Thomas Wailgum 2009-11-16T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/converg/2009/110209convergence1.html Today we propose one alternative that could both maintain net neutrality and solve a looming crisis as more Internet users send and receive bandwidth intensive content. Namely, service providers should offer consumer-centric VPNs with multiple service classes in tandem with equal access to a "best effort" public Internet. The vision we have for this tiered consumer access to select content and applications is similar to the way most enterprises use a mix of public Internet access and VPNs.

Jim Metzler and Steve Taylor 2009-09-16T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2009/091509antonopoulos.html Cloud computing makes auditors cringe. It's something we hear consistently from enterprise customers: it was hard enough to make virtualization "palatable" to auditors; cloud is going to be even harder. By breaking the links between hardware and software, virtualization liberates workloads from the physical constraints of a single machine. Cloud takes that a step further making the physical location irrelevant and even obscure. Andreas M. Antonopoulos 2009-09-15T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/frame/2009/090709wan2.html The last newsletter highlighted the fact that the improvements that we have seen over the last twenty-five years in the price/performance ratio of wide area networking is nothing close to the price/performance improvements that we have seen for other areas of IT such as storage or processing.
