Simplified Remote Management of Linux Servers

Invited Talk
Friday, November 14, 2014 - 9:45am-10:30am

Russell Doty, Red Hat

Abstract: 

How do you manage a hundred or a thousand Linux servers? With practice! Managing Linux systems is typically done by an experienced system administrator using a patchwork of standalone tools and custom scripts running on each system. There is a better way to work โ€“ to manage more systems in less time with less work โ€“ and without learning an entirely new way of working.

OpenLMI (the Linux Management Infrastructure program) delivers remote management of production servers โ€“ ranging from high end enterprise servers with complex network and storage configurations to virtual guests. Designed to support bare metal servers and to directly manipulate storage, network and system hardware, it is equally capable of managing and monitoring virtual machine guests.

In this session we will show how a system administrator can use the new tools to function more effectively, focusing on how they extend and improve existing management workflows and expertise.

Russell Doty is a Technology Strategist and Product Manager at Red Hat. He is currently focused on challenges around systems manageability and security, addressing both technical and usability issues.

He has been heavily involved in the technology of computing, with a background in high performance computing, visualization, and computer hardware. Over the last several years he has worked closely with leading hardware developers and the Open Source community. Helping companies with a strong closed source background learn how to embrace and effectively engage with Open Source is an interesting challenge!
