Customers are looking for "just what I need" solutions – in terms of pricing, functionality, simple on-boarding and ...VMworld 2010 – the EMC Hands-on-Lab
— While not the scale of the VMware HOL, as discussed here (7.6 BILLION IOs served!!!), but as far as I know, this is a VMworld first…. So – as I noted, when the vendor community bands together to support VMware in their HoL, by definition, it means we all recognize that it’s not about us,...Becoming a manager – fear of politics
— Last time I wrote on this subject, I covered only a third of the equation of the decision to become a manager. There were still some open questions, including figuring out what skills and talents I could bring to the management table, and how to deal with the vague “ugly stuff” th...VMware’s Systems Management Strategy – VMworld Update
— While VMware has articulated the need for a management strategy and has provided some building blocks for its management stack, there are currently and will be for the near term future significant gaps in the VMware management offerings even when the domain of the problem is constrained to the management of the VMware ...Scrum for Team System v3 – Release dates rollup fix.
— In the current SfTS v3 release (Scrum for Team System v3.0.3784.03), the “Release” work item “Actual Start Date” and “Actual End Data” fields are not being correctly updated by the rollup service.

— This was a session on vTeleportation – what we think it is, how we do it, why it’s important, and where we are going next, delivered by Beth Phalen the engineering VP responsible for VPLEX and I. It covers the architectural innards of VPLEX, discusses some considerations, and ...Like “API” Is “Storage Tier” Redefining Itself?
— There is an interesting bit in high-tech that isn’t much mentioned but happens pretty regularly – when a good idea is adapted and moved to new uses, raising it a bit in the stack or revising it to keep up with the times. The quintessential example of this phenomenon is the progression from “subroutines” to “l...Verizon Builds Hybrid Cloud with VMware vCloud Datacenter
— Verizon, which is really into this cloud business – against the day when phones as we know them evaporate into the ether – and so means to have clouds for everybody eventually, has added to its very high-end, mission-critical, totally handheld public cloud of last year. It’s taken VMware’s Datacenter widgetry ...Business Intelligence Vendors and Their Partners – Rough Seas Ahead
— The traditional business intelligence ecosystem is built on the numerous strategic partnerships that exist between BI software vendors, which provide the technology, and value added resellers (VARs), which provide customized solutions based on that technology. As in all partnerships, both sides need to have something s...Microsoft Procurement Moves to Cloud Computing with Hiperos

— Just a very quick posting to remind/inform all of those in and around the London area who weren’t fortunate enough to be allowed to go to VMworld US or like myself are going to the one in Copenhagen that vBeers is tonight. If you’ve never heard of vBeers before here is the “offici...Mafia Sourcing – How Insiders Game User Generated News for Money
— The Web. Open, democratic, leveling, freeing information from closed networks. The wisdom of the crowds. Or so it seems. I originally came from the entreprise software world (for 10 years) and before that I was in mobile & telecoms (8 years) so the last three years of immersing myself in consumer Internet, digi...3.012: vplex geo preview at vmworld
— Last year at VMworld, Chad Sakac previewed active/active application teleportation over synchronous distances using an at-that-time preview version of what we now know as VPLEX. This year, Chad’s done it again – he’s sneaked an early look at how VPLEX Geo will enable active/active data a...The Impossibility of CAP and Cloud
— It comes down to this: the on-demand provisioning and elastic scalability systems that make up “cloud” are addressing NP-Complete problems for which there is no known exact solutions. At the heart of what cloud computing provides – in addition to compute-on-demand – is the concept of elastic scalabil...IDC Expert ROI Case Study – Optimizing a high-growth environment with NetApp

— This post was written and contributed by Major Hayden, Linux Systems Engineer for the Rackspace Cloud. He’s also known as “Racker Hacker.” Regardless of the type of hosting you’re using – dedicated or cloud – it’s important to take network interface security seriously. Most often, threats from...The Rackspace Cloud on the Road – September 2010
— We’ll be on the road in September evangelizing the Rackspace Cloud and would love to meet you. If you’re in one of the cities where we’ll be, drop us a line and we’ll schedule a time to meet up.

