VoIP and Embedded Linux
According to statistics from aplio.com, the market for VoIP/Internet telephony is expected to explode. One research company, Probe Research Inc., suggests that the total traffic for Internet telephony will reach or exceed 250 billion conversation minutes by 2005. Aplio recorded its five millionth minute in June 1999.
Calvo notes that 70% of those who use the Aplio/Phone and Aplio/Pro are what he calls members of “ethnic communities” or those “global citizens” who work in one country yet often have family or other strong ties to another country. These core Aplio/Phone users would otherwise face heavy long-distance charges without a solution such as VoIP. Similarly, Calvo estimates that the remaining 30% of Aplio's customer base consists of internationally oriented businesses, who are also looking to avoid long-distance tolls while conducting business around the world.
Asked to characterize the Aplio premium on VoIP Internet appliances, Calvo offered the expected: (1) Aplio/Phone and Aplio/Pro are non-PC products; (2) both appliances have “extremely good” voice quality; and (3) both Aplio/Phone and Aplio/Pro feature easy-to-manage user interfaces. “Our goal is to have many companies build[ing] many different appliances. In that sense, betting on an open-source operating system like Linux is a good thing, because we can very quickly prototype, develop and test our products and get them to market.”
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.
