Dell plans new line of 'cloud' servers this year
James Niccolai
02.02.2010 kl 20:51 | IDG News Service
http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=907B9E10-1A64-6A71-CE55F86495A6FB30
Dell is hatching a plan to take some of the custom servers designed by its Data Center Solutions division for Web giants such as Yahoo and Facebook and sell them to a wider range of companies, including large enterprises, Dell executives said.
Dell is hatching a plan to take some of the custom servers designed by its Data Center Solutions division for Web giants such as Yahoo and Facebook and sell them to a wider range of companies, including large enterprises, Dell executives said.
The DCS unit was formed about three years ago to help Dell get more business from large Internet firms. Its engineers often spend several weeks on-site with those companies to design low-cost, low-power systems that meet the special requirements of their search, social networking and other Web applications.
That hands-on role means the DCS group designs servers only for large companies, such as Ask.com and Microsoft's Azure division, which order tens of thousands of servers per year. But that's about to change, Dell executives said in an interview.
Later this year Dell will turn some of those custom servers into standardized products and sell them to companies that order lower volumes of systems, including enterprises building "private cloud" environments in their data centers, and a second tier of smaller Internet companies. They will likely be sold under a new brand, CloudEdge.
"What we've found is, there are a whole bunch of other customers who want access to those designs but who are not buying in those types of quantities," said Andy Rhodes, a director with Dell's DCS group. "So the big thing we're solving now, and we'll talk more publically about over the next couple of months, is how to provide more of that capability to many, many more customers."
Dell isn't discussing specific products yet and is still working out details, such as whether the servers will be sold by DCS or through Dell's standard server channels. But the goal is to offer the designs to a wider market, even while DCS continues to do custom work for very large customers. "We're not announcing anything right now, but that is definitely something we will announce this year," Rhodes said.
DCS aims to build highly energy-efficient servers that pack a lot of computing power into a small space. The systems often forego redundant power supplies and fans, for example, which saves on component costs and energy bills.
That also makes the servers less resilient to failure -- a trade-off large Internet companies are willing to make for lower operational costs. Companies such as Google and Yahoo design their Web applications to run on such "fail in place" architectures, so that workloads are rerouted around failed servers with little or no disruption to services.
"The main thing with these hyperscale systems is that the availability and resiliency are baked into the customers' applications rather than into the hardware," said Barton George, cloud evangelist for Dell.
That means the servers aren't suitable for most enterprise applications, and it remains to be seen how Dell will position the new servers for enterprise use.
"We're going to be very clear to our sales force and our customers that these are for those rarefied environments where you have this type of software infrastructure," George said. "If you were to run SAP or a database or a file server on one of these systems it would be a disaster. It wouldn't work."
Dell is likely to bundle the CloudEdge systems with software tools for a variety of usage scenarios, including building and managing public and private clouds. Rhodes suggested that tools from Microsoft and VMware will be offered, as well as provisioning and orchestration software from Dell partner Scalent Systems.
"The markets we're looking at are people building public clouds, but one tier below what we've been focusing on," George said. Large enterprises will also be a target, he said.
The systems could help Dell compete better with Hewlett-Packard, which last July announced a similar line of Extreme Scale-Out systems, and with IBM's highly dense iDataPlex servers. SGI and other vendors also target this market.
Dell doesn't break out the DCS group's financial results so it is hard to know how well it is performing, but Rhodes said the division has "grown massively in terms of revenue and units." The group is working closely with 20 customers, mostly household Internet names in the U.S. and China, he said.
That's fewer than the number of companies DCS has said it was engaged with in the past.
"What we found was, when you're developing a customized business, you really want to create customer intimacy and go deeper and partner much more with them. To do that, we scaled the customer list back slightly and we're going to serve the rest of the markets with these mainstream products when we announce them," Rhodes said.
The group hasn't disclosed many of its server designs, in part because its large customers demand secrecy. It has published details of one server that uses Nano processors from Via technologies, and crams 12 server boards into a 2u chassis. Most systems use Intel and Advanced Micro Devices processors.
Forrester analyst Frank Gillett said it makes sense for Dell to market its custom designs to other customers, but noted that "they're not designed for standard IT stuff and you need to know exactly what you're doing with them."
"It sounds like something for the oil and gas guys who need a bunch of servers to crunch seismic analyses, or the guys on Wall Street doing risk analysis," he said. "It's for the companies running applications that look like Web-scale or cloud-scale compute problems, which are not conventional applications."

I hope you are right regarding Wave's ultimate success. But to say that the people on this thread HAVE BEEN RIGHT ON TARGET with respect to anything regarding Wave (I know, you said trusted computing, not Wave)is so absurd, ridiculous, and patently false on the evidence. That fact is that the naysayers or bashers, or what ever you want to call them (I call them truthtellers) have all been right so far, and everyone predicting success on this board has been wrong. Those are the facts.

