  1. 39. EasyBuild: building software with ease.
    Jens Timmerman (U)
    23/04/2012, 14:00
    IT Infrastructure and Services
    EasyBuild is an open source build framework written in Python that enables you to install software in a repeatable and consistent way. EasyBuild was motivated by the need for a system that would allow us to build and install multiple versions of a software package, built with different tool-kits in an automated manner. This whilst a huge number of software packages require us to divert...

  2. 9. DB On Demand at CERN
    Daniel Gomez Blanco (CERN)
    23/04/2012, 14:30
    IT Infrastructure and Services
    This presentation gives an introduction to the Database On Demand service at CERN. The need to offer support based on different database systems is on the rise within our user community. For example, one use case includes certain applications certified for running with non-Oracle databases (e.g. MySQL). Additional use cases are based on the desire expressed by user groups in being able to...

  5. 27. Experience with new Service Management at CERN
    Dr Patricia Mendez Lorenzo (CERN)
    23/04/2012, 16:00
    IT Infrastructure and Services
    The CERN Service Management project was born to fulfil the need of a global, homogeneous, and efficient service organization for all services provided to the users. On February 2011 the project entered in operation including in a first step services of the IT and GS departments. The CERN Service Management infrastructure is based on ITIL best practises and it includes a single Service Desk, a...

  6. 47. New burn-in test
    Eric Bonfillou (CERN)
    23/04/2012, 16:20
    IT Infrastructure and Services
    This talk will provide an overview of the CERN's new burn-in test system. It will mainly focus on the reasons why a new system is needed (operational factors, remote hosting adaptation) and how it is being implemented and evaluated. The first results will be presented as the acceptance of about 1500 servers relied on it.

  8. 24. Agile Infrastructure at CERN: Introduction
    Dr Helge Meinhard (CERN)
    24/04/2012, 11:00
    IT Infrastructure and Services
    Over the past decade, CERN-IT has successfully managed thousands of machines for specific services in the CERN computer centre, using dedicated home-grown tools for configuration, installation and monitoring. However, a more dynamic and flexible approach is needed in order to provide new services, reduce inefficiencies, address business continuity, and cope with a remote extension to the...

  9. 25. Agile Infrastructure: Configuration and Operation Tools
    Dr Helge Meinhard (CERN)
    24/04/2012, 11:15
    IT Infrastructure and Services
    Configuration Management is not new to CERN. For more than a decade, CERN has build its own Quattor based Configuration Management infrastructure which is currently used to manage the configuration of several thousands machines. Experience shows that our infrastructure has several limitations. Moreover, it will not scale to manage configuration of systems on a heavily virtualised computer...

  10. 22. Agile Infrastructure Monitoring
    Mr Pedro Manuel Rodrigues De Sousa Andrade (CERN)
    24/04/2012, 11:40
    IT Infrastructure and Services
    The Agile Infrastructure (AI) project will establish a flexible and dynamic management of CERN computer centre resources. From the infrastructure monitoring perspective the AI project is working towards a common monitoring architecture to allow accessing and correlating information about all computer centre resources. This new monitoring solution will simplify the sharing of monitoring data...

  11. 29. Agile Infrastructure: IaaS
    Jose Castro Leon (Universidad de Oviedo (ES))
    24/04/2012, 12:05
    IT Infrastructure and Services
    The Agile Infrastructure project leverages emerging OpenStack Cloud Computing framework and Puppet configuration tools to provide Infrastructure as a Service in a sustainable and scalable way, but also ensuring sufficient resource flexibility and availability. In this solution, different services will be connected and scheduled over the IaaS layer using the same entry point. Moreover, a common...
