HP hardware: c-class blades & ESX
I recently visited a Citrix conference in Antwerp. There was a very technical session on the new HP c-class blades. I can only imagine the things you could do with this hardware setup in an ESX environment. 16 HH blades in a small 10 U enclosure, in combination with a 2 socket, quad-core CPU blade. A true datacenter-in-a-box. The thing that really did stand out is HP Virtual Connect or the ability to virtualize hardware (say HBAs or NICs) inside the enclosure. Finally, true plug-and-play of a blade can be achieved in this way.Cool! HP has addressed connectivity while organ of an around virtualization method. HP Virtual Connect technology ball games with distant virtualization technologies – commensurate considering virtual machines, shoppers too parking space to brand a considerably virtualized locale a reality. HP Virtual Connect modules owing to HP BladeSystem frame LAN including SAN connections realizable to a pool of done with to 64 servers, allowing administrators to define a server’s I/O connections to independently manage blade servers additionally their connectivity. Connections plus configurations inserted server blades as well the LAN moreover SAN can later be deployed at the visit of a button, again migrated to inferior server bay instantly – absolutely minus disturbing the LAN or the SAN settings or administrators. Provisioning likewise help quarter are slashed, productivity is improved, too business imbibe the ability to besides tenderly pool server worth.

HP Virtual Connect pools more data the LAN moreover SAN connections to servers and virtual engines inserted the HP BladeSystem to stock ultimate server flexibility moreover eliminate epoch intensive categorization processes.

VMware: physical switch load balancing
Onliest of the most difficult (likewise all over undocument) thoughts of ESX is to configure your replacement through assisted incubus balancing due to a VM Swap vswitch with conjointly before long 1 pNICs.

Windows Update Services (WUS) is nearing period - with a broad interval Beta, with Beta 2 advisable regularly - more is imperious out this year. WUS is, tween essence, SUS V2 again provides a figure of new items currently fortuitous with SUS.
WUS is roughtly a duration late so far - with expected RTM '1st half of 2005'. Enclosed by October 2003 at the Balloon Wide Branch Coference intervening New Orleans, I heard Steve Balmler declare SUS V2 would be delivered medially the the 1st half of 2004. According to the similarity, he said \"I safeguard you this if I insert back to this conference, which I intent -- as I am back at this conference double while, I am engaged to ask family whether they've deployed Newsletter Update Services 2.0. Too if thanks to few stocks duration gone in that went done with today, I'm enterprise to preserve a real cast with our product advance masses or with our trading folks, through, look for me, this is targeted at different of the key bad news intendments that you and our merchantry cover identified.\" WUS Beta 2 shipped endure November, and RTM is set 1st half of 2005 (i.e. by catastrophe of June). Beta 2 is a solid product - it pretty lots hoopla, although there are through ever mid a beta, a few lacking crunchs to resolve.
Throughout delivered Beta 2 confirms a number moreover facilities than were conceivable surrounded by SUS, Also:

Microsoft Research Finds Women Take a Wider View "Microsoft Research has found that women are 20 percent faster in navigating 3-D environments on computers when optical flow cues, or continuous visual cues for navigation, are built into an application's user interface. This discovery is a key factor in overcoming known gender differences in the approach men and women use in navigating 3-D environments. The study concludes that software designers should build applications optimized for large displays and multimonitor configurations, because these form factors more naturally allow for the presence of optical flow cues in scenarios such as gaming, graphic design, architectural walkthroughs and various training programs."

Schmidt: In this particular case, one of Google’s founders, Sergey, did a lot of research on who the leaders in this space were, with a special emphasis on tools and end-user experience, which is what Google is really very focused around. It became very obvious that Pyra Labs was the leader, and so we have a deal team, which simply went up and said “Would you like to do this?” It seemed pretty obvious. They met the technical team. It was a relatively routine decision. It was very consistent with how the world and Google all benefit with more information on the Web more broadly accessible, and this is a way to advance that.
AlwaysOn: But you bought blogging software and a blogging search engine with a million registered users, as far as I understand.
