First, OHMS is open source (find it here on GitHub ); second, OHMS appears to interact with/integrate with/support Redfish, a hardware-level API I first discussed back in 2014. What will happen when you combine GPUs and persistent storage? Is the era of the storage admin over ? Virtualization. Version 2.0

This article provides a good introductory overview of Linux iptables commands for configuring host-based firewall rules on your Linux systems. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management.