PC/RWK, there were several past posters who said they would wait until wavx "proved" itself and reached the 2 dollar level (or 2-5 dollar range?) before purchasing shares. So we'll see, with $2 knocking at the door this just may bring in some folks standing on the sidelines.

Sensitive but Unclassified
Featuring: Howard Schmidt & Jon Callas
The information explosion has created a massive amount of sensitive data that is improperly protected. Although “Secret” and “Top Secret” information classifications are governed by rigorous standards and procedures, “Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU)” information is governed by fewer protective measures. In many cases, however, SBU documents can cause great damage when released. This webcast will explain SBU information, look at best practices for protecting it, and explore how PGP® Universal simplifies, controls, and audits this process.
Moderated By: Jim Reavis, President, Reavis Consulting
Note: Send questions about this webcast to q@sans.org.
Speaker Bios:
Howard Schmidt: Howard Schmidt is the Chief Information Security Officer of a major e-commerce company and founded the Global Council of CSOs, a think tank comprised of a group of influential corporate, government and academic security experts dedicated to raising the awareness of online security issues. Mr. Schmidt recently returned to the public sector after 31 years of public service, including appointment by President Bush as the Vice Chair of the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board and as the Special Adviser for Cyberspace Security for the White House. Prior to his White House years, Mr. Schmidt was the Chief Security Officer for Microsoft Corp., where he also formed and directed the Trustworthy Computing Security Strategies Group. He is recognized as one of the pioneers in the field of computer forensics and computer evidence collection and has testified as an expert witness in the areas of computer crime, computer forensics, and Internet crime.
Jon Callas: Mr. Callas served as Chief Scientist at PGP Inc. and as CTO of the Network Security Division for Network Associates Technologies Inc. Mr. Callas also served as Director of Software Engineering at Counterpane Internet Security Inc. and was a co-architect of Counterpane's Managed Security Monitoring system. Most recently, he was Senior Systems Architect at Wave Systems Corporation. His career includes work at Digital Equipment Corporation, World Benders, and Apple Computer. He is the principal author of the Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF's) OpenPGP standard and a writer and frequent lecturer on system security and intellectual property issues. Mr. Callas has a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Maryland.

