      Oracle UK To Open Dedicated G-Cloud Data Centre

      Oracle is launching a new UK data centre entirely for government contracts in the G-Cloud, hosting applications delivered by both Oracle and its partners. The data centre will be in the Thames Valley and will comply with the IL3 security specification, a government requirement for this type of work. It joins Oracle’s general purpose data centre in Linlithgow, and follows an announcement of a UK data centre from rival Salesforce .

      The Azure Cloud, Exposed to the Azure Sky

Lightweight enclosures filled with servers, known as ITPACs, sit under the barest of skeleton of a facility. They are self-contained data centers, assembled in days, housed on a concrete slabs and attached to a power “spine” supplying connections to the grid and the Internet. It’s completely open to the air, and in production.

      Beating the Storage Odds in Age of Big Data

      Technical evolution moves at different rates and for different reasons. Unlike other areas of computing, for example, storage solutions for distributed systems have evolved as a result of proliferation, rather than more traditional reasons such as price, performance and technical advancements. In other words, when organizations have bought a particular storage technology, they’ve grown with it whether they planned to or not.

      Open Compute's Switches: Has SDN Failed? by Peter Judge

      The news that the Facebook-backed Open Compute project is designing bare metal data centre switches has caused a lot of excitement, and possibly confusion. Open Compute wants commoditised data center hardware - for giant users like Facebook, but with implications for plenty of other data centers. It has previously open-sourced some bare-metal server designs, and also offered generic chip sockets and interconnnects as well as storage approaches. The “top-of-rack” network switch is big next step.
