Jonathan about Opensolaris and Networking
Friday, March 13. 2009
Do you remember my article about routing fish. Looks like jonathan has read my blog article about it as he talked about the opportunities of general purpose servers in the networking business in "Sun's Network Innovations (3 of 4)" 
. No .. no ... iīm not that foolhardy to think that this was really this way. But nice to see, that some people at the high end of Sun already thinking about the concept of Solaris based networking equipment, as itīs pretty obvious to go this way. As i wrote a long time ago about ZFS and the possibility of a filer: When we wonīt do it, someone else will do it. Itīs the same with networking.

those three vids are actually really well done. what a soft-spoken guy - very thought provoking indeed.
I also like how he switches from geek-attire to suit when the money gets involved.
what I miss is a fourth circle in the graphic schwartz used in the last vid: the office.
the office is not just a domain that can be mapped into the cloud or datacenter. it is its own sphere where users and consumers interact with the network, with storage with the datacenter.
opensolaris has a great desktop, there is openoffice, there is java and javafx. but where is the vision to integrate all that?!
judging by the glassfish interface sun even has some great gui designers nowadays. I'd like to that applied to the office.
sun has all the pieces at hand to build a desktop that is both free and offers a superior standard with regards to data-security and data-validity.
put the multimedia-codecs in there that ppl want, get the usability right and make it pretty.
there are a whole lot of ppl both in public and private institutions that are eagerly waiting for something like that crossing their path with good support offerings.
ppl are sick of the lock-in with microsoft, their pricing politics and their upgrade-despotism. the current crisis offers the chance to break into that space.
wow - now that I have written this I really think I should post it in jonathans blog too. it's just one of my pet-peeves as I have to deal with large ms installations all the time...
