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?

Simplicity
Love the simplicity. Got it done in no time. Thanks a lot.
u could have written
u could have written auto-launching program on linux startup
why to write ubuntu...??????????????????
the real question is...
why to use so many question marks? LOL passionate... i'll give you that much.
My Guess..
In the video I don't mention Ubuntu -- my suspicion is the subject line was because so many new Ubuntu users search for tips like that. (Ubuntu is a very popular search term)
Again, just my suspicion. :)

archaic
You should really have a tutorial on how to install the Gnome Slab menu and show everyone how to rid themselves of that 1995 style gnome menu. Then when they see a program that they wanted to add to their startup they could just right click the icon and select "Add to start up" from the context menu...what a concept. Or when they didn't want a program to start on login anymore they could just right click the icon and select "Remove from startup" from the context menu...No typing paths or having to know the real name of an executable. Novell invested tens of thousands of dollars running usability studies for the Gnome project and gave all of their data back to the community years ago and because it came from Novell everyone summarily disregards it...Not invented here...Meanwhile the KDE project is plowing ahead and now even being emulated by Microsoft (seen the interface on Windows 7 beta?).
video quality?
Truly pictures are worth a thousand words, these videos are good. Any chance you can sharpen them a bit, because they're pretty fuzzy. I'm pretty sure it's not my eyes since the rest of the page is sharp :)
Not Ubuntu specific
Actually that video shows nothing ubuntu specific at all. It works exactly the same way on every damn distro.
Hey, it's even easier than
Hey, it's even easier than that isn't it? I've never had to type in, or browse to locate, the entire path to the program, I just type for example 'checkgmail' and it works.
