I recently wrote an article for Virtualization Magazine titled Security Implications of Virtualization Platforms in the Virtual Data Center (I know, a crazy long title, but that’s how it was published :) ). WARNING: That page auto-launches flash video with audio enabled – gave me a bit of a pause when I heard some guy talking and interrupting my curr...

What could you do with your code in 20 Lines or Less? That's the question (almost) I ask every week, and every week I go looking to find cool new examples that show just how flexible and powerful iRules can be without getting in over your head.
This week I bring you some more groovy examples of the power that iRule can bring to the table in just a few short lines of code. We'll touch on Protocol specific header insertion, port re-writing, and configuring partial gets properly for PDF re...

Amidst the hype of cloud computing and virtualization have been the publication of several research notes regarding SOA. Adoption, they say, is slowing.
Oh noes! Break out the generators, stock up on water and canned food!
An article from JavaWorld quotes research firm Gartner as saying:
The number of organizations planning to adopt SOA for the first time decreased to 25 percent; it had been 53 percent in last year's survey. Also, the number of organizations with no pl...

Sometimes you read an article and it gets you giggling. No you don't? Okay, sometimes I read an article and it gets me giggling.
I have a history with the press, and it left me with two distinct beliefs. First, look for the bias in the article - it's there, whether it's a political article or a tech article, the writer has opinions and editors seem to have lost the ability to filter them, even when they're "warm fuzzy" opinions rather than fact-based ones. Second, don't assume that just...

Welcome to my series of blog posts on the ABC's of Social Media, a tool that you can use to make you more "hip" in the world of Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn (just to name a few). Today's letter is "Y". Y was a pretty hard letter to come up with social media terms for so I'm going to default to the major way viral videos make it onto the Internet. With over 5 billion online videos viewed in July 2008, YouTube is definitely a force in social media. "Y" is for YouTube YouTube

Sometimes putting security solutions in place will undo all the work that has been done to accelerate an application. I'm not saying throw security out the window as acceleration is more important, both are equally important and can work together. Let's look at three scenarios SSL, SSL VPNs and web application firewalls.
SSL
SSL is critical when sending secure or private data across the Internet, however when providing content over SSL often times the performance of the applicati...

Last month I happened across this amusing, and ironic, poem describing the dichotomy that exists in trying to define cloud computing. Go ahead and read it, I'll wait, it's worth the time. Seriously.
I am not going to define cloud computing again. I've done that already and the point of this discussion is not what is cloud computing but rather how the cloud is beginning to separate into distinct models, each serving a different set of needs. The common theme between these models is "as ...

iControl is a set of web services methods that can be called in any order by any number of clients. Typically an application is written with the plan that it is the only one accessing your devices. In some cases though, you may require the ability to have programs making configuration changes concurrently. In this article, I'll discuss the iControl lock methods that allow for each application to play well with each other.
