NSX Sessions for the Geeks at VMworld 2017

This year at VMworld 2017 we have a great agenda full of highly technical sessions around NSX.  Over the past few years NSX has expanded to meet a variety of use cases as our Content Catalog clearly shows. Based on the project your working on today, check out our recommendations for the best technical sessions for these specific NSX use cases:

  1. General overview sessions
  2. Security
  3. NSX & Cloud Native Apps
  4. Application Continuity
  5. Automation
  6. Design & Architecture

General NSX Sessions:

TS7003KU: Transforming Networking and Security for the Digital Era

Speakers: Milin Desai, Tom Corn and 3 customers

At a time when changes to technology are coming at us at a fast pace, how do customers meet and exceed business expectations? This session will focus on how customers are on their SDDC journey in context of network and security. Through the lens of the customer we will share what drives adoption, technology updates, team dynamics and becoming part of the overall business success.

NET3282BU: The NSX Practical Path

Speakers: Nikhil Kelshikar, Ron Fuller

We will share how customers have found value with NSX by getting started with one of the use cases around Security, Automation or App continuity. We will show Continue reading

Worth Reading: The shape of HPC and AI iron to come

In the IT business, just like any other business, you have to try to sell what is on the truck, not what is planned to be coming out of the factories in the coming months and years. AMD has put a very good X86 server processor into the market for the first time in nine years, and it also has a matching GPU that gives its OEM and ODM partners a credible alternative for HPC and AI workload to the combination of Intel Xeons and Nvidia Teslas that dominate hybrid computing these days. —Timothy Prickett Morgan @ The Next Platform

PCAP PCAP PCAP – Changes to RJ Store

I made a couple changes to the RouterJockey store this week and I wanted to make sure I got the word out. Previously the store worked in sprints that I tried to open up 2-3x a year. Instead of trying to manage these sprints, and keep the products updated, I’ve now made the store available year round. It still operates in sprints, but instead of being 2-3 weeks long, they’re only 3-4 days each.

On top of being more available, the store now has a few new products, nothing too exciting, but we do have a RJ phone case, a PCAP mug, and a couple stickers for sale. Teespring has recently added these products and as I get requests for other products I will be sure to add them. As usual, if you have any questions, hit me up on twitter or use the contact form.

Expand Wi-Fi quickly, easily with Aerohive’s wall plate

In many industries, it’s critical to get Wi-Fi everywhere, but it can often be difficult accomplish this. For example, extending a hotel comprised of smaller cottage-type rooms or one with lots of suites has many hard to reach places with traditional access point (AP) placement. Dorm rooms or hospitals typically want Wi-Fi everywhere, but it’s often difficult to provision it because of interference from thick walls or other infrastructure. One possible solution is to put an AP in every room, but that can get prohibitively expensive given the cost of APs and the expense of running new cables to every location.Another option has been the growing number of “wall plate” APs where the existing wall plate is removed and an AP in the form factor of a wall plate is connected into the existing Ethernet cable, bringing Wi-Fi to that location.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

New digital platforms to become the foundation for IT

The future of business will include artificial intelligence (AI) in every nook and cranny, along with transparent, immersive experiences and entirely new digital platforms, according to consulting firm Gartner.Digital business will be driven by those three megatrends over the next five to 10 years, it says.That's because a kind of joining between humans and technology is going to replace the static-like tech we’re used to. The new combination will be enabled by revolutionary amounts of data, better computing power and ubiquitous ecosystems.+ Also on Network World: Gartner Top 10 technology trends you should know for 2017 + Importantly, to get there, new digital “ecosystem-enabling” platforms will have to replace traditional “compartmentalized technical infrastructure.”To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Worth Reading: We’re Still on Whois?

Here we are in a modern age, and yet the load on the public whois service at APNIC continues unabated. It’s believed they’re mostly queries from automatic systems, checking the authority over an IP address, almost certainly from firewall checks, an amount of manual data exploration by law enforcement and IPR agencies, and at the tail end, ISPs doing semi-automatic router configuration. —George Michaelson @ APNIC

History Of Networking – Daniel Walton – BGP Optimizations

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, BGP had some serious scaling issues that threatened it’s effectiveness as a protocol that could be used for the global routing table.  Significant efforts were made to optimize the resource utilization and convergence time.  Our guest in this episode, Daniel Walton, was part of that effort at Cisco and shares his story about the BGP optimizations that were put in place during that time.  The optimizations include Peer groups, READONLY mode, update groups, update packing, and MRAI.  Sometimes these optimizations, increased capability by 100x previous versions of the code.

IDG Contributor Network: 8 steps to IT control in a self-service cloud world

The natural cycle in IT is to move from decentralized to centralized services. When networking first appeared, it was implemented at a department level for printer sharing. It was decentralized—resulting in a hodgepodge of networks and protocols. Eventually IT organizations determined that it was much more efficient to centralize this effort and we saw the adoption of large-scale, TCP/IP networks. Today nearly every IT organization has a centralized networking team that manages and deploys IP-based infrastructure.When SaaS applications such as Salesforce first appeared, they were adopted by sales organizations. As adoption levels grew, enterprises needed centralized data integration, identity and access management, and other functions that are inefficient to deliver at departmental scale. Today Salesforce is typically managed by a centralized IT organization.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
