So Cisco had some big announcements today. Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA). Ohhh, sounds fancy. Let me put on something a little more formal before I get too involved in the post. So what are all these awesome acronyms, you may be wondering? Well basically we start with DNA, which is the overall ecosystem that […]

The Datanauts talk pros and cons of adopting IaaS with guest Steve Winwood, a technical architect with direct experience in IaaS usage. We talk about when IaaS makes sense vs. building your own infrastructure, considerations for choosing a provider, how cloud app deployment is different, how to understand and manage costs, and more.

Netronome Agilio is a niche play for customers with specific compute requirements centered around OVS and, soon, Juniper Contrail. The majority of data center owners are likely to find that they just don't have the problems that Netronome is solving, but those that do will be pleased that Netronome exists.

Network automation is a nascent discipline with the annoying problem of having to deal with legacy network devices designed in a bygone era while at the same time keeping up with the requirements of modern compute infrastructure. I see Midokura's MEM as one reasonable answer to the divide found between networking and automation.

Last time I wrote about drawing L3-diagrams. Since then, I have been planning to write generally about drawing techniques. This blog post will cover some useful layouts as well as MS Visio tips for network engineers. I think MS Visio is not quite optimal for network diagrams and is lacking some key features from network diagramming […]
