Cisco’s New Data Center Plan Looks Promising. What Will IBM Think?

Finally cisco getting out the catalyst to Nexus 7000.

I read this post on google news.. looks very interesting.. a virtualization on the network architecture.

the company announced the Nexus 7000, its biggest upgrade of the basic corporate network switch since Cisco started selling its now-ubiquitous Catalyst line in the mid-1990s. The box is so fast it can download all of NetFlix’ 90,000 movies in 38 seconds, or copy the entire searchable Web in 7.5 minutes, the company claims.

But the speeds and feeds of the new box are not the big change.

The real news is a new layer of software, called a fabric, that is designed to orchestrate the efforts of the various kinds of technology found within any data center. Rather than just oversee the Cisco gear that moves bits in and out of the building, this fabric can also be used to control the servers that process those bits, the storage gear that holds them, and the applications that do something useful with them.

Cisco rep
The Nexus 7000 10-Slot Chassis will ship in a few weeks, the 18-slot in the 2H of this CY.

The reality of the Unified Fabric in the Data Center is that it is consistent with the principles we have used that make networks scalable- federated communications systems linked together with open-standards protocols.

In this case we bring the best of Ethernet, IP, FibreChannel, and High Performance Computing together greatly simplifying the overall data center architecture. Imagine if you will that changing the connectivity options of a server was a SW command instead of an outage event, cable pulling, and adding new interfaces.

I wonder if Senator John McCain is going to fall alseep this year like last year lol

US Spy Satellite may hit Earth?

 

what the…

All the experts seem to claim, this is normal and satellites go often orbit, enters the atmosphere and burns away before it hits the earth.. then why the heck are we concerned about this one. Ah! perhaps… this one contains data, nuclear reactor built on it and delta II rocket…hmmm potentially dangerous if it survives the re-enter and since we dont have control over the trajectory it might hit anywhere on earth and could be hazardous… i like the way Mr McDowell puts it.. “Its not necessarily dead, but deaf”

 If it does make it to earth and anybody gets a piece of Lockheed Martins failed project.. will we see it on ebay? =)

Windows Server 2008

 
Link to the image

Windows server 2008 seems like heading the right direction at last… 
Cool  features include

Virtulazition – Hyper V based

Server core- making it easier to carry out specific server role like DHCP, DNS,etc..,

IIS- big jump on this feature.. you can delegate administration to site admins and can restrict their privelages..( yes, finally lol),

Role- Based installation

RODC ( Read only domain controllers)- Now you can have local office running servers and cannot propogate back to your ad  and also reduces wan traffic.

Enhanced Terminal Services

 Network access protection- this is really cool.. you can have security policies in it, so you can isolate machines which do not meet the requirement.

Windows Powershell – of course linux

Bit locker- haha sys drive encryption

Better security- we will see about this one…

Overall very cool features, Ya’ll Techies better get the cert on…
