How good is this Prezi

Playing to Learn? by Maria Andersen on Prezi

How good is this way of presenting!!!! it makes sense to me - I've never liked slide packs - I've been looking for something like this for months - it reminds me of the ABC beast files e.g. Best file:Google and I've always thought that was a great way to keep people engaged
I've been looking for a tool to do that

The tool Hans Rosling uses http://www.ted.com/speakers/hans_rosling.html is now open source and a great way to present data too

CORAID EtherDrive: Ethernet SAN for Virtualization, Cloud, and Enterprise Storage

10Gb Ethernet will be ubiquitous soon and this EtherDrive stuff has a great price/performance ratio

AIX has been able to boot iSCSI since v5 and support for NAS(ATA-over-Ethernet) has been in the Linux kernel circa. 2005

I'm mean, seriously when is storage going to `converge`?

Support Position for Oracle Products Running on VMWare Virtualized Environments [ID 249212.1]

Modified 16-NOV-2007 Type ANNOUNCEMENT Status PUBLISHED

Purpose
---------
Explain to customers how Oracle supports our products when running on VMware

Scope & Application
----------------------
For Customers running Oracle products on VMware virtualized environments.
No limitation on use or distribution.


Support Status for VMware Virtualized Environments
--------------------------------------------------
Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized
environments. Oracle Support will assist customers running Oracle products
on VMware in the following manner: Oracle will only provide
support for issues that either are known to occur on the native OS, or
can be demonstrated not to be as a result of running on VMware.

If a problem is a known Oracle issue, Oracle support will recommend the
appropriate solution on the native OS. If that solution does not work in
the VMware virtualized environment, the customer will be referred to VMware
for support. When the customer can demonstrate that the Oracle solution
does not work when running on the native OS, Oracle will resume support,
including logging a bug with Oracle Development for investigation if required.

If the problem is determined not to be a known Oracle issue, we will refer
the customer to VMware for support. When the customer can demonstrate
that the issue occurs when running on the native OS, Oracle will resume
support, including logging a bug with Oracle Development for investigation
if required.

NOTE: Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMWare, and use of
Oracle products in the RAC environment is also not supported.
