CefSharp: Chromium Embedded Framework + .NET



Embedding web application to desktop applications has many benefits (and challenges). IE was available on Windows for a long time as a visual component / control. But IE is not always good enough. Chromium is open source base of Chrome.

"CefSharp lets you embed Chromium in .NET apps. It is a lightweight .NET wrapper around the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF)
CefSharp is BSD licensed, so it can be used in both proprietary and free/open source applications.

hybrid cloud: hyper-convergence?


a new buzzword...  what will "win", a "downsizing" of a server rack to an appliance, or upgrading a storage appliance with compute and cloud integration?

What is hyper-convergence ? - Definition from WhatIs.com

"Hyper-convergence (hyperconvergence) is a type of infrastructure system with a software-centric architecture that tightly integrates compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources and other technologies from scratch in a commodity hardware box supported by a single vendor.

A hyper-converged system allows the integrated technologies to be managed as a single system through a common toolset. Hyper-converged systems can be expanded through the addition of nodes to the base unit. Common use cases include virtualized workloads"
