Thoroughly knowing the difference between the three prominent types of
datacenter storage will help you immensely in job interviews, product pitches
and tech conferences.
Server storage is typically stored in one of three different methods. Since
each acronym is similar, it is imperative for you to know the stark
differences when discussing DAS, SAN and NAS.
What is DAS?
DAS stands for direct-attached storage. Think about the way servers used to
be managed. You would buy a 1U or 2U server, pop it in a rack and use the
hard disk space or hard disk array present on the server itself. Storage that
is directly attached may use the SCSI, SATA or SAS methods to interface with
the motherboard of the server. For a long time, administrators were beginning
to shy away from using DAS due to the inefficiencies and management
overheard. Now that datacenter and server virtualiza... (more)
Following in the footsteps of Apache Libcloud, another open-source cloud
library has added support for ElasticHosts.
We’re very pleased to report that the open-source jclouds Java cloud
computing library now supports ElasticHosts and ElasticStack.
This is thanks to developer Adrian Cole, whom we’ve been working with to
make this happen — see his official announcement.
You can now use the fully-featured and actively-developed jclouds library to
access your ElasticHosts instances directly.
To introduce jclouds in the developers’ own words:
jclouds is an open source library that helps you get started in the cloud and
reuse your java and clojure development skills. Our api allows you freedom to
use portable abstractions or cloud-specific features.
Here’s how we help you get started:

DR sites are typically built as an exact replica of the primary site.
Application and database software is installed on DR site and sits there
mostly unused, waiting for a disaster to happen. DR site is very expensive
proposition than only large companies are able to afford. Amazon AWS is an
interesting alternative to having your own DR site.
Oracle databases on DR side are in Data Guard configuration with a primary
site and actively apply archive log files shipped from there. Pay per use,
scalable Amazon Cloud model makes it an attractive alternative to creating
and maintaining your own DR site. During normal usage you will use only as
many resources CPU, memory) as is required to keep Oracle Data Guard

To the President of Syria, Mr. and Mrs. Bashar al-Assad
Mr. and Mrs. President Bashar al-Assad:
At the tender age of 17 months my severely ill daughter Sofia, an American
citizen, was abducted by her mother on Monday, July 26, in Istanbul, Turkey,
and taken to Syria.
Fox News: ▸ video ▸ story
I was informed yesterday by Sofia's mother that she will not be coming back
to the United States nor will she allow Sofia to return home.
Sofia has been diagnosed with a severe medical condition that requires
immediate treatment in the United States. It was scheduled to start on July
27, 2010, in New Jersey, the day after her abduction and was supposed to last
until she reaches the age of 3.
Any delay in the urgently needed treatment will result in a life-long
disability for Sofia and make her dependent for the whole of her a... (more)
Let's start with the basic question: What is the disruptor? The disruptor is
a concurrency framework for Java that allows data sharing between threads.
The age old way of coding a producer-consumer model is to use a queue as the
buffer area between the producer and the consumer, where the producer adds
data objects to the queue, which are in turn processed by the consumer.
However, such a model does not work well at the hardware level and ends up
being highly inefficient. The disruptor in its simplest form replaces the
queue with a data structure known as the ‘ring buffer'. Which brings us to
the next question, what is the ring buffer? The ring buffer is an array of
fixed length (which must be a power of 2), it's circular and wraps. This data
structure is at the core of what makes the disruptor super fast.
Let's explore a simple everyday scenario in enterprise archit... (more)

The Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), which enables organizations to seamlessly run in a hybrid cloud model (public + private cloud), is here to stay. IDC estimates that the software-defined networking market will be valued at $3.7 billion by 2016. Security is a key component and benefit of the SDDC, and offers an opportunity to build security 'from the ground up' and weave it into the environment from day one.

DevOps is being widely accepted (if not fully adopted) as essential in enterprise IT. But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes more acute. DevOps teams in any modern business must wrangle the ‘digital exhaust’ from the delivery toolchain, "pervasive" and "cognitive" computing, APIs and services, mobile devices and applications, the Internet of Things, and now even blockchain.
“Why didn’t testing catch this” must become “How did this make it to testing?” Traditional quality teams are the crutch and excuse keeping organizations from making the necessary investment in people, process, and technology to accelerate test automation. Just like societies that did not build waterways because the labor to keep carrying the water was so cheap, we have created disincentives to automate.

Vulnerability management is vital for large companies that need to secure containers across thousands of hosts, but many struggle to understand how exposed they are when they discover a new high security vulnerability. In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, John Morello, CTO of Twistlock, addressed this pressing concern by introducing the concept of the “Vulnerability Risk Tree API,” which brings all the data together in a simple REST endpoint, allowing companies to easily grasp the severity of the ...
"At the keynote this morning we spoke about the value proposition of Nutanix, of having a DevOps culture and a mindset, and the business outcomes of achieving agility and scale, which everybody here is trying to accomplish," noted Mark Lavi, DevOps Solution Architect at Nutanix, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY.
Most companies are adopting or evaluating container technology - Docker in particular - to speed up application deployment, drive down cost, ease management and make application delivery more flexible overall. As with most new architectures, this dream takes a lot of work to become a reality. Even when you do get your application componentized enough and packaged properly, there are still challenges for DevOps teams to making the shift to continuous delivery and achieving that reduction in cost ...
