That sound you hear? The next datacenter problem The more servers that are added to a datacenter, the more cooling that center is likely to need. And the more cooling those servers require, the more "whoosh" is generated. Whoosh, for the uninitiated, is the annoying noise of fans and humming power supplies that can feel like a pressure in your head. VMware benchmark tool raises fairness questions VMware is making a free benchmarking tool available to IT professionals Monday to evaluate the performance of virtualization technology in their datacenters. Meanwhile, it seeks to assure competitors that the benchmarking standards will be fair to all of them. July 23, 4:45 a.m. PDT HP is its own case study with datacenter project The datacenter consolidation project being undertaken by Hewlett-Packard will help it be more efficient but also informs the consulting advice it gives to client companies. June 20, 5:09 a.m. PDT Poor purchasing oversight Incident: “Oliver, do you know anyone with a pallet jack?” This isn’t a question you want to hear from a friend over your Saturday late-morning Dewar’s and Froot Loops because there’s no way this call can lead anywhere good. So the instinctual answer is where you should leave it: “No.” But morbid curiosity always prevails, and the inevitable happens: “Why?”  May 7, 3:00 a.m. PDT Yet another cleaning lady story Incident: Dust bunnies collect everywhere. Even in server rooms with rubber floors, sleek black racks, and loads of fans. Why this happens has eluded even DARPA’s finest scientific minds. What’s also eluded DARPA’s brain trust is why offices routinely allow their cleaning people access to critical server rooms during unsupervised off-hours. May 7, 3:00 a.m. PDT Vendors push for Fibre Channel on Ethernet standard A group of data-center vendors has proposed a standard for putting Fibre Channel traffic on Ethernet networks, saying it could simplify management and cut costs. April 5, 12:20 p.m. PDT Data centers breathe easier with less oxygen As data centers become hotter and more dense with servers, a greater chance for fire exists. But there's equipment on the market that applies a well-known method of halting fire: starving it of oxygen. March 16, 9:04 a.m. PST The greening of IT Ever have this experience? One day, you read about something, then suddenly you start noticing references to it everywhere. This happened to me recently with energy-efficient IT, aka the green datacenter. Today, a gentle trickle of attention; tomorrow — blam! — it’s on everyone’s lips. February 26, 3:00 a.m. PST Gauging Net consumption However it is that urban myths get started, it’s kind of a bummer when one of them gets dispelled. A couple years ago, for example, a Chinese astronaut went into space and debunked the myth that the Great Wall is visible from up there. February 22, 3:00 a.m. PST 12 crackpot tech ideas that could transform the enterprise Technologies that push the envelope of the plausible capture our curiosity almost as quickly as the would-be crackpots who dare to concoct them become targets of our derision. February 19, 3:00 a.m. PST IBM, Siemens venture lands $9.2 billion German army IT deal Efforts to award the "Herkules" contract to modernize and manage the information and communications technology of the German Federal Armed Forces have proved to be an Herculean task. January 2, 6:19 a.m. PST Predicting user behavior still not an exact science A recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer on the use of predictive analytics to determine which of Philadelphia’s parolees were likely to commit murder caught my attention. A broad definition of predictive analytics would be the process of matching statistics with historical data in order to predict future events, mainly human behavior. December 12, 3:00 a.m. PST Good ideas take time Two years ago, I publicly floated the concept that IT should start thinking more like entrepreneurs. What a disaster! I was speaking at a meeting of CTOs, and I mentioned that I’d heard of a few IT departments that were focusing, at least in part, on creating saleable new products and services for their companies. I asked the group what they thought of the idea. December 4, 3:00 a.m. PST Consolidate, outsource, or both? Datacenter consolidation is the mega-solution for bringing IT costs, man-agement, and disaster recovery under control, but depending on a company’s goals and size, outsourcing can also play a useful complementary role. “Outsourcing should definitely be part of the decision process,” says Michael Bell, research vice president at Gartner. “Once you make the decision to consolidate or relocate, it then becomes a question of whether you should build a new datacenter, buy one, lease one, or outsource it.” November 20, 3:00 a.m. PST IBM introduces virtualization dashboard IBM onThursday is introducing a new tool to manage virtualized datacenters even if the center is running different types of virtualization software. November 2, 5:08 a.m. PST IT by the book Can something that’s been kicking around for more than 15 years qualify as an overnight success? It certainly feels that way with ITIL, a collection of nine books that lays out a blueprint for IT service management. In the United States, at least, ITIL has recently catapulted itself from a respected, if somewhat obscure, treatise for governance geeks to a mainstream discipline. October 23, 3:00 a.m. PDT Cisco acquires