InfoWorld : Cloud Monitoring

As the monitoring software vendors debate just how much to bridge the gap between test software and the working system, the lines will continue to blur as they automate the responses to the tests. The monitoring system is morphing into a management system. The most common change is adding or subtracting servers as the load changes. If the tests show that response times are slowing, the test systems can trigger the creation of new servers from the cloud without waiting for an administrator to make a decision.

yoyoclouds: Sharing CentOS Files with Remote Windows Systems- ...

Although Linux is increasingly making inroads into the desktop market, its origins are very much server based. It is not surprising therefore that Linux has the ability to act as a file server. It is also extremely common for Linux and Windows systems to be used side by side both in home and business environments.

It is a common requirement, therefore, that files on a Linux system be accessible to both Linux, UNIX and Windows based systems over network connections. Similarly, shared folders residing on Windows systems must also be accessible from CentOS systems.

Windows systems share resources such as file systems and printers using a protocol called Server Message Block (SMB). In order for a Linux system to serve such resources over a network to a Windows system and vice versa it must, therefore, support SMB. This is achieved using Linux based technology called Samba. In addition to providing integration between Linux and Windows systems, Samba may also be used to provide folder sharing between Linux systems.

In this tutorial we will look at the steps necessary to share file system resources and printers on a CentOS system with remote Windows and Linux systems.
