Registration open for OCP Technology Day - 30th August

Registration open for OCP Technology Day - 30th August

 

The Open Compute Project(OCP) foundation will host a series of engineering workshops in 2016 to build and grow the OCP Community. First day of this event will take place from 10:00 am to 06:00 pm on 30th August, 2016 at Facebook in Menlo Park, Califonia. The Open Compute Project(OCP) Foundation is an organization which was founded in 2011 by Facebook, Intel, Rackspace, Goldman Sachs and Andy Bechtolsheim. You can know more about OCP community athttp://opencompute.org/participate

The main motive of this workshop are:

1. Drive the product-ionization of OCP's specifications
2. Implementation of OCP's legal framework (CLA and OCPHLs)
3. Building out/addressing technologies for new sector
4. Take into account/understand the suppliers needs and OCP partner's needs
5. Solidify specification versioning pipeline, release process, naming conventions
6. Increase community participation and stickiness
7. Increase the OCP technology portfolio; depth and breadth of specifications and charters

This event is designed to encourage, empower and inspire the OCP Community to communicate, collaborate and contribute. These workshops are totally free to the public but registration is required. Seats are limited but they maintain waitlist for this event also.

Individuals who wish to participate and to be a member of OCP Organization, create a new profile with valid email-id and by providing the personal information. A great talk will be delivered by the speakers from Facebook, Canonical and Red Hat focusing on deploying and running scale out software such as Openstack, GlusterFS, Metal-as-a-service and others. Participant can easily come to know about how their organization can optimize their infrastructure and minimizing the cost by taking the advantage of open software running on open hardware. Special speakers from Google and Microsoft will also deliver a speech about unique challenges surrounding running servers and storage at massive scale.

Once a user register, their ticket cannot be transferrable to other. If other want to attend, he can contact at registration@opencompute.org

Agenda:

TIME	TOPIC	INFORMATION
09:00 am to 10:00 am	Registration
10:00 am to 10:30 am	Welcome Note	Amber Graner, Operations Director and Community Manager, OCP Foundation
10:30 am to 11:30 am	Facebook Presentation	Title: Gluster; Scale out storage Presenter: Richard Wareing Abstract: This talk provides an in-depth overview of deploying and managing open source Gluster POSIX file system on OCP hardware at scale. Facebook operates one of the largest Gluster environments in the world, and the talk will focus on challenges, approaches and lessons learned from using it under production workloads.
11:30 am to 12:30 am	Red Hat Presentation	Abstract: A talk about the Open Source Software and Hardware for enterprise compute - OpenStack, ManageIQ.org,Ceph.org, Gluster.org and Ansible.
12:30pm - 2:00pm	LUNCH
2:00pm - 3:00pm	Canonical Presentation	Title: Embracing Big Software and Apps on OCP Hardware to Reduce Costs and Accelerate Innovation Presenters: David Duffey, Director of Technical Partnership, and Luke Williams, Open Networking Technical Partner Manager Abstract: Canonical will be presenting how to automate the deployment and management of datacenter servers, storage, and networking using Open Source that enables choice.This includes being able to select your preferred cloud platform like OpenStack, big data solution, SDN, VNF, network control software (FBOSS, Quagga, etc.), and even the operating system on OCP servers and app-enabled OCP networking gear.
3:00pm - 4:00pm	Microsoft Presentation	Title: Open CloudServer vNext - Architecture of the next platform system including compute and storage Presenter: TBD Abstract: TBD
4:00pm - 5:00pm	Google Presentation	Title: Disks for Data Center Presenter: Lawrence Ying Abstract: Disks form the central element of Cloud-based storage, whose demand far outpaces the considerable rate of innovation in disks.Exponential growth in demand, already in progress for 15+ years, implies that most future disks will be in data centers and thus part of a large collection of disks. We describe the "collection view" of disks and how it and the focus on tail latency, driven by live services, place new and different requirements on disks. Beyond defining key metrics for data-center disks, we explore a range of new physical design options and changes to firmware that could improve these metrics.
5:00pm - 6:00pm	Cocktail Social	Facebook
