Rough Type: Nicholas Carr’s Blog: Openness Is Not Enough

October 31, 2008 by Greg Ferro · Leave a Comment 

Nick Carr is so clever:

“But in this early stage of the cloud’s development, openness means little to the buyer (or user). The buyers, particularly those in big companies, are nervous about the cloud even as they are becoming increasingly eager to reap the benefits the cloud can provide. What they care about right now is security, reliability, features, compatibility with their existing systems and applications, ease of adoption, stability of the vendor, and other practical concerns. “

Oh, OK. Did he miss anything ? In other words cloud computing is NOT meeting any of the the MINIMUM requirements for companies.

Not much to worry about then. Cloud Computing is already here ? What a load of tosh.

Cloud computing is much,much further away than anyone thinks.

CCIE Water Cooler Gossip: Tolly’s Review of IPexpert vs. Internetwork Expert CCIE Labs | NetworkWorld.Com Community

October 26, 2008 by Greg Ferro · 2 Comments 

The online bitch-slapping-fest between IPexpert and Internetwork Expert has reached a rather fevered pitch after Brad Reese spewed up the biggest troll post I have seen in years.

There seems to be a lot of ego, a lot of history, and airing of dirty laundry going on here. It not pretty for anyone involved, and frankly, as a customer its not looking good for either party. I can’t be bothered to spend too much time on it, digusting that grown men are acting this way.

They should be concentrating on making themselves better than Cisco 360 if they want their businesses to do well. That shouldn’t be hard to do, but when Global Knowledge or FastLane rolls out their CCIE training program using Cisco Joint Marketing Fund money to pay for students of resellers, both companies revenue stream might be in trouble.
