Hyper-V Wins Reader Vote in ZDNet’s “Hyper-V or VMware?” Debate

ZDNet readers have spoken, voting in favor of Hyper-V 54% to 46%, as part of a lively discussion between Jason Perlow and Ken Hess in this week’s ZDNet Great Debate: “Hyper-V or VMware?”

Advocating for Hyper-V, Jason Perlow made a strong argument emphasizing the robust feature set as well as the superior price point of Microsoft’s Private Cloud, concluding that “2013 will be a big year for Microsoft as CIOs examine the licensing bottom line and evaluate the value that Hyper-V brings as a complete end-to-end virtual infrastructure and private cloud solution”.

Check out the full debate on ZDNet and thank you to everyone that voted!

Η Microsoft υπέβαλε επίσημη καταγγελία του δικαίου του ανταγωνισμού με την Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή (ΕΚ) ενάντια στη Motorola Mobility και το Google. Ακολουθεί το άρθρο

από τον Dave Heiner  Vice President & Deputy General Counsel, Corporate Standards & Antitrust Group, Microsoft

http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoft_on_the_issues/archive/2012/02/21/google-please-don-t-kill-video-on-the-web.aspxω

Posted by Dave Heiner
Vice President & Deputy General Counsel, Corporate Standards & Antitrust Group, Microsoft

Earlier today, Microsoft filed a formal competition law complaint with the European Commission (EC) against Motorola Mobility and Google. We have taken this step because Motorola is attempting to block sales of Windows PCs, our Xbox game console and other products. Their offense? These products enable people to view videos on the Web and to connect wirelessly to the Internet using industry standards.

You probably take for granted that you can view videos on your smartphone, tablet, PC, or DVD/Blu-ray player and connect to the Internet without being tied to a cable. That works because the industry came together years ago to define common technical standards that every firm can use to build compatible products for video and Wi-Fi. Motorola and all the other firms that contributed to these standards also made a promise to one another: that if they had any patents essential to the standards, they would make their patents available on fair and reasonable terms, and would not use them to block competitors from shipping their products.

Motorola has broken its promise. Motorola is on a path to use standard essential patents to kill video on the Web, and Google as its new owner doesn’t seem to be willing to change course.

In legal proceedings on both sides of the Atlantic, Motorola is demanding that Microsoft take its products off the market, or else remove their standards-based ability to play video and connect wirelessly. The only basis for these actions is that these products implement industry standards, on which Motorola claims patents. Yet when the industry adopted these standards, we all were counting on Motorola and every contributor to live up to their promises. Watching video on the Web is one of the primary uses of computers these days. And we’ve all grown accustomed to “anytime, anywhere” access to the Internet, often made possible by the Wi-Fi standard. Imagine what a step back it would be if we could no longer watch videos on our computing devices or connect via Wi-Fi, or if only some products, but not others, had these capabilities. That would defeat the whole purpose of an industry standard.

The European Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice are both focused on this problem. At the urging of competition law officials, Microsoft recently announced that it will not seek injunctions against other firms’ products on the basis of standard essential products (and Microsoft had never done so). Apple and Cisco made similar statements. Unfortunately, Google refused. Not surprisingly, the European Commission does not seem to be satisfied. Joaquin Almunia, the European Union’s Competition Commissioner, said “I can assure you that the Commission will take further action if warranted to ensure that the use of standard essential patents by all players in the sector is fully compliant with EU competition law and with the FRAND commitments given to standard setting organisations.” The Department of Justice issued a similar statement. We know other companies in the industry share our concerns. Last week, Apple filed its own complaint against Motorola with the European Commission.

There is an obvious way out of all this. Motorola should honor its promises, and make its standard essential patents available on fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory (FRAND) terms. Microsoft is certainly prepared to pay a fair and reasonable price for use of others’ intellectual property. Within just the past few years, Microsoft has entered into more than a thousand patent licenses. We know how it’s done.

Unfortunately, Motorola has refused to make its patents available at anything remotely close to a reasonable price. For a $1,000 laptop, Motorola is demanding that Microsoft pay a royalty of $22.50 for its 50 patents on the video standard, called H.264. As it turns out, there are at least 2,300 other patents needed to implement this standard. They are available from a group of 29 companies that came together to offer their H.264 patents to the industry on FRAND terms. Microsoft’s patent royalty to this group on that $1,000 laptop?

