RootConf / brewing, architecture Stream

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

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

For example, Sergey Budnevich, the head of the Telematic services department of Comstar-UTS, will read the report “Architecture and features of operation of a cluster of dns-revolvers in a large ISP” . Sergey will tell everyone who wants to learn about how Stream works about load-balancers and means of dealing with entropy: centralized authorization, configuration storage and distribution systems, monitoring — in general, everything you need when there are many services and platforms. but few people.

Anton Noginov, Begun company, will make a presentation “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 exactly AoE. And about building your own data storage system and evaluating its performance.

However, we do not concentrate solely on technical issues, but try to tell about everything that may be of interest to system administrators. "Own business. How to create a service IT company "-
the so-called master class of Yevgeny 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 it yet, but they want to. I will talk about the main tasks that you need to solve to create and
development of effective IT business. On a multi-level system of selling IT services, attracting customers and sales to existing customers. On the scheme of the organization of the work of technical support and the management of the flow of applications. 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 conduct brewing;) A company that will assist in organizing it will rightfully receive the title of “the most beloved company of system administrators”;)
