Question on Reddit Ok, this is a weird question and I’ll probably get some flak for this, but is there any real proof that an SFP (1000BASE) transceiver cannot be at the end of a QSFP+ breakout? Afaik QSA type adapters are just splitters but leave the other 3 out as evidenced by how they […]

I am honoured to have been selected as a delegate for Tech Field Day during Cisco Live Europe 2019 in Barcelona!
Cisco Live Europe will take place from the 27th of January until Friday 1st.
I am really looking forward to this opportunity. There are some really great names among the list of delegates that I hope to be interacting with quite a lot, both during and after the event.
I am still to receive the official list of presenters, so I can’t tell you just who all the presenters will be, but im sure the Tech Field Day crew will release that information shortly.
When possible, I will be blogging about the presenters for sure. Also, during the event I will be posting to twitter so stay tuned.
A big thank you to Ben and Tom from Tech Field Day for extending an invitation! I can’t wait!
Until then, take care!

Hello World This is an overview of what I think Cisco ACI actually is. It uses some examples from the lab environment to show you how the things look like when you start to work with ACI. There are other articles in the works which will be online soon and which will go in details through the real configuration of ACI and best practices while doing it. What is this Cisco ACI Fabric? Cisco ACI is a datacenter network Fabric. It actually means that it is a networking system of more networking L3 switches that have a modified, next-generation OS

2018 was a big year for NSX-T Data Center, VMware’s network virtualization platform designed and optimized for application workloads running on both vSphere and non-vSphere environments, container platforms, and public clouds. In addition to supporting core use cases around security, automation, and multi-cloud networking, NSX-T Data Center has continued to expand the capabilities of the platform to include enabling networking and security for emerging use cases around containers and cloud-native applications. To support these use cases and increasingly deliver value to customers, NSX-T Data Center saw new versions released, improvements made to plug-ins, and integrations across an expanding ecosystem. 2018 also saw NSX-T Data Center gain significant momentum in terms of customer adoption, delivering enhanced and new capabilities across all use cases to a quickly growing number of customer deployments.
In June, NSX-T Data Center 2.2 was released, bringing with this the ability to manage Microsoft Azure based workloads, referred to as NSX Cloud. The NSX-T Data Center platform was also updated to provide networking and security infrastructure for VMware Cloud on AWS. Other notable capabilities included enhanced data path mode in N-VDS, an improved controller cluster deployment experience, guest Continue reading
In just over one year, Microsoft support for Windows Server 2008 will come to an end. Without the proper planning in place, the ripple effects may impact your business. The cost of maintenance will skyrocket, while security and compliance risks will increase without regular patches.
So, how can companies beat the clock? The short answer is enterprise container platforms can provide a fast and simple way to transform expensive and difficult-to-maintain applications into efficient, secure and portable applications ready for modern infrastructure – whether current Windows Server releases (such as WS 2016 or later) and/or into the cloud. Taking this approach saves a significant amount of money and improves security and performance across the application lifecycle.
We are already seeing immediate demand from customers in modernizing their existing Windows Server applications in preparation for the end of support in January 2020 – here are five key takeaways we have learned in the process.
The fact is that most data in the largest businesses (or companies) in the world run on legacy applications. And these applications can continue to provide value if enterprises containerize and migrate them to modern environments to make them more Continue reading
