As I was explaining Gladinet CloudAFS to a group of IT people as a file server with cloud storage attached, one question I got was:
How much bandwidth you need to run file server with cloud storage?
It is very obvious where the concern is coming from. If I had an on-premise file server, with cloud storage attached as tier 2 storage, will the slowness of the Internet (as compared to LAN) slow down the file server activities?
Rest assured, Gladinet CloudAFS takes care of this. Specifically, it takes care of two issues.
A. Slow Internet to the Cloud Storage – that is why it is tier2 storage.
B. There is a glitch, Internet is down.
The secret to both maintain local LAN performance and leverage Cloud Storage is to have a tier 1 storage locally on the hard drive (or NAS or SAN). When people read and write to the file server, it is writing to and reading from the tier 1 storage, thus gives you an impression of local storage because it is indeed local storage.
Gladinet CloudAFS will then schedule transfer to and from the tier 2 storage asynchronously. You can schedule the transfer to be 12 hours later than the tier 1 storage hit so it can happen at night when nobody is working. If the Internet is down at a moment, the transfer will resume and retry later on.
Use Case 1 – File Server Backup
When your Internet is slow or the Internet is not quite reliable, you need to put cloud storage to a more secondary role, such as backup.
In this use case, you can configure Gladinet CloudAFS tier 1 storage to have the same size as tier2 cloud storage. This way, the read/write is always from local and you are guaranteed to have 100% up time and 100% local performance. The cloud storage is something nice to have just in case that your local server crash or out of capacity, you can get it back immediately by provision another CloudAFS server (5 minute install when OS is ready).
The benefit of this use case is that you can always quickly re-provision your file server in case something happens to it.
Use Case 2 – Cloud Storage Gateway
When your Internet is fast and the Internet is reliable, you can put cloud storage to a more prominent role, or on the other hand, put CloudAFS to a more secondary role such as a Cloud Storage Gateway with cache.
For example, if you file server is with Amazon EC2 and your storage is Amazon S3, you know you have fast and reliable connections in between, you have a fit for the Cloud Storage Gateway use case.
Another example, if you are hosting with Peer1 server and also using Peer1's CloudOne storage, you have a fast and reliable connection in between too. This case fit you as well.
In this case, the local cache on the CloudAFS can be smaller than the actual cloud storage capacity.
When the cache is smaller, you will incur cache miss if a read to the CloudAFS server doesn't already have the file locally. This case the file needs to be fetched from the cloud storage over the Internet. Since you have fast and reliable connection, this first time and one time cost is OK.
The benefit of this use case is that you can ship a lot of data over to cloud storage. For example, you can turn local backup software to cloud backup software by pointing the backup destination to CloudAFS.
CloudAFS Parameters
The two biggest parameter for CloudAFS are
A. How big the local cache is. The slower and less reliable the Internet is, the bigger the local cache you will need to assign.
B. Scheduled flush time. CloudAFS use a write-through cache with flush schedule. The slower the Internet you have, the more delay you will need to push the synchronization to night time.
At this time, CloudAFS supports a wide variety of cloud storage providers, including Amazon S3, Windows Azure, Rackspace Cloud Files, EMC Atmos, Mezeo, OpenStack, Nirvanix, AT&T Synaptic Storage, Peer 1 CloudOne and more.
Speed is an important factor when you apply cloud storage to file server. Visit other earlier posts about how to pick a cloud storage providers.

Cheapest Christmas turkey 2012: Morrisons tops our supermarket buys with a £9 bird for a family festive feast
Right at the heart of Christmas tradition, just as important as decorations, a tree and mince pies, is the turkey.
And for those looking to combine their bird with a spot of money-saving, Morrisons has topped the sixth annual
This is Money cheapest Christmas turkey poll with a frugal offering of
£9 for a whole frozen bird, at just £2.80 per kg.
The supermarket beat budget shops Aldi and Lidl to the top place - with both chains charging just 99p more for their frozen birds.
Roasting: The Aldi free range specially selected bird cost £27.99 each. Priced from £5.83 per kg
Taking the crown: This is Money's cheapest turkey round-up is in its six year. Morrisons topped the table.
Each year we round up the cheapest turkeys, but inevitably at prices this low, there will be questions over quality.
