Presenter: Brian Stansberry
Abstract: JBoss Application Server v7's new architecture is focused on making the day-to-day management of a cluster (or single node) of JBoss servers vastly easier, more centralized, more scriptable (automation) and more secure. In this presentation, Brian Stansberry will cover the core concepts behind the new configuration model — profiles, servers, server groups, hosts, and domains. Then Brian will demonstrate how easy it is to set up and manage a domain of multiple JBoss Application Server instances. He'll show you how to manage your domain both through the managment console that ships with the application server, and via the JBoss Application Server command line interface.

Presenters: Bela Ban & Paul Ferraro
Abstract: Rapid adoption of JBoss AS by developers has been one of the Open Source success stories of the last decade. What we're seeing now is the next phase of adoption with Fortune 500 companies worldwide choosing to deploy JBoss AS and JBoss EAP to support business critical applications in production. We've heard from our customers that the key requirement for production deployment is powerful and reliable HA, and with JBoss AS7 we've built on our longstanding reputation.
In this session, Paul Ferraro will deep dive into how to configure and tune the clustering capabilities of JBoss AS7. Bela Ban will then give you a glimpse into the future of cloud-scale clustering.
