Today, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced the formation of the MIT Kerberos Consortium to further fund and steer the development of Kerberos beyond what MIT has been able to achieve to date supporting this protocol with its own internal IT staff.
This Consortium is a great idea that will bring more partners, developers and standards work into play for MIT Kerberos. One has to pause to celebrate the accomplishments of the impressive internal IT staff at MIT who have helped this small internal project become an important part of every major operating system, the core to thousands of enterprises’ security infrastructure and a solution used by hundreds of millions of users.

I was invited to do a presentation at the High Performance on Wall Street conference in New York City on September 17 to discuss Red Hat’s realtime development project. For the benefit of those not in attendence, I’ll briefly recap the main points of my talk here.
My main intention was to help the audience become more informed. I consider this important because realtime offerings have been getting a lot of buzz lately, but the term itself and true benefits of realtime are often not well understood. Realtime is a great fit for many deployments, but it is not a silver bullet for all performance woes. The more informed the customer is, the better prepared they are to follow the right path to their performance objectives.

Not many people think of virtualization as a way to make applications run faster. In fact, the general assumption is that things are likely to be a little slower, hopefully not too much, but that the other advantages easily outweight the performance drop.
OK, so virtualization does cost some performance. But with the para-virtualization in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, we are seeing very small drops. Of course it’s application dependent, but single-digit percentage points seem to be the norm. Given the increased operational flexibility, for most this is absolutely a cost worth bearing. Bottom line: it makes sense to run any Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 system with paravirtualized guests.

Red Hat, in conjunction with the open source community, released JBoss ESB 4.2, a JBoss.org open source project. JBoss ESB 4.2 intermediates interactions between enterprise applications, business services, business components and middleware to integrate and enable automation of business processes. JBoss ESB 4.2 supports various messaging products for transport, component models as SOA end points, data integration from Hibernate and MetaMatrix federated data sources and data transformation for seamless communication. JBoss ESB 4.2 provides a registry for service discovery and integration. JBoss ESB 4.2 is designed to enable simple to advanced SOA governance software from the open source community and commercial software vendors such as AmberPoint and SOA SW.