OpenID 2009 Year in Review
Posted at 1:50 pm on December 16, 2009 by Brian Kissel
It’s been an exciting year. A number of initiatives that were started in 2008 had a direct impact on the success of the platform in the past year, so many thanks to all the organizations and individuals who have contributed. Here’s a quick summary of the state of OpenID.
* There are over 1 billion OpenID enabled accounts from the following providers worldwide:
o US: AOL, Blogger, Flickr, Google, LiveJournal, MySpace, Verisign, WordPress, and Yahoo
o Europe: France Telecom, GMX/Web.DE, Hyves, Netlog, and Telecom Italia
o Japan: Livedoor, mixi, NEC Biglobe, Rakuten, and Yahoo! Japan
* There are over 9 million websites utilizing OpenID for registration and login on some portion of their websites across a wide range of organizations including Sears, Kmart, Universal Music Group (200+ Interscope, Geffen, A&M labels and artists), FoxNews, EMI, TwitterFeed, RedPlum, Savings.com, DC Shoes, CitySearch, Zappos, Nike, Microsoft, Mint, Nokia, Random House, Sony BMG, Café Press, TweetDeck, ViewPoints, Qype, Scout24 (Deutsche Telecom), Avro, Associated Northcliffe Digital, Smart.fm, Hokkaido Television Broadcasting, OnGen, 2-han.net, Nikko Hotels, ClipCast, Facebook etc.
* Microsoft, NTT Docomo, PBS, and PayPal have also announced plans to OpenID-enable their users adding hundreds of millions of additional OpenID enabled accounts
* Several organizations are using OpenID internally for federated ID management: Amazon, Japan Airlines International, National 4-H, SAP, Sun Microsystems, and PBS
* The US federal government has announced its intention to deploy OpenID on federal websites. During two separate meetings with Vivek Kundra, the Federal CIO, he explained that a major priority for the federal government is transparency and “citizen engagement.” Accordingly, the government is aggressively pursuing open standard technologies that enable and support these objectives. At the Gov 2.0 Summit in Washington DC, the General Services Administration and several government agencies announced their plans to adopt OpenID as part of the White House’s Open Government Initiative. This announcement followed several months of research and discussion between the OpenID Foundation, OIDF member companies, the GSA, NIST, OMB, the InfoCard Foundation, and various government agencies. The Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) committee of the GSA published its Identity Scheme Adoption Process, Trust Framework Provider Adoption Process, and OpenID 2.0 Government Profile documents over the last several months. Initial identity providers include Yahoo, Google, AOL, Verisign, and PayPal who are undergoing certification processes defined in the TFPAP. The first wave of federal websites to accept these identity providers will include the Center for Information Technology (CIT), National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and related agencies.
* A large number of market leading web platform providers have also integrated OpenID including Disqus, Drupal, GetSatisfaction, Joomla, JS-Kit, Kickapps, Movable Type, Plone, Pluck, TypePad, UserVoice, Viewpoints, WetPaint, WordPress, and Zend.
* Shibboleth, an identity management system used by thousands of research institutions has announced that Shibboleth V2.X will integrate OpenID support. The U.S. deployment of Shibboleth, InCommon, is a community of more than 4 million researchers, students, staff, and faculty across more than 180 institutions. The OpenID Foundation worked closely with InCommon/ Shibboleth in developing trust frameworks for the US Government OpenID deployment. Another example of how the OpenID Foundation and members are collaborating with a number of identity initiatives.
* The OpenID Foundation and member organizations continue to collaborate closely with other user managed identity open standards including OAuth, Portable Contacts, and Activity Streams to provide website operators and end users with even richer and mutually beneficial web experiences. We believe that this decentralized, open-standards-based approach is ultimately in the best interest of website operators and end users alike, where both collaboration and competition can drive innovation, choice, and widespread adoption across multiple geographies/nationalities, application areas, and demographic segments.
Beyond these broad market developments and milestones, the following summarizes some specfic accomplishments in various categories:
* OpenID Foundation Organizational Developments. As we mentioned at the end of 2008 and in early 2009, a lot of attention was required to develop an organizational capability commensurate with the growing role and needs of the Foundation.
o At the end of 2008 we completed our first open board elections for 2009 and subsequently elected an executive committee.
o We were fortunate to be able to hire Don Thibeau as our new Executive Director. Don was formerly VP Business Development at TransUnion and Executive Vice President at Qsent
o We retained Global Inventures as our Foundation platform infrastructure partner. Global Inventures manages the back office operations of over 20 organizations including HDMI, HomePlug Network, Open Grid Network, PC Gaming Alliance, SD Card Association, and the ZigBee Alliance
o We established a 2009 operational and financial plan, balanced costs and income even with the unplanned costs for US Government OpenID pilot programs
o We added Nat Sakimura as International Liaison to OpenID Foundation Board Executive Committee
o The bylaws and IPR agreements were updated
o We added three new sustaining members: PayPal, Facebook, and Booz Allen Hamilton
o We established the User Interface, OpenID/OAuth Hybrid, and Contract Exchange working groups
o The board developed a list of key priorities for 2010
* Market Outreach. A key goal for 2009 was to increase awareness, adoption and usage of OpenID.
o OIDF’s Executive Director and several board members represented OpenID with analysts like Gartner and led a new industry collaboration with key identity ecosystems organizations like InCommon, Kantara, Oasis, and others at key public and private sector events.
o We participated in several industry events including Internet Identity Workshops, RSA Conference, Transparency Camp, Government 2.0, and others
o Yahoo and Facebook each hosted and led User Experience Summits at their respective facilities
o Yahoo held an OpenID Summit just before Internet Identity Workshop
o BBC and JanRain hosted a Content Provider Committee meeting in NYC and several members participated in an Online Retailer Advisory Committee session
o Sears, Yahoo, and JanRain are scheduling the next UX Summit at Sears Usability Lab in February in Chicago
o We executed two significant updates to the OIDF website led by Chris Messina with support from Global Inventures and JanRain
o Several individual community candidates for the 2010 board elections represent experience with broader industry and geographic coverage – Media (NY Times, NPR, PBS), Commerce (Sears), International (Deutsche Telekom, Switzerland, Estonia, Netherlands, India, etc.)
* Federal Government. While this opportunity wasn’t on our roadmap at the beginning of the year, the Foundation responded quickly and aggressively to requests from the government to adopt OpenID for use on federal government websites.
o OIDF’s Board of Directors responded to the invitation of the US CIO, Vivek Kundra, and significantly influenced the government’s plans for technical and policy interoperability of internet identity.
o We worked with GSA, NIST, OMB, NIH, HHA, CIT, and ICF to deploy pilots for three federal government agencies
o 5 industry leading identity providers are supporting the OIDF’s training and technical assistance for testing a government-wide technology profile for OpenID in pilot applications in support of the US NIH iTrust Program: Google, Yahoo, AOL, Verisign, and PayPal
o OIDF’s Chairman, Executive Director and outreach committee members were quoted in numerous trade, government and mainstream press regarding the US GSA’s “Open Identity for Open Government Initiative”
o The OIDF is evaluating mechanisms to deliver the organizational capability required to provide ongoing OP certification services for the federal government and eventually other commercial applications
* OP Progress. All the major OpenID Providers have significantly improved the richness and usability of their offerings (OP capability summary to be published shortly)
o MySpace became an OpenID provider
o Facebook became an OpenID relying party
o PayPal became and OP for the federal government pilot
o Google converted over 1 million Google Apps clients into OpenID providers
o Microsoft committed to becoming an OpenID Provider in 2010
o AOL committed to migrating to OpenID 2.X in 2010
* Security Progress. Monitoring and continuous improvement in safety and security of the OpenID platform continues to be an area of emphasis for the Foundation. The following summarizes some important developments during the period.
o Andrew Nash of PayPal was selected to head the Security Committee. Other members include: Eric Sachs, Nat Sakimura, Tony Nadalin, David Recordon, Eddy Nigg, John Bradley, Nate Klingenstein, and Philip Hallam-Baker
o Working groups were formed and specification development has progressed for both the PAPE and Contract Exchange OpenID extensions
o Per the Federal Government section above, the OpenID Foundation and Information Card Foundation have been working with the GSA, NIST, and others on trust and security frameworks for federal government deployment pilots. It is expected that the trust frameworks and certification programs developed for this application will be extensible to other commercial and private sector applications where enhanced security requirements are relevant.
As you can see, the rate of progress has accelerated in 2009 and we expect it to continue in 2010. We thank member organizations and individuals for their input and contributions, and look forward to even more support in the coming year. Remember you can contribute via mailing lists, technical working groups, and standing committees so please stay or get involved to help us realize the full potential of the OpenID platform.
Best wishes for a great holiday season and new year.

