Announcing Calico Enterprise 3.5: New ways to automate, simplify and accelerate Kubernetes adoption and deployment

We are thrilled to announce the availability of Calico Enterprise 3.5, which delivers deep observability across the entire Kubernetes stack, from application to networking layers (L3–L7). This release also includes data plane support for Windows and eBPF, in addition to the standard Linux data plane. These new capabilities are designed to automate, simplify and accelerate Kubernetes adoption and deployment. Here are highlights from the release…

Application-level security and observability: Get the benefits of a service mesh, minus the operational complexity

The majority of operational problems inherent to deploying microservices in a distributed architecture are linked to two areas: security and observability. At the application level, the need to understand all aspects associated with service-to-service communication within the cluster becomes paramount. DevOps teams often struggle with these questions: Where is monitoring needed? How can I understand the impact of issues and effectively troubleshoot? How can I effectively protect application-level data?

If observability and security are your primary drivers for considering a service mesh, Calico provides L3–L7 observability and security without the additional overhead associated with a service mesh. Calico integrates Envoy at the node level to provide deep observability of microservices at the application level. Since HTTP is one of Continue reading

COVID-19 upends disaster recovery planning

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaps in enterprise disaster recovery and business continuity planning in areas such as remote access, networking, SaaS applications and ransomware. Over the past year, IT execs have been scrambling to plug those gaps and update DR plans on the fly.More significantly, the pandemic triggered fundamental IT changes at many organizations, including a hasty migration of applications to the cloud, an acceleration of digital transformation efforts, the emergency provisioning of new systems and services outside of traditional procurement procedures, and, in many industries, the emergence a new category of full-time, work-at-home employees who are handling mission-critical data on their personal devices.To read this article in full, please click here

Arm talks 40% and 50% better performance from 2 new server chips

Arm Holdings has disclosed details of its two new server-processor designs, Neoverse N2 and Neoverse V1, as well as an updated high-speed mesh to connect its processors.The two designs were introduced last September but Arm was mum on performance. Now it's talking numbers.The Neoverse V1 is designed for scale-up servers, especially high-performance computing (HPC). It supports for Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) and delivers more than a 50% performance increase over the N1 for HPC machine-learning workloads.To read this article in full, please click here

Blogging Rule#1: Own Your Content

During my interview with David Bombal I made a recommendation I find crucial for anyone serious about blogging:

Make sure you own your content.

There’s a simple reason for that rule: if you want to write quality content, you’ll have to invest a lot of time into it.

802.1X: What you need to know about this LAN-authentication standard

When devics on enterprise LANs need to connect to other devices, they need a standard method for identifying each other to ensure they are communicating with the device they want to, and that's what 802.1x does. This article tells where it came from and how it works.802.1x defined IEEE 802.1X is a standard that defines how to provide authentication for devices that connect with other devices on local area networks (LANs).How to deploy 802.1x for Wi-Fi using WPA3 enterprise It provides a mechanism by which network switches and access points can hand off authentication duties to a specialized authentication server, like a RADIUS server, so that device authentication on a network can be managed and updated centrally, rather than distributed across multiple pieces of networking hardware.To read this article in full, please click here
