TODAY'S TOP STORY
- Wolfe's Den: Why Oracle's Sun Servers Are Sinking (And Why That's A Good Thing)
Gartner reports scary Q3 sales news for the server business Oracle took control of when it acquired Sun Microsystems, but Larry Ellison's focus on optimized systems such as Exadata is the reason Oracle needn't worry.

- RFI Responses: The New Data Center Network
Today's networks are under increasing pressure to support faster speeds and more virtual machines, and to carry both data and storage traffic. A network upgrade is an ideal time to evaluate the vendor you have in place. It's an opportunity to see whether your vendor's products are a fit with your business requirements or whether another vendor makes more sense.

- RAID: I'm Not Dead Yet
By Howard Marks
The other day a message showed up in my inbox with the subject, "Is RAID Dead?". While I understand, and agree, that expectations and advances in technology have passed simple RAID 5 by, I'm getting tired of the "XYZ Technology is Dead" meme. At various times we've been told tape, the PC, and e-mail were all dead. If calling RAID dead is an overstatement, what is the state of RAID?

- Mellanox and QLogic Play Duopoly
By Frank Berry
On Monday, Mellanox said it will buy Voltaire for $8.75 per share, or about $218 million. Excluding Voltaire's cash, Mellanox is getting the company for about $176 million. The $200 million per year InfiniBand networking market is now a duopoly comprising Mellanox and QLogic, the two suppliers that design their own adapter and switch chips.

- The Level 3/Comcast Fight Is About Money, Not Net Neutrality
By Mike Fratto, Editor
Level 3 is positioning its peering dispute with Comcast as a net neutrality issue, when in fact it's a business conflict. By claiming that a clash over money is actually a defense of users being able to access Internet resources, Level 3 may hurt the net neutrality effort because it confuses the issue. As a supporter of net neutrality, I think this is the wrong approach by Level 3.
