2020 Goals

Its 2020 a new year and a new decade. I want to start the next decade with a bang and not spend it like I spend the last decade working myself to death. My goals for this year are primarily personal. I still have career related goals but they are not my primary focus. 2020 Goals 10% body...

Wi-Fi 6 will slowly gather steam in 2020

The next big wave of Wi-Fi technology, 802.11ax, is going to become more commonplace in enterprise installations over the course of the coming year, just as the marketing teams for the makers of Wi-Fi equivalent will have you believe. Yet the rosiest predictions of revolutionary change in what enterprise Wi-Fi is capable of are still a bit farther off than 2020, according to industry experts.The crux of the matter is that, while access points with 802.11ax’s Wi-Fi 6 branding will steadily move into enterprise deployments in, the broader Wi-Fi ecosystem will not be dominated by the new standard for several years, according to Farpoint Group principal Craig Mathias.To read this article in full, please click here

A new spin on interconnects for colocation data centers

It has been almost a year since I first wrote about Stateless, Inc., a startup devoted to bringing software-defined interconnects (SD-IX) to colocation data centers. At that time, the company was just announcing its plans to reinvent the means to connect workloads across data centers, hyperscale clouds and on-premises footprints using SD-IX. The intent was to give colo service providers a simpler way to quickly deploy network services for their tenants. Those plans have come to fruition and the company has announced the general availability (GA) of its Luxon SD-IX platform.To read this article in full, please click here

Benefits of modern campus networking

Call it “trickle-down networking” if you like. But what has long been possible—and even best practice— in data center networking is now moving aggressively into and onto campus networking ecosystems. And with that move companies and organizations can realize numerous benefits in or on the campus networks they own or operate. As readers peruse this list of potential benisons, they’ll undoubtedly hit hot buttons with their users (thanks to increased features and functionality) and with management (thanks to cost savings and improved efficiencies that reduce staff time commitments and involvement).

Delivering key capabilities

With the adoption of data center tools and technologies in campus networks, a handful of key capabilities becomes available throughout. These include Power over Ethernet (PoE), which makes it possible to extend services more easily and affordably, and to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities more directly (such as sensors, surveillance cameras, ID badge readers and so forth). In addition, networks gain ready access to 802.1X capabilities when they adopt a data center model, including improved and more powerful authentication mechanisms, as well as access and security control.

Moving to data center-oriented networks usually also brings voice VLANs into the networking picture. This not only offers Continue reading

The Week in Internet News: New Chinese Law Regulates Encryption

Crypto-regulation: A new law in China regulates the use of encryption, but it’s aimed at strengthening it, at least in some settings, Reuters reports. The law is aimed at aiding the development of a digital currency in China, and it is focused on “facilitating the development of the cryptography business and ensuring the security of cyberspace and information,” according to the official Xinhua news agency said. The law also that all state secrets be stored and transmitted using “core and common” encryption, Engadget says.

What to know before upgrading to Windows Server 2019

IT generally requires a good reason to disrupt a smooth working environment, which is why some hardware sits deployed for decades. Even though Windows Server 2016 is relatively young, there’s a decent argument to be made for upgrading a Server 2016 environment to Server 2019, the most recent release.There’s a longer span between Windows Server releases than the desktop version of the software because of slower migration habits on the server side, and this means bigger changes between releases. Windows Server 2016 was the first server OS built on the Windows 10 kernel, and some of the changes were rather rough. Windows Server 2019 is markedly faster, and it has a number of changes under the hood, from security to hybrid cloud integration. Here’s a rundown of what’s new and what are the most compelling arguments for upgrade.To read this article in full, please click here
