    What is Cloud Computing? "Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Forum May 2010 http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/forum-workshop_may2010.html Cloud Computing concept... it's been around longer than you think "In 1984, John Gage and Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems were credited with saying, "The network is the computer," one of the most memorable slogans of the information age. This concept, based on the tenet of making computing resources available to all users irrespective of location, as long as they are connected to the network, forms the basis of the Internet as we know it, and foretold the advent of cloud computing."

  • Lookout! (V108)
    Crossing the Digital Divide (v108) “Lookout!” by Joseph Feigon for the Observer Scott McNealy is an American businessman. He is most famous for co-founding the computer technology company Sun Microsystems in 1982 along with Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy and Andy Bechtolsheim. Oracle Corporation (Larry Ellison’s database client) purchased Sun Microsystems in 2010. Mr. McNealy was one of the relative success stories in the early days of the Internet. Sun Microsystems built exceptional servers, and was a market leader with their Unix operating system as well as their corporate support of the Open Source movement, including Linux. Sun ‘cuda been’ a contender. Lookout was McNealy's inverted name for Outlook, Microsoft's e-mail client. McNealy says you need to "look out" for trouble when using Outlook. McNealy frequently cites Outlook's well documented security problems. He says that to get the most functionality out of Outlook you'll also need Microsoft's Exchange Server. But the combination, and the Microsoft- only mail and calendaring protocol required to connect them (MAPI), is yet another example of how Microsoft locks businesses into proprietary technologies that eliminate choice and flexibility. Microsoft is still here, Sun Microsystems is not. Proprietary software continues to dominate the retail customer (Windows, anyone?), as well as many big companies. Those success stories in the Open Source space build applications on an Operating System (Linux, BSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc.) that is open, meaning, free to you and me. Open, as in, anyone with the desire and/or ability can review each line of coding that makes things work.

  • Operating RISC: UNIX Standards in the 1990S
    Operating RISC: UNIX Standards in the 1990s This case was written by Will Mitchell and Paul Kritikos at the University of Michigan. The case is based on public sources. Some figures are based on case-writers' estimates. We appreciate comments from David Girouard, Robert E. Thomas and Michael Wolff. The note "Product Standards and Competitive Advantage" (Mitchell 1992) supplements this case. The latest International Computerquest Corporation analysis of the market for UNIX- based computers landed on three desks on the same morning. Noel Sharp, founder, chief executive officer, chief engineer and chief bottle washer for the Superbly Quick Architecture Workstation Company (SQAWC) in Mountain View, California hoped to see strong growth predicted for the market for systems designed to help architects improve their designs. In New York, Bo Thomas, senior strategist for the UNIX systems division of A Big Computer Company (ABCC), hoped that general commercial markets for UNIX-based computer systems would show strong growth, but feared that the company's traditional mainframe and mini-computer sales would suffer as a result. Airborne in the middle of the Atlantic, Jean-Helmut Morini-Stokes, senior engineer for the UNIX division of European Electronic National Industry (EENI), immediately looked to see if European companies would finally have an impact on the American market for UNIX-based systems. After looking for analysis concerning their own companies, all three managers checked the outlook for the alliances competing to establish a UNIX operating system standard. Although their companies were alike only in being fictional, the three managers faced the same product standards issues. How could they hasten the adoption of a UNIX standard? The market simply would not grow until computer buyers and application software developers could count on operating system stability.

  • Knowledge Management & Impact Monitoring Strategy
    DELIVERABLE D.T3.4.5 REPORT ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT & IMPACT MONITORING Round-Up Report June, 2020 Author: Lubelskie Voivodeship 1 Identification WP Activity Deliverable Document A.T3.4: Final version Knowledge T3: RI Pilot Actions D.T3.4.5- KM/ IM Round- Management and up Report and materials Impact Monitoring 1. About this document Lubelskie Voivodeship (PP11) plays a role of the coordinator of WPT3 RI Pilot Actions. The action has been implemented in 9 partner local areas in 7 EU Member States. According to Knowledge Management and Impact Monitoring Methodology adopted for implementation in March 2018, the monitoring system consists of information on the implementation of the pilot phase under WPT3 provided by PPs in the form of reports on the PA progress (Pilot Action in partner local areas) and recommendations/opinions PPs on possible improvements of these processes (Knowledge Exchange in ROSIE'S partnership) The first stage of WPT3 was the Capacity Building Program where entrepreneurs have been informed about the innovative RI tools proposed in the ROSIE project. This was done through in- person trainings, informative on-line trainings as well as the training modules uploaded at PPs 2 websites. Some PPs decided to introduce the topic as the training modules on their websites and then develop it in the Action Pilot phase in form of Design Thinking workshops, after the selection of PA participants. The PA tools were adapted at the diagnosis and implementation stage in each enterprise depending on the specifics of their operation, the possibilities of the enterprise's involvement in the Pilot Action, the amount of time available for work under WPT3 and the available human resources.

SunOS: A peopleʼs history • In the early 1990s, after a painful transition to Solaris, much of the SunOS 4.x engineering talent had left • Problems compounded by the adoption of an immature SCM, the Network Software Environment (NSE) • The engineers revolted: Larry McVoy developed a much simpler variant of NSE called NSElite (ancestor to git) • Using NSElite (and later, TeamWare), Roger Faulkner, Tim Marsland, Joe Kowalski and Jeff Bonwick led a sufficiently parallelized development effort to produce Solaris 2.3, “the first version that worked” • ...but with Solaris 2.4, management took over day-to- day operations of the release, and quality slipped again Solaris 2.5: Do or die • Solaris 2.5 absolutely had to get it right — Sun had new hardware, the UltraSPARC-I, that depended on it • To assure quality, the engineers “took over,” with Bonwick installed as the gatekeeper • Bonwick granted authority to “rip it out if itʼs broken" — an early BDFL model, and a template for later generations of engineering leadership • Solaris 2.5 shipped on schedule and at quality
