Six Linux softphone's list

VoIP has improved a lot since its first days, today a lot of multinational business are using it as a reliable way to keep stay in touch.

Most of these projects will involve IP phones or ATAs, but you may use softphones too, which are very convenient for the traveler guy, here we will review some of the soft phones available for Linux. Linphone Linphone is a mature piece of software, it uses SIP, for voice and video over IP, it can work as a stand alone application, and you can call other sip enabled devices just entering its ips on the dial window of Linphone, or you can configure it to use an Asterisk PBX. There are binary packages for the most common distros, so try to install it using you pa...

How to configure multipath Debian CentOS for IBM Storage

This detailed how to guides to achieve high availability and performance on Debian and CentOS for accessing storage space at IBM DS8300 Data Storage Systems. Tested on Debian GNU/Linux 5.x Lenny 64 bits and CentOS 5.3 64 bits running on 8 cores blades, with Host Bus Adapters Qlogic and Emulex Light Pulse Fiber Channel in deployed systems at SERPRO . Observations showed that Debian Lenny has the best performance, for our app load profile and hardware. Also, there are listed a number of previously not clearly documented critical pitfalls to avoid. STUDY whole articles, hints, implications, and cited resources before planning your deployment. Every detail matters . Before start, you must have LUNs at IBM DS8300 storage configured for high availability and performance as explained at the article How to configure maximum performance storage space for Debian GNU/Linux on IBM DS 8300 Data Storage Systems . Multipath and storage basic concepts In order t...

Typical Oracle RAC configurations

All configurations are based on the following building blocks: Hardware Server nodes Storage Networking Software Operating system Cluster software Oracle RAC (application) Application architecture Oracle9i RAC on RAW devices is based on a shared disk architecture. Figure 2-1 shows a two-node cluster. The lower solid line is the primary Oracle interconnect, the middle dashed line is the secondary Oracle interconnect. For high availability, both these networks should be defined in the HACMP as "private". HACMP/ESCRM provides Oracle9i RAC with the infrastructure for concurrent access to disks. Although HACMP provides concurrent access and a disk locking mechanism, this mechanism is not used. Oracle, instead, provides its own locking mechanism for concurrent data access, integrity, and consistency. Volume groups are varied on all the nodes, thus ensuring short failover time. This type of concurrent access can only be provided for RAW ...
