John Roese Nortel CTO

John Roese (Nortel CTO) has joined the 21st century and started a blog, so far the entries have been interesting and I think will grow more interesting over time. His last entry is regarding the amount of devices that are going to be on the WWW and how machine traffic will exceed human traffic, he call this phenomenon "Hyper Connectivity".
While I agree with his train of thought I must question the volumes he is anticipating.
We are seeing a trend where multiple devices such as phone, MP3 player , cameras etc are all becoming a single unit there fore only one address is required for multiple functions. Also the explosion in server virtualisation with Solaris containers and VMware is dramatically reducing the volume on machines in the data centre.

I am interested in Johns thoughts towards Eco friendly hardware and Nortels direction on the virtual server / switching space, maybe I need to drop him a mail............

I have added Johns Blog link to my book marks for those of you who want to read more.
