I'm not sure what the actual network topology is supposed to be nor do I really understand their data replication methods across these storage pods, but they can always use an Infiniband to ethernet bridge / gateway and that'

For my home storage systems I've been looking at using Infiniband instead of Ethernet beyond the 1 Gbps link layer (for iSCSI and FCoE LUNs to boot thin clients off of). The cost of Infiniband switches is far lower than Ethernet and co

We're forgetting that the DJI itself has had some turbulence, too. IBM is not particularly out of step with the market itself... until just recently, which I believe lends some measure of credibility to the original headline because if

This is consistent with enterprise software as an industry in general, particularly ones under companies that have lost enough engineers and "product people" that causes a bit of a downward spiral as more and more salespersons are

As both a developer and admin, it's a little hard for me to not think across the aisle. However, I can think of developers that basically refused to think outside their solo - they tend to fit the type of person that really doesn'

I was thinking something similar but along a different line of thought using English alone. Possessive modifiers behave differently than other "pure" adjectives and whether it's anaphors. 1) Jim's red barn 1a) My red bar

I remember looking for a good DVD+R brand when I was backing up my CDs to FLAC for years and everyone had settled with Taiyo Yuden by all the various audiophile and archiving obsessed people I could find online. I haven't had a problem

One thing that strikes me as peculiar about the self-service checkout argument creating more wealth is that it assumes that the store would not have received the revenue if they weren't open at the time. Perhaps this might work in cert

A lot of consultants that are either working out of their home office or at a client site only for so long count themselves as full time remote workers because they have no defined daily place. I know I and several other traveling consultan

I've been finding these tests are like a lot of "personality" tests where they're highly dependent upon mood and such, except for this it's moreso a function of "what do you like to do these days?" or rath

There's a ton of software that's been built to do a lot of this in the really unsexy / "not very hot at all" enterprise software space with the sticker label of cloud provisioning / application deployment autom

This reminds me of going back towards a 90s job title trend - the webmaster. While that applied very much for small Geocities sites, there seems to be an awful lot of overlap and even business alignment toward minimizing operations staff &#

As someone that wears far too many hats to the point of daily paralysis, these don't sound too intimdating... until I need to figure out what to do first. This is what iterative anything / MVP / lean startup thinking is for a

Old-school Java programmers are familiar with JAR hell during deployments with simple, naïve classloaders that just pick the first JAR with the desired class in it and don't provide versioned separation and ignore manifest files. The l

What's a bit amusing is that when I was at Savvis just before CenturyLink acquired them, the snarky comment was that they only offered the fog, because it hadn't quite taken off yet. Also, despite that #1 Gartner assessment, it ce

I'm kind of wondering how this will (or can) fit from a deployment set of concerns (cross-silos, compliance & audit, handling CDNs, etc.) into large-scale environments like eBay or Paypal and whether the fraud models are appropriate for
