From muug-announce at muug.mb.ca Wed Jan 3 12:28:02 2007 From: muug-announce at muug.mb.ca (muug-announce@muug.mb.ca) Date: Wed Jan 3 12:28:22 2007 Subject: [Muug] MUUG Meeting, Jan 9, 7:30pm -- IBM Server Virtualization with VMware ESX Message-ID: <200701031828.l03IS2c13630@iron.cs.umanitoba.ca> The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: IBM Server Virtualization with VMware ESX Scott Jordan, IBM's Technical Support for the Prairies System x Sales Team, will talk about IBM blade server technology, and demo VMware ESX. Larger disk arrays, faster processors, and more dense memory packaging is making virtualization a very attractive solution for running multiple operating systems on one hardware platform. Add this to the centralized management, redundancy, and high availability features of VMware and you have a powerful business solution. Come and see Scott put his pet "rack" through its paces. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may not get in.

The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Syslog to a Database Kevin McGregor had a common problem: He could generate lots of interesting system logging data and direct it to a common logging system to be recorded, but he wanted to perform more sophisticated analysis than could be done with text files and grep. Also, managing log rotations and old data was a concern, as was automatic report generation for management. This month, Kevin will explain how he put together the combination of syslog-ng and PostgreSQL to solve this problem. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).
