It's an important vendor-neutral space to share the latest in technology. USENIX has been a great help to my career and my employers, and I hope it is just as helpful for you. And now, helping bring USENIX conferences to Australia by giving the first keynote: I could not have scripted or expected it.

More control: While performing on-premise testing, organizations have more control over configurations, setup, hardware, and software. The security and data storage infrastructure has to meet certain security compliances and standards; only then, the infrastructure is good to go for testing. All of these require a lot of capital.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version.