I have quit Atos Origin after a decent –nearly 3 years — run at the service provider.

— Web 2.0 is about sharing content – user generated content. How do you enable that kind of collaboration without opening yourself up to the risk of infection? Turns out developers and administrators have a couple options… The goal of many a miscreant is to get files onto your boxen. The second step after that ...VMware doesn’t have a Client Side Hypervisor solution – so what?
— Is the lack of Client Hypervisor (CHv) a problem for VMware in delivering a complete desktop solution to customers especially in the light of the XenClient release announcement? Indeed, is a client side hypervisor, technology viable for business use now, where should a CHv be considered in your desktop strategy? Is it ...Cloud + BPM = Business Process Scalability
— Cloud is more likely to make an application deployment more – not less – complex, but the benefits are ultimately worth it. I was a bit disconcerted by the notion put forward that cloud-based applications are somehow less complex than their non-cloud, non-virtualized predecessors. In reality, it’s the same ap...The Easiest Way to Build, Publish & Host Websites – Microsoft WebMatrix & GoGrid
— Recently, Microsoft announced WebMatrix, a free Web development suite of software and tools that bring together a Web Server, a database and programming frameworks all within a single, integrated solution.

— As I write this, Lori and The Toddler are on their way to the store, his first trip out of the house without a diaper (nappy for our UK friends), she bravely told him that they would go get some robots as reward for being a big boy. I told her that it was brave – possibly brazen – to take him out straight away, to ...Data Centre GreenTech – Sydney
— It's good to be involved in a surprisingly fresh movement around data centre efficiency. The overall attitude is constructive and people are trying out new ideas. Reminds me of why I didn't take the job on a rig in the Gulf of Mexico back in 1996.John Muir Health Adopts VMware’s SpringSource tc Server to Streamline Application Deployment
— John Muir Health Adopts VMware’s SpringSource tc Server to Streamline Application Deployment SpringSource tc Server Improves Server Deployment Automation and Management Across Broad Range of Applications. PALO ALTO, Calif. – August 11, 2010 – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VM...Webinar Series – Part 4: The move towards Big Data
— It’s hard to believe summer is almost over! We are in the final stretch and I must admit, personally I am excited for school to start so I can get back some of my sanity. (Note “some” – not “all”) With the close of summer comes the close of our very successful webinar series R...vSphere 4.1 – What’s New, What’s Good
— Original post blogged on b2evolution.IT Chargeback Planning – A Critical Success Factor for Enterprise Cloud

