Not enough fiber to grow the internet for 5G, says consultant

Treatment will be brought to the patients and patient data will be centralized, “turning hospitals into data centers,” a telco equipment maker says in a recent report.Ericsson, in its 2017 Mobility report (PDF), published this month, says patient treatment will, in the future, no longer be performed in hospitals located far from patients’ homes, but performed remotely through new 5G wireless radio.+ Also on Network World: Reliability, not principally speed, will drive 5G + Wearables will be among the tools used for keeping an eye on folks’ health and dishing out medication. Diagnosis will be accomplished through online consultations, and robots will remotely execute surgeries at nearby healthcare clinics rather than far-off hospitals.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Another Cyber-attack : Petya Cyberattack after Wannacry Shutdowns Europe

Another Cyber-attack shocked Europe as many of the Firms like Airport industries, Banks, Government departments effected by this Petya Cyberattack. It was said that it is the beginning of the attacks and will have many more attacks in near future. Cyber security is one of the most demanding feature now a days who can save you from these cyber attacks.

Fig 1.1- Petya Cyberattack After Wannacry

Experts says, Petya Ransomware attack is just a test and will come up with more worse in the future. So you need to take care about the attacks by applying best security features like Cisco OpenDNS as a first line of security of the big and the other enterprise networks.

Many of the vendors come up with their inputs on the cyberattack where most of the industries across Ukraine, Russia and some part of Europe effected. Most of the firms from Danish and Spanish are effected as well. It may grow towards the Asia and the American region but still no footprints of these attacks.

It is said that ( the effected industries review)- The virus is believed to be ransomware - a piece of malicious software that shuts down a computer system and Continue reading

How Do I Start Automating Network Device Configurations in an Existing Network?

I get a “how do I get started with network automation” question every other week, and when I wrote a lengthy reply to one about configuration templating of existing snowflake network on networktocode Slack channel I decided it’s time to turn my replies into a blog post.

Why EVPN on Cumulus Linux makes our CTO yell “Booyah!”

I started coveting IP encapsulated network virtualization back in 2005 when I was working to build a huge IP fabric. However, we needed to have layer 2 (L2) adjacencies to some servers for classic DSR load balancing. The ideal solution was to have something that looked like a bridge as far as the load balancers and servers were concerned, yet would tunnel unmodified L2 frames through the IP fabric. Alas, we were way ahead of our time.

Thank the IT gods that things have changed quite a bit in the last 12 years. Today, we as an IT community have VXLAN, which is embodied in most modern networking silicon and (a bit more importantly) realized as part of the Linux networking model so that it’s really straightforward to deploy and scale. IT geeks have a bunch of ways to build L2 domains that are extended across IP fabrics using VXLAN. There are dedicated SDN controllers, such as Contrail, Nuage, Midonet and VMware NSX; there are orchestration-hosted controllers in OpenStack Neutron and Docker Swarm; and there are simple tools like the lightweight network virtualization that we built at Cumulus Networks.

This all leads me to EVPN. We recently made EVPN available Continue reading

A Deep Learning Performance Lens for Low Precision Inference

Few companies have provided better insight into how they think about new hardware for large-scale deep learning than Chinese search giant, Baidu.

As we have detailed in the past, the company’s Silicon Valley Research Lab (SVAIL) in particular has been at the cutting edge of model development and hardware experimentation, some of which is evidenced in their publicly available (and open source) DeepBench deep learning benchmarking effort, which allowed users to test different kernels across various hardware devices for training.

Today, Baidu SVAIL extended DeepBench to include support for inference as well as expanded training kernels. Also of …

Ireland the best place to set up a data center in the EU

A report from a data center consulting group BroadGroup says Ireland is the best place, at least in Europe, to set up a data center. It cites connectivity, taxes and active government support among the reasons.BroadGroup’s report argued Ireland’s status in the EU, as well as its “low corporate tax environment,” make it an attractive location. It also cites connectivity, as Ireland will get a direct submarine cable system from Ireland to France—bypassing the U.K.—in 2019. The country also has a high installed base of fibre and dark fibre with further deployment planned.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Five Questions: Windows Automation

For #AskAnsible posts, we interview Ansible experts on IT automation topics and ask them to share their direct experiences building automation solutions.

In this post, I’ve asked Matt Davis five questions about Ansible for Windows automation.

Matt Davis is a Senior Principal Software Engineer for Ansible, focused on Ansible's Windows support. He has over 20 years experience in software engineering, architecture and operations at companies large and small. An avid musician, maker and home hacker, Matt lives with his wife and daughter in Beaverton, Oregon. You can follow him on Twitter at @mattdavispdx.

1. How is Ansible for Windows different than System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Powershell Desired State Configuration (DSC)?

Matt: SCCM is generally considered a legacy workstation-flavored management technology, dating from the mid 1990s (though many places use it for server management, too). It requires agents on the managed hosts, which must be installed, configured and kept up-to-date. SCCM executes many operations locally and asynchronously from the server, so it's often difficult to orchestrate interdependent changes across hosts, and to reason about the overall system state at any point in time as part of larger deployments.

DSC is a much more modern management technology, supporting both an Continue reading

Worth Reading: Behind the 200g hype

In the run up to NGON 2017 in Nice, the hype machines from optical vendors have been spinning up in anticipation of one of the most reported shows in our industry. In particular, there have been several announcements around 200G recently – many touting “first” or “lowest power” or “best performance”. It is important that reporters, analysts, and customers understand what’s going on behind the hype. —ECI

Choosing Windows for your organization should get you fired

In the wake of yet another ransomware attack—this time named NotPetya—I have a special message specifically for those of you working in organizations that continue to run Microsoft Windows as the operating system on either your servers or your desktops: You are doing a terrible job and should probably be fired.  I know. That’s harsh. But it’s true. If you haven’t yet replaced Windows, across the board, you absolutely stink at your job. For years, we’ve had one trojan, worm and virus after another. And almost every single one is specifically targeting Microsoft Windows. Not MacOS. Not Linux. Not DOS. Not Unix. Windows. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
