Hi folks,

After last month''s Xen meeting, we''re following up with a
presentation by
Sunay Tripathi, architect of Crossbow, a network virtualization, which
greatly improves resource control, performance and network utilization 
needed
to achieve true OS virtualization, utility computing and server
consolidation.

I''m sure that other folks from the Crossbow team will show up, such as
Kais
Belgaied, the tech lead, Michael Lim (presented last year on IP Filters),
Eric Cheng, Nicolas Droux, et al...this is yet another talent packed team
within Sun who is raising the bar on networking, taking it to the next 
level.

This is truely amazing and innovative technology, the type of technology 
that
changes the industry. I see Crossbow as taking networking to the next 
level,
just as ZFS does for filesystems, DTrace does for system development, or
Zones does for system virtualization. Crossbow is like having Zones for 
your
NIC.

The meeting is back to the 4th Thurs. this month, and we''ll be meeting
this
week on Thursday, August 24th at 7:30pm.

We might be able to get a demo of Xen which was presented last month, 
but no
guarantees yet, you''ll need to show up and see if that happens.

We will have a call-in number so that remote folks can hear and be a 
part of
our meeting. Please use the call-in info below. This is limted to the first
125 users.
