Heavy Networking 641: Network Design For NVMe Over Fabric
Today on Heavy Networking, we discuss NVMe over fabric, where your Ethernet and IP network is the fabric. Many NVMe over fabric discussions focus on what’s happening inside the storage packets themselves. This conversation focuses on the network. What does the topology need to be? What are the latency and loss characteristics of an NVMe transport fabric? What QoS tools should you be considering, how do they work, and when should you use them? Our guest for this vendor-neutral conversation is J Metz.

Why SASE Requires A New Way Of Thinking
The following post is sponsored by Palo Alto Networks. SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge, doesn’t require new skills for network engineers so much as a new mindset. You don’t learn a new routing protocol or encryption tunnel. You do need to embrace diverse connectivity options, hybrid work, and supporting applications that are on premises […]
