Introduction: On the blogs.technet.com article on microsoft.com's infrastructure: The article reads like a blatant ad for it's own products, and is light on the technical side. The juicy bits are here, so you know what the fuss is about: Cytrix Netscaler (= loadbalancer with various optimizations) W2K8 + IIS7 and antivirus software on the webservers 650GB/day ISS log files 8-9GBit/s (unknown if CDN's are included) Simple network filtering: stateless access lists blocking unwanted ports on the routers/switches (hence the debated "no firewalls" claim). Note that this information may not reflect present reality very well; the spokesman appears to be reciting others words.

Introduction: Guys, At one of my jobs I have to administer a CISCO ACE (application control engine) hardware load-balancer. I don't particularly love this beast, but it's very very powerful. There appears to be little real-world info out there, so it could be interesting writing an article on that. But I don't have other HW LB's to compare it to and I don't want to rehash the product page. What would interest you in a 'product review' of a loadbalancer? No replies means it's not an interesting topic, so no article then ;-)

Introduction: Mobile developers have a huge scaling problem ahead: doing something useful with massive continuous streams of telemetry data from millions and millions of devices. This is a really good problem to have. It means smartphone sales are finally fulfilling their destiny: slaughtering PCs in the sales arena. And it also means mobile devices aren't just containers for simple standalone apps anymore, they are becoming the dominant interface to giant backend systems. While developers are now rocking mobile development on the client side, their next challenge is how to code those tricky backend bits. A company facing those same exact problems right now is Medialets , a mobile rich media ad platform. What they do is help publishers create high quality interactive ads, though for our purposes their ad stuff isn't that interesting. What I did find really interesting about their system is how they are tackling the problem of defeating the mobile device data deluge. Each day Medialets munc

Introduction: This is a guest post by Gordon Worley , a Software Engineer at Korrelate , where they correlate (see what they did there) online purchases to offline purchases. Several weeks ago, we came into the office one morning to find every server alarm going off. Pixel log processing was behind by 8 hours and not making headway. Checking the logs, we discovered that a big client had come online during the night and was giving us 10 times more traffic than we were originally told to expect. I wouldn’t say we panicked, but the office was certainly more jittery than usual. Over the next several hours, though, thanks both to foresight and quick thinking, we were able to scale up to handle the added load and clear the backlog to return log processing to a steady state. At Korrelate, we deploy tracking pixels , also known beacons or web bugs, that our partners use to send us information about their users. These tiny web objects contain no visible content, but may include transparent 1 by 1 gif
4 0.53992128 1560 high scalability-2013-12-09-In Memory: Grace Hopper to Programmers: Mind Your Nanoseconds!
Introduction: This is an article published last year, but as today is Grace Hopper's birthday I thought it would be a good time to share again an amazing talk from this amazing woman. Computing pioneer Grace Hopper , inventor of the compiler , searched for a concrete way to create an intuitive understanding of just how fast is a nanosecond, a billionth of a second, which was the speed of their new computer circuits. As an illustration she settled on the length of wire that is as long as light can travel in one nanosecond. The length is a very portable 11.8 inches . A microseconds worth of wire is a still portable, but a much bulkier 984 feet. In one millisecond light travels 186 miles, which only Hercules could carry. In today's terms, at a 3.06 GHz clock speed , there's .33 nanoseconds between ticks, or 3.73 inches of light travel. Understanding the profligate ways of programmers, she suggests that every programmer wear a necklace of a microseconds worth of wire so they know what they are

Introduction: From their website: FAI is an automated installation tool to install or deploy Debian GNU/Linux and other distributions on a bunch of different hosts or a Cluster. It's more flexible than other tools like kickstart for Red Hat, autoyast and alice for SuSE or Jumpstart for SUN Solaris. FAI can also be used for configuration management of a running system. You can take one or more virgin PCs, turn on the power and after a few minutes Linux is installed, configured and running on all your machines, without any interaction necessary. FAI it's a scalable method for installing and updating all your computers unattended with little effort involved. It's a centralized management system for your Linux deployment. FAI's target group are system administrators who have to install Linux onto one or even hundreds of computers. It's not only a tool for doing a Cluster installation but a general purpose installation tool. It can be used for installing a Beowulf cluster, a rendering farm,

4 0.6607157 1243 high scalability-2012-05-10-Paper: Paxos Made Moderately Complex
Introduction: If you are a normal human being and find the Paxos protocol confusing, then this paper, Paxos Made Moderately Complex , is a great find. Robbert van Renesse from Cornell University has written a clear and well written paper with excellent explanations. The Abstract: For anybody who has ever tried to implement it, Paxos is by no means a simple protocol, even though it is based on relatively simple invariants. This paper provides imperative pseudo-code for the full Paxos (or Multi-Paxos) protocol without shying away from discussing various implementation details. The initial description avoids optimizations that complicate comprehension. Next we discuss liveness, and list various optimizations that make the protocol practical.

Introduction: Pud of f*ckedcomany.com (FC) fame, a favorite site of the dot bomb era, and a site I absolutely loved until my company became featured, has given us a look at his backend: Why Must You Laugh At My Back End . For those whose don't remember FC's history, TechCrunch published a fitting eulogy : [FC] first went live in 2000, chronicling failing and troubled companies in its unique and abrasive style after the dot com bust. Within a year it had a massive audience and was getting serious mainstream press attention. As the startup economy became better in 2004, much of the attention the site received went away. But a large and loyal audience remains at the site, coming back day after day for its unique slant on the news. At its peak, FC had 4 million unique monthly visitors. Delightfully, FC was not a real-names kind of site. Hard witty cynicism ruled and not a single cat picture was in sight. It was a blast of fun when all around was the enclosing dark. So when I saw Pud's post
