Intel, Seagate continue push for increased enterprise SSD capacity

The Flash Memory Summit is taking place in the Silicon Valley, and SSD vendors are showing off some impressive new enterprise-scale drives with greater capacity and performance.Seagate showed off some new products in its Nytro line with 3D NAND, raising capacity four-fold, and also showed off a PCI Express-based card with 64TB capacity. Conveniently, the company did not give the price. Seagate Nytro 5000 SSD line The Nytro 5000 product line is an upgrade to Seagate’s existing XM1440 line of SSDs. These drives range in capacity from 400GB to 2TB. All use the M.2 interface. M.2 is a design that’s different from traditional SATA drives. A typical SATA SSD looks like a 2.5-inch hard disk and uses a SATA interface. M.2 is about the size of a stick of gum and plugs into the motherboard. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Worth Reading: What we learn in transitioning from card catalogs

When we transition to a new technology, do we lose valuable metadata? Could errors be introduced in the process of transfer of data from one medium to another? It’s an issue society has already had to confront — when the world’s libraries transitioned to digital and online catalogs from their older systems based on paper cards. —David Cassel @ The New Stack

IDG Contributor Network: Driving operational excellence with your cloud vendors

Once, there was a pin factory. It employed ten workers – each of whom performed a different task. This organizational structure allowed them to generate 48,000 pins every day. If the people working at the plant were working independently, the output of each would have been limited to 20 pins at most – totaling 200 pins. This story describing division of labor was used in Adam Smith’s 1776 book The Wealth of Nations, as an example of operational excellence (OE).If your company is to survive in a competitive market, OE must be sought, explained Faisal Hoque in Fast Company. In other words, the enterprise must “identify, understand and create the capabilities, behaviors and focuses necessary for repeatable, continuous and measurable operational improvement,” said Hoque.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

On the ‘web: Hyperconvergence in the Network

First there is white box; the networking world is already moving in this direction. While network devices, such as firewalls, routers, and switches were once purchased in an “appliance” model, many parts of the networking world are quickly moving towards a disaggregated model, where the hardware and software are purchased as separate “things.” This enables the concept of white box—although the box might not actually be white. The terms “bright box” and “grey box” attempt to capture the reality that you might still buy boxes from brand named vendors, but rather than buying them for their software capabilities, you can now buy them for their hardware capabilities.

Network slicing will play key role in 5G networks

Single wireless networks will be separated into many, layered virtual networks when 5G is launched, experts say. The technique, called network slicing, is of a similar concept to software-defined networking (SDN), found now in some fixed networking, where managers program network behavior.The way dynamic network slicing will work is that communications specific to a particular 5G application, such as those found in Internet of Things (IoT) sensors or video, will be layered over the top of a common infrastructure, then software will manage the different service types.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Worth Reading: Speeding up doesn’t help

The evolution then began, first at 1.5x speed, and eventually working up to twice the speed. At first, it made me laugh. Those distinct voices I had grown so accustomed to had turned into high-speed ramblings. Listening to Ira Glass and Terry Gross at 2x speed is like expecting a massage at a spa and getting a defibrillator instead. But you get used to it, and plus: 50-minute podcasts were taking me 25 minutes to get through. Those that were an hour or longer were flying by. I was no longer just getting through my queue; I now had time to discover even more podcasts. —Paolo Uggetti @ The Ringer

Tomorrow is the big day!

How fast time flies! Tomorrow ( August 10) is my JNCIE-DC lab day.

I spent last couple of days repeating my notes and labbing small optional topics like CoPP, ZTP, etc; and also familiar ones like CoS and MPLS L3VPN.

Today is the rest day. Fly to Amsterdam, drink a couple of beers and go to bed. Fortunately I’ve been there before, so no worries about how to find Juniper office and be late for the exam.

Plan for tomorrow: go to the lab and get the job done.

Episode 9 – What Your Mamma Never Told You About OSPF

As a continuation of our deep dives into routing protocols, this episode of Network Collective takes a closer look at OSPF. What does graph theory, CAP theorem, and distributed databases have to do with routing? What exactly is that type 4 LSA for? What is OSPF really good for? These and other questions are discussed by our guests Russ White and Nick Russo.

IDG Contributor Network: How AI is transforming healthcare for the benefit of patients

The development of artificial intelligence has made staggering leaps forward in recent years, with products like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa now dotting living rooms and businesses across the nation. While AI has wasted little time in shaking up the foundations of most established industries, the field of healthcare, in particular, stands to be fundamentally transformed by this burgeoning technology.So what exactly does the future of AI hold for the healthcare industry? How are doctors and industry insiders preparing themselves, and what might it mean for patients' futures?Harnessing the power of machines More and more prudent investors are realizing that emerging data analytics capabilities are only the start of a forthcoming revolution. As health records are increasingly digitized, doctors and nurses will find themselves capable of ordering AI programs to sift through huge swaths of data to find meaningful trends that lie below the surface. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are able to perfectly archive and retrieve even the most complex sets of data, often doing so with greater efficiency than humans.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Check these 5 things when you add new technologies on your network

Networks can be really simple but we insist on making it complex !   If you are adding new technologies onto an existing network, these sorts of questions should be kept in mind:   1. What can be broken?   You need to make sure, when you add new protocols or technologies on to an […]
