Because Ultrabooks are touted as lightweight and highly portable, the ability to handle the merchandise gives retail channels have an advantage over online channels, where the greatest advantage is often a lower price.”

The thing to bear in mind is that service providers operate their DCs as profit centers (its what they do), which is different from most enterprises, which operate their data centers as costs centers (support what they do). This is an important distinction, because the it guides how organizations fund and invest in their IT infrastructure—for the former you optimize you data center to maximize revenue generation capability, for the latter, you optimize to minimize expense. If you are looking to drive revenue, the only hurdle is to show you can effectively monetize the investment—give me $1.00 and I will give you a $1.50 back in a meaningful period of time. If you are looking to optimize for expenses, its a bit more challenging—while there is no inherent limit to how much revenue you can generate, this is a natural limit to how much money you can save (you cannot drive costs below 0). Often, if you have sunk cost in infrastructure that is otherwise up and running well, the best course of action is to do nothing—I find that if you are going to make an “invest-to-save” argument to a customer, you better have some solid, empirical data to back it up. The reality is that all this SDN stuff might end up being amazingly cool and useful but not really do anything meaningful for TCO. In recent history, both cloud and server virtualization were introduced with much heralded costs savings. As we have gained experience with these technologies, we have found them quite useful, but the economic angle has not always played out as expected.”

AWS/400: Ama­zon Builds An AS/400-oid Cloud

Pub­lished: April 23, 2012

OK, there is no such thing as AWS/400, but con­cep­tu­al­ly speak­ing, the col­lec­tion of 30 cloud ser­vices are the mod­ern ana­log to th…

“NoSQL databases are crazy stupid complicated, and there are literally only two things Amazon makes you think about to use it. This is what makes AWS truly revolutionary. Not its virtualization and cloudiness, not its utility computing model, but the relentless desire by Amazon’s crack staff of techies to get companies out of the infrastructure management business. IBM is talking about automating the installation and patch management of systems, operating systems, application servers, and database software on the PureSystems machines announced a week ago, and Amazon has removed every bit of complexity from using a database. Your children or grandchildren will understand DynamoDB. Heck, I might even give it a whirl.”
