Things were reasonably stable in the good old days. Following some of the biggest challenges facing technology companies were competing against a few, relatively slow moving industries. At the time, the advances in these industries were rapid.

We have been on the bandwidth bandwagon ever since Claude Shannon developed communication theory.
His theory described communication between computers or between humans and computers. In either version, he maintained that, if you are forced to pick between bandwidth and power, you pick bandwidth and compensate for power later. This premise led directly to wire-line and wireless technologies that continue to exceed Moore’s law of computing. Every person and every business is hungry for bandwidth. When you consider the bandwidth-intensive technologies that are around the corner — think of about viewing 3D videos on various IP end points — you can understand that hunger. Continue reading

It’s clear that the Internet has changed the thoughts and actions of every corporation and consumer over the last decade. This change is the result of the evolution of [network design].
Here’s a top ten list that’s all about studies in contrast. How do the networks of the 21st century differ from the networks of the last century?

THE COMMUNICATIONS industry is undergoing a massive transformation. It is so fundamental, it will affect every person and every business on the face of the planet in the next 10 to 15 years. You can look at it as the third wave, comparable with the way railroads, automobiles, and planes transformed life in the 20th century.

Overview
Forty years ago Gordon Moore of Intel Corporation observed that the number of transistors on a silicon chip was doubling every year. In what became known as Moore’s Law, it was predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would continue to double at regular intervals for the foreseeable future.

In the mid-90s when the web was in its infancy, creating a web site was quite complex. It was not only necessary to design the content for the site (text, graphics, HTML…) but it was also necessary to build and operate the entire web server infrastructure: purchasing and installing servers, disk farms, routers, IP connections, web server software, monitoring system, raised floor computer rooms, backup power supplies, 24X7 operations staff needed to be hired, disaster recovery sites set up, and the latest security patches applied.
