Free f5 seminar in Osaka

Posted by stoyan

From some time I’m interested from f5’s BIG-IP like a load balancing with failover solution for our network. Found interesting post with BIG-IP features :

  • It runs Linux kernel 2.4 in conjunction with some microkernel OS that F5 calls TMOS.
  • Customized, interactive monitors for server availability can be written in Perl.
  • Traffic flow can be modified using Tcl scripts. Basically anything can be inspected and modified, on TCP level as well as HTTP.

Next week there will be free f5 seminar in Osaka . Already made a registration.

BlackDog Linux Personal Server

via Ho John Lee’s Weblog :

The BlackDog server turns out to be an interesting hybrid of a putting Linux on a USB flash device and putting an embedded Linux into a USB device. The actual device is around the size and weight of a pack of cards, and runs Debian Linux on a 400MHz PowerPC, drawing power from the USB interface.

Interesting to have this with Ruby and RoR installed.
