Vi segnalo questa notizia Dreaming in the “Cloud” with the XIOS web operating system perche’ affronta la “cloud” dal punto di vista di chi la usa e cosa usa. Jeremy Reimer riassume i concetti principali di XIOS in un’intervista al CEO Daniel Arthursson.
Mi ha colpito questa definizione
The “operating system” (more on the scare quotes later) is based on XML, and using AJAX it connects to multiple back-end servers running Ubuntu Linux. XIOS is not an applet or a plug-in. Instead, the “OS” is really a complex AJAX-based system, and Arthursson says that it can be viewed as a virtual machine for XML applications.

Ho ripreso questo post dal blog di Bill St.Arnaud perche’ riguarda i data center (e IX) relativamente alle problematiche del consumo energetico.
[At this weeks NANOG there was an excellent presentation on the challenges of the electrical power consumption and cooling for modern data centers.
Some very scary data and you can see why the ICT industry carbon footprintwill easily exceed that of aviation industry — BSA]
Gli “scary facts” sono:
By 2008, 50% of today’s Data Centers will have insufficient power andcooling;
By 2010, half of all (Enterprise) Data Centers will have to relocate or outsource applications to another facility.
Some organizations are in the unenviable position of paying more to power and cool a rack a servers than they paid for the rack and the servers themselves.
The Bottleneck of the Internet is the Colo!