Nuova through investment Cisco Systems will acquire an 80 percent stake of datacenter company Nuova Systems through a $50 million investment, the networking company said Thursday. August 11, 4:35 a.m. PDT Datacenter failure pinches UK health service Technicians continued working Tuesday to restore a computerized patient administration system for 80 medical facilities in northwest England that failed Sunday during upgrades to the National Health Service's (NHS) IT systems. August 1, 7:44 a.m. PDT PlateSpin, Leostream ease the move to virtual datacenters When planning a datacenter migration from P2V (physical to virtual), rebuilding servers in the virtual realm to take over for their physical counterparts is a task that must be accomplished manually — a complex, arduous, and money-burning effort. So what could be simpler than running a few apps on the target physical servers and magically watching them boot in the virtual realm? June 30, 3:00 a.m. PDT US government agencies look to efficiently convert old data The future of U.S. government IT systems will include a big focus on converting old data into electronic form, two government IT leaders said Friday. June 16, 12:06 p.m. PDT Cedars-Sinai cures storage ills with clustered NAS If your job is a daily fight against time to save lives, the vagaries of a storage system should not get in your way. This is the problem that Dr. Parag Mallick faced at the Cedars-Sinai Center for Applied Molecular Medicine in Los Angeles, where he is the director of proteomics for the research division of the hospital. The solution Cedars-Sinai chose was clustered NAS. June 15, 3:00 a.m. PDT When plain NAS beats clustering If clustered NAS is the way to go, why do traditional NAS systems still account for the majority of deployments? June 15, 3:00 a.m. PDT InfoWorld CTO 25: Mark Goodge Mark Goodge, CTO of the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) understands the importance of technology. He’d better: As a health care enclave for all four branches of the U.S. armed forces, NNMC spans 5,000 network users across 5,000 miles in five states. But technology isn’t the only issue on his mind, or even the foremost one. June 5, 3:00 a.m. PDT InfoWorld CTO 25: Russell Daniels As CTO and vice president of HP’s software business, Russell Daniels has a service-oriented perspective normally associated with applications -- rather than, say, his flagship OpenView product. June 5, 3:00 a.m. PDT InfoWorld CTO 25: Bob DeRodes Bob DeRodes used to be a long-snapping center, but he says he missed his shot at the NFL. Instead, he became executive vice president and CIO of The Home Depot. June 5, 3:00 a.m. PDT Hack Tales: Keeping track of tools the wireless way “Who has that damn cart now?” During a network build-out for a large New York commercial real estate manager a few years back, that phrase got shouted often enough to become a stress mantra. May 29, 3:00 a.m. PDT Hack Tales: Keeping thin clients synced from coast to coast I once consulted for a medical-records company that was rolling out thin clients to nearly 50 offices around the United States. The goal was to build a large Citrix MetaFrame farm over WAN links to the main datacenter, which was located outside Boston, providing a Windows desktop for every user without dealing with hardware problems at each site. May 29, 3:00 a.m. PDT Hack Tales: Network auditing on a shoestring What do you do when the auditors are breathing down your neck, wanting to see an exhaustive report on the Windows network security of a 2,000-user network across eight sites? That’s easy. Break out a text editor and start writing some Perl. May 29, 3:00 a.m. PDT Hack Tales: Air-gap networking for the price of a pair of sneakers Federal IT managers face troubling times when it comes to synchronizing an air-gap network. And just in case you’re thinking “air gap” refers to a new brand of sneakers … well, you’re almost right. May 29, 3:00 a.m. PDT Determina pre-hacks applications against intruders Malicious hackers are constantly exploiting software vulnerabilities. Vendors and IT staff alike spend countless hours racing to update protection signatures and install patches before their exposed systems can be compromised. It’s a never-ending battle that favors the hackers. May 15, 3:00 a.m. PDT ConSentry locks down the network Traditionally, enterprise networks have been built on trust: Anyone connected is assumed to be authorized because they have to be on the premises. But the growing prevalence of wireless networks, remote access, and nonstaff workers have turned networks into easy targets. “The LAN is now the new DMZ,” says Tom Barsi, CEO of ConSentry. May 15, 3:00 a.m. PDT Peer-to-peer device networking takes shape The concept of SEDs (service-enabled devices) started way back in the ‘80s with something called tuple spaces, and later took shape as Jini nder the guidance of Sun Microsystems. Jini came about when Bill Joy, Sun’s chief scientist, imagined a peer-to-peer world where every device could talk to every other device: “Hello, I’m a color printer. This is my feature set and here are my printer drivers. Would you like to access me?” May 2, 3:00 a.m. PDT Load balancers from F5 Networks and Zeus Technology tip the scales Load balancers used to be fairly simple, distributing user requests from the Internet to a group of servers instead of just one. Between the drive to differentiate themselves and the