How to Build A Cloud for Family and Friends Using Oracle Solaris 11 [30909]
by Suk Kim, Oracle ACE Director
Oracle Solaris 11 is a cloud operating system that is very powerful. Using Oracle Solaris 11, you will be able to provide various services. For example, it is possible to create storage that can be utilized by AjaXplorer, which provides Web-based access to files.
If you'd like to download software, participate in forums, and get access to other technical how-to goodies in addition to content like this, become an OTN member. No spam!
This article describes a PHP-based open source solution that uses AjaXplorer, Oracle Solaris 11.1, and Apache Web server (although other Web servers can be used) to build a cloud-based storage service that is similar to Dropbox.
Of course, you can also build the storage in the same way using AjaXplorer with other operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, when using Oracle Solaris 11.1, you will be able to configure the storage in a more powerful and secure way by taking advantage of ZFS.
After you implement the solution described in this article, you will be able to use any Web browser to access the Web-based storage. In addition, you can use apps on Android and Apple iOS smartphones and tablets to access the storage...

Building Consolidation Efficiency into Operations Support Systems [30914]
How to use SPARC SuperCluster and operations support system (OSS) applications to build an OSS platform
Communication service providers (CSPs) face increasing pressure to contain costs while meeting the growing demand for services. Critical to their success is an operations support system (OSS) platform that can handle large order volumes in a predictable way. Using Oracle SPARC SuperCluster and OSS applications that are part of the Oracle Communications product line, CSPs can deploy their service fulfillment solution on a highly available, integrated, and secure platform.
Want to comment on this article? Post the link on Facebook's OTN Garage page. Have a similar article to share? Bring it up on Facebook or Twitter and let's discuss.
To validate the performance and scalability of this solution, Oracle engineering conducted an OSS service fulfillment order throughput benchmark supporting 20 million subscribers. This article reviews the results and key findings...

Performance Tuning an Exalogic System [29970]
Surveying What's Built in and What Users can Do for Themselves
Rick Ramsey addresses both the built-in Exalogic optimizations and the DIY types. The built-ins come in two forms: generic optimizations, designed to integrate Infiniband networking seamlessly into all the hardware, software, and firmware distributed throughout the system, and optimizations to run-time components that have been engineered directly into Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS), Coherence, and Tuxedo.
The DIY optimizations, as outlined by Ramsey and drawn by him from the Exalogic: Administration Tasks and Tools white paper, include tunings to middleware, platform, infrastructure, middleware runtime environment, and tuning the applications themselves. Ramsey comments briefly on each of these, noting instances when "enough is enough."
