Madhur Kohli if former VP of Engineering at Levanta. He has over 20 years of experience in complex enterprise computing systems architecture and realization, including 17 years at Bell Communications Research and Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, where he directed and contributed to R&D in Policy Based Management, Parallel and Distributed Computing, Real-Time Databases, IP Telephony and Messaging systems.
He is also widely published, with over 30 refereed papers in research conferences and journals.
In 2006 IDC released a study showing that the costs associated with data
center management escalate at an alarming rate – in large part because of
rising software management expenses. For users of Linux in the data center,
these costs can be striking, since expenditures for management software can
run four times the cost of procuring the hardware and operating system.
The growing systems management costs underlie a bigger evolution at the heart
of modern data centers. In years past, data centers were predominantly
composed of big iron – mainframes or large Unix computers that could scale
with the addition of a few powerful servers. These servers were part of a
homogeneous operating system environment – and as a result could be managed
centrally, keeping management costs relatively low.
But then Linux exploded on the scene and offered something new for data
centers –... (more)
