Al-Noor Ramji - another view

Al-Noor Ramji is a showman and a charlatan. He stuffed BT with cronies who owe their careers to him. Most of the IT development work has been shipped offshore. Soon TCS and Infosys will have a nice neckhold on BT. Worst of all, his methods aren't actually any good. Agile isn't relevant to a corporation whose IT workload is mostly systems integration and process design. Al-Noor Ramji was sacked by Qwest with a job title of Technical Adviser. His top priority has been to make himself unsackable at BT.

Al-Noor's vision is to peddle the nonsense that the world is going faster and faster, and only one man can save us from the dizzying pace of change - Al-Noor Ramji.

What are talking about...?

What on earth are you waffling on about?

I couldn't really care what your personally feelings are towards Al-noor Ramji; however - you've completely undermined any logical argument by slating Agile development processes. They're not a 100% fit for everything, but you get better results than the stacks of powerpoints, visios & pdf files that you're undoubtedly familiar with & obviously use to hide behind when the work needs to get done!!!

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.
