What it's all about . . .

Jun 13, 2008  By marcel

Ever wonder why a guy like me writes all these articles, pens all these books, gives talks at trade shows, universities, or appears on radio and television. It's not the fame and glory (there isn't much anyhow). No, it's something entirely different.

I have a few more shirts, but I thought it best to stop when I did. -- Marcel

Thanks for being consistently funny, informative, and always interesting. One of the few remaining bright spots in LJ. If all you need are a few t-shirts, I'll send you some myself!

Apologies in advance if I double-post- the first one got flagged as spam many hours ago and still hasn't appeared.

ps- the captcha sux. Too hard to read.

Your articles are about all that keep me buying LJ anymore. Keep up the great work, and if all you need to be happy is t-shirts, I'll send you some myself!

PS- no French accent?? I am so disillusioned!!

It's a chameleon. Interesting considering you changed your "colors" so frequently in the video.

Well, darn it all to heck! Don't I feel silly (this from the guy in that video [ insert appropriate smiley here ] ).

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.
