VMware NSX 6.3 for vSphere has achieved Common Criteria certification at the Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2+ (view the certification report)(view the press release). This marks yet another milestone of our commitment to providing industry leading certified solutions for customers from federal departments and agencies, international governments and agencies, and other highly regulated industries and sectors. Along with FIPS, DISA-STIG, ICSA Labs firewall certification, and several other independent evaluations, the Common Criteria compliance accreditation validates NSX as a reliable network virtualization platform that satisfies stringent government security standards.
Common Criteria is an international set of guidelines (ISO-15408) that provides a methodology framework for evaluating security features and capabilities of Information Technology (IT) security products. It is mutually recognized by 26 member nations.
Regulatory compliance is one of the challenges faced by government IT departments in their efforts to modernize legacy systems, and Common Criteria is often required for procurement sales. The Common Criteria accreditation affirms that NSX for vSphere complies with the security requirements specified within the designated level and simplifies the introduction of NSX into government and highly regulated environments. NSX enables customers in the public sector to implement network Continue reading

The inevitable summer decline of visitors has started, so I'm switching (like every summer) to a lower publishing frequency. Given my current focus (here and here) expect one network automation post and one other in-depth post every week… and maybe an occasional this-is-worth-reading link.
Take some time off, enjoy the vacations, and I hope to meet you in the September online course ;)

What goes around comes around. After fighting so hard to drive volume economics in the HPC arena with relatively inexpensive X86 clusters in the past twenty years, those economies of scale are running out of gas. That is why we are seeing an explosion in the diversity of compute, not just on the processor, but in adjunct computing elements that make a processor look smarter than it really is.
The desire of system architects to try everything because it is fun has to be counterbalanced by a desire to make systems that can be manufactured at a price that is …
Cray CTO On The Cambrian Compute Explosion was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
It is a time of interesting architectural shifts in the world of supercomputing but one would be hard-pressed to prove that using the mid-year list of the top 500 HPC systems in the world. We are still very much in an X86 dominated world with the relatively stable number of accelerated systems to spice the numbers, but there are big changes afoot—as we described in depth when the rankings were released this morning.
This year, the list began to lose one of its designees in the list of “accelerator/offload” architectures as the Xeon Phi moves from offload model to host …
Knights Landing Can Stand Alone—But Often Won’t was written by Nicole Hemsoth at The Next Platform.
There is a lot of change coming down the pike in the high performance computing arena, but it has not happened as yet and that is reflected in the current Top 500 rankings of supercomputers in the world. But the June 2017 list gives us a glimpse into the future, which we think will be as diverse and contentious from an architectural standpoint as in the past.
No one architecture is winning and taking all, and many different architectures are getting a piece of the budget action. This means HPC is a healthy and vibrant ecosystem and not, like enterprise …

In this post, I will share many network engineering blogs which will be very beneficial for the network engineering and for those who want to learn more about network design. Almost everyday I receive a message through social media or via email from the connections. What should we study ? I am new […]

MPLS Traffic Engineering is a mechanism that provides cost savings in an MPLS networks. How cost saving can be achieved ? How traffic is steered to the paths which wouldn’t be used in normal circumstances ? I will explain in this post. Let’s look at below topology. MPLS Traffic Engineering […]

The exascale effort in the U.S. got a fresh injection with R&D funding set to course through six HPC vendors to develop scalable, reliable, and efficient architectures and components for new systems in the post-2020 timeframe.
However, this investment, coming rather late in the game for machines that need hit sustained exaflop performance in a 20-30 megawatt envelope in less than five years, raises a few questions about potential shifts in what the Department of Energy (DoE) is looking for in next-generation architectures. From changes in the exascale timeline and new focal points on “novel architectures” to solve exascale challenges, …
