F5 Friday: New Services from F5 Ease Migration and Upgrades

— I get by with a little help from my friends… While cloud and virtualization primarily focus on improving the provisioning process, there is a lot more to managing a data center and its critical components than just deployment.

Management in Multi-Hypervisor Environments

— Make the Financial Case for Virtualization and Cloud Computing When it comes to hardware infrastructure, the single-vendor environment is practically unheard of. So it stands to reason that enterprises would be just as willing to adopt the same

The year's best hardware, software, and cloud services

— Was it the philosopher George Santayana who said, "Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it?" Did he offer any hints for those of us who want to repeat the past, especially the successes? We're beyond the teary elegies of 2011 and deep into making resolutions for 2012. If we're going to stand half a...

Smaller Companies and Larger Data Centers

After watching an SAP web...

Brick and Mortal Retail Doomed, Doomed I Say

— Not my usual blog topic, but hey, it’s Friday and I had a brutal week.  But, I just had to relay a retail experience I had a week or so ago.  I went into a local hardware store.  It’s a pretty good one but I’ve always thought they were a bit pricey.  But, I needed a new vanity mirr...

GPGPU Sorting

— Years ago I incorrectly believed special purpose hardware was a bad idea. What was a bad idea is high-markup, special purpose devices sold at low volume, through expensive channels. Hardware implementations are often best value measured in work done per dollar and work done per joule. The newest breed of commodit...

VFORUM Sydney 2010

— Now were racing against a similar pressure clock to cloud enable anything with a bit and a silicon soul. It’s quite exciting to see VMware, with a leading market position in enterprise virtualisation, rally practically every hardware/software vendor, consultancy, and techy into a common charge.

About

My name is Catherine Liao and welcome to my blog. Under news you'll find the latest postings of various blogs I follow. The topics tend to center around WAN Optimization, Cloud Computing, Data Center, Virtualization, Servers, Web Technologies and 24x7 Operations.

These are topics that I'm interested in as I've spent a large chunk of my professional career building, deploying, and maintaining 24x7 application delivery environments. I use the knowledge I've garnered daily in my role as a Business Development Manager for Cisco. I should note that this site is my personal site and does not reflect the views of Cisco.

I'm also very passionate about wine and have created a mobile platform for wine lovers to remember and share the wines they are having. How often have you asked yourself "What was that great bottle of wine I had last night"? Corkbin solves that problem by being your pocket wine memory. The app records the label, notes, & gps location of a wine so that you can look it up the next time you're in a restaurant or wine shop.

Feel free to drop me a note if you find this site useful or if you'd like for me to check out your blog. I can be reached at catherine.liao@gmail.com. You can also connect with me via LinkedIn or Twitter.
