Despite Hurricane Irene’s best efforts I finally made it to Las Vegas for VMworld late Monday night and I have to say the joint is jumping. VMworld is starting to feel more like Comdex or Interop in their heyday then a vendor driven education conference. I for one was ecstatic to get back to the days when people were excited about the tech as opposed to the stock price, and the tech talk spread from the show floor and breakout rooms to the craps tables.

IBM has announced a series of 16 Gbps SAN products, as well as enhancements to its existing line of network management software to enable network administrators to manage the new hardware and integrate with the company’s existing line of Tivoli network management software. While IBM is not the first to announce 16 Gbps network storage hardware — computer network equipment maker Brocade was the first to announce a line of 16 Gbps Fibre Channel switches in May 2011 – IBM contends that it will be the first manufacturer to ship 16 Gbps hardware to users.

Network subscription is an acquisition model that lets companies pay for network ports when they are used. As monthly demand changes, the port count and costs rise and fall. This is a good model for companies with large differences between normal and peak usage, though subscribers pay more over time compared to a capital purchase. It is not a fit for companies with small variations in demand. Network Subscription doesn’t include FC ports.

Back on Day 15 I examined Google+ privacy and found a couple things that seemed to be suspicious or give me some reason for concern. I spoke with someone at Google, though, to clear up a few things about Google+ privacy, so for today’s 30 Days With Google+ post I want to clarify my understanding of Google+ privacy.
There are two main concerns I had regarding Google+ privacy–granting permissions in Google+ Games, and the broad scope of the terms of service (ToS) required just to use Google+.
