The Secret to Dealing With Infrastructure Headaches
by Rohit Sharma
In our ideal webworld, developing and deploying consumer-facing web-based applications should be as easy as 1-2-3.
Step 1: Develop Step 2: Deploy Step 3: Scale
In our ideal webworld, developing and deploying consumer-facing web-based applications should be as easy as 1-2-3.
And as every single successful application on the web teaches us instead, the magical step 2 of deploying and scaling the application is the most treacherous part of it all. With clouds of all kinds — compute, store and networking — hovering hopefully around us, application developers would love to focus on refining the application vs. worrying about fixing underlying infrastructure.

Unix turns 40: The past, present and future of a revolutionary OS
I felt aged when I reviewed the timeline and noted that I was a journeyman with C/Unix in the early 80's when AT&T released Unix System V, Thompson and Ritchie won the ACM Turing award and Sun was founded. Ah, and the green glow of the terminal from my DEC PDP 11/70. Makes me wonder what would've happend if I had taken that job as a kernel developer with Bell Labs, instead of staying in Texas with my sweetheart whom I've been married to for twenty-two years. - Mark

The Evolution of Cisco’s Data Center Strategy
"Cisco’s data center strategy is unfolding. It’s gone from a focus on consolidation to virtualization to automation."
"From complexity to simplicity, rigidity to flexibility, isolation to shared infrastructures, power-hungry to power-efficient, siloed IT teams to transparent organizations, and discreet to integrated platforms – the next-generation data center won’t be as disjointed or sedentary. With unified computing and virtualization, data centers will be more scalable and agile."
