This article by Bruno Terkaly will show you how SignalR enables you to implement asynchronous scalable pub/sub applications with real-time, persistent and long-running connections more easily than you’ve ever imagined. SignalR, a new technology from Microsoft that makes long polling practical and scalable, is the solution you’ve been waiting for …
This article from Brian Jimerson discusses how to engineer enterprise applications to ensure the highest level of availability and fault tolerance in the cloud. Recent events suggest that most cloud-based applications are not designed for traditional data center architectures, and when inevitable failures occur, these applications are unable to survive …
This article explores one important area of virtualization: operating system-level virtualization. This variant allows for a complete operating system to be created inside a virtual machine (VM). The management of such VMs is an important problem that has not yet been solved in the general case. The article presents the …
