IDG Contributor Network: Red Hat and the IBM play in hybrid cloud

Clear battle lines are emerging between the various hybrid cloud market participants. For both vendors and enterprises, the stakes are high and there will be clear winners and losers in the years ahead as cloud moves from hyperbole to an operating model.On one side, we have the hyperscale cloud providers fighting it out for market share in public cloud, but with a noticeable increase in focus on offering on-prem solutions and then we have the server vendors on the other side, bridging from their installed base of on-premises infrastructure into cloud via hybrid models using open source as well as legacy virtualization platforms as the pathway to modernized IT architecture.To read this article in full, please click here

Enterprises find new uses for mainframes: blockchain and containerized apps

News flash: Mainframes still aren't dead.On the contrary, mainframe use is increasing, and not to run COBOL, either. Mainframes are being eyed for modern technologies including blockchain and containers.A survey of 153 IT decision makers found that 50% of organizations will continue with the mainframe and increase its use over the next two years, while just 5% plan to decrease or remove mainframe activity. The survey was conducted by Forrester Research and commissioned by Ensono, a hybrid IT services provider, and Wipro Limited, a global IT consulting services company.

Tokalabs Software Defined Labs automates configuration of lab test-beds

Network environments have become so complex that companies such as systems integrators, equipment manufacturers and enterprise organizations feel compelled to test their configurations and equipment in lab environments before deployment. Performance test labs are used extensively for quality, proof of concept, customer support, and technical sales initiatives. Labs are the perfect place to see how well something performs before it’s put into a production environment.The primary challenge of running a test lab is the amount of time it takes to provision the test environments. A network lab infrastructure might include switches, routers, servers, virtual machines running on various server clusters, security services, cloud resources, software and so on. It takes considerable time to wire the configurations, physically build the desired test beds, login to each individual device and load the proper software configurations. Quite often, lab staffers spend more time on setup than they do on conducting actual tests.To read this article in full, please click here

Fundamentals of MPLS LSPs

One of the items that often trips folks up with MPLS is the concept of label switched paths or LSPs. We’ve talked about them extensively before in many of the blog posts here and I’ve described them a couple of different ways. Many people look at an LSP as a sort of unidirectional tunnel. In fact, most network diagrams aiming to describe an LSP often show it just as that – a tunnel. It’s an easy thing to visualize especially when you start talking about nested tunnels or LSPs inside of LSPs, but I also think it can be rather confusing. This becomes even more confusing when people start talking about end to end LSPs or how a service label is the same end to end as traffic traverses an LSP. What does that mean? Where does an LSP start or stop? Is it really a tunnel? How far can an LSP reach? What if we run different label distribution protocols? In this post, and perhaps the next, I hope to address these questions as well as talk about how we can solve some of the common problems that are often encountered with LSPs.

So let’s dive right in and Continue reading

Network pros react to new Cisco certification curriculum

Software skills are set to play a more prominent role in Cisco’s network engineering curriculum. The company is launching a new coding-focused certification track, as well as giving its existing certifications a major revamp to address software-defined networking (SDN), automation, the Internet of Things, and other emerging technologies that are changing the job requirements for today’s network professionals. "They’re not trying to turn network folks into developers, but they are certainly trying to make it easier for us to do our job," says Dan Groscost, solutions architect at Computer Design & Integration, an IT services firm based in New York, N.Y. Groscost holds a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification, and he’s in the final stages of his Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Route/Switch certification.  To read this article in full, please click here
