Network Performance Daily: Performance-Driven: Why enterprise developers (generally) use Java and game programmers (generally) use C++
“Gaming programmers are performance-oriented to the extreme, because if you release a game and it’s slow, no one is going to use it no matter how cool it is or how many features it has. Other programmers often code first for functionality, and at the end of the cycle, start to worry about performance issues. Game programmers need optimized performance from the get-go. This means game programmers are willing to forgo certain things. For example, the enterprise side of the software world was very quick to move to Java when it first came out, but the game programmers didn’t.”
IT-Director.com: Getting to grips with power
“Lack of focus on power usage may also be attributed to there typically being no profit and loss (P&L) explicitly covering this. If there were, realisation of the costs being incurred would surely bring about rapid change.”
Computer World: Virtualization dangers and how to avoid them
“The potential benefits of virtualization are driving the rush to consolidate entire data centers. Our work with customers, however, suggests there are risks to consider. Those risks fall into four categories…”
Partnership announcements highlight the business benefits of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
“What is more certain is that as more providers of technologies that support SOA start educating the end users, illustrating the service side through business value propositions rather than technology arguments, Service Oriented Architectures will gain traction in businesses of all sizes.”
Ripping Out the Wires: VARs mine new wireless-solution opportunities in the enterprise
“‘The enterprise wireless market is just beginning to ripen,’ notes William Clark, research vice president at Gartner. ‘The types of resellers that stand to gain the most are the ones able to provide sophisticated, integrated packages, software expertise and help-desk support,’ he says, adding that providers relying exclusively on the resale of wireless devices won’t fare nearly as well.”
