The latest offering from HPC Systems is the HiPerDisk Storage System, the company's highest density SAS/SATA JBOD storage solution for enterprise applications. The HiPerDisk features 42 hot-swap drives in a 4U rackmount enclosure with up to 84TB of storage that will support high-capacity SAS or SATA drives individually or simultaneously, a feature that enables enterprise customers to standardize on one system for all three application data types: transactional, high-bandwidth and reference data. Designed for no active single point of failure, the HiPerDisk features single- or dual-controller modules, each consisting of three mini-SAS (4x) ports. A hot-swap redundant power supply and fans are provided for optimal enterprise reliability.
Giving some overdue love to the database sector, AquaFold recently announced version 8.0 of Aqua Data Studio, a universal database administration software that simplifies the visualization and manipulation of multiple relational databases from within a single interface. The new v8.0 of Aqua Data Studio extends native support for the leading data warehousing and high-performance relational databases, including Teradata, DB2 for z/OS, Sybase IQ 15 and nCluster from Aster Data Systems. Thus, users will benefit from the features and functionality they are accustomed to when working with Aqua Data Studio's existing support tools for Oracle, DB2 for LUW, DB2 for iSeries, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Sybase, Informix, Apache Derby and PostgreSQL. Another key feature is the extension of the Entity-Relationship Modeler, now with the ability to convert or translate an ER model from one database to another. Finally, users will enjoy the ability to export to ERX format, import object schemas into existing databases and compare schema objects of different models within the same or different databases.
Publisher Wrox says that Ian Lawrence and Rodrigo Lopes' new book Professional Ubuntu Mobile Development is the world's first on the topic. The platform is quickly being adopted to provide a wide range of services on mobile devices, from Web to e-mail to messaging to GPS and more. This book is intended to show how to implement solutions for original equipment manufacturers and independent software vendors wishing to go to market using Ubuntu Mobile. The material also covers setting up Linux for mobile application development, the difference between developing on a mobile Internet device and a regular desktop environment, step-by-step tutorials and more good stuff.

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.
