This isn't technically security related...yet! It is just interesting how fast things keep changing. I am still getting used to a 20mbps connection on copper, and here comes a 6.4 Tbps on fiber optics. Still in development and testing, but, fascinating anyway. On a tangent, I read a couple months ago that Intel has prototyped a cpu, cooled with liquid helium, that clocks at over 100Ghz. Exciting times we are living in!

This article is the first time that I have seen a definition of cloud computing that I understood.
ReplyDelete"As we move further into the paradigm of cloud computing, where computing power and storage will gradually move to the center of the network, it becomes necessary that the network be fast enough to meet the needs of this new, highly distributed model. The aspiration of "the network being the computer" can only become real if the network is as fast as the computer, if not faster. "
The network as computer will redefine the jobs of application developer, DBA, tech and network admin into positions that will require knowledge in each area.
