Freedom from Lock-in With Docker Enterprise Edition
Major business initiatives such as digitization and cloud migration have threatened to disrupt IT organizations that are already spread thin simply supporting the core business. Containerization is viewed as a way to help with these initiatives because they speed the delivery of software and typically cut operational costs by more than 50% in the first year alone. To support a containerization strategy, many enterprises are turning to container platforms to manage and secure the delivery of their mission-critical software from development through production.
For customers, choosing the right container platform is more than a technical decision – it is a business decision. As with any decision of this nature, it is critical that the container solution has the flexibility to evolve as business requirements change. Unfortunately, all container platforms are not the same – some lack security while others force organizations into a prescriptive operating model. And even worse, most container platforms will “lock in” an organization to a single OS, single cloud, single type of application, single development – leading CIOs down a single dead-end path they will have to abandon in less than two years.
So how can organization address continue to move forward with modern technologies, Continue reading
The Pantheon Of Services In Nutanix Acropolis
While there is a battle of sorts going on between hyperconverged architectures and disaggregated ones, it is probably safe to assume that at the scale that most enterprises run, they could care less about which one they choose so long as either architecture does what they need to support applications. Enterprises will find some use for both hyperconverged platforms that merge virtual compute and virtual storage for many years to come, but we would also bet that over the long haul, compute and storage will be disaggregated and connected by fast and vast networks because, frankly, that is how Google …

History Of Networking – Geoff Houston – BGP Security
Recent history tells us that even after decades of pervasive use, BGP is far from a fully secure protocol. In this episode of History of Networking on Network Collective, Geoff Houston joins us to talk about how we got here and why previous attempts at BGP security have fallen by the wayside.

Datanauts 133: Perfecting The Job Hunt
Whether by choice or circumstance, it’s inevitable you’ll find yourself looking for a new job.
On today’s Datanauts episode we break down the job hunt process to help you understand what you want, what you have to offer, and how to make the most of your application.
Our guest is Doug Lane, a tech/ops professional who’s been working in IT for 25 years. He’s also recently gone through the process of finding and getting a new job. You can follow him on Twitter at @debuggist.
Doug shares his experiences and tips about how he approached the job search. We start by talking about honestly understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, and then thinking about what kind of job it is you really want.
We also discuss how to evaluate job descriptions, and how to nail the application process.

DNA Tests Raise Privacy Questions
The news was amazing: Police in California used DNA evidence collected decades ago to identify the suspected Golden State Killer, a serial killer and rapist active between the mid-‘70s and mid-‘80s.
Investigators from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department entered the old DNA into online genealogical database GEDmatch and were able to zero in on suspect Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. by linking the DNA sample to relatives in the database.
A suspected serial killer won’t generate much sympathy from the public, but privacy advocates say the case raises a series of difficult questions about uses of DNA.
The Golden State Killer “was absolutely evil,” said Pam Dixon, executive director of the World Privacy Forum. “We can all definitely agree that serial killers should be taken off the street.”
Still, Dixon and other privacy advocates wonder about the repercussions of the case. “There is no privacy right that I know of in regard to this kind of linking,” she said.
Among the major questions:
- What court approvals should police get before searching DNA databases?
- Should police be able to use DNA from distant relatives to track down criminals?
- And how long should DNA evidence be searchable?
These are difficult questions, but Continue reading
AI Redefines Performance Requirements At The Edge
In a broad sense, the history of computing is the constant search for the ideal system architecture. Over the last few decades system architects have continually shifted back and forth from centralized configurations where computational resources are located far from the user to distributed architectures where processing resources were located closer to the individual user.
Early systems used a highly centralized model to deliver increased computational power and storage capabilities to users spread across the enterprise. During the 1980s and 1990s, those centralized architectures gave way to the rise of low cost PCs and the emergence of LANs and then …
