    I’m not one to usually say TGIF, but boy, this has been quite a week! On Tuesday, March 16, the FCC sent its national broadband plan to congress. Reportedly, close to 100 million Americans lack broadband at home today. The Plan urges a mandate to do more to link people and the economy to broadband’s ‘transformative benefits.’ The plan also calls for, among other things, affordable access in American communities to ultra-high-speed broadband of at least 1 gigabit per second. Yes, folks, it’s not just the times that are a-changing. It’s also the way we…

In case you missed it, a competitor recently released a report they commissioned that shows that their blade system offered better throughput than the Cisco UCS because of what they…
