This article is classic self promotion in the vein of: 1. choose concept 2. label evil 3. ??? 4. profit!
At the risk of being constructive, if Maya actually spent time looking at what larger enterprises are planning over the next few years they would see the obvious architectural foundations for creating compute/storage/application pools emerging within enterprise data centres.
Extending these across physically or geographically dispersed platforms (eg DR) will be well within our technical capabilities in the timeframes usually discussed. To see these platforms interacting with external third party resources also seems suitable as a destination architecture regardless of, or perhaps because of, its distance. The positive effect such a common architectural goal has on the fragmented deployments I see all the time in Enterprise DCs, cant be a bad thing.
This wont be the only cloud outcome, especially for small and Internet scale, as the majors are massively committed to branded, propriety solutions but enterprise will do their thing, relying on enterprise technologies and this will be of far more import than some bodgie P2P concept from an enterprise perspective.
I recently saw a documentary on Australian TV where an Italian Professor in the 70s lined up a fair number of troops on the shore with polished METAL shields and set fire to a wooden boat below. Did it a couple of times. Seemed pretty straight forward although I'm sure someone who hasn't actually SEEN the film will comeback with a reason why this never actually occurred.
I know a mob in Melb that are at helping set up a similar thing on a trailer. There's a new bird up and some very interesting pricing for it. The self aiming dishes are kinda expensive but if you roll your own like this guy then you can have bandwidth from NZ to Africa and up to China! While VC and VoIP is a bit scratchy (QoS to come) its still a goer! They recommend a concrete foundation but clearly you don't always need one !
We got slamed at 12.27am EST in Melb. I unplugged the outside of our firewall then put a packetshaper b/n our firewall and the net. I got the top talkers on HTTP and if they were in our DHCP range (AKA end users on W2K and thus infected) did a ndtstat -A to see who they were and get the mac address. Jumped on the cisco switch and did a show cam then disabled the port. Spent must of the day re-imaging PCs. We will drop all external HTTP except via the proxy (should have cracked down on that ages ago anyway) and kill all outgoing devices that pop up sending directly out. Hope this will help stop this crap !
Did the patches (right way I hope) and updated the virus def files. Chose to stay off line till tomorrow.
Good luck folks
A large Porn slick was reported to have been spotted off the coast of Singapore today according to Melbourne Radio 3RRR. The Porn slick, leaking from the severed SEA-ME-WE 3 communications cable, was several kilometres long and is spreading rapidly. Shipping is warned to avoid the slick as several ships have already gone down in the area.
