Insulating Innovators with Cloud Computing

,----[ Quote ]
| Looking around the conference hall at the
| Cloud Computing Conference, companies such
| as 3tera offer a provisioning tool that is
| able to automatically produce images of
| servers, switches, and routers within a
| virtual environment. You need a new LINUX
| box, you drag and drop a pre-configured
| LINUX image into your environment. It
| "spools" and is ready for access within
| about 2 seconds. From the user's
| perspective, it is a physical LINUX server
| that could very well be mounted in the next
| room. The object functions exactly as a
| physical server would behave.

[Hill Air Force Base Making] Order out of chaos

,----[ Quote ]
| Hill is using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 5, which has received Common
| Operating Environment certification from the Defense Information Systems
| Agency, meeting DISA requirements for interoperability, performance and
| standards. It also received certification through the Common Criteria
| Evaluation and Validation Scheme, a cooperative effort of the United States,
| Canada and Europe that's spearheaded by the National Institute of Standards
| and Technology. CCEVS is "sort of a Good Housekeeping Seal of approval" that
| a product is secure, Smith said.
|
| Microsoft Windows just doesn't have a good reputation when it has to scale to
| an enterprise application that requires high levels of security, Smith said.
