IT Offerings Just One Answer To 'Rogue Clouds'

IT Offerings Are Just One Answer To 'Rogue Clouds' Last week we talked 'rogue clouds' in our weekly #CIOChat. And we agreed that they need to be identified and managed. Because 'rogue clouds' are going to happen, even if the CIO offers alternatives. Take a look at our #CIOChat recap from last Thursday's chat, and read some of @ECIOForum community manager John Dodge's 'top Tweets.'   There's no Twitter chat this week, but we return in two weeks 2-3 PM EST on Thursday, July 10th. And from all of us at the @ECIOForum have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Four fab features coming in Windows 9

	HP's giant ProLiant: The good, the bad, the UEFI | HP's giant Proliant challenges big iron from IBM, Oracle
	Network World Product Test				Forward this to a Friend >>>
	4 key features coming to Windows 9 (hopefully) Don't get too comfy with Windows 8.1. Soon after Update 1 was released, announcements and rumors arose about what's coming in the next version of Windows (Windows 9; for the lack of an official name.) The earliest we might see a beta is spring 2015, but here we speculate on the four most significant features it's likely to have.

Enterprises Planning Private Clouds should include Software Defined Networking with major network changes Learn More In this Issue HP's giant ProLiant: The good, the bad, the UEFI HP's giant Proliant challenges big iron from IBM, Oracle INSIDER Review: Open source proxy servers are capable, but a bit rough around the edges WHITE PAPER: Netscout Systems Inc. Real-Time Application-Centric Operations Visibility This EMA whitepaper examines the move towards application/service performance visibility within IT operations, and in particular the network-based delivery of those applications and services and the role that network-based visibility can and should play. Learn More HP's giant ProLiant: The good, the bad, the UEFI The DL580 Gen8 is HP's most powerful server in the ProLiant line. HP says that it is designed specifically to take on the IBM Power 750 and Oracle's Sun server T5-4. Two tiers are offered -- basic and high performance. With basic, you get two processors, Intel EZ-4809 V2s at 1.9Ghz clock, which means a dozen cores. The high performance selection boosts capacity to four processors, Intel Xeon 4850 V2s (48 cores), or 4890 V2s (60 cores) clocked at 2.3 or 2.9ghz respectively.

However, as services move to the cloud, data centers are no longer local, and end-user experience can suffer. Learn more >> HP's giant Proliant challenges big iron from IBM, Oracle A breathless deliveryman, having lugged a huge box from HP up the stairs to our lab, asked us, what the hell's in here? A server, we told him. A really large one. He nodded, panting, and having his signed bill of lading, left. HP hadn't told us exactly which server they were sending, noting that it's new, and hasn't been reviewed anywhere before. We didn't even know the model number. Inside the massive box was a 4U server marked: Hewlett-Packard DL580 G8. It weighs just over 100 pounds in the configuration that HP sent us. It was crammed to the gills, but also had room inside. The server sounded like a WhisperJet gone wrong when we powered it up. There's a good reason: the fans have to cool 60 x64 cores on four massive processors. Sixty!!!

Commercial proxy products, especially cloud offerings, are plentiful, but we wondered if open source or free products could provide enterprise-grade proxy services. Read More
