If you are a young entrepreneur and have a bit of money that you want to invest in some tech businesses for sale, then here are the top 5 types of tech businesses that you may want to consider buying.
With so many people these days looking for ways to work online, becoming a blogging expert is an advantage. That’s why buying a blog consulting business may be a great business for you. Blog consulting is one of the tech businesses for sale, and it is much easier to buy an existing business then to start a blog consulting business from scratch.
As a blog consultant, you may help different people set up and run their blogs. As your business grows, you can also farm out blog related projects to others and take a percentage of the proceeds for each job.
A social media consulting business may be a great business to buy, especially if the business is already up and running and has several great consultants on staff. Social media consulting is big business these days and can cover everything from social media marketing to advising people Continue reading

When Cloudflare first launched in 2010, network security still relied heavily on physical security. To connect to a private network, most users simply needed to be inside the walls of the office. Once on that network, users could connect to corporate applications and infrastructure.
When users left the office, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) became a bandaid to let users connect back into that office network. Administrators poked holes in their firewall that allowed traffic to route back through headquarters. The backhaul degraded user experience and organizations had no visibility into patterns and events that occurred once users were on the network.
Cloudflare Access launched two years ago to replace that model with an identity-based solution built on Cloudflare’s global network. Instead of a private network, teams secure applications with Cloudflare’s network. Cloudflare checks every request to those applications for identity, rather than IP ranges, and accelerates those connections using the same network that powers some of the world’s largest web properties.
In this zero-trust model, Cloudflare Access checks identity on every request - not just the initial login to a VPN client. Administrators build rules that Cloudflare’s network continuously enforces. Each request is evaluated for permission and logged for Continue reading
In this episode of The Routing Table Podcast Rick and Melchior ask Juniper Networks Distinguished Engineer Julian Lucek everything about Segment Routing.
We start with some basics and discuss differences between SR-MPLS, SRv6 and SRm6. We also look into why choosing one over the other.

A few weeks ago I described the basics of AWS networking, now it’s time to describe how different Azure is.
As always, it would be best to watch my Azure Networking webinar to get the details. This blog post is the abridged CliffsNotes version of the webinar (and here‘s the reason I won’t write a similar blog post for other public clouds ;).

With many people being forced to work from home, there’s increased load on consumer ISPs. You may be asking yourself: how well is my ISP performing with even more traffic? Today we’re announcing the general availability of speed.cloudflare.com, a way to gain meaningful insights into exactly how well your network is performing.
We’ve seen a massive shift from users accessing the Internet from busy office districts to spread out urban areas.
Although there are a slew of speed testing tools out there, none of them give you precise insights into how they came to those measurements and how they map to real-world performance. With speed.cloudflare.com, we give you insights into what we’re measuring and how exactly we calculate the scores for your network connection. Best of all, you can easily download the measurements from right inside the tool if you’d like to perform your own analysis.
We also know you care about privacy. We believe that you should know what happens with the results generated by this tool. Many other tools sell the data to third parties. Cloudflare does not sell your data. Performance data is collected and anonymized and is governed by the terms of Continue reading

Here’s the final push before we hit the summer break at the end of June (and recover a bit from the relentless production of new content we had throughout the first half of 2020):
Many years ago I attended a presentation by Dave Meyers on network complexity—which set off an entire line of thinking about how we build networks that are just too complex. While it might be interesting to dive into our motivations for building networks that are just too complex, I starting thinking about how to classify and understand the complexity I was seeing in all the networks I touched. Of course, my primary interest is in how to build networks that are less complex, rather than just understanding complexity…
This led me to do a lot of reading, write some drafts, and then write a book. During this process, I ended coining what I call the complexity triad—State, Optimization, and Surface. If you read the book on complexity, you can see my views on what the triad consisted of changed through in the writing—I started out with volume (of state), speed (of state), and optimization. Somehow, though, interaction surfaces need to play a role in the complexity puzzle.
First, you create interaction surface when you modularize anything—and you modularize to control state (the scope to set apart failure domains, the speed and volume to enable scaling). Second, adding interaction surfaces Continue reading
