Thanks. I'll look into OpenLayers. For the moment, I would like to render
points on a map as a proof-of-concept, but I'd like to expand into more
complex visualizations. Perhaps I can do all that with OpenLayers, or maybe
not, in which case I'll build a WFS.

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
