With NetFoundry, EdgeConnex will provide enterprise customers with private and direct connections to public cloud providers, including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.
“Our goal is to bring a full software layer down to the lowest edge layer possible and to make building for the edge as easy as building for the cloud,” says CEO Kilton Hopkins.
MEF President Nan Chen said the organization has transformed from a pure-play standards group to a software and specification development organization.
Both carriers posted increased revenues and earnings for their most recent quarters, and their pending merger received approval from T-Mobile's shareholders.
The end of October means it’s time to start carving pumpkins and picking the perfect Halloween costume. This is also a good time to scare yourself silly with horror stories from your data center.
Happy Halloween! In some parts of the world, people are celebrating this holiday of horror by dressing up as monsters or other frights and watching scary movies. But sometimes these tales can be just a little boring. Pod people? Headless horsemen? Replicant children? Whatever.
I present the real horror stories of Halloween – and every other day of the year. These tales are inspired by real-life events and are guaranteed to give you a chill. (And not just because your smart thermostat is being controlled by a shapeshifting clown who lives in the sewer!)

I am giving my network troubleshooting class over at Safari Books Online on the 6th of December for those who are interested. I consider this a foundational session, covering the time components of an outage, a taxonomy of reactions to outages, the half-split method of searching for the root cause, and how models can help you understand the right questions to ask to narrow a problem down quickly. A lot of this course is based on formal methods of troubleshooting I learned in electronic engineering, adapted for the networking world.
This is one of three webinars I give at Safari Books on a periodic basis; I hope to be adding a fourth in the near future.
Bonjour and mDNS are discovery mechanisms that generally work effortlessly within a single VLAN. Those attempting to implement these protocols in a multi subnet environment often run into some significant challenges. The typical use of CAPWAP in an enterprise wireless network adds to the segmentation between wired and wireless domains and requires special attention with devices like Applet TVs and Bonjour based printers. In this article, I will address the use case of allowing a wired Apple TV to be seen and used by a wireless client. We will also do some basic filtering to contain those advertisements to a single building.
Operating with a baseline configuration, users on the BigU SSID are complaining that they cannot access the Apple TV in BLDG – 3. The first task is to make that device available to those users. While the underlying infrastructure is irrelevant to this configuration method, it is MPLS and cannot be changed in our process. All APs are running in LOCAL mode. This mode creates a compulsory CAPWAP tunnel for the data plane through the controller. In the above diagram, VLAN 110 is trunked out of the controller on to the network in Continue reading
It’s no surprise that buying behaviors have seen significant change over the past several years. Global online e-commerce sales are expected to double between 2016 and 2020. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), personal income increased $54.8 billion (0.3%) in July of 2018, while disposable personal income (DPI) increased $52.5 billion (0.3%) and personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $49.3 billion (0.4%). July’s increase in personal income was a result of salary increases, rental income, and personal dividend income. The $29.6 billion increase in PCE in July led to an increase of $10.9 billion in spending for goods and a $18.9 billion increase in spending for services.
Online shoppers are experiencing a new wave of e-commerce, one that’s highly personalized to that individual’s shopping interests and behaviors. Brands are putting more dollars behind personalization, where they capture customer data points and present those customers with relevant content and products to encourage an online sale. By capturing search queries, shopping cart, geographic location, purchase history, social behavior, and customer segments, brands are able to alter their site’s content to best serve each individual customer. More than ever, e-commerce companies Continue reading
