According to a recent Jefferies report, the fourth wave of computing has started and it is being driven by the adoption of IoT with parallel processing as the solution. Tectonic shifts in computing have been caused by major forces dating back to the 1960s.
With each shift, new solution providers have emerged as prominent suppliers. The latest power often cited with the fourth wave is Nvidia and its parallel processing platform for HPC and artificial intelligence (AI), namely GPUs and the CUDA programming platform. The growth of the data center segment of Nvidia’s business – from $339 million in …
The Rise Of The Fourth Wave Of Computing was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
VNNIC, the National Internet Registry (NIR) of Vietnam, organized 2 major events in Ho Chi Minh City. VNNIC IP Member meeting on 24th August at VNNIC HCMC Office and second VNIX-NOG event on 25th August at Saigon Prince Hotel and was attended by our Deploy360 colleague Aftab Siddiqui. NetNam, a local ISP, provided Internet connectivity for the NOG event and did a great job by providing a dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 network.
The first event was for VNNIC IP members where reports were presented and NIR policies discussed, but the NOG event the following day was attended by around 70 people from various organizations including all the major telcos and ISPs in the country, the Internet Society, APNIC, Google and BBIX.
The opening speech was provided by Nguyen Hong Thang – Deputy Director of VNNIC, and a welcome note was added by Vu The Binh – General Secretary of Vietnam Internet Association (VIA) . Presentations from the event are available here, but the emphasis was on local participants to share their experience and local community engagement.
Nguyen Tran Hieu (VNIX) shared some network statistics of the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City nodes, which unfortunately showed that most members Continue reading
Take a look back at some breakthrough networking technologies.
This is a liveblog of the day 1 keynote at VMworld 2017 in Las Vegas, NV. There was a bit of a kerfluffle regarding seating (the local facilities staff didn’t want to let me sit in the bloggers’ area because “you’re not a blogger”), but I managed to snag a seat anyway.
Prior to the keynote, a number of announcements were released; here’s a quick look at a few of them:
Pat Gelsinger takes the stage at about 9:05am, after a very cool AR/VR demo. Gelsinger welcomes the crowd, and takes a minute to reflect upon his time at CEO of VMware. Gelsinger also takes a moment to talk about the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey, and urges attendees to help support the recovery of that effort.
Gelsinger talks how “science fiction” is becoming “science fact”: exoskeletons, teleportation, and genetically modified organisms via CRISPR. Continue reading
A network architect working for a system integrator sent me a number of questions along the lines of “what would be an interesting alternative to pursuing another CCxE certification?”
He wrote:
Read more ...A while ago, I wrote about basic concepts in StackStorm. Since then I’ve been knee-deep in the code, fixing bugs and creating new features, and I’ve learned a lot about how StackStorm is put together.
In this series, I’d like to spend some time exploring the StackStorm architecture. What subcomponents make up StackStorm? How do they interact? How can we scale StackStorm? These are all questions that come up from time to time in the StackStorm community, and there are a lot of little details that I even forget from time-to-time. I’ll be doing this in a series of posts, so we can explore a particular topic in detail without getting overwhelmed.
Also, it’s worth noting that this isn’t intended to be an exhaustive reference for StackStorm’s architecture. The best place for that is still the StackStorm documentation. My goal in this series is merely to give a little bit of additional insight into StackStorm’s inner workings, and hopefully get those curiosity juices flowing. There will be some code references, some systems-level insight, probably both.
Also note that this is a living document. This is an open source project under active development, and while I will try to keep specific Continue reading

Get ready! NSX is hosting a major swag giveaway at VMworld as part of a celebration for everything our customers have accomplished in 2017! At various times throughout the conference, we’ll be on the prowl, looking for folks sporting NSX gear. If you’re spotted “in the wild” adorned with anything “NSX”, you could win some awesome swag and prizes.
Join the hunt: show off your NSX pride (and your photography skills), and post photos of anything #NSX with the hashtag #NSXintheWild. Winners will be chosen at random on the VMworld floor and online, so you never know when we might have you in our sights. But make no mistake – if you’re representing NSX in the wild, you’ll be a prime target for swag.
Pay it forward: If you happen to spot some cool NSX gear in the wild, snap a photo and tweet it out using the hashtag #NSXintheWild. We hope you’ll join the fun and show off your NSX treasure. Your odds of winning some prizes will be much higher at VMworld if you do, as opposed to hitting the slots!

The social and economic benefits of the Internet cannot be realized without users’ ability to communicate and organize privately, and, where appropriate, anonymously. Data collection warrants must strike a balance to protect these benefits without impeding law enforcement’s ability to enforce the law. In recent weeks, the United States Department of Justice’s (DoJ) conflict with DreamHost, a website hosting service, has underscored the importance of this balance.
A week after the 2017 U.S. presidential inauguration, the DoJ issued a warrant to DreamHost to gather evidence for almost 200 cases related to violence that occurred during Inauguration Day protests. DreamHost had provided services to a website used to coordinate protests during the presidential inauguration.
The initial warrant was broad in scope; DreamHost stated that compliance would mean handing over records relating to 1.3 million IP addresses. This July, the DoJ went even further, issuing a new warrant asking for “Files, databases, and database records” regarding the website in question. DreamHost’s filing with the court specifies that the DoJ sought: the IP addresses of visitors to the website; which website pages were viewed by visitors; and a description of the software running on visitors’ computers.
The DoJ itself appears to Continue reading