increasing sophistication of Web sites and enterprise intranets, current load balancers add a plethora of additional features, from SSL off-loading to Web application acceleration to content inspection and security filters that guard against hackers exploiting known vulnerabilities to gain control of Web servers or applications. May 1, 3:00 a.m. PDT EMC banking billions on ILM EMC Corp. is investing US$1.2 billion this year to develop and acquire technologies geared to help businesses share, protect, manage and secure data, said Chief Executive Officer and President Joe Tucci in his keynote address at the EMC World conference in Boston Monday. April 24, 10:12 a.m. PDT Stupid user tricks: Eleven IT horror stories No matter how hard we pray, how many chickens we sacrifice, how often we chant naked by moonlight, every network is at one time or other exposed to the ultimate technology risk: users. April 13, 3:00 a.m. PDT The long road to RFID interoperability Software isn’t the only factor driving wider adoption of RFID. Perhaps the largest single enabler has been the emergence of Gen2 -- officially known as the EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2 UHF RFID Protocol for Communications -- which is the standard protocol for EPC (Electronic Product Code) tag transmissions. April 13, 3:00 a.m. PDT Next-gen RFID tools expand the market Despite the hype, the truth is that RFID deployments made little headway in 2005. New standards, prohibitive costs, and the lack of upper-level business context left most companies tuned out to this much-ballyhooed technology. April 13, 3:00 a.m. PDT Virtualization fever at LinuxWorld Expo The most prominent names in open source descend on Boston this week for the annual LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. Highlights of the show will include a new Mobile and Embedded conference track and a Grid Solution Showcase, but the hottest trend seems to be virtualization, with several new offerings set to debut throughout the week. April 3, 3:00 a.m. PDT MIT makes heterogeneous IT systems work The IT staff at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has to be prepared to work with just about anything. It manages a delicate balancing act, promoting core IT standards for security and networking while still giving each department the freedom to choose its own technology platforms and applications. April 3, 3:00 a.m. PDT Collapse of Check Point/Sourcefire deal raises questions Faced with resistance from the U.S. government’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), Israeli software company Check Point Software Technologies put its $225 million offer to purchase IPS (intrusion prevention software) vendor Sourcefire on hold March 23, raising the specter of heightened government oversight of mergers and acquisitions. April 3, 3:00 a.m. PDT The hidden challenges of federated identity For years, companies have kept stores of identity information about employees, customers, and partners. These databases and directories are critical components of a company’s identity infrastructure. But as businesses push to create new products and increase productivity, they have discovered that they often must cooperate to provide the services their customers and employees demand. March 24, 3:00 a.m. PST Scaling a federated identity infrastructure Different kinds of organizations approach the problem of scaling a federated identity implementation in different ways. When you’re federating with one or two partners, hammering out the legal arrangements and assigning risk and liability is done one partner at a time. Even if technology standards provide universal system interoperability, the lawyers are likely to approach each agreement as a one-off task. Let’s call this model “peer-to-peer federation.” March 24, 3:00 a.m. PST Clean house, clean data Before you build anything, you have to get your house in order -- ripping out the old, reorganizing and cleaning up what’s left. I know this firsthand: Right now I’m neck-deep in a house remodeling project that will ultimately transform my grungy old basement into a family room, home office, and bathroom. February 6, 3:00 a.m. PST Tokyo Stock Exchange installs new clearing system The Tokyo Stock Exchange successfully installed a new stock trade clearing system over the weekend and saw no problems during the first day's trading, it said Monday. January 30, 4:08 a.m. PST Wall Street Beat: Earnings bring mixed results Earnings season blew in with a vengeance this week, with disappointing fourth-quarter results from industry bellwethers Intel Corp. and IBM Corp. offset by better-than-expected reports from other vendors. January 19, 4:20 p.m. PST Storage virtualization and iSCSI don't mix As more and more products enter the market, iSCSI is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to FC (Fibre Channel) SAN technology. Not only is iSCSI cheaper than Fibre Channel, but the technology is less complex to implement. Because it uses the familiar IP network protocols, it simplifies the IT skill set needed to maintain the SAN. Thus, though it’s not as fast and has a lower maximum capacity than FC systems, iSCSI meets the needs of many small businesses and non-mission-critical enterprise storage applications, such as departmental file sharing and near-line data storage. January 12, 3:00 a.m. PST What isn't storage virtualization? Vendors often use the term "virtualization" to