Collection of useful, relevant or inane places on the the Internets for 12 Mar 10:
- ASA 8.3.1 – Smart Tunnel and NAT Changes « Aaron’s Worthless Words – Aaron posts some initial thoguhts on ASA 8.3 code.
- Sorry to say good-bye | NetworkWorld.com Community – Brad "I'm an Internet Troll" Reese has been booted off Network World. Why "booted off" ? Because it looks like he didn't write his valedictory post.
The editors here at Network World are sorry to say good-bye to Brad Reese and his popular On Cisco blog.
Seems abrupt and a fast shove out of the door. Apparently he is still blogging on his own site but, meh.
- Swedes serve up flicks with KVM • The Register – Instead of purchased an "approved and certified" stack from the major players like HP, or IBM or Cisco/VMware/EMC they went with their own version that's look very tasty indeed. No following the market consensus but selecting the best of breed for their solution.
<ul>
<li>Cisco UCS servers</li>
<li>IBM Storage</li>
<li>RedHat KVM virtualisation platform</li>
</ul>And because they are Swedish, I'm betting that Ericsson got a fair bit of Redback Networking kit in there as well.

- Voltaire brings InfiniBand switch to the masses • The Register – I'm still not convinced that Ethernet is the best technology for the Data Centre and am open to Infiniband and PCI-E solutions perform better for top of rack solutions so I'm pleased to see the Infiniband is still progressing.
This switch looks the business.
