Actually, not that it matters for this thread other than to speculate...

What if every IP enabled commercial video monitoring device [1] on the planet were now able to have a functional and durable dynamic DNS service, ostensibly, for what comes next [2]?

Timely. I did a "big data" presentation yesterday and hoped to convey how important it was to read original source materials to form opinions and avoid the hype.

Since slide decks get busy I moved my bibliography of links to a gist. So, while it didn't factor into my presentation I've now added this blog post. :-)

A lot of the folks at VCE (including me!) were really pleased to see this post. I've been thinking about Vblock Systems since 2010 as a way to do the dev / test / qa / qc / prod / scale /etc... pattern in the _same_ investment for initial spend and ongoing operations.

There are thousands of Vblock enabled teams out there in the world now so this is a great data point for those that have not yet considered the non prod options on the same environment.

Technology is the response to a perceived need.

Science is that which explains and predicts.

See also Kuhn's paradigm shift, etc...

> We would LOVE getting out of that part of our business [...]

That's a common theme when I meet with some unique companies that are still building out their own stacks of kit and just enough software to keep their consumption patterns consistent. It is about necessity some years but often comes down to the assembly line methods and sunk investments.

I'm curious how much variance you guys have / tolerate or if you ever see reaching VMI (maybe you are already there?) procurement levels?

Market wise, it isn't too outlandish to expect many of the "super highly reliable" options to have a future that is a spectrum of DIY + software (100% roll your own) all the way up to a full experience (status quo). Today, that roll your own option is a progression of hardware compatibility lists to reference architectures but there are only a few companies that go beyond that.

I'm curious to hear how much you see as "too much money" to keep your team from getting out of the rack/stack/burn/test/QA/QC/deploy. Do you plow the "too much money" less "build pods cheaper" into a value that can be compared an opportunity cost for the labor involved?

Yep. When people ask me "where to visit" style questions, the Container Park is my first recommendation.

Also... a MASSIVE robotic fire breathing praying mantis.

What's not to love?

My next recommendation is Red Rock National Conservation Area.

The strip is just a the strip. YMMV.

If a team consistently 'delivers' time and time again with a specific structure and arrangement it makes sense that the same team would be reconsidered -- time and time again.

If the lab animals were getting "fatter" decade over decade then I have to wonder if the lab animals were living in lab environments that were increasingly air conditioned or steady state temperatures decade over decade as well.

Seeking out some kind of mystery trace compound seems like an invitation to overlook more basic environmental factors like the living conditions.

Science is that which explains and predicts.

If you are missing either of these attributes -- you are in the realm of legends, folklore, and farmer's almanacs.

Interesting. Does anyone remember xmlresume from ~10 years ago?

VCE is hiring unicorn jockeys globally: http://UnicornJockey.com

VCE is a privately held company, formed by Cisco and EMC with investments from VMware and Intel, in order to accelerates the adoption of converged infrastructure.

Item 7: Move to Raleigh, NC

TLDR: The approach we take for IT works (for us at this point in time in the scope defined as IT by me and/or our internal customers).

Netflix talks generally can be fascinating and inspiring. However, when considering IT it's also important to consider the charter and challenges of Netflix IT.

i.e. it's no more valid or invalid that the talks of how IT is delivered in so-called build vs. broker models in other companies in other industries http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2013-07-05/

I was a bit shocked that I got invited to Svbtle back in September of last year after not being 'worthy' of being in the early limited exclusive access. ;-)

http://callthejury.com/so-many-blogs-so-little-impact

TLDR: If I was invited to Svbtle then it isn't a good sign.
