  • Are Today's Networks Turning into Yesterday's Factories? [View article]
    James:

    Great point. The carriers certainly have their own issues as well. Some of the SPs have watched Google assault their yellow pages revenue streams and now opportunities to monetize services.

    Thx

  • Peak IT - The Network Industry's Core Challenge [View article]
    Bigmoney:

    Thanks for your comment. Let me make the case for peak IT a bit more concise:

    1) As IT infrastructure grows there is increasing evidence of rising per unit management costs (servers-IDC; IP addresses-Computerworl...

    2) Cisco predicts robust growth in IP addresses (14 billion by 2010)

    3) As IT becomes more expensive to maintain (on a per unit basis) many firms will be forced by tight budgets into investing less in management productivity etc- and that is when the downhill slide begins. Operations expenses crowd out productivity investments.

    QED: Network vendors need to address this issue in order to sell more gear; CIOs need to address this issue in order to keep up with inevitable infrastructure growth; virtualization and cloud will need network automation in order to fully deliver on their promises.

    I'm horrible at short term market predictions. For that I would recommend channel checks and/or analyst reports who follow shipments more closely.

    Thanks for the comment.

  • The Next Tech Boom: Infrastructure 2.0 [View article]
    It will be financed IMHO by the enterprises who view the network strategically and see the opportunity to reduce TCO while boosting availability. Will be talking more about these network strategists in coming articles.

    I've blogged about security (ala virtsec) continuously at archimedius.net.. and you are right the the implications of dynamic infrastructure with connectivity intelligence are substantial for network security, especially in virtualized production environments.

    Thanks for your comment.

    LT- Hard to say at this point. I think they are well-positioned because of their strength in layer 3 and their sheer market position. My opinion.

    Thanks,

    ishortyou:

    The key is hust how much the network must evolve to support acceptable levels of security, availability etc for enterprise apps. You're correct that systems and endpoints have become more dynamic and powerful; the question is to what extent the network has kept up and will keep up for more power and change.

    Thanks,

    Phil:

    I think they who automate will win. That means that the choices that IT departments make in coming quarters may influence how much gets cloudsourced, if any. Similarly, cloud won't succeed without new levels of intelligence and automation... scale requires it. O'reilly and Carr may argue about competing visions, yet both are assuming economies of scale in IT. At my blog (archimedius.net) and at Seeking ALpha I've discussed why the scale issue is open for debate, for both cloud and enterprise IT.

    Thx
