RootConf / brewhouse, Stream architecture

We are starting a series of publications about the professional conference of system administrators RootConf - 2009 . As usual, I invite Khabrovsk citizens to discuss, speak and participate in the conference. If the cost of physical presence is high for you, then you should know that all materials (abstracts, videos) of RootConf will be posted for free access, as well as HighLoad ++ materials .

RootConf preparation is in full swing - operating system commiters, network hardware device developers, hosting companies and providers are joining us. A series of reports is planned from the Runet leaders on the arrangement of their technical parks.

For example, Sergey Budnevich, head of the telematic services department of Comstar-UTS, will read a report“Architecture and features of the operation of a cluster of dns resolvers in a large ISP . ” Anyone who wants to learn how the Stream works, Sergei will talk about load-balancers and means of combating entropy: centralized authorization, storage and distribution systems, monitoring, all that is needed when there are a lot of services and platforms, but few people.

Anton Noginov, a Begun company, will make a presentation on "A data storage system from what was at hand . " In it, he will talk about the specifics of storing large amounts of data, about existing solutions (hardware / software, NAS / SAN, scale, cost). About the AoE protocol, why AoE. And about building your own storage system and evaluating its performance.

However, we do not concentrate solely on technical issues, but try to talk about everything that may be interesting to system administrators. "Personal business. How to create a service IT company ”-
this is the name of the workshop of Evgeny Kalinin. Here is what he himself says about his master class: “There are admins who have created their own business, their own outsourcing company. There are even more admins who have not done this yet, but want to. I will talk about the main tasks that you need to solve in order to create and
develop an effective IT business. About a multi-level system for selling IT services, attracting customers and sales to existing customers. About the technical support work organization scheme and application flow management. About hiring employees, their professional growth and development. ”

There are also innovations in the organization of the conference - instead of the last coffee break, we will have a beer break;) The company that will assist in its organization will rightfully receive the title of “the most favorite company of system administrators”;)