describe myriad products, including global name spaces, virtual storage area networks (VSANs), pooled NAS (network-attached storage), thin-provisioning software, virtual file systems, virtual tape libraries, RAID arrays and disk clusters, and virtualized application and file servers (such as EMC's VMWare). But although these technologies all use some sort of virtualization, they don't actually qualify as storage virtualization. January 12, 3:00 a.m. PST Virtualized storage, real rewards As senior director of enterprise technology operations at Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), a prison management firm that handles more than 60 facilities, Brad Wood faces several challenges. His group manages approximately 100TB of data -- including inmate medical records, operational records, e-mail, and so forth -- across four Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) storage arrays in two datacenters. Because of federal and state rules, much of the company’s data is mirrored three or four times to keep it accessible in case of failure. Adding to the complexity, Wood buys his hardware based on current price and performance, so he has a mix of suppliers. January 12, 3:00 a.m. PST IT will give up control of the network As we look at all the changes taking place on the Internet during the past several years, I think we can boil it down to two simple observations. First, the volume of traffic is increasing exponentially: E-mail, IM, and RSS all mean more connections. Second, each connection is moving a great deal more data, including multimedia, voice, and video. January 10, 3:00 a.m. PST A first look at Windows Compute Cluster Server It used to be that building a usable compute cluster took plenty of money, skills, and space in the datacenter. Although creating the actual applications that run on the cluster can still be difficult, nowadays building a Linux-based cluster is generally quite simple. Commercial and open source clustering packages abound with features, open protocols, and streamlined installs. No surprise, then, that Microsoft wants a piece of this potentially lucrative market. January 9, 3:00 a.m. PST High-performance computing: Supercharging the enterprise Merlin Securities, a new prime brokerage providing trading, financing, portfolio analysis, and reporting for multibillion-dollar hedge funds, needed a competitive edge. Its larger rivals, such as Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and UBS, had the advantage of expensive mainframes that could consolidate and analyze millions of trades each day and return reports via batch processing the next morning that measured performance on a monthly basis. So Merlin outclassed its competitors by returning trade performance information in near real time with performance measured on a daily basis and performance attribution on multiple levels, including in comparison to other securities in a market sector, numerous benchmarks, and other traders in the firm. What’s more, it did it using an inexpensive compute cluster made up of four dual-processor Dell PowerEdge 2850 servers. January 9, 3:00 a.m. PST Tech reviews for the holidays Even IT takes a holiday now and then. Same goes for the InfoWorld staff, which chills out by taking a one-week break following the publication of this, our 51st and final issue of the year. December 19, 3:00 a.m. PST Why data synchronization still matters The physics of data management used to dictate that your data could be either consistent or highly available but never both at the same time. The discipline of data synchronization sits uncomfortably on the horns of this Heisenbergian dilemma. As times change, though, so do the trade-offs associated with synchronization and its uses. November 30, 3:00 a.m. PST Hardware isn't enough IT buyers live in a golden age of commodity hardware. Processors, servers, networks, storage, you name it: Every segment of the IT stack keeps getting faster, cheaper, and more commoditized. No surprise, then, that IT managers often resort to a checkbook-waving strategy, throwing hardware at every IT problem, from a balky WAN to an application speed bump. November 28, 3:00 a.m. PST Competing network-management rivals unfurl faster, smarter wares Network management rivals Network General and Network Instruments on Monday separately announced significant enhancements to their respective Sniffer and Observer product lines. November 7, 12:01 a.m. PST Virtual Iron widens support with 2.0 Data-center virtualization and management startup Virtual Iron Software is expected to make the second release of its software, Virtual Iron 2.0, generally available Monday. The new version of the company's software adds support for Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron chip and for IBM's BladeCenter blade servers as well as expanding policy-based management capabilities, according to a Virtual Iron executive. October 31, 4:25 a.m. PST Beware the on-staff backstabber I've worked in IT since the early '80s, but the craziest time I recall was the Y2K era, when almost every business on the block decided it was time to retool their old junk or invest in new systems. I was working for a development company at the time, and a huge electronics chain with multiple locations around the country contracted with us to design a new network for them. I ended up in charge of the project, and I went for the complete rebuild, everything