- What WAN Optimizers Can Learn From Firewalls
By David Greenfield
Listening to the give and take about WAN optimizers, made me remember another battle between networking giants. It was nearly 10 years ago, during the early days of firewalls when it seemed Marcus Ranum, then with Network FlightRecorder, would go head-to-head with Checkpoint's Gil Schwed on a weekly basis. Ranum was among the early creators of the application proxy and was vociferous in the value of delivering a firewall that terminated and inspected every session before passing the contents onto the destination. It was very effective, very secure and yet ultimately eclipsed by competing approaches.

- Open-FCoE: Will Software Initiators Win Again?
By Howard Marks
Now that second- and, for some components, third-generation Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) equipment is coming to market, Intel is once again promoting the use of Open-FCoE software initiators with its X520 10Gbps network cards as an alternative to Cisco Network Assistants (CNAs) that process the FCoE protocol traffic on-card. The question for Open-FCoE is: Will the FCoE market develop like the Fibre Channel market or the iSCSI market did?

- Standardizing Cloud APIs Is Useless
By Mike Fratto, Editor
In a session on open source in the cloud at the Cloud Connect show in Santa Clara, Calif., Randy Bias of Cloudscaling dropped a bombshell of a statement: "API's don't matter." What Bias was really asking was, "What role do standards play in cloud computing?" With a wry smirk, Bias went on to explain that mimicking Amazon's APIs, for example, is useless if providers don't have the ability to deliver all of the features and functions of Amazon's service, including the things you don't see like reliability and scaling. Of course APIs matter, but having a functional standardized cloud service management API doesn't and, I'd argue, never will.
