Sunday July 12, 2009 Crossbow Launch, Talk and BOF at Community One and Java One
Crossbow Launch, Talk and BOF at Community One and Java One
On June 1, 2009, during Community One and Java One in San Francisco, California, Crossbow was formally launched as part of OpenSolaris 2009.06. The morning started with a keynote where John Fowler, EVP of Sun Systems group formally announced OpenSolaris 2009.06 as the beta for next enterprise release of Solaris.Next (Next release after Solaris 10). He and Greg Lavender then went on to show the Crossbow feature and the Virtual Wire demo. Later in the day I did a talk on Crossbow where Nicolas and Kais accompanied me and showed the Crossbow Virtual wire demo in detail. Bill Franklin and some of his cohorts were dressed as Crossbow knights and they charged in the room right after the talk. I think people just got a shock of their life. It was very entertaining.The launch got lot of visibility and very good press coverage which can be see on the Crossbow News page. The most notable ones were:
- Eweek article where they tried some of the Virtual Wire features and liked it
- Information week article
- Computer Week Article which also had the quotes from Dan Roberts talking about Crossbow
- and many more available here
- Joyent: Ben Rockwood talks about Cloud deployment with Crossbow
- Veraz Network: Xiaobo Wang talk about Telco consolidation
- Reliant Security: Richard Newman talks about Crossbow in Small enterprise space
- Force 10 Networks: Michael O'Brien talks about extending Crossbow H/W lanes to the switch
