Thanks for this great article. Nowadays is seems, that the MS-Plattform IIS/ASP.NET/SQL-Server gets a bigger portion of the market each and every month. So maybe Apache needs a (major) update? Or what else is the reason?

Apache

The Apache web server is one of the most important open source projects. Not only is it the world's most popular HTTP server but more importantly it is the reason that the server side of the Web is not dominated by Microsoft. We all know about Microsoft's strategy of 'extending' the 'commodity protocols' on which open source projects depend, as a way of denying open source an entry into the market (The Halloween Documents: http://www.opensource.org/halloween/). If Apache wouldn't have been people probably would have had to develop one version of their web pages for Netscape servers and one for Microsoft servers. Eventually Microsoft would have won the 'server war' as it won the 'browser war' but luckily this did not happen. Instead Apache changed the rules on the server side.

Yes!

This is a very insightful comment, from a very insightful post. I'm very new to the open source community or idea, and didn't know about Apache until – of course – today. This is fantastic. I think the world at large owes a lot to the open source community without even knowing it. Open source doesn't get the publicity it should. However, true people in the community don't mind that too much – that's the risk and the sacrifice you make when you enter into this community and try to make things better for everyone. So, to all those who are involved out there : thank you!

Great information

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.
