  1. People conflate 'cloud', IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS value props. That's part of the definition confusion. These value props are different.
  2. Is resource pooling really an attribute of 'cloud' or just IaaS? How does a PaaS pool resources? SaaS?
  3. @Beaker Seriously there is no such thing as a tomato cloud! ;-)
  4. Will wonders never cease? @GXS decided IaaS == "Integration-as-a-Service' and they are 'leading' it. http://is.gd/51lK7 #VendorConfusion
  5. @jtimberman @benjaminblack homebrew looks cool, but no gimp...
  6. @benjaminblack What's a better replacement?
  7. RT @rhm2k: Reading: Interview With Ezra Zygmuntowicz – Engine Yard http://bit.ly/4AB9hK [ nice job ez .... (cc@ezmobius) ]
  8. First Snow Leopard problem. MacPorts did not just work. Looks like I have to rebuild or reinstall it. Bummer.
  9. @bradhedlund @stu And I'm not really looking for a DC design. I'm exploring options for various architectures that tradeoff price 4 perf
  10. @bradhedlund @stu 2 * 10GE or 6 * 1GE are fairly typical at the moment. High levels of redundancy aren't typically necessary. #fcoe
  11. @bradhedlund 30 per box, one 10GE storage pipe per compute node.
  12. @bensons Will it work? No idea. I'm just trying to understand what the real actual hard reqs on FCoE are as they relate to Ethernet.
  13. @bensons This switch should be able to do line rate with any drops. And it is not so-called 'lossless' ethernet. It's just overbuilt.
  14. @bensons Yes, I'm clear about that. I'm aware of a switch vendor bringing a switch to market with 100x the normal buffering.
  15. RT @igrigorik: turns out, Rubinius has actors (not documented), and an experimental Multi VM (MVM) branch as well! #rubyconf [nice]
  16. @bradhedlund I'd like every VM to be able to get at least 1 SATA disk of perf bursting to as much as 4xSATA disks
  17. @bradhedlund For me the problem is easy: backing store for VMs with maximal price/perf tradeoff and can be a 100% homogenous env
  18. @bradhedlund I'm not sure that finding a vendor first makes sense. I'd rather state the problem and a cost objective, then find a solution
  19. @bradhedlund If iSCSI is *not* equiv, then why and what are the tradeoffs? This all very honest questioning. I really want to know.
  20. @bradhedlund I'm trying to understand what the best path is for a greenfield DC. Why embrace extra complexity with FC if iSCSI is equiv?
