Before I present this episode’s collection of links, articles, and thoughts on various data center technologies, allow me to first wish all of my readers a very merry and very festive holiday season. If you’d like to play around with Cumulus Linux but don’t have a compatible hardware switch, Cumulus VX is the answer. Networking.

One cloud computing solution is to deploy the platform as a means for disaster recovery, business continuity, and extending the data center. Whether it is redundant hardware or a private hot-site, keeping an environment up and running 99.99% (insert more 9’s here) of the time is a tough job. Uptime and resiliency.

There’s a lot of business intelligence and data warehousing that require a lot of horsepower, as well as application/web servers and other applications dedicated to handling massive email volumes. They manage dedicated firewalls for us, but as far as load balancers we use the cloud. Managed Data Becomes Latisys.

In the past, IT departments used to set up a new server for each new application that they wanted to deploy. This low level software allowed multiple applications to run on the same physical hardware but believe that they had the box all to themselves. The arrival of virtualization software changed everything. No related posts.

VMware is talking about the business of IT and how they enable their own business to deliver applications. It’s all about vCloud (vCloud Automation Center and vCloud Director) and NSX (yet to be released). This is where partnerships from both hardware vendor and existing software management solutions. NSX, NSX and more NSX.

This time around, the content is a bit heavier on cloud management and applications/operating systems, but still lots of good content all the way around (I hope, anyway). Servers/Hardware. Operating Systems/Applications. Networking. Matt Oswalt recently wrapped up his 3-part “DevOps for Networking” series.
