Submission + - F5 Fires Back (f5.com)

Submitted by Random Feature
Random Feature writes: In response to Build an Open Source SSL Accelerator, in which o3 magazine detailed how to build a solution comparable to an F5 BIG-IP 6900 on the cheap, F5 Fires Back claiming it's not as cheap as it appears and pointing out the potential performance implications of a "cobbled together set of components designed to mimic similar functionality." The discussion on the performance of the Open Source solution based on Opteron RSA operation processing capabilities brings into question the validity of the "more SSL TPS for cheaper" argument presented by o3.

Submission + - Who owns application delivery meta-data in the clo (f5.com)

Submitted by Random Feature
Random Feature writes: The Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum (CCIF) is currently discussing cloud portability specifications. It seems crazy to define a standard before we even know who owns what in the cloud because you can only port what you own. For example, if you created a security or acceleration policy for your cloud computing-based app, is the policy yours or the provider's? Who owns meta-data in the cloud?? True portability between clouds seems impossible depending on the answer.
