Zynga infrastructure CTO: Making hardware cool again

摘要

Allan Leinwand is an infrastructure guy. He's CTO for infrastructure at Zynga, which during the past few years has built the zCloud, which powers some of the most popular social games today. It works by combining the capacity of Amazon Web Service's public cloud with the company's custom-built private cloud. In talking with Network World Staff Writer Brandon Butler, Leinwand says Zynga's evolution from relying on the public cloud to building a custom-made hybrid cloud, is one he hopes other enterprises can learn from. Leinwand is also excited because finally, he says, infrastructure is cool again.
