Datanauts 002 – Insert Tab A into Slot B with Converged Infrastructure

Converged infrastructure integrates discrete components, such as compute and storage, along with orchestration software, into a package that’s simple to deploy and certified to interoperate. Join Chris Wahl, Ethan Banks, and special guest Stu Miniman as they drill into the origins and benefits of converged infrastructure, how it differentiates from hyperconverged systems, and how the convergence trend will affect IT roles.

Networking Books Up For Auction – Good Stuff Cheap

I've put several of my networking books up for auction on eBay. Lots of CiscoPress titles, but several others as well. Many design guides. Routing protocol coverage such as OSPF, including an OSPF vs ISIS guide by Jeff Doyle. Some are older, what I consider classics. Some are fairly new. Some are targeted at certification seekers. I need to clear some space here in my home library, and would like to move these titles along. Far too many books in my collection, and I've gotten what I can from these. Good luck!

PQ Show 52 – Using Ostinato To Craft Your Own Packets

If software developers and network driver writers can make their own packets, can’t you? Ah, right...you’re not a developer. Your coding-fu is weak, as is mine. Still, there’s hope for us in an open source tool called Ostinato. Ostinato calls itself “Wireshark in reverse.” With Ostinato, you can make your own packets, custom crafting them any way you like. Today on the Packet Pushers Priority Queue, we’re talking with one of the Ostinato creators, Srivats P.

SD-WAN Gives Us The Best Path We Always Wanted

In networking, we rely on routing protocols to compute best path. That is to ask, from the perspective of a given router in a routing domain, what is the best way to reach a destination? Best path is typically computed using simplistic metrics like hop count, cost, bandwidth, and delay. Traditional "best path" thinking is effective, insofar as it goes. It scales to a large number of devices and destinations. It is resilient. It is mature. However, it has its limitations. Software defined WAN brings a much more sophisticated metric to the computation of best path.

PQ Show 51 – LightCyber Magna Active Breach Detection – Sponsored

LightCyber Magna Active Breach Detection automatically detects active attackers by identifying the anomalous operational behaviors sourced from compromised hosts in your network. By focusing on actual attack behaviors, and not technical artifacts like signatures, Magna provides accurate breach indicators and eliminates excessive false positives.
