Is Fujitsu's VSYS a precursor to OVF 2.0, providing vnet internal config'n info & compartment's exposed comm'n? @vambenepe ? #clouderati ?

@davidoberry #infra20 Schedule/agenda not yet set, so it could be 1.5 days.

Crazy crazy week. Using weekend to get back to IF-MAP, pubsub/PuSH and intercloud information exchange.

@davidoberry Jan 20 and 21 are confirmed. #Infra2

@duncanjw Safe travels. It was great to see you here this week.

OK... Who has such little regard for his physical well-being that he'd fire up a leaf-blower outside my window at 5:30 am? (mayhem ensues)

See my FriendMosaic at http://www.friendmosaic.com/show... ...it's fun.

@dmcar I keep rummaging in the closet mumbling: "Now... where DID I put that RPG?"

I'm preparing some new collateral material. Who's got the best 'executive' CV you've ever seen? Why did you think it superior?

R @lmacvittie: ... ["application/VM density horizon" - the density of app/vm ...] Correction. Q: Ratio of apps:vm in datacenter? per vnet?

RT [@stevie_chambers: beer horizon?] Soundtrack: Capt of USS Enterprise, seeking the beer horizon ... where no man has gone before!

R @lmacvittie: ... ["application/VM density horizon" - the density of app/vm ...] Q: apps per VM? or Raio apps:vm in datacenter?

RT [@benjaminblack: New term: scale horizon - the scale past which you cannot predict a system's behavior.] Useful! Any other 'horizons'?

Great to get together with @duncanjw to talk about CloudSoft, cloud computing and the state of the universe.

@sureddy Re HW appliance mrkt: I agree that virtualization & multi-core tech accelerates it's demise. Cloud (an ops model), not so much.

@randydarthur @alexhutton Actually, decision to trust may be binary, but even that is contextual. I'll trust it w/ this, but not w/ that.

OK, Twitter.... set the UI down slowly and back away NOW.

@randydarthur Thx. Well aware of A6 & CSC's CTP. No quarrel w/ objective or potential. However, trust is still 'relative' .

@sureddy If Cloud reduces the mrkt for (typically underutilized) HW across the board, then it hastens demise of appliances as part of that.

RT [@bmichelson: "Limit the PMO staff < 50 personnel. Smaller program offices more efficient ...] Does this PMO have it's own PMO?

RT [@alexhutton "how can you trust what provider asserts?" Trust isn't binary state. Trust based on evidence. Trust is risk acceptance ] !!!

RT [@aneel: rt @allsongs: NPR Music's 50 Most Important Records of Decade. http://www.npr.org/templat...] I need def'n of 'important'. Some jewels.

@VanessaAlvarez1 @randydarthur SLAs cost real $$ in infra, people & process. Who's willing to invest ahead of demand? Telcos & .. who else?

Hard time reaching 'compos mentis' this morning. French press mocha java seems to be working in time for the 6:30 am conf call.

Cloud Computing: it is not so much a technical 'revolution' as it is a revolution of the operating model. It blows away a hugely wasteful approach, and replaces it by putting immense POTENTIAL into the hands of individuals & enterprise. By analogy: No longer does the customer need a trained auto mechanic (or hire one on staff) in order to design,...

@duncanjw Welcome to town. We ordered up the weather in your honor.

RT [@csoandy: Would be nice to see a non-attack, non-IPCAF/IPCAF performance analysis too.] Right. Determine what's overhead w/o an attack.
