Did you miss Cumulus Networks’ session at Networking Field Day 2017 on February 26th? Or maybe you tuned in, and you want to reminisce on the best moments? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Check out our top five favorite highlights from Technical Marketing Engineer Pete Lumbis’ presentation about managing EVPN/VXLAN. (You can also watch the whole session here, if you’d prefer to hear it from the man himself. Prepare for an intelligent demonstration peppered with some good laughs!)
It makes sense to start with the basics, and that’s exactly how we begin the presentation. In a daring move, Pete decides to illustrate Cumulus Linux’s capabilities sans-Powerpoint, and whiteboards the architecture of a Mellanox switch running our OS.
One of the great things about Cumulus technology is that it’s all based in Linux. So, any configurations you would make on a Linux device are exactly the same on Cumulus Linux. Simple, right? That’s exactly our goal — allowing customers to easily customize their network as they see fit with basic building blocks. As Pete describes it, building the network is like “taking those Lego pieces and turning them into Saturn V.” Continue reading
If you thought the up-front costs and risks were high for a silicon startup, consider the economics of building a full-stack quantum computing company from the ground-up—and at a time when the applications are described in terms of their potential and the algorithms still in primitive stages.
Quantum computing company, D-Wave managed to bootstrap its annealing-based approach and secure early big name customers with a total of $200 million over the years but as we have seen with a range of use cases, they have been able to put at least some funds back in investor pockets with system sales …
What It Takes to Build a Quantum Computing Startup was written by Nicole Hemsoth at The Next Platform.
Symantec, Skyhigh Networks (recently acquired by McAfee), and Netskope are leading vendors.
The company hopes to attract partners and customers on its way into the CNCF.
In December, the oVirt Project shipped version 4.2 of its open source virtualization management system. With a new release comes an update to this howto for running oVirt together with Gluster storage using a trio of servers to provide for the system's virtualization and storage needs, in a configuration that allows you to take one of the three hosts down at a time without disrupting your running VMs.
If you're looking instead for a simpler, single-machine option for trying out oVirt, your best bet is the oVirt Live ISO page. This is a LiveCD image that you can burn onto a blank CD or copy onto a USB stick to boot from and run oVirt. This is probably the fastest way to get up and running, but once you're up, this is definitely a low-performance option, and not suitable for extended use or expansion.
Read on to learn about my favorite way of running oVirt.
Hardware: You’ll need three machines with 16GB or more of RAM and processors with hardware virtualization extensions. Physical machines are best, but you can test oVirt using nested KVM as well. I've written this howto using VMs running on my "real" Continue reading

How did I use over a gigabyte of mobile data in a single day? Why is my phone as warm as a hot plate? If you have ever asked yourself either of these questions, you might be the victim of a malicious application that is using your device and consuming your mobile bandwidth to facilitate ad fraud. We have recently identified a large population of apps being distributed from the Google Play Store that support this behavior. These apps are installed on devices on a majority of the major cell phone carriers around the world. These carriers operate in the US (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile), Europe (KPN, Vodafone, Ziggo, Sky, Virgin, Talk Talk, BT, O2, and T-Mobile), and the Asia Pacific region (Optus, Telstra, iinet, and others) [Note: Mobile providers and Google have been notified]. Just this morning, before this article was published, Buzzfeed broke another ad fraud story.
The Mechanics of the Grift
Online advertising consists of a complex ecosystem of ad buyers, sellers, exchanges, and data providers. Operators of websites and application authors have available space in their content layout and interaction in the user experience that can be integrated to include various forms of Continue reading
Security is always changing and failure always exists. This toxic scenario requires a fresh perspective on how we think about operational security. We must understand that we are often the primary cause of our own security flaws. The industry typically looks at cybersecurity and failure in isolation or as separate matters. We believe that our lack of insight and operational Continue reading

I will be teaching my first live training course at Safari Books Online on the 9th of March, starting at noon ET: How the Internet Really Works. It’s hard to describe the level and background for this training, as it will be all over the place; this is a bit of an experiment in this realm. The course description is—
This live training will provide an overview of the systems, providers, and standards bodies important to the operation of the global Internet, including the Domain Name System (DNS), the routing and transport systems, standards bodies, and registrars. For DNS, the process of a query will be considered in some detail, who pays for each server used in the resolution process, and tools engineers can use to interact DNS. For routing and transport, the role of each kind of provider will be considered, along with how they make money to cover their costs, and how engineers can interact with the global routing table (the Default Free Zone, of DFZ). Finally, registrars and standards bodies will be considered, including their organizational structure, how they generate revenue, and how to find their standards.
Sprint is increasing its capex by $1 billion for the quarter to pay for its network upgrades.
