Book review: The Book of GNS3
No Starch Press recently offered me a preview copy of a new book about the GNS3 network simulator, titled The Book of GNS3 written by Jason Neumann. This book covers the new version of GNS3, GNS3 1.x. Here is my review of The Book of GNS3.
The Book of GNS3 effectively serves as a user manual for GNS3. It offers detailed installation and configuration information for GNS3 1.x in one easy-to-access volume. Experienced users will find some new information in this book, especially about the new features available in GNS3 1.x. However, I think the main beneficiaries will be new or inexperienced users of GNS3.
GNS3 is usually used by people who wish to emulate networks of commercial routers from vendors such as Cisco and Juniper. Understandably, Mr. Neumann spends most of the book discussing how to set up GNS3 to run commercial routers and, as much as is possible, switches.
How does this book help those who want to use open-source routers in GNS3? Read the rest of my review to find out.

Interviewing for the “Ideal Candidate”: Looking for “Nerdvana” – New Packet Pushers Blog
I was going through a stock photo website the other day and came across a “formula” that was supposed to equal the “perfect job candidate”. I chuckled a little out loud. The person sitting next to me looked over at what was on my laptop screen. Paused. Then asked me what I look for when I’m interviewing someone. What is my “perfect job candidate?”

Flocker – Docker Data volumes
In this blog, I will cover Flocker from ClusterHQ which is used for Container data/volume management. I will cover some Flocker basics and some hands-on stuff that I tried with Flocker. Docker Volumes: Docker volumes are used to store persistent data that is outside the scope of the Container Union file system. 1 common example … Continue reading Flocker – Docker Data volumes

Speaking Geek at Solarwinds’ Thwack Community
Thwack!
For the new few months in addition to posting here, I’ll be making some blog posts over on Solarwinds‘ Thwack Community in their “Geek Speak” blogs, on the general topic of network management. I won’t be reposting the content here, but I’ll be sharing the links each time I post, and I hope you can find a moment to read them, rate the post if you are that way inclined, and maybe even comment! I know have some very smart readers, and Thwack has some smart users too, so the conversation should be great!
Solarwinds Thwack is a light-hearted community providing specific product support and templates for Solarwinds products, but also offering more general support on networking-related issues through blogs, community forums and product forums. It’s kind of a fun place to dig around, and the users are usually not short of an opinion on most topics. Signing up for an account is easy and free, and then you can post comments and join in the discussion!
Here’s the intro to the first post in the series, called “Do You Monitor Your Network Interfaces? at Geek Speak”
Hope to see you over there!

IoT analytics brings new levels of innovation to new product development
Studies show that around 40% of products fail. But what if product designers could understand what features are most and least popular, which components tend to fail sooner than others, and how customers actually use products versus how designers think they use them? And, what if product developers could then utilize these insights to develop products that perform better, potentially cost less and, most importantly, are aligned with actual customer needs?
Innovative product development teams in pretty much every industry are beginning to look at ways to translate enormous streams of real time machine data into actionable information to improve the product development process by understanding where product innovation is necessary, which features are most desirable, and how to lower their overall cost of ownership.
