Labman Trash To Treasure Presenter: Shayne Cardwell
What We Do • Promote the mutual understanding and bonds among students, faculty and staff. • Coordinate learning and awareness events regarding computers and technology. • Provide educational and technical assistance to members in need. • Promote the awareness of alternative operating systems. • Work with the community to expand our understanding of technology.
What Can Be Done • Cluster Technology • Rendering Farm • Simultaneous Task Completion • Security Auditing For Research • Storage Farm • Open Source Routing • Smoothwall • Vyatta
ClusterKnoppix Clustering with Linux
ClusterKnoppix • ClusterKnoppix is a derivative of Knoppix, based on Debian • ClusterKnoppix aims to provide the same core features and software as Knoppix, but adds the openMosix clustering capabilities also • Designed to be a complete Linux distribution, running the largest possible array of desktop user applications. • Knoppix provides this facility without actually “installing” the operating system onto local storage media
CHAOS • CHAOS is not intended to be fully-laden with application software; • CHAOS is designed to be a compact Linux and openMosix distribution that is secure and highly distributable. • CHAOS does not interfere with the host operating system, running entirely from RAM it also frees the CDROM boot media • Well suited as a minimized “drone node” distribution. • Biggest advantage of using CHAOS is its focus on security and deployment methodology
CHAOS • CHAOS is the first Linux and openMosix distribution to add native network security to the cluster deployment • Every node in the cluster does its own packet filtering, and establishes IPSEC tunnels as required • This is performed transparently, requiring no user intervention. • CHAOS is capable of PXE booting new nodes
Gluster Storage Platform Storage Systems
Gluster Storage Platform • A complete storage operating system/platform built on GlusterFS cluster file system that can be easily installed on industry standard commodity hardware • Efficient installer that enables quick install and boot of first server, with disk formatting done post install, and supports remote install of subsequent servers • Integrated easy to use and feature rich web-based management UI that makes installation and configuration of large clustered storage systems quick and simple. Key management interface features are: • Volume manager • Resource manager • Server/disk manager • Log viewer • Built in, pre-configured support for 10GigE and Infiniband (Open Fabrics) making it easy to utilize these hi-speed server interconnects
Advantages Of Gluster Storage Platform • Open Source Petabyte-Scale Clustered Storage • Scalability • Performance • High Availability • Easy Deployment & Management • Optimized for Virtual Servers • Kernel Independent • Quick, Flexible Setup • Flexible Modular Design
Minimum Requirements for Gluster Storage Platform • 1GB USB Disk as Install Media • 1 or more storage servers (or virtual machines) with minimum configuration as follows: • Disk 8GB • Memory 1GB • Intel/AMD 64bit hardware • 1GigE or 10GigE or Infiniband
Smoothwall Express Open-Source Firewall Project
Capabilities • Supports LAN, DMZ, and Wireless networks, plus External. • External connectivity via: Static Ethernet, DHCP Ethernet, PPPoE • Port forwards, DMZ pin-holes • Outbound filtering • Timed access • Simple to use Quality-of-Service (QoS) • Traffic statistics • Per interface • Per IP • totals for weeks and months • IDS via automatically updated Snort rules • UPnP support • Blacklist
Vyatta Open-Source Routing
Vyatta • Who or What is Vyatta? • Why consider Vyatta?
An Epic Battle Cisco vs.
Virtualization • optimized to run in virtual environments to manage traffic and enforce policies • Examples • Consolidation - Inter-VM Security • Hypervisor / Platform Protection • Consolidation - SMB/Branch Resource Maximization • Consolidation - Datacenter Resource Maximization • Live Migration - Redundancy, Failover & Testing • Application Density - Horizontal Virtualization • Cloud Security - Datacenter to Cloud VPN • Cloud Security - Cloud to Cloud VPN & Routing
