Worth Reading: Lessons Learned from 20 Years of Hype Cycles
Michael Mullany analyzed 20 years of Gartner hype cycles and got some (expected but still interesting) conclusions including:
- Nobody noticed major technologies even when they were becoming mainstream
- Lots of technologies just die, others make progress when nobody is looking
- We might get the idea right and fail badly at implementation
- It takes a lot longer to solve some problems than anyone expected
Enjoy the reading, and keep these lessons in mind the next time you’ll be sitting in a software-defined, intent-based or machine-learning $vendor presentation.
New hosting Space on AWS
My blog was at https://r2079.wordpress.com and its now moved to https://r2079.com. Why this change?
First and Foremost – Thrill and Challenge
Secondly – Customization and Cost
Don’t get me wrong, I dint migrate because I wanted to get into web development, its not the case and Am not even at intermediate Level there!
Why – This is a custom domain. This is hosted with Route53 Amazon, WordPress is build on AWS custom instance. The Reasons are very simple
- I Wanted to include short flash videos in my old blog, word press apparently dint allow it
- Secondly, I wanted to take frequent backups – was only possible with a huge yearly cost for customization
- Paying for 1 Route53 domain, opened a lot of DNS options, I cancelled my Dynsubscription which was costing 54 Euros per year, while AWS would get most of it witht 12 USD.
- Most Importantly, I don’t have to pay anything just to block Ads!
So, This is where it is, I will try to maintain the website now and see how this goes, Till now Infrastructure was maintained and patched by WordPress , from now probably i have to take care of it.

The Hedge Podcast 40: Greg Ferro and the Path from Automated to Autonomic
The indomitable Greg Ferro joins this episode of the Hedge to talk about the path from automated to autonomic, including why you shouldn’t put everything into “getting automation right,” and why you still need to know the basics even if we reach a completely autonomic world.
Advancing from VMware NSX for vSphere to NSX-T
We introduced VMware NSX to the market over seven years ago. The platform has helped thousands of customers worldwide transform their network and bring the public cloud experience on-premises. This resulted in higher levels of automation and insight, which, in turn, saved time and money. However, as customers continued to drive new use cases and requirements, we wanted to ensure NSX was completely future-ready; hence NSX-T was born.
The Next Generation of NSX is NSX-T
NSX-T is the next generation of network virtualization and security platform with a complete L2-L7 suite of services, delivering switching, routing, firewalling, analytics, and load balancing entirely in software. Unlike NSX-V, NSX-T supports a variety of heterogeneous endpoints such as VMs, containers, and bare metal servers. The platform enables a wide range of use-cases in intrinsic security, networking and security for multi-cloud and modern apps, and network automation. The past few releases delivered many new networking and security innovations on NSX-T, prominent among these are the ultimate crown jewels of the platform – NSX Intelligence, Federation, and NSX Distributed IDS/IPS.
Migrating from NSX for vSphere to NSX-T is top of mind for customers that need to transition. Here are answers to some questions that you, Continue reading

Cisco Live: A Look Back – Part 2
Networking Conferences play a big role in many of our professional lives and Cisco Live is the biggest one when it comes to networking. This year being what it is, we’re seeing our favorite in person events being transformed into virtual, online-only events. Considering how much community can play a role in how these events make an impact, we figured we would wax nostalgic on past events, share some favorite memories, and explore how this one event came to be significant for so many of us.
Rather than a single continuous conversation made up of a group of talking heads, we’ve recorded this episode in segments. Each one focusing on one person’s experiences with the conference. Also, due to the length, we’ve split this episode into two parts. This is part 2. Part 1 should also be available in your podcatcher, or if you’re listening to this on our website you can find part 1 here.

Virtual Interning Offers Unique Challenges and Opportunities
I am in my third year at Northeastern University, pursuing an undergraduate degree in Marketing and Psychology. Five months ago I joined Cloudflare as an intern on the APAC Marketing team in the beautiful Singapore office. When searching for internships Cloudflare stood out as a place I could gain skills in marketing, learn from amazing mentors, and have space to take ownership in projects. As a young, but well-established company, Cloudflare provides the resources for their interns to work cross functionally and creatively and truly be a part of the exponential growth of the company.
My experience at Cloudflare
Earlier this week, I hopped on a virtual meeting with a few coworkers, thinking everything was set to record a webinar. As I shared my screen to explain how to navigate the platform I realised the set up was incorrect and we couldn’t start on time. Due to the virtual nature of the meeting, my coworkers didn’t see the panic on my face and had no idea what was going on. I corrected the issue and set up an additional trial run session, issuing apologies to both coworkers. They both took it in stride and expressed that it happens to the Continue reading
Equal Routes
In highload cloud networks there is so much traffic that even 100G/400G port speeds do not suffice, so sharing the load over multiple links is the only feasible solution.
