Interop: Don’t sweat 802.11ac Wi-Fi – because 802.11ad will knock your socks off article tells that industry experts at Interop NY already look beyond the coming advent of 802.11ac. While the Wi-Fi world is rightly abuzz over the rapidly approaching large-scale deployment of the new 802.11ac standard, experts at an Interop NY panel said today →
Intel finds dunking a server in a bath of nonconductive oil may be an ideal cooling solution. Of course, this “new” way of cooling a server isn’t exactly novel. →
Without Ethernet our networked world would cease to exist. It’s the ubiquitous standard for local area networks. The internet is probably Ethernet’s greatest triumph. Practically every server that delivers content to the internet is networked via Ethernet. Without Ethernet development the internet will choke. Society is moving to a new level of interconnectedness that’s built →