Two cents.

That’s right. Just 2 cents for use of more than 2,300 patents. (Windows qualifies for a nice volume discount, but no firm has to pay more than 20 cents per unit.) Motorola is demanding that Microsoft pay more than 1,000 times that for use of just 50 patents.

And that is for a mid-level, $1,000 laptop. For a $2,000 laptop, Motorola is demanding double the royalty - $45. Windows is the same on both laptops, and so is the video support in Windows. But the high-end laptop will have a bigger hard drive, more memory, perhaps a titanium case—and Motorola is demanding a hefty royalty on all of this, even though none of these features implements Motorola’s video patents.

Imagine if every firm acted like Motorola. Windows implements more than 60 standards, and a PC supports about 200. If every firm priced its standard essential patents like Motorola, the cost of the patents would be greater than all the other costs combined in making PCs, tablets, smartphones and other devices. Obviously, this would greatly increase the prices of these devices for consumers.

How does Motorola justify this pricing, for so few patents? In German court proceedings earlier this month, Motorola’s economics expert likened Motorola’s patents to bullets: “It only takes one bullet to kill,” he testified. At least we know what this particular lawsuit is trying to accomplish.

Google says that it is just trying to protect manufacturers of Android devices against patent actions by Microsoft and others. But there are big differences between Google’s approach and Microsoft’s. Microsoft is not seeking to block Android manufacturers from shipping products on the basis of standard essential patents. Rather, Microsoft is focused on infringement of patents that it has not contributed to any industry standard. And Microsoft is making its patents—standard essential and otherwise—available to all Android manufacturers on fair and reasonable terms. In fact, more than 70 percent of Android devices are now licensed to use Microsoft’s patent portfolio.

Google has a chance to make a change. For a company so publicly committed to protecting the Internet, one might expect them to join the growing consensus against using standard essential patents to block products. Every firm that is willing to pay a fair royalty ought to be able to implement industry standards. Adherence to this basic point is essential to keeping computer costs down and preserving the Internet as an open, interoperable platform.

Google’s unwillingness so far to make this commitment is very concerning. That’s why you can pretty well count on a chorus from across the industry: “Google: Please don’t kill video on the Web.”

nextp Στο παραπάνω post μου που αναφέρω για το Format ( Format ... No More !!! ) και στο ποιο πάνω http://autoexec.gr/forums/permalink/38742/38705/ShowThread.aspx#38705 

ΔΕΝ  αναφερόμουν προσωπικά σε εσένα αλλά ήθελα να δώσω μια διαφορετική προσέγγιση για περιπτώσεις αντιμετώπισης προβλημάτων.

Oπότε η συζήτηση είναι γενική και συνιστω ΨΥΧΡΑΙΜΙΑ !!!

Δεν ήθελα να θίξω κανέναν και φυσικα όχι εσένα δε αναφερόμουν προσωπικά . []

Δηλαδή θέλω να πω ότι το Format δεν αποτελεί αποδεκτή λύση Troubleshooting και το έχω αναφέρει και σε άλλα post μου παλιότερα.

Αλλιώς κανείς δεν θα έγραφε χιλιάδες σελίδες σε βιβλία με Debugging και Troubleshooting μεθοδολογίες.

Θα σου έλεγε σε 2 λέξεις Problem Solution : Format - Re-Install.

Και επίσης δεν θα ήθελα κάποιος που θα διαβάσει αυτό το thread να μείνει με την εντύπωση ότι η λύση του προβλήματος σου είναι το FORMAT.

Σε ISP , τράπεζες που το Downtime δεν υπάρχει ως έννοια δηλαδή έχουν αδιαβλητη λειτουργία στις υπηρεσίες τους, αν πχ ένας παραγωγικός Server με X υπηρεσίες έχει πρόβλημα με ένα Component και τους πει κάποιος να κανουν Format στο Server για να επιλύσουν το πρόβλημα δεν νομίζω να έχουν την ίδια γνώμη.

Γιατί ακόμη και τα reboot γινόνται προγραμματισμένα βράδυ ή ξημερώματα για να μην είναι εμφανές το Downtime ( του reboot ... ) σε τράπεζες και ISP.

