AT&T and OpenStack

AT&T has officially joined the OpenStack community. Welcome AT&T!

From the OpenStack blog:

“We also announced today that AT&T has become the first U.S. telecom services provider to join the OpenStack initiative, a community of more than 140 technology companies worldwide. We’ve been participating in OpenStack for more than a year and have already contributed a blueprint for a potential new function within OpenStack, focused on transactional task management.

We’re housing our OpenStack capabilities on dedicated infrastructure in three AT&T data centers today, with locations in Dallas, San Diego and Secaucus, New Jersey. We plan to more than double the number of our centers with open-source capabilities in 2012.”

Programming Master Class by Marc-André Cournoyer

One of the best I have attended in a long time. I would encourage anyone wanting to learning language internals or brush off that rust from your Computer Science Univ days (like me) to attend. It is worth it!

Hadoop and the Network

This article is Part 1 in series that will take a closer look at the architecture and methods of a Hadoop cluster, and how it relates to the network and server infrastructure. The content presented here is largely based on academic work and conversations I’ve had with customers running real production clusters. If you run production Hadoop clusters in your data center, I’m hoping you’ll provide your valuable insight in the comments below. Subsequent articles to this will cover the server and network architecture options in closer detail. Before we do that though, lets start by learning some of the basics about how a Hadoop cluster works. (In a hurry? Download this article here.) OK, let’s get started!
