About the presentation:
*****************************************************************************
Amiram Hayardeny
OpenSolaris
*****************************************************************************
Solaris, traditionally, has been a high-end, enterprise-class operating
system, running mission-critical or CPU-intensive applications that have
very strict requirements: scalability, security, durability, stability,
and performance.
The user interface wasn't considered critical, nor was the need for
features such as WiFi connectivity, power management, and suspend and
resume.
Solaris has started on the way from being just a high-end enterprise,
number one on the planet operating system to being a more common,
desktop and laptop operating system.
The interesting part is that coming from the enterprise, it can and does
preserve all these features which one doesn't normally find in
mainstream operating systems.
Sun decided long ago that Solaris is simply too rich not to share with
the world.
OpenSolaris is it... a high-end, enterprise-class operating system,
which holds hundreds of performance records in every aspect of software
execution, plus quite a few awards and thousands of patents - all
brought to you with a special request:
use it, enjoy it, change it, share it.

Alex Peng
Xen
*****************************************************************************
Xen is an open-source hypervisor developed by the Xen team at the
University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. xVM adds OpenSolaris
support to the Xen project.
After SXCE build 75a, it supports OpenSolaris as dom0 or domU, supports
Xen domain management commands, and some 3rd party domU guests.
In this presentation, we will give a quick introduction on:
- What is Xen?
- What's the status of xVM (OpenSolaris-on-Xen)?
- Demo few examples of Xen commands
- Demo few combinations of OpenSolaris, Linux, etc. as dom0, domU

ZFS
*****************************************************************************
ZFS is an innovative file system that provides simple and powerful
administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data integrity, and
immense scalability. In short, it provides a new approach to data
management.
In this presentation, we'll discuss such features as:
- How ZFS keeps data consistent on disks and protects them against
corruption
- Instantaneous snapshots and clones which make native backup and
restore faster
- Flexible properties set on storage pool and filesystems
- High scalability
- ZFS as root filesystem
- ZFS in zones
- Delegation privileges
- Coming features, such as: ZFS as default filesystem, ZFS crypto, etc
We hope to see you there!
Thanks,
BJOSUG
