- Harabeck, on 02/12/2009, -0/+10You don't know much about computers and computing in the scientific and corporate worlds do you?
- fr0ng, on 02/12/2009, -0/+9Everyone uses IBM products and services in the business world. But you wouldn't know much about that, now would you..
- Azsen, on 02/12/2009, -0/+8@HeyEveryone2
Clearly you don't know _anything_ about computers as evidenced by "primary harddrive", "maincore brain-RAM" and "Linus".
IBM don't even make PCs anymore, but they do sell servers & mainframes which are completely different markets. I could go on, but you're a waste of time. - DiscoUnderpants, on 02/12/2009, -0/+7I gotta say I have to kind of agree with Harabeck. The places I have worked in the last ten years(contractor in London) have Websphere, Notes, IBM SOA projects(they keep changing the names of these things... but like tibco). Not sure what you are getting at... but IBM global services is all over the place and they, of course, push IBM products.
Not trying to be condesending... I have degrees in Engineering and Computer Science and have over 15 years experience in multiple industries. Your exposer to these products can depend on the industry and even country you live(Back at home in Australia its much more a MS world) - jonnyyoung, on 02/12/2009, -0/+7Hmm so you've done some academic work but nothing in the real world? Which would explain why you don't know that IBM is the largest IT company in the world with 380,00+ employees and in excess of $100 billion dollars in revenue in '08. So no-one buys IBM huh? Don't think so..
- JanK1, on 02/12/2009, -0/+7I highly doubt HeyEveryone2 is going for a Masters in CS. Either that or he's highly retarded. He says ***** like, "uses IBM as their primary harddrive," and doesn't know ***** outside of Apple and Microsoft.
All I have is a CCNA and 3 yrs IT experience, and I can tell you the backbone internet servers don't run on ***** Windows Server 2003. - Harabeck, on 02/12/2009, -0/+5It's sad that an undergrad like me knows more than you HeyEveryone2. IBM is used extensively by large corporations and scientific institutions for their needs. No, they are no longer active in the home PC market, but the article should make it clear they are very active in other areas. They also built the fastest super computer in the world, and are currently building one 20 times faster, which would put it at about 20 petaflops. I highly suggest you look into the world beyond your current academic institution, or you may find that education to be less helpful than you imagined.
- jcmia1, on 02/12/2009, -0/+5would you fly in air traffic not managed by IBM hardware and software?
- piznut, on 02/12/2009, -0/+3***** the grocery store, I use my pinto to drive there and I keep breaking down.
- Nodaki, on 02/12/2009, -0/+3Most of our server infrastructure is HP-Proliant, although we do have a few IBM BladeCenters as well. Our SAN enviornment...all IBM. Tape Backup 3584 3494 IBM. Our mainframe IBM of course (don't even know of alternatives). AS400-IBM.
It sounds like HeyEveryone2 needs an internship program. - hojibuji, on 02/12/2009, -1/+3HeyEveryone2 is clearly a troll.... or an idiot. In either case, he doesn't have a bachelor's CS degree or a Masters (and on the off chance I'm wrong, god help whatever institution he's at)
- dark1587, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1You're probably running an older version of the IVE OS. Try running 6.1 or 6.2 release to get Vista to play nicely.
And if you think Juniper is bad try using some of the true Citrix offerings, or any other vendor's SSL VPN Device. You'll be back to Juniper in no time. - piznut, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Im all for cloud computing initiatives that dont try to make me learn Python...Google Im looking at you.
- oboshoe, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Interesting that IBM teamed up with Juniper, rather than Cisco.
- kansoki, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Anyone read Rainbows End? I think this technology is gonna be awesome once it is mature.
- Robbie82sc, on 02/12/2009, -1/+2Now we wait for the controlled Bandwidth and the have to pay to use your PC days.. lol..
- joe2100, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1$
- browbeaten, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1this guy must have a lot of degrees...
http://digg.com/world_news/Meet_the_two_kids_who_w ... - Nodaki, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1We dropped Cisco in favor of Extreme. I am not a Network Engineer and I am not sure of their reasoning but I imagine there was a case for it.
- doogieboo, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Juniper has a large market share in the carrier class market and runs the backbone for the internet 2. That is how they got started. For real high end stuff you can't beat them.
- Harabeck, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Maybe it's because Juniper was more desperate, and so IBM is getting more out of the deal than they would have from Cisco? Just a guess, I'm no expert on business.
- ricom1, on 09/09/2009, -0/+0Cloud computing, the dynamic datacenter.
Cloud computing helps to increase the speed at which applications are deployed, helping to increase the pace of innovated networked computing. Service deployed applications; Cloud computing can be provided using an enterprise datacenter’s own servers, or it can be provided by a cloud provider that takes all of the capital risk of owning the infrastructure.
Cloud computing incorporates virtualization, data and application on-demand deployment, internet delivery of services, and open source software. Virtualization enables a dynamic datacenter where servers provide resources that are utilized as needed with resources changing dynamically in order to meet the needed workload.
The combination of virtual machines and virtual appliances used for server deployment objects is one of the key features of cloud computing. Additionally, company’s can merge a storage cloud that provides a virtualized storage platform and is managed through an API, or Web-based interfaces for file management, and application data deployments.
Layered Service providers offering pay-by-use cloud computing solutions can be adjacent to company’s equipment leases. Public clouds are run by third party service providers and applications from different customers are likely to be mixed together on the cloud’s servers, storage systems, and networks. Private clouds are built for the exclusive use of one client, providing the utmost control over data, security, and quality of service. Private clouds can also be built and managed by a company’s own IT administrator. Hybrid clouds combine both public and private cloud models which may be used to handle planned workload spikes, or storage clouds configuration. Dedicated audits for security policies are a must.
The benefits of deploying applications using cloud computing include reducing run time and response time, minimizing the purchasing and deployment of physical infrastructure. Considerations for Energy efficiency, flexibility, simplified systems administration, pricing based on consumption, and most of all limiting the footprint of the datacenter.

Just FYI, I have seen some Unisys mainframes still kicking about here and there. I know that United Airliens runs their critical flight coordination stuff on Unisys - Ciryon, on 02/12/2009, -1/+1***** Juniper. We use Juniper secure applications manager to connect to Citrix metaframe presentation server at work and it's a ***** pain in the ass on Windows Vista.
