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 ;-)

2 0.13258919 186 high scalability-2007-12-13-un-article: the setup behind microsoft.com
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: A recent InfoWorld article claims that "With Cisco expected to enter the blade market and Sun expected to offer networking equipment, things could get interesting awfully fast." How does this effect your infrastructure strategy and decisions? Would you consider to build scalable web applications on the Cisco Unified Computing System? Or would you consider to build a router out of a server with the use of OpenSolaris and Project Crossbow as the article suggests? Will any of these initiatives change the way we build scalable web infrastructure or are these just attempts to sale these systems? What do you think?

Introduction: G'day, I noticed the default sort order for the forum is to show the posts with the most replies first. That seems a bit odd for a forum. Would it not make sense to show the posts with the most recently replies first? It is possible to re-sort the forum threads that way by clicking on the "Last post" header (twice). It would seem like a more sensible default. I've checked and I see the same behaviour as both a registered (logged in) and anonymous user. Cheers - Callum .

Introduction: The introduction of cloud technologies is not a simple evolution of existing ones, but a real revolution. Like all revolutions, it changes the points of views and redefines all the meanings. Nothing is as before. This post wants to analyze some key words and concepts, usually used in traditional architectures, redefining them according the standpoint of the cloud. Understanding the meaning of new words is crucial to grasp the essence of a pure cloud architecture. << There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words. >> THOMAS REID, Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man Nowadays, it is required to challenge the limits of traditional architectures that go beyond the normal concepts of scalability and support millions of users (What's Up 500 Million) billions of transactions per day (Salesforce 1.3 billion), five 9s of availability (99.999 AOL). I wish all of you the success of the examples cited above, but do not think that it is co

4 0.4839952 228 high scalability-2008-01-28-Product: ISPMan Centralized ISP Management System
Introduction: From FRESH Ports and their website: ISPman is an ISP management software written in perl, using an LDAP backend to manage virtual hosts for an ISP. It can be used to manage, DNS, virtual hosts for apache config, postfix configuration, cyrus mail boxes, proftpd etc. ISPMan was written as a management tool for the network at 4unet where between 30 to 50 domains are hosted and the number is crazily growing. Managing these domains and their users was a little time consuming, and needed an Administrator who knows linux and these daemons fluently. Now the help-desk can easily manage the domains and users. LDAP data can be easily replicated site wide, and mail box server can be scaled from 1 to n as required. An LDAP entry called maildrop tells the SMTP server (postfix) where to deliver the mail. The SMTP servers can be loadbalanced with one of many load balancing techniques. The program is written with scalability and High availability in mind. This may not be the right s