Closed at $0.96 on Friday. Back in March of this year NCST was at $0.30. Sure hope this uptrend continues.

helpfulbacteria, point well taken -- I would like to believe they are "tuning" up the id.wave.com site. Several times (including just 5 minutes ago) I have found the id.wave.com site not responding during the log-in process. I will send my comments/concerns to their support team.
I hope the wave board folks here don't take my recent comments as an attack. I am very pleased and in support of SKS.

go-kitesurf, I had a similar experience. It took me about an 1.5 hours all-in-all to set it up. 45-minutes of which was spent finding (this is itself is a long story that I already documented in an earlier post) and updating my wavx software.

FYI: I successfully opened an id.wave.com account using my latitude D820.

Doma, then Wave contradicts the info given at the id.wave.com page. The id.wave.com site implies that the D620 can be upgraded to version 3.3.0.26.

Jaybeaux, I too have a TPM enabled machine with WAVE software. I did load the software which installed an IE add-on but was unable to Sign-in for OpenID. It gave me the message, "Your TPM has not been enabled". However my TPM IS activated.
I have the most current WAVE software from the Dell site. I found it interesting that they claim you need to download the most current Wave Systems Corp – Application version 3.3.0.26 or above at the Dell website. This version does NOT exist at the dell site for the Latitude D620 or D820. The current version at Dell is version 2.1.2.25 (XP or VISTA).
Anyone success stories out there? Let me know!

Snack, thank you for passing on this fantastic listen especially the Question/Answer section at the end of the talk. I liked the "set it and forget it" jingle from Lark -- simple and to the point. Lark's description/advantages of hardware encryption was easy to follow. As an investor it's very reassuring to see Dell, Samsung and Wave all together in the same room discussing these FDE SSD. I agree, a must listen and deservedly highlighted.

Intel starts shipping SSDs again
http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/News/152839,intel-starts-shipping-ssds-again.aspx
By The Inquirer
Aug 13, 2009
Firmware fix fixes SSD password issues.
Intel has restarted shipping its latest solid-state drives (SSDs) after fixing a password bug that made the drives inoperable.
Intel said that it had issued updated firmware for the Intel X25-M consumer SSDs which can be found on its website.
An Intel spokesman said that shipments of the drives to retailers have also resumed with the bug now fixed.
Shipments were halted when users complained that when they set a BIOS drive password on the newly released SSDs the whole lot would be bricked.
The new X25-M and X18-M SSDs were released on 21 July and were targeted at laptop and desktop PCs.
However the SSD's new firmware does have some known problems. Some systems, including Macs with Nvidia chipsets, do not instantly recognise an Intel SSD.
You have to complete the SSD firmware upgrade on a system without an Nvidia chipset, and then reinstall the drive in the system with an Nvidia chipset. Sounds fun!

In comparison to Fluzone, an influenza virus vaccine, its recommended storage temp is 2-8 degress celsius (35.6 - 46.4 fahrenheit).

I was unable to find the temp. requirements for Prepandrix (GlaxoSmithKline's H5N1 vaccine).
