Links of interest for 13 Feb 2009 - 10 Mar 2009:

• Speeding to a Halt - Wow!!! OpenSolaris shutdown taken from about 41 seconds to a mere 7. Brilliant work here by Dan Price.
• Anatomy of Storage on the GRID - First Joyent, now MediaTemple. It’s great to see large, popular ISPs moving across to OpenSolaris and ZFS to power their grid, hosting and storage offerings.
• HP Joins Solaris Community (Live Free or Die) - This is brilliant news, for Sun and all those HP customers running Solaris (and I know of some big banks on this list). Now I can’t name a single large-scale corporate computer vendor who hasn’t joined the Solaris OEM market. Lets hope this turns into some good returns for Sun.
• OpenSolaris Build 107 for x86/x64/SPARC now available. - Build 107 now available in the dev repository. Be sure to read this release mail before updating as there are several known issues.
• Terabit Ethernet becomes a photonic possibility - Now imagine having your broadband connection running at these speeds.
