Display Banners
Traditional display banner advertising is a successful way to brand your company and product and provides vendors instant-gratification results.
We limit the number of banner ad locations on the Linux Journal web site to ensure optimal results for advertisers.
Banner ad sizes available include:
| Type of ad | Dimensions | Max file size | File formats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leaderboard | 728 x 90 pixels | 30k | PNG, JPG, GIF or Flash |
| Large Rectangle | 336 x 280 pixels | 30k | PNG, JPG, GIF or Flash |
| Banner Ad | Animation |
|---|---|
| Leaderboard | 3 loops max, 30 second max for initial movie, 12 - 15 fps max |
| Large Rectangle | 3 loops max, 30 second max for initial movie, 12 - 15 fps max |
| Special notes: | User interaction with an ad must always be user-initiated: audio and video can be activated only by a user click (not mouse-over), and once activated, an "off" option must be provided. |
| File format | Submission Deadline |
|---|---|
| PNG, JPG or GIF | 3 business days prior to campaign launch |
| Rich Media | 5 business days prior to campaign launch (in addition a PNG, JPG or GIF must be provided to be served as default for non-Flash users) |
| Special Notes: | If the submitted creative does not conform to specifications, it will not go on-line and may result in a delayed launch date. Send creative here. |
When submitting creatives, please note: Although advertisers are free to design their ads to achieve best site visibility, LinuxJournal.com reserves the right to refuse any advertising that is deemed unacceptable: two examples would be pop-ups or pop-unders. In addition, advertising served by third-party agencies using cookie technology is not encouraged at LinuxJournal.com for privacy policy reasons and because of accepted practices in the Linux community.

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?
