Docker: Install software inside a container
In the first post of this series we left with a running Ubuntu 15.04 container. Now it’s time to install software inside the container. A container is “stateless”, meaning any file change inside a container is lost when the container…Overwhelmed – CCDE
I am preparing for the CCDE written exam, which I have coming up at CLUS.
There are so much material to go through, both to read as well as watch CL presentations, it can be a bit overwhelming at times.
So if you are thinking about going down this path, learn how to speed-read

Auvik Networks Named a 2015 Cool Vendor by Gartner!
We're super-excited to have earned this industry recognition. Here's the official press release, which you can also read on the AuvikFive reasons threat intelligence fails today, and how to overcome them

As cyber security threats have become increasingly sophisticated and pervasive, it’s become impossible to identify and defend against every probable attack with traditional security budgets.

IT/IT: A GUI and a Wizard
One of the brilliant things about conferences like Interop is the hallways (and if you’re not going to Interop, this is why you should be!).

One of my major problems in life is I often can’t think of a solid answer when I’m sitting there in the conversation itself (one of the reasons I always converted TAC cases to email, rather than sitting on the phone with a customer).
One such conversation (with @cigoodwi) brought out a phrase I thought I’d never hear in the networking world — “a GUI and a wizard.” The context was this: what most x% (your beliefs about the percentage may vary) companies need is a network they can run with a GUI and a wizard. It’s a startling statement, of course, but — in reality — true in many respects. Given this is our Continue reading
SNA was Awful. SDN Isn’t Awful (Yet)
