Casing The HPC Market Is Hard, And Getting Harder
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 …

Subscription Defined Networking
Cisco’s big announcement this week ahead of Cisco Live was their new Intent-based Networking push. This new portfolio does include new switching platforms in the guise of the Catalyst 9000 series, but the majority of the innovation is coming in the software layer. Articles released so far tout the ability of the network to sense context, provide additional security based on advanced heuristics, and more. But the one thing that seems to be getting little publicity is the way you’re going to be paying for software going forward.
The Bottom Line
Cisco licensing has always been an all-or-nothing affair for the most part. You buy a switch and you have two options – basic L2 switching or everything the switch supports. Routers are similar. Through the early 15.x releases, Cisco routers could be loaded with an advanced image that ran every service imaginable. Those early 15.x releases gave us some attempts at role-based licensing for packet, voice, and security device routers. However, those efforts were rolled back due to customer response.
Shockingly, voice licensing has been the most progressive part of Cisco’s licensing model for a while now. CallManager 4.x didn’t even bother. Hook things up and Continue reading

Juniper Routers Sample BGP Configurations : Quick and Easy
As in my earlier post i wrote about the basic configurations on Cisco Router where i define configurations on Route Reflector, Confederation, Route-Maps, Prefix Lists, Local Preference, AS-Path, MED, Communities and Peer groups.
In this article I am just going to put Juniper router basics BGP configurations. In the later articles I will cover all the configurations like Route Reflector, Confederation, Route-Maps, Prefix Lists, Local Preference, AS-Path, MED, Communities and Peer groups on juniper and Huawei routers.
Below is the basic network topology with configuration as below
Here in the above shown topology, we have Router A, Router B, Router C, Router D and Router E. Router A, B and C are in the AS 22 while Router D is in AS 79 and Router E is in AS 17

The Biggest Shift in Supercomputing Since GPU Acceleration
For years, the pace of change in large-scale supercomputing neatly tracked with the curve of Moore’s Law. As that swell flattens, and as the competitive pressure ticks up to build productive exascale supercomputers in the next few years, HPC has been scrambling to find the silver bullet architecture to reach sustained exascale performance. And as it turns out, there isn’t one.
But there is something else—something few saw coming three years ago, has less to do with hardware than it does a shift in how we approach massive-scale simulations, and is happening so fast that too-far-ahead-of-time procurements are …

Security Here I Come!
The announcement has been made! It is completely official! I can finally share the awesome great news I am so excited about. Security will be my absolute #1 focus now.
Security has always fascinated me. My entire career. ….. It’s just that the fundamentals of routing and design intrigued me even more. 
But now? Yeah baby! Now I get to flip a switch… dive into and completely surround myself with all things Security. And I just could not be any more tickled pink and excited. I feel like all my years of networking have been a build up towards this.
Am I leaving my CPOC lab and job I adore so much? Nah… I’d go through withdrawal. LOL. Nah… wouldn’t be pretty. It is just my role that will be changing.
Woot woot! Security here I come! ROCK!
