Архитектура независимого умного дома: паттерны проектирования и Embedded-разработка на ESP32: Сенсорбокс

Преподавая в школе «Интеграл» в 2018 году, я наблюдал, как коллеги-педагоги массово скупали Яндекс.Станции и умные лампочки. Один из них, обычный учитель (не IT-специалист), с гордостью рассказывал, как настроил автоматическое включение света через мобильное приложение не только на кухне, но даже в Ванной комнате. А еще он поставил умную RGB-лампу в спальню. Всё работало «из коробки» — нажал кнопку, точнее зажал на некоторое время, подключил, готово.Меня же это беспокоило. Как... Read more

HCI против классической виртуализации: архитектурный выбор для современного ЦОД

В мире корпоративной ИТ-инфраструктуры уже много лет существует дискуссия. На одном полюсе — проверенная временем классическая трёхуровневая архитектура (серверы, сеть, внешняя СХД).

Выбор между ними — это не просто вопрос "что новее", а стратегическое решение, влияющее на управляемость, масштабируемость, отказоустойчивость и совокупную стоимость владения .
