OpenNebula Technical Conference - January 2011

The RESERVOIR project is organizing an OpenNebula training session in Brussels on January 27-28, 2011. The training will be given by CETIC and the DSA-Research.org group at UCM and will take place in the IBM Meeting Room at Digitaleurope. RESERVOIR is an IBM-led joint research initiative of 13 European partners to develop technologies that help automate the fluctuating demand for IT resources in a cloud computing environment. To pave the way to adoption of cloud technology by businesses, the RESERVOIR project has integrated a set of virtualization and cloud management tools. The training will focus on OpenNebula, a core component of the RESERVOIR framework. The training will show how to build and use your own private, hybrid and public cloud infrastructure with OpenNebula by covering all the management aspects: installation, configuration and administration. The course includes hands-on exercises to be performed using attendee's laptops. Registration is free of charge BUT need to be confirmed by e-mail to reservoir@cetic.be as attendance is restricted to 30 persons.

Updated information is available at the RESERVOIR web site.
