BERKELEY -- Changes are in store for a pair of Telegraph Avenue properties, each involving longtime businesses, that are now on the market.

The iconic Caffe Mediterraneum -- synonymous with the Telegraph Avenue Bohemian scene and birthplace of the cafe latte -- is for sale.

But, building owner and current cafe operator Craig Becker said that if he has his way the caf's character and tone, and even its renowned coffee, will stay.

The business, also known as Caf Med, has been at 2475 Telegraph Ave. about four blocks from the UC Berkeley campus, since 1957, and Becker said it is not closing.

The block on which the cafe sits also includes the former Tienda Ho clothing store (now vacant,) part of a corner parcel at Telegraph Avenue and Dwight Way that is also on the market.

Tenants of that corner lot include Shakespeare & Co. Books, which has occupied that site since 1964; and Maxi Hair Care in business in its spot for four decades.

The corner property itself has not been on the market for 95 years, according to Gordon Commercial Real Estate Services in Berkeley, which is handling the sale.

The Telegraph Avenue commercial district has had its struggles and changes in recent years and Becker said the area is not for everybody. But he added he is staying on as the cafe building's owner.

Becker said he is looking for someone to lease the spot who can provide strong management and do some remodeling.

DevOps automation tool leader Chef Software, Inc. has announced today a strong business trend towards DevOps tools amid the rise of web-scale ITan architectural approach pioneered by web innovators such as Amazon, Facebook, and Google. Chef Software is also releasing a series of new enterprise product features and commercial services designed to help enterprise customers accelerate time to market and power speed, scale, and consistency.

Web-scale computing places a great deal of emphasis on cloud and virtualization over physical hardware. The term web-scale IT was coined by Gartner who released a report that indicated the architectural approach will be found in 50% of global enterprise by 2017, up from 10% in 2013.

DevOps and web-scale IT is really about a change in practices as to rapid deployment and much larger scale, which depends heavily on automation, says Colin Campbell, Director of Patterns and Practices at Chef.

The business of DevOps has been good for Chef with the company seeing 182% year-over-year growth in Q2. Chefs platform has also reached over one million lifetime downloads and launched a new Chef Community siteSupermarket. Developers and DevOps teams alike will want to visit that.

Hoping to hold this upward trend, Chef is looking to capture the web-scale IT wave and that means more support for enterprise functionality.

Chef Software now provides three different tiers of customer engagement for all products, now including enterprise level support.

The first is reactive support: Do you have a problem? Call us. The second is proactive support: Included as a subscription, an account manager at Chef Software and a team of engineers proactively keep track of projects and make sure best practices are being followed. Finally, Chef Software still provides consulting services for customers who need on-site hands-on support for setting up Chef.

Chef Software has announced the general availability of a new analytics platform. The platform incorporates tools added to Chef through a recent acquisition big data and analytics startup of Tower3, which has provided significant resources to Chefs analytics applications.

Chef subscribers will access this through the new Chef action log, which publishes notifications on who is changing what on the Chef server and allows administrators to track cookbook usage, roles, environments, and changes to infrastructure, all through an easy-to-use dashboard.

With this system, an IT team could run across a fault or failure, easily track back through what changes happened before that failure, and use that knowledge from the Chef stack to determine the origin of the fault.
