One container to rule them all? No. Um, a plastic box* refresher

Great article, thanks Liam. Looking forward to the next one that covers "radical changes in Linux distro design, which we will look at in the next article.".

Hyper-converged prospects? Thanks to firm-gobbling habit and OEM deal, Dell has 3

Re: Product overload

So re E7 CPU – are these workloads really a workload of the future?

With our dev friends pushing containerisation as apps get re architected in a micro services world the scale up requirements of a monolithic app world start to diminish.

This is where the scale out approach of HCI with API access to a software defined infrastructure makes so much sense.

I actually agree that some 4 socket options would be handy for customers that like the approach but have legacy apps that still require the CPU/memory footprint of an E7 approach – they would like to adopt HCI, but are struggling to refactor their apps.

What “data services” do you think are missing from todays HCI solutions?

And can’t help but chuckle and think you’re correct re full circle.

Re: Am I the only one

What solution are you talking about with low spec CPU?

If you look at a Dell XC solution, you can have E5-2643 v4 - 3.4GHz,6Core

Or maybe you want cores, then E5-2698 v4 - 2.2GHz, 20Core

Not really low spec?
