Behind Sun Microsystem Buy MySQL
2008-02-04 12:03:00 So one day, Scott McNealy, founder and chairman of Sun, read in his morning newspaper how the use of Java was rapidly diminishing, courtesy of something called 'The LAMP Stack'. Furiously, he called his accountant. Scott: "I knew this Java thing was a bad idea in the first place! I see only one solution. We need to buy this Lamp!" Accountant: "Euh, LAMP is not a company. It's an acronym. It's Linux , Apache, MySQL and PHP" Scott: "Then buy me Linux!" Accountant: "But we still have this Solaris thing.." Scott: "Then buy me Apache!" Accountant: "That's a foundation. Nothing to buy there." Scott: "Then buy me MySQL!" Accountant: "We don't do databases." Scott: "It's a database?" Accountant: "What rock have you been living under?" Scott: "Sweet. I can own the Lamp AND piss off Oracle at the same time!" (waves fake plastic magic wand) "Make it so!"And so it happened.

Sun Microsystems Creating Portable Datacenter
2007-02-24 17:01:03 Sun Microsystems has constructed a portable datacenter called Project Blackbox and they are calling it the first virtualized datacenter. This is a pretty cool creation. Project Blackbox can support 10,000 desktop computers with no administrator and can be located almost anywhere because it is all housed in a 20-foot shipping container. It has 208-volt three-phase AC power, GPS and Ethernet networking. Also included, shock-tolerant server racks that will provide thousands of processor cores, 7TB of memory and over 2PB (that is Petabytes) of storage space. Plus an integrated cooling system. This is perfect for use in a disaster-struck area or an extremely remote location. No word on cost or availability. Check out Sun Microsystems’ web site for all the details.
