Leviathan Servers

Asides

Leviathan toys with Zeus. Part I. A mythic allegory describing what Joyent perceives as an evolution from the Google model of cheap generic boxes running Linux (back) to Sun hardware and software with virtulization, new file systems, and new boxes with dozens of CPUs. A great post, even if you don’t agree with the conclusions. (I’m still on the fence.)

    I got a headache reading that. Giant metaphors suck.

    Just four months ago they were bashing hard on Sun. Of course, I’m glad they’re moving to a more stable architecture, for selfish reasons.
