Cisco competitors downplay new blade server

by admin on Mar.16, 2009, under News

As Cisco entered the blade server market with its hotly anticipated Unified Computing System Monday, competitors lined up to dismiss the new technology, saying it raises the problem of vendor lock-in and is too limited in scope to address broad customer needs.

Cisco introduced a blade server that is based on future Intel Nehalem processors and includes memory improvements to support applications with large data sets and allow the creation of many more virtual machines on each server. Partners such as EMC, VMware, Savvis, BMC and Microsoft joined Cisco in calling the UCS a major step forward in the data center. But Cisco’s competitors offered several pieces of criticism.

A Dell executive calls Cisco’s blade server a "one-size-fits-all" product that doesn’t take into account the varied needs of customers.

"I think [Cisco is presenting] a very niche-focused approach," says Rick Becker, Dell’s vice president of software and solutions. "We believe it can’t just be a single blade appliance. You need a whole portfolio. You need to deploy blades where appropriate. You need to deploy rack servers when appropriate." (Compare server products.)

Cisco’s new product seems to be "a blade appliance for large application data sets," Becker continues. "That’s just a very small segment of the data center."

Blades are ideal for applications that span beyond 15 servers, but are wasteful for applications that only require three servers, because blades share resources like power and fans, Becker says.

Becker promises exciting news from Dell for both rack and blade servers when Intel releases its new Nehalem chips, but could not reveal details due to embargoes. While he acknowledges Cisco is now a competitor in the blade server market, he professes not to be worried. He also notes that Dell still partners with Cisco to deliver networking technology to Dell blade servers.

"I compete with HP, I compete with IBM, and I compete with Sun," Becker says. "And I am perfectly able, willing and ready to compete with Cisco in the server space."

Cisco stresses that its new technology is more than just a blade server, encompassing networking, storage and management features to create an architecture that lets data centers be managed as a unified environment.

Cisco rival Brocade recognizes its competitor’s attempt to create a "dynamic and virtualized data center" that will improve efficiency of power and operations, but accuses Cisco of locking customers in to just one vendor.

"Achieving this goal is a complex challenge that can be best tackled by a broad ecosystem of industry partners and not based on a proprietary, singular architecture of one company," Brocade said in a written statement. "In contrast, Brocade is already helping customers address these challenges by integrating our networking solutions with a range of mature computing, management and storage technologies from some of the strongest companies in the world. These partnerships are leveraging open interfaces/standards, co-developed technology, and products that are available today, which will lower costs and maximize return on investment for customers."

At Cisco’s press conference Monday morning, the company surrounded itself with partners who were naturally more optimistic than Cisco’s direct competitors. VMware CEO Paul Maritz said Cisco USC is a "cloud-grade" product that will accelerate the trend toward large-scale virtualization, and said it is incumbent upon the rest of the industry to partner with Cisco because "the whole stack has to work with them." Maritz also said there should no longer be any technical reasons to avoid virtualizing any workload, no matter how demanding it is.

TOP 10 SPAMMERS

by admin on Mar.15, 2009, under News

Most of the world suffers from the spam problem. However, some countries do little to deter spammers from operating within their borders. These countries become safe havens for the spam operations that plague everyone else, including their own nationals.

Countries with the highest number of spammers operating within their networks are usually those with poor or non-existent spam laws.

The world’s worst Spam Haven countries today are:

  1. United States
  2. China
  3. Russian Federation
  4. United Kingdom
  5. South Korea
  6. India
  7. Japan
  8. Brazil
  9. Germany
  10. France

Spam continues to plague the Internet because a small number of large Internet Service Providers sell service knowingly to professional spammers for profit, or do nothing to prevent spammers operating from their networks.

Although all networks claim to be anti-spam, some network executives factor revenue made from hosting known spam gangs into corporate policy decisions to continue to sell services to spam operations. Others simply decide that closing the holes in their end-user broadband systems that allow spammers access would be too costly to their bottom lines.

The majority of the world’s service providers succeed in keeping spammers off their networks and work to maintain a positive anti-spam reputation, but their work is undermined daily by the few networks who, out of corporate greed or mismanagement, choose to be part of the problem. The world’s worst spam problem networks today are:

  1. hostfresh.com
  2. vsnlinternational.com
  3. covad.com
  4. cnuninet.com
  5. relianceglobalcom.com
  6. yahoo.com
  7. gilat.net
  8. tbroad.com
  9. uatelecom.co.ua
  10. tiscali.it

(taken from http://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/networks.lasso at 14 March 2009)

Up to 80% of spam targetted at Internet users in North America and Europe is generated by a hard-core group of around 200 known professional spam gangs whose names, aliases and operations are documented in Spamhaus’ Register Of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) database.

This TOP 10 chart of ROKSO-listed spammers is based on those Spamhaus views as the highest threat, the worst of the career spammers causing the most damage on the Internet currently. Spamhaus flags these as a priority for Law Enforcement Agencies.

The world’s worst spammers and spam gangs this week are:

  1. Canadian Pharmacy
    A long time running pharmacy spam operation. Uses botnet spam techniques to send tens-of-millions of spams per day. Probably uses many affiliates all over the world to spam but is probably based in Eastern Europe and hosts sites on botnets and on Chines
  2. Leo Kuvayev / BadCow
    Russian/American spammer. Does “OEM CD” pirated software spam, copy-cat pharmaceuticals, porn spam, porn payment collection, etc. Spams using virus-created botnets and seems to be involved in virus distribution. Partnered with Vlad – aka “Mr. Green”
  3. HerbalKing
    Massive affilitiate spam program for snakeoil Body Part Enhancement scams. Also does replica luxury goods, pharma and porn. Spams via botnets, bulletproof hosting offshore and even sometimes uses fast flux hosting.

