Who is selling NaaS, and what do you get?

Vendors of all stripes—network hardware vendors, telcos, hyperscalers, and a new generation of cloud-based upstarts—are jumping on the network-as-a-service (NaaS) bandwagon, so it can be confusing to sort out who is offering what.Even the definition of NaaS is somewhat fluid. Is NaaS simply procuring networking gear on a pay-as-you go, subscription basis rather than buying it? Is NaaS just a different way of describing a managed service?Or is NaaS something fundamentally different that addresses a growing challenge for network execs: how to provide network connectivity, resiliency, security, and scalability in a multicloud world?To read this article in full, please click here

Bridging The Gap Between ‘Default Yes’ And ‘Default No’

I’ve encountered two basic philosophies for responding to requests to join a project. One philosophy I’ll describe as “Default Yes”. The argument goes, “If someone brings you a request, say yes! You only grow with challenges and if you say no too much, people will stop asking.” The second philosophy could be called “Default No.” […]

Cisco to launch an extended detection and response SaaS package

Cisco is taking its first major step into Extended Detection and Response (XDR) with a SaaS-delivered integrated system of endpoint, network, firewall, email and identity software aimed at protecting enterprise resources.Cisco’s XDR service, which will be available July, brings together myriad Cisco and third-party security products to control network access, analyze incidents, remediate threats, and automate response all from a single cloud-based interface. The offering gathers six telemetry sources that Security Operations Center (SOC) operators say are critical for an XDR solution: endpoint, network, firewall, email, identity, and DNS, Cisco stated.To read this article in full, please click here

Introducing VMware Secure App IX

Today, we are thrilled to announce VMware Secure App IX, a new offering designed to help cloud IT and Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) teams achieve borderless governance and compliance by securely connecting applications in multi-cloud environments and application teams and lines of business (LOB) by accelerating their digital transformation initiatives.

Enterprises are increasingly running applications in the cloud to drive innovation, agility, and growth. As organizations adopt multi-cloud strategies to leverage the strengths of different cloud providers, they face new challenges with ensuring secure and compliant application connectivity across clouds and platforms.

In their drive to innovate and compete, enterprises have embraced multiple cloud environments. Multi-cloud adoption has increased the need for seamless and secure application connectivity across disparate clouds, app workloads, data services, and application architectures.

Needs of Cloud IT & CCoE Teams

Cloud IT and Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) teams must address many complex requirements when providing secure connectivity for applications running in the cloud. Let’s look at some of these requirements in more detail.

Any-to-Any Secure Connectivity

Enterprise application modernization is an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. As new technologies emerge and business needs evolve, enterprises must continually update and modernize their Continue reading

Understanding Linux file system types

You may not spend much time contemplating the characteristics of the file systems on your Linux system, but the differences between the various file system types can be both interesting and highly relevant. This article explains commands that you can use to verify your file system types and describes their differences.Commands that report file system types There are a number of Linux commands that will display file system types along with the file system names, mount points and such. Some will also display sizes and available disk space.Using df -Th The df command with the "T" (show file system type) and "h" (use human-friendly sizes) options provides a very useful look at the file systems on a Linux system.

Network Identity Redefined for Zero Trust Enterprises

Network Identity Redefined for Zero Trust Enterprises

The perimeter of networks is changing and collapsing. In a zero trust network, no one and no thing is trusted from inside or outside of the enterprise network without verification or network access control (NAC). However, for years, organizations have been saddled with bolt-on NAC  technologies that deliver cost complexity while failing to be effective. Instead, security-conscious organizations are shifting to a “microperimeter” enterprise that embeds security into the network infrastructure as the proactive way to defend today’s wider attack surface.

Intel seeks momentum two years into Gelsinger’s turnaround effort

When Pat Gelsinger returned to Intel as its CEO in February 2021, he took over a company that had been battered by mismanagement and weakened by competition.Intel had lost significant ground in process-node development to Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC. While TSMC was making transistors at 7nm, Intel was struggling to get 10nm. AMD was besting Intel in both client and server performance and taking more market share with each passing quarter. Nvidia was on its steady march of domination in the GPU market and gaining mindshare as the ultimate AI processing vendor.To read this article in full, please click here

Use Existing Device Configurations in netlab

Anne Baretta decided to use netlab to test a proposed DMVPN topology. As netlab doesn’t support DMVPN (and probably never will), he decided to use netlab capabilities to start the lab topology and perform initial configuration, adding DMVPN configuration commands as custom configurations. Here’s how he described the process:

In this case I used netlab as a quick way to get a topology up and running, and then add the DMVPN configuration by hand.

Counting current live readers

Once upon a time it was popular to put a counter on your web page, to show how many people had visited the site before you. I thought it be more fun, and less bragging about how long the page has existed, if it just showed who’s reading it now.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m learning Rust. My teaching project has been to make this web widget that shows the current number of browsers that that have the page open.

You see this counter here on the blog in the top right.

The idea is pretty simple. Have some javascript open a websocket to a server, and stream down messages with the current count, as it changes. When a client connects or disconnects, inform all other clients of the new total.

This does mean that it needs to keep one TCP connection open per client, which may be too costly for some sites. Especially since I’m putting it behind an nginx, so the machine needs to keep 3x the state.

I’m not logging anything to disk, nor sharing anything between the clients except for the current count. It’s just an amusing publicly visible presence counter.

Actually, because Continue reading
