In my previous blog, I discussed “Ways to Speeding up Your Cloud Environment…”, I will continue with this thread by introducing the topic of Software Defined Networks (SDN). The industry has been depending on proprietary networking equipment and appliances, essentially creating an environment requiring vertical integrated software running on dedicated hardware.

IDC White Paper: Running Mission-Critical Workloads on Enterprise Linux x86 Servers
This IDC white paper, sponsored by Intel, examines the growth of mission-critical workloads being hosted on x86 servers based on the Intel Xeon E7 series of processors running enterprise Linux operating systems. It looks at the way in which x86 servers are taking on more demanding workloads, including databases and enterprise applications. It also discusses IDC Workloads data that shows the growth of mission-critical business processing workloads on enterprise Linux platforms.

Migrating Server Workloads to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization on Intel® Xeon® Processor 2600-based Servers for Performance and Cost Improvements
Continued enhancements to Intel platforms and KVM-based Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization make platform refresh an attractive proposition. Independent testing commissioned by Intel and Red Hat demonstrates that open virtualization on refreshed servers, servers 2 years old or more, enables workloads to be supported on fewer hosts, reducing equipment and facilities requirements, as well as lowering operational expenses such as power, cooling, and support.
Good UI design from the other side - Ultimate Coder
This week Ive been thinking a lot about how to design a UI toolkit, and this is about to get very techy, because I would like to talk about API design.
I prefer C to C++ and I'm not particularly fond of Object orientation (Although i use it on occasion). UIs is an area that are often thought of as a place where Object Oriented design realy shines, but I think that is because of how we think UIs should be designed. Lets have a look at how one would typically create a button in a UI system:
void my_button_callback(void *user)
{One platform layer to rule them all: Ultimate Coder Challenge
There is a fundamental problem when creating new hardware: you need software using it before anyone is willing to buy it. The problem with getting software written for new hardware, is that no one wants to put in the time to build applications using hardware that no one has bought yet. This chicken and egg problem has killed lots of cool hardware, from anyone who hasn't had the skills to develop their own killer apps, or the clout to convince the world that every one will buy their hardware. My first week of work on the challenge has been dedicated to trying to solve this problem.