from cabling to telecom. I estimated that it would take several months to complete. October 19, 3:00 a.m. PDT Living in an all-Internet Protocol world Hossein Eslambolchi is a man of many titles. He is president of AT&T Global Networking Technology Services and AT&T Labs, as well as CIO and CTO of AT&T proper. When Hossein talks, I listen. And what he talks about in late August is the inevitable move to 100 percent IP networking. August 30, 4:00 a.m. PDT Open source identity A complete identity management solution comprises a number of components. As such, it would be difficult for any single open source project to offer a plug-and-play identity management system. There are, however, a number of projects that offer components of such a system, particularly in the area of federation and SSO (single sign-on). August 8, 5:00 a.m. PDT Farewell, CTO Connection If you haven’t checked out this week’s columns yet, let me be the one to break the bad news: Chad Dickerson is hanging up his InfoWorld CTO spurs and heading off to Yahoo, where he’ll be toiling away in the brave new world of search. August 8, 5:00 a.m. PDT Sun to open European data center for remote management BOSTON - Sun Microsystems Inc. will open a European data center to remotely manage customers' systems within the next few months, according to the head of the company's services business. Sun is also considering establishing a similar facility in Asia-Pacific, most likely in China or India. August 1, 12:51 p.m. PDT BladeLogic brings order to datacenter chaos Back in 2001, around the time the dot-com bubble burst, Vijay Manwani was well aware of the hype surrounding utility computing, but he saw greater potential elsewhere. August 1, 5:00 a.m. PDT The dumb remote office Management, compliance, and security concerns have made consolidation all the rage in large organizations, which have increasingly moved their applications and data from globally dispersed servers to a few centralized, tightly secured data centers. With the trend toward intelligent networks, we may one day see remote offices with very little intelligence of their own. July 18, 5:00 a.m. PDT Building the intelligent network The days of the fat, dumb pipe, are over. Servers applications, and storage have been shouldering the intelligence and security burden for too long. It’s time for the network infrastructure itself to add some smarts. After all, when it comes to intelligence, the real beauty of the network is that it touches everything. July 18, 5:00 a.m. PDT SNIA works toward ILM standards Implementing an ILM strategy is neither simple nor straightforward for any organization. For one thing, although the point solutions offered by storage vendors today address parts of the problem, true ILM must encompass the whole datacenter. June 6, 5:00 a.m. PDT Investigators link Cisco hack to other activities A theft of computer source code from Cisco Systems, reported a year ago, has led to a wide-ranging investigation of potential criminal activity involving multiple server break-ins in several countries, according to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). May 10, 9:44 a.m. PDT Feed the monitoring multitudes The GigaVue-MP is a modular system that provides line-speed port aggregation, switching, filtering, and duplication of streams via an out-of-band switch fabric for network analysis. It filters traffic on just about anything in the Ethernet header, extracts or combines it with other inputs, sends it to a collection of output ports, and filters it yet again. This combination of pre- and post-filtering allows you to match any link to any tool, as well as perform many-to-one and one-to-many switching. You can send port 80/443 data to your application monitoring tool, VoIP traffic data to your telecom group, and all traffic data to your IDS/IPS tool. Additional monitoring tools can be added to the mix simply by modifying GigaVue’s filter table. May 2, 5:00 a.m. PDT Qwest makes new $9.9B bid for MCI Qwest Communications International has made what it called its "best and final offer" to purchase the outstanding shares of MCI for about $9.9 billion, Qwest said in a statement Thursday. April 21, 5:01 p.m. PDT InfoWorld CTO 25: Tim Howes For Tim Howes, the solutions for the big problems facing IT boil down to a single word: automation. As CTO for Opsware (formerly LoudCloud), he helped the company transform itself from a managed services provider to a developer of IT automation software. Howes helped invent LDAP and is co-creator of the Data Center Markup Language, an emerging standard that allows disparate IT management systems to talk to one another. Howes believes automation is essential to realizing the vision of utility computing, where businesses can consume — and pay for — just the computing services they need. Automation may also help systems identify and patch security holes before they can be exploited. “How do you take the explosion of complexity we’ve seen over the last few years and get it under control?” Howes asks. “It’s way too complex to manage manually. That’s where automation comes in.” April 11, 5:00 a.m. PDT Fujitsu-Siemens to add Solaris to FlexFrame HANOVER, GERMANY -- IT managers using Fujitsu-Siemens Computers' FlexFrame architecture for managing SAP software will soon be able to add servers based on the Solaris operating system to their networks, Fujitsu-Siemens executives said Wednesday at Cebit.
