		<description><![CDATA[I have a customer that has 40 servers that perform a given function. They are comprised of physical machines and Solaris zones. I needed to adjust a file on each of those machines. I was not about to ssh into each machine and then start up vi and adjust the file by hand.

When it comes to servers I prefer to do: (a) from the command line and (b) using ssh.

		<description><![CDATA[There is one word that comes to my mind when I think about how to run a data center, consistency! I have worked with many people and organizations over the years. Recently I have seen a fair number of issues and to summarize them with one word I picked consistency.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reading this story and I quote Last year, for example, an unidentified defense contractor discovered 100 compromised systems on its network, and found that the intruders had been inside since at least 2007. Hopefully now they&#8217;ve come to realize that monitoring your network, as in the traffic patterns, rates, etc. is very important too. &#8230; <a href="http://blogs.balius.com/2010/02/04/monitor-your-traffic-and-egress-filters/">[Continue Reading]</a>]]></description>
