Introduction: Ivan Pepelnjak, in his short and information packed REDUNDANT DATA CENTER INTERNET CONNECTIVIT Y video, shows why networking as played at the highest levels is something you want to leave to professionals, like a large animal country vetenarian delivering a stuck foal at 2AM on a dark and stormy night. There are always a lot questions about the black art of building redundant datacenter networks and there's a shortage of accessible explanations. What I liked about Ivan's video is how effortlessly he explains the issues and tradeoffs you can expect in designing your own solution, as well as giving creative solutions to those problems. A lot of years of experience are boiled down to a 17 minute video. Ivan begins by showing what a canonical fully redundant datacenter would look like: It's like an ark where everything goes two by two. You have two datacenters, each datacenter has redundant core switches, redundant servers, redundant disk arrays, redundant links between d

Introduction: Update: Streamy Explains CAP and HBase's Approach to CAP . We plan to employ inter-cluster replication, with each cluster located in a single DC. Remote replication will introduce some eventual consistency into the system, but each cluster will continue to be strongly consistent. Ryan Barrett, Google App Engine datastore lead, gave this talk Transactions Across Datacenters (and Other Weekend Projects) at the Google I/O 2009 conference. While the talk doesn't necessarily break new technical ground, Ryan does an excellent job explaining and evaluating the different options you have when architecting a system to work across multiple datacenters. This is called multihoming , operating from multiple datacenters simultaneously. As multihoming is one of the most challenging tasks in all computing, Ryan's clear and thoughtful style comfortably leads you through the various options. On the trip you learn: The different multi-homing options are: Backups, Master-Slave, Multi-M

Introduction: It remains that, from the same principles, I now demonstrate the frame of the System of the World. -- Isaac Newton The practice of IT reminds me a lot of the practice of science before Isaac Newton. Aristotelianism was dead, but there was nothing to replace it. Then Newton came along, created a scientific revolution with his System of the World . And everything changed. That was New System of the World number one. New System of the World number two was written about by the incomparable Neal Stephenson in his incredible Baroque Cycle series. It explores the singular creation of a new way of organizing society grounded in new modes of thought in business, religion, politics, and science. Our modern world emerged Enlightened as it could from this roiling cauldron of forces. In IT we may have had a Leonardo da Vinci or even a Galileo, but we’ve never had our Newton. Maybe we don't need a towering genius to make everything clear? For years startups, like the frenetically inventive

Introduction: Google has released an epic second edition of their ground breaking The Datacenter as a Computer book. It's called an introduction, but at 156 pages I would love to see what the Advanced version would look like! John Fries in a G+ comment has what I think is a perfect summary of the ultimate sense of the book: It's funny, when I was at Google I was initially quite intimidated by interacting with an enormous datacenter, and then I started imagining the entire datacenter was shrunk down into a small box sitting on my desk, and realized it was just another machine and the physical size didn't matter anymore It's such a far ranging book that it's impossible to characterize simply. It covers an amazing diversity of topics, from an introduction to warehouse-scale computing; workloads and software infrastructure; hardware; datacenter architecture; energy and power efficiency; cost structures; how to deal with failures and repairs; and it closes with a discussion of key challenge
Introduction: For years a war has been fought in the software architecture trenches between the ideal of decentralized services and the power and practicality of centralized services. Centralized architectures, at least at the management and control plane level, are winning. And Google not only agrees, they are enthusiastic adopters of this model, even in places you don't think it should work. Here's an excerpt from Google Lifts Veil On “Andromeda” Virtual Networking , an excellent article by Timothy Morgan, that includes a money quote from Amin Vahdat , distinguished engineer and technical lead for networking at Google: Like many of the massive services that Google has created, the Andromeda network has centralized control. By the way, so did the Google File System and the MapReduce scheduler that gave rise to Hadoop when it was mimicked, so did the BigTable NoSQL data store that has spawned a number of quasi-clones, and even the B4 WAN and the Spanner distributed file system that have yet
Introduction: If you were going to design a next generation Internet at the physical layer that routes around the current Internet, what would it look like? What should it do? How should it work? Who should own it? How should it be paid for? How would you access it? It has long been said the Internet routes around obstacles. Snowden has revealed some major obstacles. The beauty of the current current app and web system is the physical network doesn't matter. We can just replace it with something else. Something that doesn't flow through choke points like backhaul networks , under sea cables , and cell towers . What might that something else look like? Google's Loon Project Project Loon was so named because the idea was thought to be loony. Maybe not. The idea is to float high-altitude balloons 20 miles in the air to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds. Signals travel through the balloon network from balloon to balloon, then to a ground-based station conne
5 0.73660362 387 high scalability-2008-09-22-Paper: On Delivering Embarrassingly Distributed Cloud Services
Introduction: How do we scale datacenters? Should we build a few mammoth million machine datacenters or many smaller micro datacenters? Intuitively we usually go with a bigger is better economies of scale type argument, but it may not be so. What works for Walmart may not work for White Box World. Mega datacenters may actually exhibit diseconomies of scale. It may be better to run applications over many distributed micro datacenters instead of one large one. This paper by Ken Church, Albert Greenberg, and James Hamilton, all from Microsoft, takes a look at the different issues and concludes: Putting it all together, the micro model offers a design point with attractive performance, reliability, scale and cost. Given how much the industry is currently investing in the mega model, the industry would do well to consider the micro alternative.

Introduction: Today, most banks have migrated their internal software development from C/C++ to the Java language because of well-known advantages in development productivity (Java Platform), robustness & reliability (Garbage Collector) and platform independence (Java Bytecode). They may even have gotten better throughput performance through the use of standard architectures and application servers (Java Enterprise Edition). Among the few banking applications that have not been able to benefit yet from the Java revolution, you find the latency-critical applications connected to the trading floor. Why? Because of the unpredictable pauses introduced by the garbage collector which result in significant jitter (variance of execution time). In this post Frederic Pariente Engineering Manager at Sun Microsystems posted a summary of a case study on how the use of Sun Real Time JVM and GigaSpaces was used in the context of of a customer proof-of-concept this summer to ensure guaranteed latency per m
