@sfoskett woo? big freakin' deal. personally, there's more than a "smear" of gross negligence on the administration's part here....
if the vetting process for a cabinet level position completely misses these seemingly GLARING errors, than what's the bloody point of hiring the guy? i don't need personal success to drive a position but honesty and integrity is key!

Emulex liked this
i shall read it here too :)
- Ewan
ok good. i'll just set it as a conversation to my feed and obviously spam it out to twitter. ;)
- Dave Graham
Twitter is great for initiating conversations. FriendFeed is best for holding the conversations.
- Emulex
I agree, Emulex. though I'm finding a 3rd level of conversation needs to be had (to avoid the 350 character limit)...the BLOG! ;)
- Dave Graham
@randybias so, based on our conversation the other day re: FCoE running as an emulation "stack" over commodity hardware, I've been mulling over integration points in my head. OpenFCoE is definitely attractive provided the hardware foundations are already there. Obviously, there's an additional burden on host bus/cpu/mem for doing frame decap....
Emulex liked this
but as you and I noted, you're actually able to utilized the myriad of logical CPU cores present in both AMD and Intel systems (Nehalem quads have dual issue threads per logical cpu core = 8 vCPUs per physical processor) to handle these pack/unpack processes. provided the front end physical hardware is present, you could ABSOLUTELY do FCoE in software.
- Dave Graham
all it would require is the ability to integrate that stack onto something that was a little more "stripped down" than lets say a Windows box along with a methodology of passing packets directly to OS for processing (from the physical interface). I'd assume you'd have to write around the PHY for system integration, but everything else could use the stack.
- Dave Graham
I'd probably start with a stripped down LTS (Ubuntu in my case...got a thing for it) distribution and build up from there. Would prefer to use Intel PHYs though the Broadcom PHYs (along with Marvell) are getting better.
- Dave Graham
@ewantoo re: FCoE there's the obvious play for existing FC shops where consolidation is the key. However, the ability to do iSCSI as well as (depending on the integration schema) 10GbE from the exact same CNA really points to the beauty of a converged fabric. Running 3 sep. protocols on the same wire really gives flexibility to your environment.
Emulex, Louis Gray and Ewan liked this
Flexibility is nice, but if someone only ran iSCSI over their 10GbE links, would they lose anything significant? I've worked in fairly large FC environments, I'm not anti-FC, but simplifying down to "lets just use iSCSI over 10GbE" is surely going to cause less long-term support headaches for people?
- Ewan
Ewan, you'd lose some of the "grander schemes" of process, but, I'd definitely agree that keeping it to simple protocols (e.g. iSCSI and 10GbE) would ease support headaches. Then again, it's going to be a cost/benefit question as well when 16Gb/s FC, 40GbE, etc. etc. etc. come racheting along. ;)
- Dave Graham
Maybe I just hate FC in general after spending too long trying to diagnose fibre cabling issues in a data centre 3 hours drive from my house :)
- Ewan
oh that would drive me nuts. for the record, you can always do TwinAX cabling. ;) that'd cut down the optical nuisance...though, it's definitely not as "sexy" of a solution.
- Dave Graham
I should probably note that Emulex will be providing a full iSCSI offload stack in hardware on their 2nd Gen CNAs while Qlogic will only be doing iSCSI in software. Brocade, fwiw, is the outlier. who the heck knows what (if anything) they're going to be able to do in that space.

- Paul Buchheit
For example: Dave Graham of EMC: http://flickerdown.com/ and Christopher Kusek http://www.pkguild.com/ of NetApp.

Matt is excellent, Paul. Good suggestion.
- Louis Gray
Definitely Hoff, now of Cisco: http://www.rationalsurvivability.com/blog
- Stephen Foskett
Nice of Kevin to retroactively steal my answer :)
- Paul Buchheit
http://fastlane.gmblogs.com/ not completely unofficial though
- Mike Bracco
Been said, but Matt Cutts.
- Will Boncher
Heh. It was actually my original answer, but I saw Louis nab the first comment with a 'Placeholder' comment so I decided to mock him before I put Matt in. I didn't see yours till after.
- Kevin Fox
Jeremiah Owyang; Fred Wilson is my first pick, but perhaps AVC is too closely aligned with Union Square Ventures.
- Mark Evans
GM's CEO has gotten some heat for things he has said there
- Mike Bracco
Kevin, I don't mind your mockery. Paul, you should log in as admin and delete it for him or make Kevin have said something else and then lock the comment. :)
- Louis Gray
Stephen, who is the best in the storage and networking space, which I know is your forte?

Paul - LOL too funny! BTW, I was gonna say Matt Cutts too!! LOL

2 great tech on the storage & network side: Brad Hedlund (Cisco, but unofficial) http://www.internetworkexpert.org/ and Chad Sakac (EMC, unofficial and lots of collaboration including w/ NetApp) http://virtualgeek.typepad.com/
- Stuart Miniman
Thanks, Stuart. Both are very good.
- Louis Gray
Louis: wouldn't Scoble fit in this off-company domain category (aside from Building43)?
- Pablo Melchor
Pablo, in theory, yes, but as Scoble has forged his own brand and was blogging here prior to Rackspace, I think it's not a perfect fit for this example.
- Louis Gray
David Armano helped Critical Mass a lot... until he left, which raises the question of what happens when that great unofficial blogger goes elsewhere

Paul Allen - http://paulallen.net - he is CEO and founder of FamilyLink, who does the We're Related app on Facebook. He is also founder of Ancestry.com (now Generations Networks)

Whats the private cloud? it's like EC2 in your data center. Debate closed.
Anand Sharma liked this
It's amazing how this simple idea is hard for many to understand
- Anand Sharma
if it were like EC2, it'd all be proprietary, portability would be non-existent, & you'd have Google-lvls of reliability. not for me.

Part of the benefit of the cloud is in provisioning, scalability and reduced management costs. If you move that to your data center, will you still see those gains? Not sure it is really that "simple" until people can see it.

Empty back pocket? Meaning you're being ignored? It's hard to get traction or awareness if you don't participate, and even then it takes a little while.
- Louis Gray
FriendFeed easy to share and track/search, but I haven't found "discussions" that I'm a part of like on Twitter (which took a few months). Twitter has 5M, FF has .5M, so less people. aggregation is nice and you can follow discussions (threaded) easier. Very "noisy" w/ Friend of friend active and mobile (FFtoGo) not as good as Twitter due to complexity.
- Stuart Miniman
I much prefer Friendfeed. Discussion has more context than twitter.
- Kevin L
The advantage of friendfeed is that there's a lot of variety in what people do here.
- Richard A.
FF, Twitter and FB, all real time flowing 'rivers of news'. We need more anchors (PAUSE button) to slow it down and make sense of it. We need dams and distributary rivers to redirect (filters and lists) and then maps and compasses to make sense of it (Analysis and Research)

@Melanie we are hyper-active and new/information hungry. However would you miss much if you walked away for a day and came back looked at lists, rooms. I think i will be using private feeds as well
- Damian Holmes
can you share lists and filters? I would love to take a look at those who people have created and are effective. Unless you are doing a research project and are filtering on a particular topic, you need to put some serious thought into grouping and filtering. I've had the same challenge in TweetDeck
- Lou Paglia
Filters, filters, filters. :) And eventually things like APML or personal preferences.
- Mike Reynolds
Sadly the filters don't screen out stuff though, they behave more like search on keywords

If they don't fix this soon they're going to drive away a lot of users that already thought it was too complicated.

I'd definitely like a pause button. Don't mind the flow but if it's a long post I need a couple of seconds...