We have also rounded up the cheapest free-range birds at the end of the article.
You should also check with a good local butcher, they can often offer both better value and detail on where their meat came from.
This year, for the first time Asda has
lost its cheapest turkey crown - for the past five years the supermarket
has consistently had the lowest price per kg in the frozen category.
This year it is charging £12 for a frozen bird, holding the same price as last Christmas.
While Morrisons has the cheapest whole bird, pound-for kilo, Aldi's is actually cheaper at £2.37 per kg compared to the former's £2.80 per kg
The cost of a Christmas Turkey has gone up by £2 since This is Money first compiled its list in 2007, when Asda charged just £1.67 per kg, or £7 per bird, for its festive fare.
That represents a 29 per cent rise in the cost of a whole bird to the Morrisons turkey, or a 42 per cent rise pound-for-kilo to the Aldi one.
Festive feast: Aldi's standard bird (pictured) came top of the poll for fresh birds. It costs £19.99 for a 4.8kg bird.
Cheapest fresh turkeys: Aldi takes top spot
Households this year can expect to pay £20 for a medium-sized fresh bird, according to the research.
Budget supermarket Aldi came out top for the standard bird category, with its whole British fresh medium turkey £19.99, at £4.16 per kg for an 4.8kg bird, serving between six and eight people. It is also the cheapest pound-per-kilo fresh turkey.
The turkey is just 1p cheaper than the average price at rival supermarket Tesco, which is selling a 5.3kg bird for £20.
Chart: Aldi topped the This is Money cheapest Christmas poll for fresh birds - it costs £19.99 for a 4.8kg turkey.
Last year's winner Morrisons came
third with its medium fresh turkey for £21 - a 4.2kg bird serving 7 to 8 people.
The cost of a standard turkey has fallen from last year when the cheapest standard fresh turkey from Morrisons set back shoppers £5 per kg, compared to this year with Aldi's £4.16.
Asda and Lidl could only supply prices for their frozen turkeys as prices are yet to be announced for their fresh ranges.
At the other end of the table it was,
perhaps surprisingly, the Co-operative who are selling the
most expensive bird using the pound per kilo calculation. Its British Elmwood fresh medium turkey could cost up to £6.90 per
kg, as it has just one set price of £21 not matter the size of the bird.
The turkey ranges from 3.05kg to 4.73kg in weight but is only sold with the £21 price tag - this means that those unlucky customers who get a small variety of the bird could be paying up to £6.90 per kilo.
A spokesman from the Co-operative said that its 'fresh and frozen own-brand turkeys and turkey crowns are the retailer's higher-welfare British Elmwood standard or above, which guarantees perfectly tender, succulent, moist and flavoursome meat - perfect for a Christmas dinner centrepiece.'
Marks and Spencer is the second most expensive for its £5.89 per kg turkey – with a £27.95 price tag for a 4.75kg bird.
While Ocado and Waitrose came in joint third place with Waitrose's fresh standard turkey.
Breast buy: Our This is Money poll found that Morrisons had the cheapest frozen Christmas turkey at just £9
Where to get the cheapest free range turkey
At the other end of the price spectrum it was Aldi's Specially Selected turkey, costing £5.83 per kg which topped the free range category with the lowest price.
While Tesco's finest bronze turkey coming in second best place at an average of £6.90 per kg.
The most expensive supermarket is Waitrose, for its bronze feathered free range turkey, at £10.49 per kg.
spokesman for Waitrose told This is Money: 'All of our turkeys (fresh
and frozen) are British and from farmers with high welfare standards.
Put simply the better we look after our birds, the tastier the meat they
eventually produce.'
'Although the cost of feed has risen significantly, we ensure that our farmers are still paid a fair price.'

We were there just for one night. The booking was really spontanious but ererything worked well. Beds and Bathroom were clean. There was a problem with the flush and Linda helped us immediately! Linda was even very helpfull wiht advertises what to do around Cahersiveen. The Irish Breakfast was the first one I've had and it was good.
My experience at O'Sheas was great. The host was very accommodating and the location was handy for visiting all areas of the Ring of Kerry.
Linda and her father were great in every little detail. During my stay, they offered me huge breakfasts, and then asked if it was enough.
