AMD on Tuesday squeezed another speed bump out of its Thoroughbred core
before the Barton MP that's still on its roadmap materializes.
The company says it's got a pure 32-bit 2600+ Athlon MP, good for a fraction
above the 2400+ Athlon MP it came out with a month and a half ago rated at
2GHz. This one it says is worth 2.133GHz, but it's supposed to perform better
than a 2.6GHz Intel chip on certain applications.
The widget supports one- and two-way Windows and Linux servers and
workstations.
The newly available chip is priced at $273 in 1,000-unit quantities, roughly
50 bucks higher than the 2400+.
The Barton MP chip is rumored to be worth 2.4GHz-2.5GHz with added cache and
a bigger bus. According to the latest roadmap it scheduled to come out
apparently in the second quarter. Meanwhile, AMD is now supposed to debut
Opteron, its hybrid 32/64-bit x86-64 also for two-w... (more)

In case you're looking for the Linux community, you might ring up IBM. It
looks like it's over there. IBM admits to having 1,500 Linux developers
in-house, way more than the core non-IBM group of independent Linux kernel
developers, who are working on making its scalability, SMP support, failover
and high availability the equal of Unix. IBM also claims to have 5,000
employees in R&D;, porting, sales and marketing working on Linux in some way
or another and 5,500 business partners supporting the operating system.

3Par's storage combined with Netapp's file serving functionality. All
managed as a single pool of storage resources. Yes, its easy to see how this
would be attractive to customers. More efficiency for storage managers. To
me, this multi-vendor approach to unified storage makes a lot more sense than
single sourced unified storage. Unified storage should not be defined as
single source, but as consolidated management. You want to take advantage of
product synergies without limitations imposed by a single vendor.
This move is similar to one that EqualLogic made a short time ago when it
worked with Microsoft Partner AMS Storage to combine EqualLogic iSCSI
storage in a solution sold by AMS featuring Microsoft's Storage Server, This
solution features file and block storage all managed as a single pool of
storage resources. Its not hyperbole, we have customers that are a... (more)

It's clear: serverless is here to stay. The adoption does come with some needed changes, within both application development and operations. That means serverless is also changing the way we leverage public clouds. Truth-be-told, many enterprise IT shops were so happy to get out of the management of physical servers within a data center that many limitations of the existing public IaaS clouds were forgiven. However, now that we've lived a few years with public IaaS clouds, developers and CloudOps pros are giving a huge thumbs down to the constant monitoring of servers, provisioned or not, that's required to support the workloads.

I spend a lot of time helping organizations to “think like a data scientist.” My book “Big Data MBA: Driving Business Strategies with Data Science” has several chapters devoted to helping business leaders to embrace the power of data scientist thinking. My Big Data MBA class at the University of San Francisco School of Management focuses on teaching tomorrow’s business executives the power of analytics and data science to optimize key business processes, uncover new monetization opportunities and create a more compelling, engaging customer and channel engagement.
A recent argument with folks whose intelligence I hold in high regard (like Tom, Brandon, Wei, Anil, etc.) got me thinking about the following question: What does it mean, as a vendor, to say that you support the Internet of Things (IOT) from an analytics perspective? I think the heart of that question really boils down to this: What are the differences between big data (which is analyzing large amounts of mostly human-generated data to support longer-duration use cases such as predictive maintenance, capacity planning, customer 360 and revenue protection) and IOT (which is aggregating and com...
