Open Source Linux Solutions in DoD Network Installations: Managing the Risks, Maximizing the Rewards
Presented by Bill Kalogeros, Federal Manager , Bivio Networks and Jefferey Jamie, Captain (Ret.)
Some of the most innovative network security, traffic analysis and management, VoIP, and mobility applications are available to the Federal government as open source solutions increasingly implemented as software applications running on diverse hardware devices. These emerging open source packet handling applications present new application development and integration challenges for government agencies. Furthermore, incorporation of open source solutions in conjunction with commercial off the shelf (COTS) and government off the shelf (GOTS) applications create new requirements from the platforms they run on. Chief among these new challenges is the demand for multi-application support, common information sharing across agencies, multi-dimensional application scaling capabilities, deep-packet inspection, increased network bandwidth, application agility, survivability from network attack, all within the framework of a 100 percent secure network environment. As the DoD continues to evolve their use of open source technologies, the importance of securing the network and managing all associated risks will be critical and the network appliance platforms must work.
This technical presentation from Bill Kalogeros and (Ret) Captain Jeffrey Jaime will explore the types of open source security solutions and platforms that are most applicable to the Federal government, including traffic management and filtering, multiple IPS sensor deployment, stateful firewall/deep packet inspection and UTM, as well as other network defense solutions and how IPv6 will impact these strategies in real networks.

Open Source Collaboration and Retail
Presented by Dave Jenkins, CTO, Backcountry.com
Moving from a small business to a medium business can be a challenge, especially in online retail. Backcountry.com, the second largest online outdoor retailer, recently underwent a growth spurt, moving from a staff of a few dozen employees to hundreds of employees. With this rapid growth, however, came a new set of challenges, particularly in collaboration. Learn how Backcountry.com CTO, Dave Jenkins, has leveraged open source solutions to combat some of the most frustrating challenges in collaboration at a price tag a growing business can afford. In this session Dave and an executive from Zimbra will explore how deploying the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, Asterisk and MySQL can greatly improve collaboration for retailers.
