NFS not enterprise?? Better tell NetApp that..

NFS is great for VM templates, low/medium IO guests. Easy to manage, configure and backup than VMFS volumes.
We still place our tier 1 apps on the FC 15K disked SAN though but even that will change in the future due 10G Ethernet, ISCSI, SAS and flash cache.

Running 20 x IBM X3850(M2,M3,X)5s, 10GB CNA, Cisco Nexus, Cisco FC, IBM V7000 'Storwize', Sun 7210 NAS, StorageTek/Sun/Oracle & IBM SAN

Right tool for the right job.

Nokia Trades Symbian For MeeGo In N-Series Smartphones 184

Posted by timothy from the unfortunate-name dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Nokia announced that moving forward, MeeGo would be the default operating system in the N series of smartphones (original Reuters report). Symbian will still be used in low-end devices from Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. The move to MeeGo is a demonstration of support for the open source mobile OS, but considering the handset user experience hasn't been rolled out and likely won't be rolled out in time for its vague June deadline outlined at MeeGo.com, could the decision be premature?"

Balancing Performance and Convention 171

Posted by Soulskill from the delaying-the-problem dept.
markmcb writes "My development team was recently brainstorming over finding a practical solution to the problem that's haunted anyone who's ever used a framework: convention vs. customization. We specifically use Rails, and like most frameworks, it's great for 95% of our situations, but it's creating big bottlenecks for the other 5%. Our biggest worry isn't necessarily that we don't know how to customize, but rather that we won't have the resources to maintain customized code going forward; it's quite simple to update Rails as it matures versus the alternative. What have your experiences been with this problem? Have you found any best practices to avoid digging custom holes you can't climb out of?"
