There is a shift happening in the world of Artificial Intelligence requiring a new breed of servers, storage and cloud networks. Artificial intelligence applications for patterns, photos and speech recognition have driven a processor evolution from CPUs to NPUs to now, GPUs. Networking is witnessing a parallel evolution and pushing the scale of shuttling massive data between machines. It creates an ever-increasing need for control over the way networks are rebuilt. Building these networks requires both, programmable paths to drive intelligence and uncompromised performance. Doing both hasn’t been easy until now.

We got a new director-level dude at the office, and he’s really mixing things up for us. His philosophy includes changing the way we do everything that we do. Like literally everything. He ran a report for me on my ticket queue and showed me that 60% of my ticket count was on stupid stuff that’s below my pay grade. His advice : Make somebody else do it. So I did. I taught myself some more Python (not hard since Continue reading
