*** Please notice that the start time of the 01/19/2006 meeting has
changed from 5:00pm to 6:15pm. ***
Hello,
This message is to remind you of the upcoming Front Range OpenSolaris
User Group (FROSUG) meeting and to notify you of a change in the start
time from what was originally advertised. We will now start at 6:15pm
rather than 5:00pm. Why? Due to conflicts with the presenters'
schedules we will not be having the Grids on Solaris Zones presentation
at this meeting. We hope to reschedule this for a future meeting.
Here are the updated details (the only thing that has changed is the
removal of the Grids on Solaris Zones presentation from the agenda):
When: Thursday, January 19, 2006
Where: Sun Broomfield campus, Conference Center #1 & #2 / Bldg #1
Address: 500 Eldorado Blvd.
Broomfield, CO 80021
Agenda:
6:15pm - 6:30pm: Let's eat! We'll be ordering pizza so come
hungry!
6:30pm - 8:30pm: ZFS
RSVP by sending your first and last name to
frosug-rsvp(AT)opensolaris(DOT)org by January 18th. This will help us
know how much food to get and allow us to make badges in advance.
Details about our presenter:
Our presenter is Mark Maybee, a Solaris engineer who has spent the last
five years working on ZFS. So, whether or not you have heard about ZFS,
this will be a great opportunity to learn what it is all about.
>From the ZFS community page, ZFS is a new kind of filesystem that
provides simple administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data
integrity, and immense scalability. ZFS is not an incremental
improvement to existing technology; it is a fundamentally new approach
to data management.
ZFS Features
* Pooled Storage Model
* Always consistent on disk
* Protection from data corruption
* Live data scrubbing
* Instantaneous snapshots and clones
* Fast native backup and restore
* Highly scalable
* Built in compression
* Simplified administration model

Thanks and hope to see you there!
