VMware buying Yahoo’s open source email and collaboration company Zimbra
by Matti Timonen on Jan.06, 2010, under Blog
What is VMware thinking ? Zimbra is cloud based offering but still. I would think this would be better fit for Microsoft or even IBM. It seems that VMware has too much money to spend.
If VMware buys Zimbra there is one more big player offering cloud based email services.

Blog moving to Wordpress
by Matti Timonen on Jan.05, 2010, under Blog
I’m just finalizing my new blog design. New version will be using Wordpress and
theme from Pixel theme. BlogSphere template has served well but since I’m not a
Domino Developer I decided to try out Wordpress. I have already noticed that
there is some issues with permalinks. I will have to create some process to
redirect old permalinks to new Wordpress links. Wordpress has different
redirect plugins but I have not been able to get them work properly in my hosted
installation of Wordpress. Unfortunately feed address will be changed too.
It is getting busy busy since there is just too
many things to get done before Lotusphere.

by Matti Timonen on Oct.05, 2009, under Blog
Do you want to reduce complexity Data Center. IBM XIV storage sub-system can help you reduce complexity in our storage. Check this video from VMWorld 2009.
XIV promises high density and high performance storage and very low cost.
It uses SATA disks in order to achive lower cost and lower power consumption (and less cooling required) than FC SCSI drives. Performance is excellent due to parallelism and caching (even though individual disks are slower).
But what I like the most is the simplicity. No need to think how to optimize the storage system and how to distribute the data. Sounds too good to be true. I definately need to study more about this.
