Nick Carr takes on Colbert
First off, congrats to Nick Carr – we’ve talked with him (and disagreed with him!) often on the blog and we’re thrilled that he managed to go toe-to-toe with Stephen Colbert on last night’s show.

Props from Redmonk
Michael Cote of Redmonk just recently spoke with us and some other vendors here in Austin, and talked about it in a podcast he put up on his (very well read) blog.

A few of a many, or many of a few?
Ken Church, Albert Greenberg and James Hamilton of Microsoft recently put out a paper on “Delivering Embarrassingly Distributed Cloud Services.”[PDF] Like most papers of this type, it’s a dry read, but informative. It looks at the tradeoff between mega-data center size and micro-data center diversity from the both the viewpoints of total cost of ownership [...]
Cisco’s Human Network and Microsoft’s Commercials about Nothing
It’s easy to hit Microsoft for its ad campaigns; between the misleading nature of the “Mojave Experiment,” followed by the theatre of the absurd campaign starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld but which actually failed to explain absolutely anything about anything Microsoft does, and finally it’s “I’m a PC” campaign which can be seen as [...]
The Symbiotic Nature of IT and Business
One of the weird things about IT is that people often talk about the “relationship” between “IT” and “The Business.” The word “relationship,” however accurately describing the circumstances is a bit odd.

So NetQoS ran a survey polling 112 respondents who attended Interop New York [...]
IT Makes Lemonade from Macro-economic Lemons?

Network Performance Links: September 16, 2008
Get out your valium. Bloomberg: U.S. Stocks Drop, S&P 500 Sinks Most Since 2001 Terror Attacks The Dow Jones Industrial Index, simultaneously economic barometer, canary in the coal mine, and metaphor for America’s hopes and dreams, has dropped 500 points in the worst slide since the September 11th attacks.

Work Harder, Puny Earthlings!
It is a great selling point for many networking vendors to point out exactly how much money you lose when networks aren’t performing to peak efficiency – and there are real savings from faster round trip application response times.

Apparently, the results are not unlike a hefty bag filled with chili con carne, dropped from the top of a skyscraper. Only instead of a hefty bag, it’s the U.S. economy. So, as Wall Street explodes like an [...]
