CloudFucius Investigates: The Comeback Cloud
— Not that it was ever down and out, but the whole cloud computing concept has gotten off to a grand but challenging start. It was all the rage when first ‘conceived’ as the new way of hosting applications with the promise of cost savings, automation, flexible/dynamic architectures, fast and repeatable deployment ...The Battle of Economy of Scale versus Control and Flexibility
— When strategies are formed it quickly becomes obvious that cloud computing is more about balance than anything else. At a time when you’d think cloud computing would be the primary “go to” strategy for managing scale and rapid growth multiple well-known and demanding organizations are building their own data c...F5 Friday: Beyond the VPN to VAN
— Web 2.0 and cloud computing have naturally pushed all things toward application-centric views, why not the VPN? When SSL VPNs were first introduced they were a welcome alternative to the traditional IPSEC VPN because they reduced the complexity involved with providing robust, secure remote access to corporate ...Inside IBM's game changing mainframe moments
— With the announcement of a new generation of IBM mainframes today, the zEnterprise, Big Blue has continued to change, improve and evolve one of the most enduring hunks of metal and electronics in the history of computing. There have been many key points in the evolution of the mainframe, here we take a look at a few ...OSCON Week: Cloud Summit
— The highlight of this year's OSCON is a stronger focus on issues related to cloud computing. This was evident from a full day event in the form of Cloud Summit on this topic. This event was organized by Simon Wardley, formerly of Canonical and now a researcher at Leading Edge Forum (CSC), and John Willis from Opscode...Let’s Face It: PaaS is Just SOA for Platforms Without the Baggage
— At some point in the past few years SOA apparently became a four-letter word (as opposed to just a TLA that leaves a bad taste in your mouth) or folks are simply unwilling – or unable – to recognize the parallels between SOA and cloud computing . This is mildly amusing given the heavy emphasis of services in all t...Strategy: Consider When a Service Starts Billing in Your Algorithm Cost
— At Monday's Cloud Computing Meetup, Paco Nathan gave an excellent Getting Started on Hadoop talk (slides). I found one of Paco's strategies particularly interesting: consider when a service starts charging in cost calculations. Depending on your use case it may be cheaper to go with a more expensive service that char...CloudFucius Asks: Will Open Source Open Doors for Cloud Computing?
— There has been a lot of press already about OpenStack’s announcement yesterday about their new open source cloud computing software. OpenStack says that the goal is, ‘to allow any organization to create and offer cloud computing capabilities using open source software running on standard hardware.’ The softw...E2.0, Productivity and Joblessness
— In the months leading up to last year’s Defrag, I began to blog about what I called “the productivity boom .” By that I meant this broad phase that we’re in, whereby we’ll see productivity in the enterprise make better than normal gains. The boom has a couple of pieces: 1. the advent of cloud computing — wh...Cloud Storage Gateways, stairway to (thin provisioning) heaven?
— With thanks to Led Zeppelin for some great lyrics. There's a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have Two meanings Since cloud computing has a bit of an identity crisis, and cloud storage is just starting to realize one itself, it should be no surprise...F5 Friday: An On-Demand Turing Test
— Detecting bots requires more than a simple USER_AGENT check today… Anyone who’s taken an artificial intelligence class in college or grad school knows all about the Turing Test. If you aren’t familiar with the concept, it was a “test proposed by Alan Turing in his 1950 paper Computing Machinery and Intellig...About
My name is Catherine Liao and you're reading the latest postings of various blogs I follow. You'll notice that the topics tend to center around Cloud Computing, Data Center, Virtualization, Servers, Web Technologies and 24x7 Operations.
These are topics that I'm interested in as I've spent a large chunk of my professional career building, deploying, and maintaining 24x7 application delivery environments. I use the knowledge I've garnered daily in my role as a Technology Solutions Architect for Cisco.
I should note that this site is my personal site and does not reflect the views of Cisco.
Feel free to drop me a note if you find this site useful or if you'd like for me to check out your blog. I can be reached at catherine.liao@gmail.com. You can also connect with me via LinkedIn or Twitter.