— I’ll be speaking on a panel at Cisco Live on July 1. I’m looking forward to talking about the new demands on network infrastructure, and whether or not the enterprise is ready for seamless cloud. Frankly, so much of the discussion about cloud is for SMEs (or regarding apps) and so little is about the [...]Economic Incentives Applied to Web Latency
— Last month I wrote about Solving World Problems with Economic Incentives. In that post I talked about the power of economic incentives when compared to regulatory body intervention. I’m not really against laws and regulations – the EPA, for example, has done some good work and much of what they do has improved the...Celebrating Earth Day from the Emerald Isle
— By John Dwyer – International Datacentre Manager The 40th anniversary of Earth Day is a very appropriate time to reflect on the aggressive sustainability objectives that Microsoft has for the Dublin datacentre and the great progress we’ve made so far. As you will recall, the facility went into pro...VPN over WiMAX
— We live on a boat which has lots of upside but broadband connectivity isn’t one of them. As it turns out, our marina has WiFi but it is sufficiently unreliable that we needed another solution. I wish there was a Starbucks hotspot across the street – actually there is one within a block but we can’t quite pick up...Rolling Clouds – My Move into the Mobile Cloud
— As many of you saw in my last note, I have officially left Digital Realty Trust to address some personal things. While I get those things in order I am not sitting idling by. I am extremely happy to announce that I have taken a role at Nokia as their VP of Service Operations. In [...]DDoS – A Moose On Cloud’s Table Or A Pea Under The Mattress?
— Readers of my blog will no doubt be familiar with Roland Dobbins. He’s commented on lots of posts here and whilst we don’t always see eye-to-eye, I really respect both his intellect and his style. So it’s fair to say that Roland is not a shy lad. Formerly at Cisco and now at Arbor, he’s [......AMI Secure? (Or: Shared AMIs/Virtual Appliances – Bot or Not?)
— To some of you, this is going to sound like obvious and remedial advice that you would consider common sense. This post is not for you. Some of you — and you know who you are — are going to walk away from this post with a scratching sound coming from inside your skull. The [...]Cloud Providers and Security “Edge” Services – Where’s The Beef?
— Previously I wrote a post titled “Oh Great Security Spirit In the Cloud: Have You Seen My WAF, IPS, IDS, Firewall…” in which I described the challenges for enterprises moving applications and services to the Cloud while trying to ensure parity in compensating controls, some of which are either not availab...From the X-Files – The Cloud in Context: Evolution from Gadgetry to Popular Culture
— Below is an article I wrote many months ago prior to all the Nicholas Carr “electricity ain’t Cloud” discussions. The piece was one from a collection that was distributed to “…the Intelligence Community, the DoD, and Congress” with the purpose of giving a high-level overview of Clo...2010 – It’s Time for Security Resolutions Not Predictions…
— November and December usually signal the onslaught of security predictions for the coming year. They’re usually focused on the negative. I’ve done these a couple of times and while I find the mental exercise interesting, it really doesn’t result in anything, well, actionable. So, this year I’m g...MashSSL – An Excellent Idea You’ve Probably Never Heard Of…
— MashSSL allows web applications to mutually authenticate and establish a secure channel without having to trust the user or the browser. MashSSL is a Layer 7 security protocol running within HTTP in a RESTful fashion. It uses an innovation called "friend in the middle" to turn the proven SSL protocol into a multi-party...Incomplete Thought: Batteries – The Private Cloud Equivalent Of Electrical Utility…
— If the power utility "grid" represents Public Cloud, then perhaps batteries are a reasonable equivalent for Private Cloud.Cloud: Over Subscription vs. Over Capacity – Two Different Things
— There’s been a very interesting set of discussions lately regarding performance anomalies across Cloud infrastructure providers. The most recent involves Amazon Web Services and RackSpace Cloud. Let’s focus on the former because it’s the one that has a good deal of analysis and data attached to it. ...Cloud Light Presents: Real Men Of Genius – Mr. Dump All Your Crap In the Cloud Guy.
— It’s full of awesomesauce. Here. Cloud Light Presents…Real Men of Genius {Real Men of Genius…} Today we salute you, Mr. Dump-All-Your-Crap-In-the-Cloud Guy {Mr. Dump-All-Your-Crap-In-the-Cloud Guy} Some seek danger in cliff diving…others?

— About a year before I started working at the Jolly Green Giant (Cisco) I had a rather loud and addictive hobby that was focused on proving that Cisco would offer a “third party” virtual switch for VMware environments. This sort of unhealthy fascination also dovetailed with another related to “Projec...2010 RSA Security Bloggers Award – Thanks A Bunch…
— I don’t pay much attention to lists or awards, other than to usually make fun of them (especially when I’m put on one.) However, this time I’ll make an exception. I was nominated this year for the RSA Security Bloggers Awards in the category of “Most Entertaining blog” and was voted “...VMworld – v0dgeball Deathmatch Details: vSquirrels vs. Sakacc’s Army…

— This is mostly a cross-post from the official HacKid.org website, but I wanted to drive as many eyeballs to it as possible. The gist of the idea for HacKid (sounds like “hacked,” get it?) came about when I took my three daughters aged 6, 9 and 14 along with me to the Source Security conference [...]About
