The roots of the iPhone can probably be traced to many corners of Apple's campus in Cupertino, California, but a Silicon Valley courtroom on Friday heard how some of the most recognizable software design features of the phone were born in a team working in a dark, dirty, windowless room with special security to keep others out.
The bottom line is that the Internet already contains plenty of intelligence, such as routing, addressing and session-creating. It will need to contain more to handle next-generation services. And that's fine. The issue isn't about "intelligent" vs. "stupid" - it's about how well a set of design principles can map to a changing set of expectations and requirements.

In our last few newsletters we began to discuss a seldom-mentioned IT discipline - Application Performance Engineering (APE). In this newsletter we will discuss the linkage between APE and application design.
This is the fifth in a series of newsletters that have been discussing a seldom-mentioned IT discipline - Application Performance Engineering (APE). The premise of this series of newsletters is that IT organizations are increasingly concerned with the performance of at least a few of their company's key applications and because of that concern need to take the proactive steps that constitute APE as a means of ensuring acceptable application performance. In this newsletter we will discuss the linkage betwee

For most of the decade that began in 2000 LAN design was very staid. The basic design guidelines were well established, few new technologies were introduced into the market and the major vendors each had their market share and those shares changed little over the decade. You could argue that during that decade that the enterprise LAN architect was as busy as the proverbial Maytag repairman.

As enterprise telephone system manufacturers decide that their research and development efforts are going to be exclusively focused on VoIP, TDM systems will go the way of the dinosaur. The effect on users is going to be more traumatic this time, however, because of one major difference: the design and successful installation of VoIP systems requires more homework and effort on the part of users than did the installation preparation for TDM systems.
