VMs: Imperfect answers to imperfect problems, but they're all we have

What a thoroughly enjoying read

I can't remember the last time that someone actually went through and posed very difficult questions like this. All too often we skirt around these issues and talk about security and networking technologies as products which everyone must have because there is no other way around it.

Very thought provoking, thank you Trevor.

HPE: Cloud Server WILL survive... we just need someone else to buy 'em

I can think of at least one reason

Interestingly I think I might be able to add something around this. I was looking at Tech Field Day on YouTube and found an interesting article around the Open19 Project. Apparently LinkedIn have been using something similar for some time now and now that Microsoft have acquired them I would assume they would go down this path rather than buying into something completely white box. That and the fact that things like OCP and Microsoft's own node designs have been in research for some time now I don't know why you would go ahead and buy something standard from a major vendor.

Check it out:

Anyone agreed?
