9:35 - 10:05 a.m.
Introduction to OpenSAF Project
Hans Feldt, Ericsson
In this session, the OpenSAF project structures will be discussed, including the work of the OpenSAF Technical Leadership Council, processes for developing releases and new OpenSAF developments. Tools, websites and other vital components will be reviewed as well as the current release status and features of the upcoming Release 4.3.
10:10 - 10:55 a.m.
OpenSAF Architecture
Jonas Arndt, HP
This presentation will explore the various services of OpenSAF and how they link to the SA Forum specifications. The session will also discuss the key points and advantages of OpenSAF, and how it compares with other HA Middleware solutions.
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Application Integration and Management
Mathivanan Naickan Palanivelu, Oracle
Understanding the specifications and architecture is a good start, but getting tried and tested approaches to integrating existing applications to the OpenSAF framework is even better. After your application is up and running, the monitoring and management of the service should become your top priority. In this session, you will also learn how the logging, alerts, and other management tools allow OpenSAF-based services to deliver on the promise of service level guarantees.
Lunch Break - 12:00 - 1:30 p.m.
1:30 - 2:30 p.m.
OpenSAF Demonstration in an Embedded Environment
Anders Widell, Ericsson
This demonstration will show how an AIS-aware service can be made highly available by the use of the OpenSAF framework and services. An embedded video streaming service can fail over in the millisecond range. This session also demonstrates a preview of tracing an AIS-integrated application using Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation (LTTng). .
2:35 - 3:20 pm
System Integration, Best Practices and Known Pitfalls
Hans Feldt, Ericsson
In this session, we'll discuss what you should think about when deploying OpenSAF, how to set up the redundant hardware and how to successfully manage the system over time.
3:25 p.m. - Open Ended
The Future of OpenSAF and You
OpenSAF Technical Leadership Council
The symposium will conclude with a discussion about long-term features and requests not currently in the OpenSAF release plan. This is an interactive session where participants can contribute with ideas and thoughts around the project and where OpenSAF should go in the future.
