Why Servers Rock!

You mean you need to convince people ???

Some may see it as: Why servers rock ?

Others may see it as: Why, servers rock! ;)

As you may notice he just talks about the processing power. Which is the major selling point but there is so much more. I came to a conclusion, well it is a fact of life that is applicable almost anywhere, the more money you have the more awesome servers you gets to see :P

Servers with multiple sockets for processors, hot swapping, fiber connections, RAM GOD-power, separate physical servers merged as one, my favourite, blades with their management and so much more.

You know what makes them more beautiful, virtualisation … enough said :D

Yeah not an ideal thing in a data centre. But imagine rocking it out and managing your IT infrastructure in soothing style :P

Simple Thoughts

In the security lecture the instructor was talking about Kerberos security protocol. The name he explained came from the three headed dog, Cerberus, that guards the gates of Hades or the under world in the Greek mythology.

He was surprised why the under world needed to be guarded, who in their right mind would enter! He argued.

Simple, the three headed dog is not there to prevent people from entering as much as preventing people from leaving! That to me is a simpler explanation :P
