The Future in Review [VentureBlog]

One item in this interesting post caught my attention:

1. The PC economics of commodity hardware will come to networking gear.

How doing?

- Intel solidifying it’s lead in design wins here.

- IP Fabrics Alpha to customers in June.

A little while ago, I had posted a small article about DIY networking using open source components. In that article, I said that for the high-end, there is no way that open source could compete with the likes of Cisco. IP Fabrics seems to be very interesting in this regard. If someone can come up with a cheap reference platform that would allow hackers to play around with this, I think my remarks about open source not being able to compete would be proven wrong.

I am happy to announce a second album of interesting photos from Hyderbad. I have set up Gallery on my web site so it will be easier to post photos from now on
