- Global CIO: Oracle Seeks New Whipping Boy As SAP Thrives

- Cisco's FabricPath and IETF TRILL: Cisco Can't Have Standards Both Ways
By Mike Fratto, Editor
Standards are standards for a reason. Standards allow customers to interconnect products with a hope that they will all work together easily and simply. It's how the Internet was built, though not without some problems, and how all the networking vendors built their businesses. No vendor, not even Cisco or HP, can go it alone in enterprise networking. Even the whisper that a vendor is not standards compliant can ruffle feathers and get danders up, so vendors come up with ways to give lip service to standards compliance, when they really want to push their proprietary protocols. Vendors should innovate and address customer needs, but they should do so in a way that doesn't force customers into choosing either proprietary methods or standard protocols, something that Cisco seems to be doing with FabricPath and TRILL.

- What Comes After RAID? Erasure Codes
By Howard Marks
As I mentioned a few blog entries ago, the basic math behind parity based RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives) solutions is starting to break down. While I think it's important for those of us that spend our days thinking about these things to raise the alarm, it's more important to think and write about the technologies that can take us past parity RAID. One major contender is Reed-Solomon erasure codes, which vendors are starting to use as an efficient alternative to parity or mirroring.

- Amazon Dropping WikiLeaks Should Have No Impact On Your Cloud Plans
By Mike Fratto, Editor
Amazon kicking WikiLeaks from its Amazon Web Services does not mean in any way, shape or form that you and your company can't trust cloud services. Extreme examples like WikiLeaks are rarely applicable to the rest of the world and only show that extreme cases lead to extreme reactions. What WikiLeaks may show, by way of extreme example, is that end user license agreements (EULAs) and terms of service (ToS) need to be carefully reviewed prior to signing on the dotted line. Organizations can, and do, use cloud services and don't run the risk of being arbitrarily cut off. The slippery-slope argument that Amazon kicked WikiLeaks and they will kick you too is FUD. Don't let extreme corner cases drive your cloud strategy.