They helped me to find the best thing to do in two days in Caherciveen — the fourts are very nice and worth a walk— and some nice places to eat.
The main goal of my staying was trying to go to Skellig island, but due to weather conditions — wind was quite strong —, the boat didn't depart. Instead Linda told me about Valentia Island, that is quite near and reachable by a short trip by ferry, and this "b plan" was a quite nice surprise indeed! Valentia is wonderful.
Linda also helped me to get the best connection to Dingle — she has better information than bus éireann... ;) — which made my trip get shortened 2h. Great! Thank you Linda and Patrick for all the help!
My family had a great time at O'Sheas B&B. Very nice hosts and a very central location for exploring Caherciveen. The Irish breakfast was a great way to start the morning!
Hi Molly
Thanks for a lovely review, Your family should of joined us in the sitting room around the stove after a busy day of meeting relatives and exploring South Kerry, I thought they were out in the Pub I didn't hear them come in. There is a sitting room also for guests in the front of the house. looking forward to meeting you all again. Linda
Friendly, excellent value and very comfortable. Perfect base for exploring the peninsula. Will be returning when I am next in the area.
If you're looking for a place to stay on your journey around the ring of Kerry, then I can highly recommend staying at Linda and Pat's B&B. Very friendly, clean and well located... a great value! Thank you Linda and Pat for your help with the Skelligs (even if I didn't get to the island, the Ring of Skellig was a gorgeous drive). Cheers, Michel
Patrick O'Shea ((website hidden)(phone number hidden).html) received us very kindly. We had a large room, the shower and toilet were small but ok. Although the room was facing the street, this was no problem. The breakfast was good. Patrick had answered all our questions patiently. The B & B is centrally located, shops and pubs are nearby. The place is a good starting point for excursions.

This Valentine's Day, several brothers woke up bright and early to spend the day helping to build a house in nearby Wayland, MA, volunteering at Habitat for Humanity of MetroWest/Greater Worcester. Braving frigid temperatures and an impending blizzard, the volunteers had a great time assisting in the interior framing of the future duplex's basement and first floor.
Pictured (from left): Jack McCullough, Max Sminkey, Zach Parrella, and Sean Holmes.
This past weekend brothers of Beta Gamma Epsilon volunteered with the American Diabetes Association's Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes event in the Boston Common. A big thanks to all of the volunteers who came out on Saturday to make clean up a walk in the park! Below, Ryan Pembroke, Pankil Modi, and Zac Boulerice help move extra boxes of food after the event.
Over this past Columbus Day weekend, brothers volunteered for the Active Minds Color Run, which promotes awareness for mental health. Brothers had a great time manning the color stations and even had some fun of their own.
We would like to recognize & congratulate our brothers on their impressive accomplishments and ambitious future plans. Pictured from left to right:
Nicholas Candelino, David Karol, Gregory Pellegrini, Thomas Hayes, William Abildgaard Jr., Brian Quatrale, Jesse Mitchell, Patrick Rice, and (not pictured) Jordan Tocher
Please click "Read More" in the bottom right corner to see details about our recent graduates' accomplishments and future plans.
Beta Gamma Epsilon extends its condolences, thoughts and prayers to the victims and families of the tragic events that occurred on Marathon Monday. As we grieve with our city, we would like to thank the citizens, first responders, police, National Guard and other government agencies for their heroic actions and diligent efforts in keeping us safe.
The house received a major update last summer with the reconstruction of the roof. This was a huge accomplishment for the brotherhood and the Alumni Association, who worked very hard to raise funds and complete the project. This work will ensure that we may enjoy our home on Commonwealth Avenue for many years to come. Below is a photo of the crane used to hoist materials up 4 floors to the roof.
The brotherhood gathered for its annual Thanksgiving dinner this past fall, giving thanks for the house we call a home and the health and happiness of our brothers and families. Two deep fried turkeys along with a collection of succulent sides left the brothers in a sleepy bliss. As we approached final exams, it was a relaxing and joyful evening spent amongst friends.
Another holiday season has come and gone, and the brotherhood gathered once again for its annual Christmas dinner. Brothers donned their formal wear while their dates looked stunning in their holiday dresses. The night proceeded with eating, dancing and celebrating the successful ending to another semester. As always, the Christmas dinner was one of the highlights of 2012 and continues to be a favorite of the brothers.
