Podcast
Limbering Up for a Data Center Makeover (27:31 minutes)
The pitfalls of center transformation can be avoided by balancing
long-term goals with short-term flexibility. Be ready to constantly
evaluate based on metrics and to reassess execution plans as DCT
projects unfold. Clinging too tightly to long-term plans and roadmaps
could potentially cause you to lose sight of how actual progress is
being made -- or not.

Today's Story Highlights

AMD Aims to Shimmy Into Ultrabook Turf With Ultrathins
Thin is all the rage in electronics these days, and nowhere is that more
evident than in the notebook computer realm, where Intel has created a
deafening buzz with its Ultrabook platform. However, Intel's archrival,
AMD, isn't sitting on its silicon when it comes to thin computers.

Facebook on Mission to Wipe Koobface Off Face of the Web
Facebook eradicated the Koobface virus from its site about nine months
ago. However, the social network says it is on a mission to vanquish it
completely. It intends to share what it has learned in three years of
battling the malware with law enforcement and the larger security
community.

Website Scaling, Part 2: The Metrics of Measuring
Measuring Web scalability is a critical component of website scaling.
The way you do this in a testing environment is, of course, called "load
testing." In this second series installment, I'll go over what Little's
Law is and how it can be related to load testing, determining how to
scale the Web and data layers. Finally, I'll share my tips for
troubleshooting common scaling bottlenecks.

LiVES: A Rich Video Editor With Layer Upon Layer of Features
LiVES is an advanced video editor that can double as a video jockey
tool. It is surprisingly powerful. But its interface makes it rather
simple to learn. In fact, it has so many feature levels that this app
would be right at home as the video editor of choice in any professional
film editing studio.

Microsoft Rejiggers File System for Windows Server 8
Move over, NTFS -- Microsoft has announced a newly engineered file
system, ReFS, for Windows Server 8. ReFS, or Resilient File System,
builds on NTFS, including many of its features but leaving out others.
It will be introduced only as part of Windows Server 8, in line with
Microsoft's standard approach for putting out new file systems.
