I think the main job of a CEO is to provide the vision. Jobs, with all his flaws had the vision that Apple needed. I think that is what they lack now as they drift on momentum only.

I agree. Without vision, a company will just linger and not move of to the next big thing.

Submission + - Open Source Highly Available Storage Solutions?

Submitted by Gunfighter on Tuesday March 27, 2007 @03:46PM

Gunfighter writes: I run a small datacenter for one of my customers, but they're constantly filling up different hard drives on different servers and then shuffling the data back and forth. At their current level of business, they can't afford to invest in a Storage Area Network of any sort, so they want to spread the load of their data storage needs across their existing servers like Google does. The only software packages I've found that do this seamlessly are Lustre and NFS. The problem with Lustre is that it has a single metadata server unless you configure failover, and NFS isn't redundant at all and can be a nightmare to manage. The only thing I've found that even comes close is Starfish. While it looks promising, I'm wondering if anyone else has found a reliable solution that is as easy to set up and manage? Eventually, they would like to be able to scale from their current storage usage levels (~2TB) to several hundred terabytes once the operation goes into full production.

Mistyped that. But I'm sure the runways at the airports aren't nearly as straight and level as the NASA one. The NASA one is also designed to be able to handle large amounts of rainfall and the runoff.
