The Open Source community is now taking HA on Linux to the next step by building clusters of clusters that can recover from disasters that take out a whole site; allowing a reliability infrastructure that spans multiple cities or even continents. Linux provides even built-in support for asynchronous storage replication, and will further aid administrators by easing configuration replication and adjustment across multiple sites. This presentation will introduce the new software components, discuss deployment patterns, and present the current state, opportunities for extensions, and the future roadmap.
The target audience includes system architects, CTOs, and interested partners that which to contribute to the projects and collaborate in this area.
