Figure 1. SuperServer Top View

The SuperServer 6010 dual processor and 5010 single processor series of 1U servers are available from Supermicro. Both series utilize dual onboard LAN controllers, provide fault tolerance, fast Ethernet and adaptive load-balancing solutions for broad-bandwidth network environments. The SuperServer 6010H utilizes dual Intel 370 FCPGA Pentium III processors up to 1GHz, ServerWorks ServerSet III HE-SL chip set supporting a maximum of 4GB of two-way interleave PC133/100 SDRAM, 64/32-bit 66/33 MHz PCI bus, Adaptec's Ultra 160 dual channel SCSI and Intel's dual 82559 NIC network interface capability.

GN 1600 Switchless Switch

Gotham Networks introduced the GN 1600 Switchless Switch that eliminates the need for a centralized switching fabric. Featuring scalability, centralized service provisioning and pay-as-you-grow pricing, this switching architecture decreases network design contraints and aids with scaling a network for new services and speeds. The universal service card (USC) captures switching, control and protocol processing on a single, multifunction board. USCs support IP and MPLS routing, ATM and frame relay switching and circuit emulation. The GN 1600 can support up to 16 USCs.

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
