IT in the Age of the Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Cloud computing represents the rise of the
| Internet of services. As digital
| technologies are increasingly penetrating
| every nook and cranny of the economy and
| society in general, we are seeing an
| explosion in the volume and variety of
| cloud-based services flowing through the
| Internet. Consequently, the cloud computing
| model requires a highly disciplined approach
| to the management, delivery and consumption
| of services for individuals and companies.

A tale of a tale of a shareable future, part 3: Apache Web Server conquers the world
,----[ Quote ]
| There was a moment, sometime near the end of
| the last century, when it rather suddenly
| became clear that Apache's web server was
| going to cement its position as the dominant
| webserver -- what the Web ran on. This meant
| that a loose nonprofit affiliation of
| moonlighting, largely unpaid volunteers had
| just massacred the giants of Silicon Valley
| -- Sun, Netscape, Microsoft -- on their own
| turf, on their central battleground, a space
| on which those corporate giants (I knew from
| reading their annual reports) had focussed
| their full attention and hundreds of
| millions of dollars.

Linux-Based Website Beats Windows-Based Sites
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux websites have better uptime and load faster than Windows-based
| websites. Research by WatchMouse, a website monitoring company, also
| shows that web server platform Apache outperforms the Microsoft IIS
| platform. Therefore, having a Linux website and an Apache web server
| platform offers the best choice for professional web pages.

December 2006 Security Space Survey Results
,----[ Quote ]
| Security Space estimates that nearly 90 percent of all Web sites
| are "orphans" to which no other sites link. Its Web server survey
| therefore counts only those servers referenced on other sites.