Ενας Senior Escalation Systems Engineer της Microsoft ή αλλού που κάνει Support σε Escalated Issues  έχει φάει άπειρες ώρες σε επίλυση προβλημάτων , είναι καλός με διάφορες μεθοδολογίες επίλυσης προβλημάτων troubleshooting σε Windows Server.

Αλλά σου δίνει γρήγορα λύση σε ένα πρόβλημα γιατί το έχει δει πολλές φορές εχει πείρα.

Την πρώτη φορά που αντιμετώπισε το πρόβλημα μπορεί να του πήρε 1 μερα την επόμενη 1 ωρα και τώρα το λύνει σε 5 min.

Είπες και κάτι άλλο που δεν συμφωνώ

Costas σε καλοσορίζω στο autoexec.gr !!!

Άρθρο σε Microsoft News Center : Film Industry Selects Windows Azure for High-Capacity Business Needs

REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 24, 2012

Οι διοργανωτές του Screen Actors Guild (SAG) επέλεξαν το Windows Azure ως Cloud Platform ώστε να έχουν την δυνατότητα εκμεταλλευόμενοι την Microosft Cloud Technology να ανταπεξέλθουν στο αυξημένο traffic κατά την διάρκεια της ετήσιας απονομής βραβείων 2012 SAG Awards .

Η διοργανώτρια αρχή συνεργάστηκε στενά με την Μicrosoft ώστε να διασφαλιστεί η αποβλημάτιστη μεταφορά των δεδομένων του 2012 SAG Awards Site από τους Linux Servers που το φιλοξενούσαν στο Windows Azure Cloud Platform.

Με την χρησιμοποίηση του Windows Azure ως πλατφόρμα φιλοξενείας του Awards Site είχαν πλέον την δυνατότητα να εκμεταλλευτούν την μεγαλύτερη χωρητικότητα αποθήκευσης και την δυνατότητα να διαχειριστούν και να ανταπεξέλθουν  χωρίς πρόβληματα καθυστερήσεων σε μεγαλύτερο όγκο traffic , visits και page views την βραδια τις απονομής των Βραβείων Screen Actors Guild Awards 27/1/2012 .

Πριν να μεταφέρουν το Awards Site στα Windows Azure σε προηγούμενες απονομές βραβείων είχαν προβλήματα απόκρισης από τους Linux Servers κατα την διάρκεια της βραδιάς λόγω της αύξησης της επισκεψιμότητας στο Site.

Για να αντιμετωπίσουν τα προβλήματα καθυστερήσεων του Awards Site που ήταν σε Linux Servers προχωρούσαν σε αναβαθμίσεις Hardware στους Servers.

Από την άλλη πλευρά το Windows Azure ως Cloud Platform τους παρείχε low latency στα αυξανόμενα Requests , δυνατότητα επεκτασιμότητας του Storage λόγω του μεγάλου όγκου Videos που έπρεπε να κάνουν Upload, και γενικά την δυνατότητα για Scale Up ή Scale Down όποτε θέλουν ανάλογα των αναγκών τους σε σχέση με τον όγκο του traffic.

Στα φετινά 2012 SAG Awards είχαν τα εξής στατιστικά στοιχεία επισκεψιμότητας για το Award Site : 325.403 Total Website Visits και 789.310 Page Views.

Σε σχέση με τα στατιστικά στοιχεία επισκεψιμότητας  του περυσινού 2011 SAG Awards τα οποία ήταν 222.816 Total Website Visits and 434.743 Page Views ειναι φανερό ότι υπήρξε σημαντική αύξηση στην επισκεψιμότητας στην οποία συνέβαλε το Windows Azure ως Cloud Platform φιλοξενείας του Site.

 

Total Website Visits / Page Views	2011 SAG Awards	2012 SAG Awards
Total Website Visits	222.816	325.403
Page Views	434.743	789.310

 

“We moved to Windows Azure after looking at the services it offered,” said Erin Griffin, chief information officer at SAG. “Understanding the best usage scenario for us took time and effort, but with help from Microsoft, we successfully moved our site to Windows Azure, and the biggest traffic day for us went off with flying colors.”

“Windows Azure is committed to making it easier for customers to use cloud computing to address their specific needs,” said Doug Hauger, general manager, Windows Azure Business Development at Microsoft. “For the entertainment industry, that means deploying creative technology solutions that are flexible, easy to implement and cost-effective for whatever opportunities our customers can dream up.”
