Like most of you, I first heard of Cloudflare via this blog. I read about HTTP/2, Railgun, the Hundredth Data Center, and Keyless SSL — but I never thought I would work here. I, along with my co-founder Adam, and our friends and coworkers were hard at work building something very different. We were working on a tool which spent most of its life in the web browser, not on servers all around the world: an app store for your website. Using our tool a website owner could find and install any of over a hundred apps which could help them collect feedback from their visitors, sell products on their site, or even make their site faster.
Our goal was to create a way for every website owner to find and install all of the open-source and SaaS tools technical experts use everyday. As developers ourselves, we wanted to make it possible for a developer in her basement to build the next great tool and get it on a million websites (and make a million dollars) the next day. We didn’t want her to succeed because she had the biggest sales or marketing team, or the most Continue reading
Analysts take the view that Arista is winning the legal battle with Cisco

High-speed scale-out load balancing is a Mission Impossible. You can get the correct abstraction at the wrong cost or another layer of indirection (to paraphrase the authors of Fastly load balancing solution).
However, once every third blue moon you might get a team of smart engineers focused on optimal solutions to real-life problems. The result: a layer of misdirection, a combination of hardware ECMP and server-level traffic redirection. Enjoy!
Here is your fresh IPv6 fix: Tenth iNOG, namely iNOG::A, is all about IPv6 experience.
Technical talks are:
1) Orla McGann (HEAnet) An Irish IPv6 Fairytale
2) Nathalie Trenaman (RIPE) The Sad Tale of 462 Operators Who Switched Off IPv6* (*with a happy ending)
3) Ed Horley (Groupware Technology) IPv6 Operating Challenges
Particulary interesting talk was given by Nathalie from RIPE who was talking about IPv6 global perception seen from RIPE point-of-view.

Athena Health came to Cumulus Networks looking for a way to bring greater efficiency to their network at an affordable cost. After partnering with our services team, they realized that being a Cumulus Networks customer meant they were getting a lot more than reduced costs.
Athena Health provides a unique all-in-one solution that includes network-enabled electronic health record (EHR), practice management, care coordination, patient engagement, and population health services. Essentially, they help ensure that doctors can focus on their patients rather than administrative work.
If a doctor cannot access a patient’s information due to an issue with Athena’s network, the result could literally be fatal. In the past, the team had leaned on more-traditional technology and skillsets, but scalability was getting too costly. When Athena began exploring their options, they were looking to expand their data center in a cost-effective way. But once they found Cumulus Networks, they realized they didn’t have to sacrifice powerful technology for cost.
After speaking with Athena Health, we knew exactly how we could help. Our experienced services team worked directly with the engineers at Athena to provide hands-on, customized implementation advice in the form of Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) scripts which allow their data Continue reading
