VMware enlists Intel, IBM watsonx for private AI initiative

VMware has two new corporate partners, in the form of Intel and IBM, for its private AI initiative. The partnerships will provide new architectures for users looking to keep their generative AI training data in-house, as well as new capabilities and features.Private AI, as VMware describes it, is essentially a generative AI framework designed to let customers use the data in their own enterprise environments — whether public cloud, private cloud or on-premises — for large language model (LLM) training purposes, without having to hand off data to third parties. VMware broke ground on the project publicly in August, when it rolled out VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA. That platform combines the VMware Cloud Foundation multicloud architecture with Nvidia AI Enterprise software, offering systems built by Dell, HPE and Lenovo to provide on-premises AI capabilities.To read this article in full, please click here

SPCOR Exam Experience by Nick Russo

On 31 October 2023, I took and passed the Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) exam on my first attempt. Most of you know that I am recognized as an expert on Cisco Service Provider technologies given that I was one of the first to pass the new CCIE SPv4 exam in early 2016. Three months later, I released book of nearly 3,000 pages detailing all the technologies involved in that blueprint, going extremely deep into every topic. I later partnered with two other Service Provider experts to sell an ultimate study bundle that combined my textbook with their lab workbook. I think it’s fair to say that I should have crushed this exam, and although I did pass, it was far more difficult than I anticipated.

A few years ago, I also took the SCOR exam, but didn’t write a blog about it because I felt the exam was unremarkable. My friend Craig Stansbury has an excellent SCOR learning path at Pluralsight that I used to pass the exam on the first try, but on balance, it felt like a regular CCNP exam. SPCOR was a whole new class of difficulty. When I Continue reading

D2C219: Building A Multi-Cloud Network With A Cloud-Native Approach (Sponsored)

What if you could have a multi-cloud network that was cloud-native, but you didn’t have to know the nitty-gritty details for each of the clouds? That is, you work with a single cloud network interface, and that platform handles the networking so you can focus on things like improving the velocity of application rollouts, architecture, security, and efficiency? Sponsor Prosimo says its platform can do this. On today's show we look under hood to get details on its multi-cloud networking platform.

Open BGP Daemons: There’s So Many of Them

A while ago, the Networking Notes blog published a link to my “Will Network Devices Reject BGP Sessions from Unknown Sources?” blog post with a hint: use Shodan to find how many BGP routers accept a TCP session from anyone on the Internet.

The results are appalling: you can open a TCP session on port 179 with over 3 million IP addresses.
