AWS and DXC Technology have agreed to build a new multibillion-dollar DXC-AWS Integrated Practice that will help DXC clients migrate their existing IT environments to AWS.
The SD-storage and cloud data provider launched a free calculator that compares costs associated with using its automated storage tiering feature versus public cloud vendors.
In this community roundtable, Eyvonne and I talk to Eric Osterweil about the increasing reliance on analytics in the realm of security.
"SoftBank trusted us in 2016, and we’ve been working with them as partners ever since," says Frinx's CEO. "Folks say it is very important who your first customer is.”
The company's CEO attempted to moderate his previous comments about growing pricing pressure from larger rivals, stating "You should assume that I communicated very poorly last quarter."
Since ETSI set standards for NFV six years ago, the technology has yet to reach its full potential as operators get stuck on physical limitations.
Over the last several years, VMware has been heavily investing in technology and solutions to transform security. Our goal has been simple; leverage the virtual and mobile infrastructure to build security in – making it intrinsic, simple, aligned to applications and data, and infinitely more effective.
5 years ago, with NSX, we introduced the concept of micro-segmentation, enabling organizations to leverage network virtualization to compartmentalize their critical applications at a network level.
Last VMworld, we introduced VMware AppDefense, to protect the applications running on that virtual infrastructure. This enabled organizations to leverage server virtualization to ensure the only thing running is what the application intended – flipping the security model to “ensuring good” versus “chasing bad”
Meanwhile, our Workspace ONE team has been steadily building out their platform that leverages user infrastructure, to ensure only legitimate users can get access to critical applications from devices we can trust.
The momentum for NSX, AppDefense, and Workspace ONE has been growing exponentially. And our product teams have not been standing still. They’ve been hard at work on some incredible innovations and integrations.
In my security showcase session, Transforming Security in Continue reading
There are a lot of cool nuggets in Google's New Book: The Site Reliability Workbook. If you haven't put it on your reading list, here's a tantalizing excerpt from CHAPTER 11 Managing Load by Cooper Bethea, Gráinne Sheerin, Jennifer Mace, and Ruth King with Gary Luo and Gary O’Connor.
Niantic launched Pokémon GO in the summer of 2016. It was the first new Pokémon game in years, the first official Pokémon smartphone game, and Niantic’s first project in concert with a major entertainment company. The game was a runaway hit and more popular than anyone expected—that summer you’d regularly see players gathering to duel around landmarks that were Pokémon Gyms in the virtual world.
Pokémon GO’s success greatly exceeded the expectations of the Niantic engineering team. Prior to launch, they load-tested their software stack to process up to 5x their most optimistic traffic estimates. The actual launch requests per second (RPS) rate was nearly 50x that estimate—enough to present a scaling challenge for nearly any software stack. To further complicate the matter, the world of Pokémon GO is highly interactive and globally shared among its users. All players in a given area see the same view of the game Continue reading
Networking is hard enough when deploying it into typical environments like campuses and datacenters, but what happens when you’re tasked with doing networking in areas that were never meant to support technology? In this episode of Network Collective, Scott Morris and Jeremy Austin join us to share their experience with networking in harsh environments.