During the Fall 2012 semester, brothers volunteered with the American Diabetes Association in their annual Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes event. Members assisted with the teardown of the event at the Boston Commons after thousands of walkers gathered to raise funds and awareness for diabetes research. BGE was pleased to develop its relationship with the ADA, and will be looking to participate in other events with them.
Brothers took a trip to Skyzone in January to take a break from their school work and have some fun. Huge floors of trampolines had the men of BGE feeling like kids again, jumping and flipping through the air. There is even a trampoline dodgeball arena! If you are looking to get some exercise and have a lot of fun, we highly recommend taking a trip over to Skyzone Boston.

A searing family memoir of a tempestuous Texas boyhood that led to the vicious murder of the author's brother As William Faulkner said, "The past is not dead, it's not even past." This observation seems especially true in matters of family, when the fury between generations is often never resolved and instead secretly carried, a wound that cannot heal. For David Berg, this is truer than for most, and once you read the story of his family, you will understand why he held it privately for so long and why the betrayals between parent and child can be the most wrenching of all.
In 1968 David Berg's brother, Alan, was murdered by Charles Harrelson, a notorious hit man and father of actor Woody Harrelson. Alan was only thirty-one when he disappeared; six months later his remains were found in a ditch in Texas. Run, Brother, Run is Berg's story of the murder. But it is also his account of the psychic destruction of the Berg family by the author's father, who allowed a grievous blunder at the age of twenty-three to define his life. The event changed the fate of a clan and fell most heavily on Alan, the firstborn son, who tried to both redeem and escape his father yet could not.
This achingly painful family history is also a portrait of an iconic American place, playing out in the shady bars of Houston, in small-town law offices and courtrooms, and in remote ranch lands where bad things happen—a true-crime murder drama, all perfectly calibrated. Writing with cold-eyed grief and a wild, lacerating humor, Berg tells us first about the striving Jewish family that created Alan Berg and set him on a course for self-destruction and then about the gross miscarriage of justice that followed.
As with the best and most powerfully written memoirs, the author has kept this horrific story to himself for a long time. A scrappy and pugnacious narrator, Berg takes his account into the darkest human behaviors: the epic battles between father and son, marital destruction, reckless gambling, crooked legal practices, extortion, and, of course, cold-blooded murder. Run, Brother, Run is a raw, furious, bawdy, and scathing testimonial about love, hate, and pain— and utterly unforgettable.
David Berg has tried virtually every kind of civil and criminal case to a verdict, from murder to patent infringement, and he has won hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements. He has been recognized as one of the "Best Lawyers in America" in nine practice areas. His 2003 book, The Trial Lawyer: What It Takes to Win, is one of the American Bar Association's bestselling books. In addition, David has published articles and essays in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Litigation Magazine and The Houston Chronicle. He lives in Houston and New York with his wife.
Laywer David Berg's new memoir reveals the story of his most dramatic case. Run, Brother, Run is about the 1968 murder of Berg's brother, Alan, allegedly by Charles Harrelson â?? the father of actor Woody Harrelson â?? who was ultimately acquitted. More at NPR.org

"David Berg has written a funny and haunting memoir of a very particular family in a very particular place and time. It is also a universally American story of hope in the face of defeat.? Suffused with a tragic sense of humor and deep pathos, one can't help but think of Willy Loman with a Texas twang when reading Run, Brother, Run."
-Jon Meacham
"David Berg has written a book that makes me think I?e(TM)d like to be friends with him. No book that I?e(TM)ve encountered so far this year has a voice that is as assured and entertaining as Berg?e(TM)s in this uncanny, addictive memoir."
-Claiborne Smith, features editor
?eoeBerg is a very fine writer ?e" thorough, lucid and logical, but never dry. The emotional resonance and sheer vital force of this story extend far beyond its pages. It is the story of a bond so strong that his older brother's absence still wakes Berg up in the middle of the night.?e
"Berg writes with brio, vividly sketching the roughhouse atmosphere of oil-boom Houston in the 1960s, and the obstacles that faced a pair of liberal, Jewish brothers in the segregated South. While he is often funny, and rarely politically correct, Berg also delivers a complex take on family dynamics and the ways in which intelligent people can be deceived."
