This lab session will provide you with a hands-on introduction to the Enterprise Portal Platform based on the new GateIn project. In this lab you are going to install your own portal and discover the new administration of the portal to compose your pages with gadgets and jsf portlets. You are also going to play with a simple portlet development example along with one based on the portlet bridge.
We kindly ask you to bring your own laptop with you. All labs will run in a virtualized (VDI) environment and will be accessible from your browser. Let us know, if you won't have a laptop there.In this lab we will show you all the steps necessary to create a portal, develop, deploy and configure portlets and use the JBoss Development Studio tooling to create portal resources.

Join Waratek CTO, John Matthew Holt, as he compares today’s cluster computing environment to Waratek’s Virtual System solution: RAIS (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Servers). Waratek RAIS enables JBoss Enterprise Middleware clusters to operate as a single, fault-tolerant virtual machine.  By aggregating the memory and processing power of individual commodity servers, RAIS virtual machines have operating characteristics comparable to those of far larger systems.

The audience will gain an overview of the major benefits that RAIS offers, including reduced costs, rapid deployment, scalability and fault-resilience.

A Business Process Management System (BPMS) offers you the capabilities to better manage and streamline your business processes. JBoss jBPM continues its vision in this area by offering a lightweight process engine for executing business processes, combined with the necessary services and tooling to support business processes in their entire lifecycles. This allows not only developers but also business users to manage your business processes more efficiently.

A lot has happened in the BPM area over the last few years, with the introduction of the BPMN 2.0 standard, the increasing interest in more dynamic and adaptive processes, integration with business rules and event processing, case management, etc. In this session,  we will show you how jBPM5 tackles these challenges, disucss migration to this new plaform and give you an overview of its most important features.

A famous expression describes an airplane as a million parts, flying in close formation. Linux is like that airplane – it consists of million lines of code, in thousands of modules, from tens of thousands of developers. Its value is not in the pieces – it's in reliably and efficiently solving customer problems. Red Hat builds on this as a domain-spanning engineering partner with collaborative relationships that it uses to provide Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the premier platform for enterprise workloads.

In this session, you will learn about:

• How Red Hat sees the market opportunity for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Understand the value of subsription, how it is created and delivered
• Create customer loyalty
• The high-level overview of how Red Hat builds the leading enterprise linux distribution
• The lifecycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and the subscription model
• Your opportunity to build business by partnering with Red Hat

In 2007, Munich Re, one of the world's leading reinsurers, launched a project to reduce operating costs and streamline the performance of its own server landscape with more than 80 SAP systems. Another objective was to add more flexibility to the allocation of computing power. At the same time, Munich Re placed heavy demands on the technical stability of its infrastructure. To achieve these objectives, Munich Re decided to migrate its entire SAP landscape from HP-UX to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

In this session you will learn the facts about one of the largest SAP migration projects and the benefits that it brought to the customer Munich Re.

Are your customers looking for greater technology coupled with a declining budget means so that their systems and administrators have to do more with less? No matter if you are a hard reseller, system integrator or solution provider this session will show you how Linux solutions from Red Hat and IBM hardware have a better total cost of ownership (TCO) than comparable
Sun solutions. Want proof? Learn how to calculate how much your clients can save.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been successfully replacing traditional Solaris and HP-UX workloads across the enterprise--reducing operating costs using IBM Power or the IBM Enterprise Linux Server (ELS), leading to an increased flexibility for customers large and small across the world. Customer Examples across Europe from various industries including financial services, insurance, utilities and the retail sector will be presented.

Unix to Linux migrations hold huge opportunity for our partners, selling Red Hat Enterprise Linux and providing services which help Customers realize significant gains in terms of cost and performance.

In this session, we will share with you the successful selling strategies and best practices around assisting Customers with Unix to Red Hat Enterprise Linux migrations.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a complete portfolio of security technologies with solutions for all facets of your system, data, and communications security challenges.

SELinux continues to introduce and improve innovative security capabilities.

• Greater coverage of system services by SELinux policies makes RHEL 6 more secure and resistant to security exploits, protecting system operation and data.
• SELinux sandboxing allows users to run untrusted applications safely and securely.

The new System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) provides centralized access to identity and authentication resources, and enables caching and offline support. SSSD presents a generalized interface to clients that need identity and authentication, and should be the service of choice for access to identity/authentication services across the enterprise.

This lab gives an overview of the enhancements in RHEL6, plus it offers some hands-on excercises.
