Why The Network Is Critical To Digital Transformation
Without a fast network and services that securely deliver apps, digital transformation will grind to a halt.

Johannes Weber published the solutions to his Wireshark challenges. How many did you solve?
All the compute power in the world is useless against code that cannot scale. And neither compute or code can be useful if growing data for simulations cannot be collected and managed.
But ultimately, none of this is useful at all if the industry that needs these HPC resources is having more trouble than ever acquiring them. It comes as no surprise that the national labs and major research centers will be the first to get exaflop-capable systems, but in a normal market (like the one oil and gas knew not long ago) these machines would be relatively quickly followed …

It’s almost time for Cisco Live in Las Vegas. It’s Friday morning here and I have 95% of the packing done and I leave on Saturday. If this is your first time going to CLUS or even going to the US it can be challenging to know what to pack and if you need to bring cash etc. Here are some of my recommendations for packing. Make a list so that you don’t forget to pack things.
Essentials
Make sure to pack your passport. This is pretty obvious. Hopefully you already made sure that the passport is up to date as well.
I bring a copy of my approved ESTA. This is not mandatory but it’s nice having it there in case a security officer asks you. Depending where you are from you might not be part of the ESTA program.
I always print a copy of my booking for the flight and hotel etc. While not something you need when you have electronic check-in etc. I still like to keep a copy so that I have all of the info about my flight and hotel in case I can’t get on my phone.
Electronic Devices
Bring a power bank. Continue reading
In this Getting Started blog post, we cover how to install Ansible Tower by Red Hat as a clustered environment. If you haven’t already, check out our previous post that outlines the steps on how to install Tower on a single node.
With the addition of Clustering with Tower 3.1, Tower users now have the ability to install Tower as a clustered install rather than just doing an all-in-one install. Clustering is sharing load between hosts. Each node should be able to act as an entry point for UI and API access. This should enable Tower administrators to use load balancers in front of as many nodes as they wish and maintain good data visibility.
Installing Tower in a cluster only has two differences from a standard all-in-one Tower install:
If you are preparing to install Tower, consider what function Tower will serve for you. If you are deploying Tower in a production environment, you should be using a clustered installation able to provide highly available Tower instances and use an external DB, either as a Continue reading
In this episode of Network Collective, the panel takes some time to acknowledge some of the lessons they have learned along the way, and share what from them they wish they had known when they were starting out. Topics range from mentorship, study, technical specialization, job selection, and more. Guest for this episode are Daniel Dib, Denise Donohue, Lindsay Hill, and Mathew Norwood.

The Docker team is headed to Las Vegas next week for Cisco Live – visit our booth #2900B to learn more about Docker Enterprise Edition and our integration with Cisco UCS, Contiv and the Cisco Validated Designs available for modern container deployments at enterprise scale. Docker and Cisco formed a partnership earlier this year to bring validated and supported solutions for the enterprise.
Whether you are containerizing legacy apps to accelerate datacenter refresh or planning your first microservices application, Docker and Cisco deliver integrated solutions that have been tested to perform at scale – up to thousands of containers.

Markets are always changing. Sometimes information technology is replaced by a new thing, and sometimes it morphs from one thing to another so gradually that is just becomes computing or networking or storage as we know it. For instance, in the broadest sense, all infrastructure will be cloudy, even if it is bare metal machines or those using containers or heavier server virtualization. In a similar way, in the future all high performance computing may largely be a kind of artificial intelligence, bearing little resemblance to the crunch-heavy simulations we are used to.
It has taken two decades for cloud …
