Smaller rivals Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, and IBM if combined would be about equal to AWS' market share. And they are taking market share from smaller players.
Versa has now signed managed service provider agreements with more than 80 global providers.
It’s a smart move for the networking vendor. Gartner estimates that 20.4 billion connected things will be in use by organizations worldwide by 2020.

The company uses agents to find data in virtual machines (VMs), routers, firewalls, and switches in an organization's data center and clouds. It will become part of Cisco’s Crosswork Network Automation portfolio.
I consider these forms of possible lock-in for SD-WAN

The company expanded data protection with new and enhanced features to its Data Domain and Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA) products.
Cloudflare seeks to help its end customers use whichever public and private clouds best suit their needs. Towards that goal, we have been working to make sure our solutions work well with various public cloud providers including Microsoft’s Azure platform.
If you are an Azure customer, or thinking about becoming one, here are three ways we have made Cloudflare’s performance and security services work well with Azure.
We are proud to announce an application for Cloudflare Argo Tunnel within the Azure marketplace. As a quick reminder, Argo Tunnel establishes an encrypted connection between the origin and the Cloudflare edge. The small tunnel daemon establishes outbound connections to the two nearest Cloudflare PoPs, and the origin is only accessible via the tunnel between Cloudflare and origin.
Because these are outbound connections, there is likely no need to modify firewall rules, configure DNS records, etc. You can even go so far as to block all IPs on the origin and allow traffic only to flow through the tunnel. You can learn more here. The only prerequisite for using Argo Tunnel is to have Argo enabled on your Cloudflare zone. You can Continue reading

In January last year I looked back at 2017 trying to figure out how routing security looked like globally and on a country level. I used BGPStream.com – a great public service providing information about suspicious events in the routing system.
The metrics I used for this analysis were number of incidents and networks involved, either by causing such incidents, or being affected by them.
An ‘incident’ is a suspicious change in the state of the routing system that can be attributed to an outage or a routing attack, like a route leak or hijack (either intentional or due to a configuration mistake). BGPStream is an operational tool that tries to minimize false positives, so the number of incidents may be on the low side.
Of course, there are a few caveats with this analysis – since any route view is incomplete and the intents of the changes are unknown, there are false positives. Some of the incidents went under the radar. Finally, the country attribution is based on geo-mapping and sometimes gets it wrong.
However, even if Continue reading
Since the upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.04, my laptop ASUS k55VM) is overheating and goes to critical temperature shutdown. The temperature varies between 70 and 85°C with doing nothing and then goes up to 95 with watching YouTube videos before shutdown. I have tried to clean fans from dust, blacklisted noveau driver but nothing helped. Finally, I have been successful with searching for workaround that is working for me. The issue here is intel_pstate scaling driver which does not reduce the processor speed when temperature increases.
The driver is not modular and it is built-in with kernel so we cannot unload it. However, we can disable it at boot by editing grub configuration. Firstly, check if your system is using the intel_pstate frequency scaling driver. If not, overheating is not caused by the intel_pstate driver and you need to figure out the cause by yourself.
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_driver

Solution 1 - Disabling intel_pstate at Boot by Editing Grub Configuration
Open /etc/default/grub with editor and locate the line that begins with:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
Add intel_pstate=disable at the end of that string as below.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_pstate=disable"
Now, execute:

Netsurion’s BranchSDO platform is the company’s natural evolution of its SD-WAN service. “What’s next for SD-WAN is really removing the handcuffs off of the branch and allowing this resilient, agile security solution that also delivers compliance,” said John Ayers, VP of product at...
Until now the intersection of human healthcare and networking machines was somewhat loosely coupled. Healthcare has been historically stymied by regulations and compliance issues making the adoption of modern IT challenging. Yet today in a quest for longer and healthier lives we are driven by metrics to monitor our health, measure continuous feedback of our heart, breathing and track our physical activity and exercise. Digital healthcare is impacting the continuum of patient care and the overall patient experience, generating exponential increases in data, and creating unprecedented demand for increased network speeds and agility. Just as the financial industry took to modernizing real time banking, the time has arrived to leverage the power of the network to modernize healthcare.
This is part 5 of a six part series based on a talk I gave in Trento, Italy. To start from the beginning go here.
So, let me talk a bit about people. Software is made by people. Sometimes individuals but more likely by teams. I’ve talked earlier about some aspects of our architecture and our frequent rewrites but it’s people that make all that work.
And, honestly, people can be an utter joy and a total pain. Finding, keeping, nurturing people and teams is the single most important thing you can do in a company. No doubt.
Finding people is really hard. Firstly, the technology industry is booming, and so engineers have a lot of choices. Countries create special visas just for them. Politicians line up to create mini-Silicon Valleys in their countries. Life is good!
But the really hard thing is interviewing. How do you find good people from an interview? I don’t know the answer to that. We put people through on average 8 interviews and a pair programming exercise. We look at open source contributions. Sometimes we look at people’s degrees.
We tend to look for potential. An old boss used to say, “Don’t Continue reading
Numerous network automation deployments happen in brownfield installations: you’re trying to automate parts of existing network deployment and operations processes. If you’re lucky you start automating deployment of new devices… but what if you have to automate parts of existing device configurations?
