A lot of people look to me for mentoring and advice. When you see someone in the industry having success, it’s easy to think that they know it all and never have any setbacks, that their career was a straight path to success from day one. When I look at someone like Ivan Pepelnjak, a person I have a tremendous respect for, I imagine him knowing it all from day one. Of course, in reality, he had to learn it the hard way like the rest of us.
A couple of days ago I thought about writing a little about my background. To show people that it’s normal to have some bumps in your career and that success is not achieved overnight.
When I think back of my career so far, there’s two or three things that really bother me and where I had to learn some hard lessons.
When I was done with upper secondary school, I was SO tired of school. I had no motivation. My grades were mediocre. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. All I knew was that I had an interest in IT and that I was going to go Continue reading
Having your SD-WAN delivered as-a-service helps simply the network and free up IT resources to focus on growth generating opportunities.
It also released an SD-WAN device built specifically for data centers. Previously, it only had a branch device that couldn’t fully meet data centers’ needs.
The new software shows how the lines between traditional backup and recovery and data security are being blurred.
Cloudflare #GHC18 team
I am 25+ years into my career in technology, and this was the very first time I attended a conference geared towards women.
A couple of weeks ago I went to Grace Hopper Celebration (#GHC18), and I can still feel the exuberant energy from the 22,000 women over the intensive 3 day conference. I attended with our Cloudflare team; our purpose was to connect with women in the greater tech community and recruit new talent to join our team and mission to help build a better Internet.
Cloudflare prioritizes GHC because we recognize that diversity in our company, and particularly in our technical departments, is crucial to our success. We believe that the best companies are diverse companies. This was Cloudflare’s second time sponsoring GHC, and I was part of the planning committee. This year I headed to the event with 20 of my colleagues to meet all of the incredible attendees, hold on-site interviews, and even host our own Cloudflare panel and luncheon.
Early Tuesday morning, the day before the conference, as I joined the Southwest Airlines boarding line at Oakland Airport, my fellow passengers were not the usual contingent of Continue reading

Huawei’s recent AI portfolio release emphasizes that AI isn’t just a collection of fancy machine learning libraries but is instead a facet of a much larger, living system.
The 18th Annual Global LambaGrid Workshop (GLIF 2018) was held on 18-21 September 2018 at the Kulturværftet in Helsingør (Elsinore), Denmark. Kronberg Castle, located next to the venue, was immortalised as Elsinore in the William Shakespeare play Hamlet, but there proved to be nothing rotten with the state of high-bandwidth networking as 50 participants from 19 countries came to hear how these networks are facilitating exascale computing in support of biological, medical, physics, energy production and environmental research, and to discuss the latest infrastructure developments.
This event was organised by myself with support from NORDUnet who hosted the event in conjunction with the 30th NORDUnet Conference (NDN18), and where I also took the opportunity to raise awareness of the MANRS initiative.
The keynote was provided by Steven Newhouse (EBI) who presented the ELIXIR Compute Platform which was being used for analysing life science data. In common with high-energy physics, genomics research produces a lot of data, but this is more complex and variable, requires sequencing and imqging on shorter timescales, and of course has privacy issues. The European Molecular Biology Laboratory is based across six countries and employs over 1,600 people, but also collaborates with thousands of other scientists Continue reading
