Teridion says its technology optimizes the middle mile of connectivity between public cloud providers and ISPs, but where enterprises have no control. And Citrix brings SD-WAN to the first and last mile of enterprises.
It might have been difficult to see this happening a mere few years ago, but the National Nuclear Security Administration and one of its key supercomputing sites are looking past Intel to Arm-based supercomputers in hopes of reaching efficiency and memory bandwidth targets needed for nuclear stockpile simulations. …

This new Research Brief from AvidThink delves into the evolution of the mobile network and explores new threats.
CenturyLink adds another Level 3 employee to C-Suite; Intel reorganizes its chip manufacturing business; and Docker expands its leadership team.
The vendor recently announced plans to slash thousands of jobs as part of a major corporate restructuring.
This round of layoffs follows several recent departures from Cisco’s senior executive team.
This article is a chapter from my book Explain the Cloud Like I'm 10. It has 30 reviews on Amazon! If you like this chapter then you'll love the book.
The cloud is always busy proactively working for you in the background. That’s how cloud services compete with each other to keep you in their ecosystem.
Most of the cloud services we’ve talked about so far have been request driven. You initiate a request and the cloud does something for you. You read a book. You search for the nearest coffee shop. You navigate to a destination. You send a message. You play a movie.
Handling direct requests is not all a cloud is good for. In fact, the biggest potential of the cloud is how it can proactively perform jobs for you in the background, without you asking or even knowing that it can be done.
Let’s set this up:
Packet is working with other tower owners besides SBA on similar projects. The company plans to install around 50 new sites.

Do you present to an audience? Odds are good that most of us have had to do it more than once in our life or career. Some of us do it rather often. And there’s no shortage of advice out there about how to present to an audience. A lot of it is aimed at people that are trying to speak to a general audience. Still more of it is designed as a primer on how to speak to executives, often from a sales pitch perspective. But, how do you present to the people that get stuff done? Instead of honing your skills for the C-Suite, let’s look at what it takes to present to the D-Suite.
If you’ve listened to a presentation aimed at execs any time recently, such as on Shark Tank or Dragon’s Den, you know all about The Problem. It’s a required part of every introduction. You need to present a huge problem that needs to be solved. You need to discuss why this problem is so important. Once you’ve got every head nodding, that’s when you jump in with your solution. You highlight why you are the only person that can do Continue reading
IT infrastructure vendors are embracing software and service-based options, and developing a host of innovative technologies. Our list highlights the ones to watch.
Here’s a question I got from someone attending the Building Next-Generation Data Center online course:
Cisco NCS5000 is positioned as a building block for a data center MPLS fabric – a leaf-and-spine fabric with MPLS and EVPN control plane. This raised a question regarding MPLS vs VXLAN: why would one choose to build an MPLS-based fabric instead of a VXLAN-based one assuming hardware costs are similar?
There’s a fundamental difference between MPLS- and VXLAN-based transport: the amount of coupling between edge and core devices.

I have a real soft spot for approximate computations. In general, we waste a lot of resources on overly accurate analyses when understanding the trends and / or the neighbourhood is quite good enough (do you really need to know it’s 78.763895% vs 78 ± 1%?). You can always drill in with more accuracy if the approximate results hint at something interesting or unexpected.
Approximate analytics is an area that has gathered attention in big data analytics, where the goal is to let the user trade-off accuracy for much faster results.
(See e.g. ApproxHadoop which we covered on The Morning Paper a while back).
In the realm of graph processing, graph pattern mining algorithms, which discover structural patterns in a graph, can reveal very interesting things in our data but struggle to scale to larger graphs. This is in contrast to graph analysis algorithms such as PageRank which typically compute properties of a graph using neighbourhood information.
Today, a deluge of graph processing frameworks exist, both in academia and open-source… a vast majority of the existing graph processing frameworks however have focused on graph Continue reading
This is my Stealthwatch playground…. errrr… I mean … ahem… “work environment” for a Technical Solution Workshop I am working on for Stealthwatch.
Going to set up FTDv and FMC today. A co-worker and friend, Scott Barasch, helped me get jump started… so figure I’ll pass on what I just learned to you. 
What this blog will cover is
So let’s begin. What I have to host my FMC & FTDv VMs is a UCS M4 with a NIC connected to a Cat4948 in vlan 1. That NIC is tied to vSwitch0 in the UCS. Continue reading
