As data center temperatures continue to rise, customers can chill knowing that their energy bill will not be increasing. I’m excited to share that Dell is enabling customers to operate data center facilities at higher temperatures (think 113°F) without driving up the cost of cooling . Dell’s servers, storage and networking equipment were recently tested, validated and warrantied by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to operate reliably...

A little over a year ago, Trixter , a high-end, fitness-equipment manufacturer, was just getting their sea legs under them bringing their XDream Training Bike to cyclists worldwide. The cycling gurus at Trixter wanted to add to their product line, which already boasted the popular X-Bike by “upping the ante” from a technology perspective. By bringing gaming elements to the XDream shown on a built-in monitor mounted to the front of the bike, “riders” could choose different...

I saw a great talk today here at OSCON Data up in Portland, Oregon. The talk was Practical Data Storage: MongoDB @ foursquare and was given by foursquare ‘s head of server engineering, Harry Heymann . The talk was particularly impressive since, due to AV issues, Harry had to wing it and go slideless. (He did post his slides to twitter so folks with access could follow along). After the talk I grabbed a few minutes with Harry and did the following interview: Some of the ground Harry...

It was Henry Ford who once answered a question about what colors the Model-T was offered in by stating that customers could get one in any color they wanted, as long as it was black. For nearly a decade Dell OEM Solutions has offered several server platforms to our customers in just the same way. The choice for an un-branded bezel on our OEM Ready platforms was any color they wanted, as long as it was Dell gray. We have always offered full customization where any color could be used, but those projects...

About a month ago I was asked to participate in a discussion with my good friend and co-worker, Josh Neland (@joshneland) , about different methods for building redundant or high up-time computing applications. My understanding was that Josh would discuss redundancies in general and I would cover enterprise class hardware redundancies, which makes sense given our fields of expertise. What I didn’t expect was the great differences in what I said versus what Josh said. To Josh, who has a storied...

The first half of the day, VMware employees presented on all sorts of topics. My favorite presentations were VMware fundamentals: back to the basics and vStorage: Best practices.

It may sound counter-intuitive, but enterprises need to spend money on compliance in order to save money. The costs associated with potential settlement fees, fines, remediation, business interruption and business that is lost altogether have to be balanced against the perceived benefits of two unnerving approaches: “do nothing” or “do the bare minimum.” A February 2010 Open Pages report on non-compliance costs showed that compliance failures could leave enterprises paying...

Here is the final entry in my interview series from the Hadoop Summit . The night before the summit, I was impressed when I heard Ken Krugler speak at the BigDataCamp unconference. Turns out Ken has been a part of the Hadoop scene even before there was a Hadoop, his 2005 start-up Krugle utilized Nutch which split and evolved into Hadoop. He now runs a Hadoop consulting practice, Bixo labs , and offers training. I ran into Ken the next day at the summit and sat down with him to get his thoughts...
