Red Hat is viewed as an open source software beacon and some worry a heavy-handed integration from IBM could snuff out that light.
The offering is sold as a subscription service in three tiers to provide different levels of visibility and data analysis based on an organization’s needs.
It’s not all rainbows and flowers at Google. Hundreds of employees are planning a walkout following a report that the cloud giant rewarded a top exec accused of sexual misconduct.
MEF aims for its SD-WAN service standardization to accelerate sales of SD-WAN products and services like MEF accomplished with Carrier Ethernet service standardization.
Mobile broadband is expected to be the first use case for 5G in Russia. Specifically, operators are looking at ways to ease network congestion in urban areas.
Once you have containers in production certain security measures must be put in place to cover network filtering, container inspection, and host security.
The company’s got about a year to turn around its Oracle cloud business if it’s going to meet its lofty goals.
A report recently published by 451 Research shows that almost 70% of all enterprises will be using a multi-cloud or hybrid IT infrastructure in a year’s time. As more and more enterprises are swayed into the cloud, companies who have already adopted the cloud are now choosing to go with multi-cloud infrastructure or hybrid architecture for their IT requirements.
The report also showcased that about 60% of all workloads are expected to run using a form of hosted cloud service by 2019. This is an increase of about 45% from 2017. This marks an impressive change from DIY owned and operated services to a cloud or third-party hosted IT services. Therefore, the future of IT services is clearly hybrid and multi-cloud.
Here we explore some of the reasons multi-cloud is a fantastic idea for enterprises when they consider security, flexibility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
A Distributed Denial of Service or DDoS attack is when a number of different computer systems attack a server, website, network resource or a cloud hosting unit. A DDoS attack can be executed by an individual as well as a federal government.
In a scenario that your company’s website is Continue reading

Given that my technical background is largely in the networking space (exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C(CIE)), one of the first things I tried to wrap my head around when being introduced to AWS is how networking works in the AWS cloud.
What I attempted to do was build a mental model by relating cloud networking constructs such as Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), subnets, and routing tables to on-prem, physical networking constructs. This worked pretty well but I did get tripped up at times because some of these constructs don’t map exactly one-for-one.
This post will explain the mental model I used while also calling attention to the elements or behaviors that don’t map exactly between on-prem and AWS.
The basis for building the model will be a single VM on-prem and a single compute instance in AWS. I’m going to build all the networking constructs around both of these elements, starting from the outer-most layers and working closer and closer to the VM/instance.
On the AWS platform there is no explicit building blocks for Layer 2 connectivity. There’s no “elastic virtual Continue reading
Practical OTV
————-
This post is all about OTV (Overlay Transport Virtualization) on the CSR1000v.
I wanted to create the post because there are alot of acronyms and terminology involved.
A secondary objective was to have a “real” multicast network in the middle, as the examples I have seen around the web, have used a direct P2P network for the DCI.
Instead, I wanted to have full multicast running in the SP core in order to gain a full understanding of the packet forwarding and encapsulation.
First off, lets talk about the topology I will be using:
Datacenters:
————
We have 2 Datacenters, one represented by Site 1 and the other by Site 2.
In the middle, we have what is in all respects a SP provider network. In your environment, this may or may not be your own transport network.
In site 1, CSR-1 is our “server”, basically all thats configured on it is an IP address (192.168.100.1/24) on its G1 interface.
SW-9 is our L2 switch, which is configured with 2 VLAN’s (Vlan 100 (SERVER-VLAN) and Vlan 900 (SITE-VLAN)). The port (e0/0) going to CSR-1 is configured as an access-port in Vlan 100.
The ports Continue reading
The bulk of attacks today are moving up the stack. They may be moving up the stack because app owners aren’t paying attention to their share of security in the cloud.
Not surprisingly it has been a busy 4 months in IoT, and IoT-related work in IETF has been buzzing right along. This post is intended to highlight some of these activities, and to provide a guide to relevant sessions scheduled during the upcoming IETF 103 meeting in Bangkok. Also check out the IETF Journal IoT Category, the IETF IoT page, the IETF IoT Directorate, the Internet Society’s IoT page, or the Online Trust Alliance IoT page for more details about many of these topics.
The IETF Hackathon, held on the weekend preceding the main IETF meeting (November 3-4, 2018), includes several projects directly related to IoT, with the possibility of more being added. Remote participation is available. More information is on the Hackathon wiki. Projects of interest (at the time of this writing) include those relating to:
The Thing-to-Thing Research Group (T2TRG), under the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF), investigates open research issues towards turning the promise of IoT into reality. The research group will be meeting on Tuesday afternoon Continue reading
The platform uses the MEF 63 Optical Transport Services specification focused on Layer 1 orchestration but is not intended as an end-to-end orchestrator.
