Links of interest for 15 Mar 2009 - 24 Mar 2009:

• Internet Archive to unveil massive Wayback Machine data center - Oooo, and it's in a Sun Modular Datacentre (aka Project Blackbox) running Solaris 10 and ZFS.
• The 'IBM buys Sun' story | Paul Murphy | ZDNet.com - Interesting point of view on what's happening with these rumours. The last paragraph in this article could be the deal breaker though.
• Heat Map Analytics - Brendan Gregg and Bryan Cantril have far too much free time. The end of this article has a interesting bit about writing a program that generates artificial workload that allows them to print words in 8 point text Analytics of the Sun Storage 7000 series arrays
• Sun to Deploy South Africa's Largest Supercomputer at the Centre for High Performance Computing - It's quite comforting to hear Sun being selected in my home country. When I was living in SA, Sun was an almost unheard of entity. Good to see things are changing.
• TPC Benchmarks Don't Matter Anymore by Noel Yuhanna - Forrester Research - Welcome to the party. Sun have been saying this for years.
