 Bill Coleman has twice transformed our industry, and I'm excited to announce that he will keynote Velocity later this month. Bill is most famous for being the "B" in BEA and for leading the creation of Solaris while at Sun. He is now the CEO of his new startup, Cassatt, which "makes Data Centers more efficient".
Bill is awesome and I'm really looking forward to his keynote. He is changing the way we think about and manage Data Centers and the software that runs within them. When we spoke earlier this week he explained how vacuum tubes created the fear of powering down servers, and how funny it is that that fear persists with people that have never seen them. (I've never made that connection as I'm "part of the problem" ;-) At Velocity, Bill will likely talk about virtualization & efficiency, where he thinks we're headed, and the questions we need to be asking now to get there. (Many thanks to Tim for suggesting this to Bill and making the introduction.) |

本周早些时候我和他谈话的时候他解释了电子管如何产生了服务器掉电的恐惧，而且即使是从未遇到这种情况的人也对此深信不疑的事实是多么可笑。（即使我也“有这样的问题”却从没想到这些 在Velocity上Bill可能会谈虚拟和效率的问题，他认为我们将面对这些，还会谈到在此过程中我们会面临的问题。 （非常感谢Tim向Bill建议这一切并引见我。） |
