Most networks today (including Plexxi solutions) are built as distributed networks. This type of infrastructure reduces complexity and significantly increases network capabilities. Our own Marten Terpstra took a deep dive into the future of distributed networks this week on the Plexxi blog. He identifies and breaks down the “central command” system of today’s distributed networks, and its impact on the functionality of network solutions as a whole. Give it a read before you head out for the weekend.
Below please find a few of our top picks for our favorite news articles of the week. Have a great weekend!
