Change wasn't only a political theme in 2008; change came to enterprise
datacenters, application implementations and high-performance computing
(HPC) with the deployment of low-latency switches and server adapters
running OpenFabrics software in Linux and Windows production environments.

 

Even bigger changes are in the wind as 2009 begins.  OpenFabrics software is
already in production at over 50 percent of the world's top 100 HPC sites,
including the #1 site.  And now, mainstream IT organizations are deploying
OpenFabrics software to boost application performance and take their
datacenter operations to the next level with 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40
Gigabit InfiniBand.

 

This year's Sonoma Workshop will focus on the implications of this sea
change for datacenter management, HPC productivity, business innovation, and
your career.  You should attend if you want to understand how OpenFabrics
software can help:

- Increase the performance of enterprise applications for financial
services, engineering, manufacturing, and content delivery in web and cloud
environments;

- Enable IT cost reduction through green computing and virtualization;

- Future-proof and stabilize your applications in the face of huge changes
taking place in memory, processors, storage, interconnects, and networking;

- Maximize the flexibility of your enterprise datacenter to more effectively
support and enable business innovation, productivity growth and cost
containment; and

- Transform HPC environments by eliminating barriers to the economical
deployment of petascale ecosystems.

 

The OpenFabrics Alliance is the worldwide focal point for high-performance,
connectivity-related software development.  This year's Sonoma workshop will
not only help attendees understand the impact that widespread adoption of
OpenFabrics software will have, it will also give attendees practical
knowledge about how to deploy and use the software in standard Linux and
Windows environments.

 

Attendees will have the opportunity to talk with vendors as well as
OpenFabrics software developers, and discuss real-world requirements for
applications that use technologies such as datacenter Ethernet, Fibre
Channel, MPI, NAS, SAN, and sockets as well as databases and cluster file
systems.  The Sonoma agenda will include presentations from end users,
application and hardware vendors, OS providers, developers, and much more.
This year's agenda is about helping you prepare yourself and your
organization for the exciting changes that are coming.

 

Register <http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaid=173845>  now for the 5th
Annual International Sonoma Workshop.  The Early Bird rate of $495 is
available through February 23.
