This month's FROSUG (Front Range OpenSolaris User Group) meeting is on Thursday, July 26, 2007. Nick Solter will give a presentation on Open High Availability Cluster, which was recently released on opensolaris.org. In addition, we will be giving an OpenSolaris Update.
!! FREE OpenSolaris Starter Kits and Solaris Express Developer Edition DVDs. !! About the presentation: Solaris Cluster, Sun's high-availability cluster software, is going open-source! This presentation will first give an overview of High Availability software and Solaris Cluster, and demonstrate how Open HA Cluster can be used with OpenSolaris and the Apache webserver to provide higher availability for web services. The talk will next describe the Solaris Cluster open-source roadmap, give an overview of the source code, and walk through the steps to download, compile, install, and play with Open HA Cluster. The talk will conclude with a description of the contribution process and some sample projects for community participation. The High-Availability Cluster community webpage is at: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ The presentation will be posted on http://frosug.org prior to the meeting.