?eoeHaving interviewed surviving witnesses, lawyers, and family, he reconstructs the short life of his reckless brother and tells about his own coming-of-age in a brutally frank family memoir that will attract readers of true crime?e
"Run, Brother, Run is a fascinating look at a Texas family's history, written in darkly humorous, direct and powerful prose. Trial lawyers are known for being smooth talkers, but Berg proves himself a graceful writer as well."
?eoeRun, Brother, Run is a home run for David Berg andhis readers. Part memoir, part mystery, it's all of a piece?e"a true story ofHouston that's impossible to put down.?e
-Mimi Swartz
?eoeWe are in Mary Karr memoir territory here, in Texas noless, with parents behaving badly and children behaving even worse. DavidBerg's superb tale of his brother's shocking murder is true crime at its mostintimate, and most personal.?e
-S. C. Gwynne
"Berg's story is compelling?e"and leaves you convinced that the truth did not prevail."
?eoeThis book has everything?e?The story is filled with the dusty small town criminal wheeling and dealings of a Grisham novel, and there?e(TM)s plenty of courtroom drama. The book inhabits the worlds of Texas, Washington DC, Las Vegas and Hollywood. Berg knows how to keep an audience engrossed.?e
"Searing, funny, heartbreaking?e"and true. Berg?e(TM)s tale of a brother?e(TM)s murder, miscarried justice, and savage Texas suburban family life kept me riveted from the first page.?e
-Marie Brenner
"An engrossing family history and an appealingly salacious tale, related in a bemused tone that does not hide the social ugliness and personal heartbreak underneath."
"What is remarkable about the book, though, is Mr. Berg?e(TM)s writing. He elegantly brings to life the rough-and-tumble boomtown that was 1960s-era Houston, and conveys with unflinching force the emotional damage his brother?e(TM)s death did to his family."

Comment: Re:Have any of the people griping USED COBOL? (Score 1) 256
by gauss72 (#43772009) Attached to: IBM Takes System/z To the Cloud With COBOL Update
One of the wisdoms I got from my education at HP Germany was "quality is tested into hardware". And with any real software, it is exactly the same. Or maybe should I say "even worse" ? The biggest investment is always testing, bug fixing, validation programs, test vectors, test vector generators, code reviews and so on. Initially the HP MPE operating system was very unreliable, but decades of bug fixing and refining made it into one of the most reliable operating systems.

Hello Honored Members of AO,
It is your favorite Monk back with a new topic. Are you not excited? Haha. Anyways...
What is wrong with teens in these times of the world? Come on! All that I hear is complaints, more complaints, and even more complaints about life. Depression, emoness, boredom, and other sorts of things of similar lines are overtaking teens' (even adults') minds at most places like school, and even at forums. Why not take life as a challenge, and get out there in the world to have some fun? Okay...
Lecture time is over, now it is time for some questions.
Why do you think teens, now-a-days, are viewing life in a negative way? What are some of the causes? Is there anything that we all can do to stay up with our lives with a positive outlook? Like maybe doing something. And, how do you do, as a teen or adult, look at life, in general?
Your thoughts & opinions.
P.S. No offense is intended at anyone! If you think otherwise, I am sincerely sorry.

A music teacher at a government school in Jehangirpuri here has been arrested for allegedly molesting five teenaged girls studying in the school.
The teacher, Vijay Kumar (38), was arrested on Tuesday afternoon following protests by angry locals and the victims' parents.
The teacher sexually harassed the girls during a music class on Monday.
"The girls, aged between 14 and 15 years, went home and narrated the incident to their parents. The parents came to the school in the morning and demanded that the principal let them meet the music teacher. Instead, the principal warned them against registering an FIR and asked them to leave the premises. The parents then staged a protest in the school," said a police officer.
The police said the ruckus started around 11 a.m. and went on for two hours. "The situation soon turned ugly after the locals joined in and started pelting stones and bricks at the school building. They tried to damage school property but we managed to stop them by deploying extra force around the school," the officer added.
Following the violence, the police arrested 18 men and five women.