Reseller Web Hosting – Opt For a Cheaper Yet Quality Program

by admin on Mar.10, 2009, under News

Reseller hosting is a kind of web hosting in which the account owner has the ability to use the bandwidth and drive space to host the websites on behalf of some third party. Reseller website hosting is also a better option than other hosting types as it is capable enough to establish good relationship with the customers.

Cheap reseller hosting can surely help one to rapidly develop one’s business by offering one with the ability to advertise on the net. Reseller web hosting plan also rings up the sales with the help of ecommerce transactions. Also, with developing power as well as constant evolution of the World Wide Web, one would be surprised with high returns one would gain at this type of investment.

There are many techniques which can help one make the hosting business a successful one. One of such techniques is to get the affordable reseller hosting plan that can be a reasonable move to advertise someone’s hosting business. A cheap reseller web hosting is thus the web hosting plan wherein the account of the web host comes under the shared hosting program. The web host thus apportions disk space as well as bandwidth to resell the web hosting.

Benefits offered by reseller hosting

Moreover, while keeping the prices on the low front, cheap reseller hosting may help one host as many sites as one wishes to at the same moment. Some of the sites may have respective technical customer support as well as the dedicated servers. In short, everything can be tailor made to suit one’s needs.

Almost every Internet marketing expert nowadays tell that to compete and be successful in the business world, one needs to set up one’s own ecommerce ability to the existing marketing and sales efforts. But unfortunately, what these business people are not aware of is the fact that need not be too costly. These days, there are several hosting providers that can offer quality and cheap reseller hosting plans.

Why to choose reseller web hosting?

An important point that makes this reseller web hosting a bit more beneficial than the other kinds of hosting is the fact that it leaves one with more time for the business marketing operations. It is mainly because in reseller hosting, the web hosts are speared from other duties and responsibilities that come with web hosting like maintaining data center and managing several servers.

So while shopping for the reseller web hosting plan that best suits your budget and requirements, ensure that the web host you choose can provide the services that they actually promise to offer. The requirement to make a strong and ever lasting relationship with the reseller can not be over emphasized as it will complement every marketing effort you put in in the long run. Wait no more and grab the chance to use quality but cheap reseller hosting services from an authentic web host.

Here Come New Virtualization Tools

by admin on Mar.02, 2009, under News

Enterprises that are virtualizing their environments can include their virtual machines in disaster recovery and backup plans.

Companies are moving to virtualization to cut costs. But many do not manage or back up their virtual machines because they don’t have the tools or don’t know which tools to use.

Some virtualization vendors want to change that.

Take some of the recent offerings by the big boys in virtualization – VMware (NYSE: VMW), Citrix (NASDAQ: CTXS), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Red Hat (NYSE: RHT). Each announced virtual environment management capabilities, although these will not be available until later this year at best.

No wonder vendors are moving with product plans — analyst firm Gartner predicts that worldwide server virtualization management software revenues will climb 42 percent, from $913.9 million in 2008 to $1.3 billion in 2009.

“Server virtualization management will be the primary source of growth in the virtualization market as hyper visor software functionality -– key to virtualizing a server -– rapidly moves to hardware,” Alan Dayley, research director at Gartner, said in a statement.

Citrix, Microsoft and Red Hat are trying to challenge VMware in management capabilities, which VMware is banking on as its next area of growth. But Andi Mann, research director at Enterprise Management Associates, thinks VMware will remain king of the hill in virtualized systems management, at least in the near future.

“Many of the management capabilities Microsoft and Citrix announced are just catching up to VMware’s advanced add-on features,” Mann told InternetNews.com by e-mail. And Red Hat is not even in the picture, as far as Mann is concerned.

“Red Hat’s KVM is way back in the pack in terms of even the most basic features and manageability,” he said. “Red Hat is trying to get into the virtualization fight, but it is leading with a glass chin, and is just going to get a bloody nose for its trouble.”

VMware unveiled VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat, which uses technology licensed from its partner, Neverfail, at VMworld Europe 2009 in Paris. Heartbeat will monitor and manage the automatic failover of VMware’s vCenter Server, which centrally manages, controls and automates both physical and virtual systems.

“With a combination of VMware and Neverfail or another third party high availability tool your whole physical and virtual data center is covered,” Mann said. Solutions for automated recovery and disaster recovery of virtualized systems make businesses more competitive and profitable because they speed up recovery from crashes and system failures, he added.

Taking VMware head on

Meanwhile, Citrix has unveiled Citrix Essentials, which offers dynamic virtualization management tools for both its own XenCenter and Microsoft’s Hyper-V, and Red Hat has announced its own set of virtualization management tools for the desktop and server.

Citrix’s stance is particularly strong, as, earlier this month, it entered a partnership with VMLogix under which it will integrate VMLogix LabManager and StageManager into its products, bring application lifecycle management capabilities to XenServer. These capabilities span different virtualization platforms, giving Citrix more oomph, as the other major vendors have platform-specific products.

Large tool vendors such as Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), IBM (NYSE: IBM) and CA (NASDAQ: CA) have extended their tools to manage the physical IT infrastructure to virtual environments, but many experts say these are not quite up to scratch because virtual systems need to be managed differently from physical ones. And smaller players like ManageIQ, Avocent (NASDAQ: AVCT) and Apani are – well – smaller vendors, so their impact on the enterprise market, which tends to be wary of small players, is limited, experts say.

On the other hand, all the major virtualization players focus mainly on their own environments, so that will hamper their growth. “The average environment has multiple hypervisors, and will retain a mixed physical-virtual deployment through 2010 at least,” Mann said.

“Solutions that manage multiple hypervisors, and both physical and virtual systems, are going to be the winners in the long run.”
