because I am from Romania I am not permitted to benefit of free subscription?
No reply to correct answer
Same problem here, i have send in the right answer on time but still no response from LJ. Even not on a email i have send them. I also don't live in the US but in the Netherlands.
Contest
I spent over 2 hours unscrambling the letters . Easy !!
No letters on Friday?
So there are no letters on Friday? Did I miss something?
No letters today
No letters in today's video. Friday's video only tells you how to and where to submit your unscrambled letters from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday videos.
Best of luck!

too difficult!
I already subscribe to the magazine which only makes me send money once a year. I'm too old and my time is too precious to play games all week. I like Linux Journal a lot (that's why I subscribe to the mag.) but I don't watch the videos very much -- I would rather have the information in writing. Thanks anyway.
GMT
For those of you who prefer to follow GMT vs. the U.S.'s often confusing "daylight vs. standard" time, the contest ends at 03:59:59 GMT March 14, 2009.
