Following the success of the 2011 OpenSAF Conference and the positive feedback from the community, OpenSAF hosted a one-day symposium on September 13, 2011 in Stockholm, Sweden. The symposium featured a variety of sessions led by well-known technologists, architects and academics in the HA ecosystem. The symposium was attended by users, developers, engineering managers and academics from various industries including Telecom and Aerospace and Defense. Please view the presentations from the Symposium below. Tuesday, September 13
What is OpenSAF and What are the Benefits of Using It?
By Monica Hatlen, OpenSAF President
2010 was a busy year for OpenSAF and the momentum has continued in 2011. A growing group of both large and small network and telecommunications equipment companies are adopting OpenSAF because of many economic and technical benefits it delivers for their organizations. OpenSAF President Monica Hatlen will set the stage for the 2011 symposium with a presentation on the current status of OpenSAF and the organization's plans for the future.

Introduction to OpenSAF
By David Fick, Go Ahead Software
Systems that meet stringent service availability (SA) and high availability (HA) requirements have been around for decades, but diverse segments use varied terminology to describe the same concepts. This session will provide a high-level technical overview of the Service Availability Forum standards and the support of those standards within OpenSAF, allowing those familiar with HA concepts to map their terminology to SA Forum and OpenSAF terminology.The session will also help those relatively new to OpenSAF or the HA domain to familiarize themselves with the terms and concepts. This session will lay the technical foundation for the remainder of the symposium so that attendees get the most out of the more detailed presentations that follow.OpenSAF involves a number of complex ideas and is designed to work in many different environments. In order to make it easy for new users to get started, we will also detail options that new users have to educate themselves about OpenSAF and relevant environments for using the code base and interacting with the community.

OpenSAF Architecture & OpenSAF Roadmap Update
By Jonas Arndt, HP
OpenSAF is a mature platform that has undergone a series of architectural improvements and changes, making it the leading solution in the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) HA middleware industry. In particular, Release 4.0, released in mid 2010, is the biggest step to date in the direction of implementing a full suite of SA Forum services. This session will provide an overview of the OpenSAF architecture and specifically shed light on a series of improvements for Release 4.1 and the upcoming Release 4.2 that make OpenSAF the most scalable, robust and comprehensive implementation of the SA Forum standards. Lastly, this session will survey the OpenSAF roadmap and discuss the key priorities for OpenSAF over the next year.

OpenSAF and Alternative Solutions: How Does OpenSAF Complement other Technologies such as Virtualization?
By Murthy Esakonu, GoAhead Software
There
are a number of emerging hardware and software technologies that impact
the usage and designs of highly available systems. OpenSAF-based
service availability middleware is very complementary to virtualization,
multi-core and many other advanced hardware and software technologies.
This session will explain the broader technology landscape and will
educate on how high availability (HA) fits in.

Case Study: Benefits of Migrating Legacy Applications to OpenSAF
By Ana Sanz Merino, Ericsson
Incorporating OpenSAF into a new application or system development
project is reasonably straightforward. However, building in service
availability for legacy applications is a more subtle challenge. In this
session, a representative from Ericsson will explain some of the issues
that must be considered when migrating legacy applications to OpenSAF.
Attendees will also learn about the key benefits, including the
increased application flexibility in targeting different market segments
and reduced time-to-market.
Technical details will also be
provided regarding the integration of some of the key OpenSAF services,
including the Information Model Management, Availability Management
Framework and Checkpoint service. These services are analyzed from the
point of view of the application, comparing their characteristics with
the application requirements and summarizing the findings and
conclusions regarding the suitability of these OpenSAF services for a
typical carrier grade telecom application.

Python Bindings for the SAF-AIS APIs
By Hans Feldt, Ericsson
Python bindings for SAF-AIS APIs offer many advantages to middleware
developers, application developers, tool developers and testers. The
bindings help to speed up the software development lifecycle and enable
rapid deployment of architecture-independent components and services.
This session will describe main principles guiding Python bindings
implementation, and will have extensive in-depth application Python code
examples using SAF-AIS services.

In Service Upgrade with OpenSAF
By Maria Toeroe and Mario Angelic, Ericsson
Managing software upgrades for complex telecom and network equipment is
always a significant issue, and executing upgrades while simultaneously
maintaining uptime standards is also difficult. OpenSAF introduced the
Software Management Framework (SMF) in Release 4.0 last year to deal
with this challenge. This session will explain the core capabilities of
SMF and how it can ease the headaches associated with major software
upgrades.
