Strategy Analytics predicts the combined entity will boost adoption by 17 percent compared with the two continuing on their own.
For the first time in its history VMware invited outsiders to its annual R&D conference.
Company revenues beat expectations but profits were sunk by the skyrocketing cost of goods.
The goal is to make it easier to connect SD-WAN controllers and edge devices from different vendors.
It’s based on PCCW’s worldwide IP network and SDN software it acquired from Console Connect.
A look at how vendors implementing the new storage protocol in their products and what to consider before integrating the technology into your data center.
Traditional networking engineers, or virtualization engineers familiar with vSphere or VMware NSX, often feel like Alice in Wonderland when entering the world of Amazon Web Services. Everything looks and sounds familiar, and yet it all feels a bit different
I decided to create a half-day workshop (first delivery: June 13th in Zurich, Switzerland) to make it easier to grasp the fundamentals of AWS networking, and will publish high-level summaries as a series of blog posts. Let’s start with an overview of what’s different:

Cloudflare Inc has been announcing this prefix from AS 13335 since 1st April 2018 after signing an initial 5-year research agreement with APNIC Research and Development (Labs) to offer DNS services.
Shanghai Anchang Network Security Technology Co., Ltd. (AS58879) started announcing 1.1.1.0/24 at 08:09:45 UTC, which is normally announced by Cloudflare (AS13335). The possible hijack lasted only for less than 2min. The last announcement of 1.1.1.0/24 was made at 08:10:27 UTC. The BGPlay screenshot of 1.1.1.0/24 is given below:
Anchang Network (AS58879) peers with China Telecom (AS4809), PCCW Global (AS3491), Cogent Communications (AS174), NTT America, Inc. (AS2914), LG DACOM Corporation (AS3786), KINX (AS9286) and Hurricane Electric LLC (AS6939). Unfortunately, Hurricane Electric (AS6939) allowed the announcement of 1.1.1.0/24 originating from Anchang Network (AS58879). Apparently, all other peers blocked this announcement. NTT (AS2914) and Cogent (AS174) are also MANRS Participants and actively filter prefixes.

Along with the advancements in context-aware micro-segmentation and network virtualization, we are also continually raising the bar on making VMware NSX simple to deploy, manage, and operationalize at scale – and that, of course, involves a responsive and easy-to-use HTML-based UI to access VMware NSX functionality.
With VMware NSX for vSphere 6.4.1, you can now access all NSX installation and security functionality through a responsive HTML-based vSphere Client, including Distributed Firewall, Service Composer, Application Rule Manager, and more. This modern interface does not have any dependencies on browser plugins (e.g. Adobe Flash), has a more minimalistic look-and-feel, and loads so much faster! Beyond the immediate aesthetic improvements, here’s a quick look at some of the key enhancements to how we’re simplifying the NSX user experience.
Given how feature-rich the NSX Firewall page is, our usability designers focused extra attention on streamlining the day-to-day tasks of creating, managing and troubleshooting firewall rules.
For starters, at the top of the Firewall page, we’ve introduced a new Status Bar and elevated table-level actions (like Publish and Save) to their own dedicated Toolbar. Now, at a glance, you can immediately Continue reading
IT pros can sign up for new online course to learn the basics of open source networking technologies for SDN and more.
On this episode of Datanauts, we chat with Brandon Olin, the creator of PoshBot, a PowerShell based chatbot for ops teams. What does PoshBot do? How was PoshBot built? How do chatbots impact Brandon’s delivery model?
Bots have been around for a long time. They re really handy, too, often being able to answer simple questions by submitting a special command that has some sort of prefix or identifier associated with them. Especially if you re on Twitch and want to know how long your favorite streamer has been online.
Maybe that isn t the most helpful thing in the world, but what if we changed the narrative to be all about operations and how talking to a bot (with your peers watching) could actually up-level your day-to-day enjoyment of IT?
That’s our conversation today.
PoshBot is a chat bot written in PowerShell. It makes extensive use of classes introduced in PowerShell 5.0. PowerShell modules are loaded into PoshBot and instantly become available as bot commands. PoshBot currently supports connecting to Slack to provide you with awesome ChatOps goodness.
