2012 Goals

It is time to document 2012 goals and do an analysis of 2011. I would say most of my major personal goals are achieved for year 2011 such as new home, bringing my mother etc.

2012 goals :

1. Official goals
2. Personal goals...

Should I publish my goals for this year here  ? :) .

 It is important to set a few goals as possible and achieve 100 % of it. Also it is important to get a 360 degree feedback from your colleagues and family members. There is always room for improvement in personal and official life.

OK. Keep the official and personal goals in a separate document.

Personal focus of 2012  is  - determined to spend more quality time with kids. It is amazing how fast they are growing !.  Increase energy levels, do the things that bring happiness such as spending time with friend's family for dinner etc. Any way goals are important than the focus areas,  I am yet to determine how to report the progress of my 2012 items....

Solaris 11 - Cloud OS !?

Solaris 11 released by Oracle. Mark Hurd "claimed it as a first cloud OS”!.

Oracle recognized the Solaris LDOMs as a Oracle VM so licensing is much is easier now, is it? This is a good thing. Oracle is comparing Solaris with IBM AIX / HP? (Not to Redhat Linux!)

T4 Processor, T4 Server Family, super cluster - how good is the new processor? What are the performance benchmarks? Multi threaded architecture? Common across all software platform - reliability, availability, security, scalability, Performance, virtualization!

Engineer to work together with WebLogic and Oracle Database. It has capability to add storage pool at Zone level. Custom repositories available. Oracle VM templates can be stored at repositories. Repositories are encrypted. What is the future of Oracle Enterprise Manager? Look like lot of push for implementing Enterprise manager for monitoring, provisioning and reporting?
