It’s no secret that by transforming networking into a software industry, network virtualization has accelerated innovation. But what does virtualization mean for security more broadly? Can virtualization be a key weapon in the arsenal for improving IT security? If so, how?

Financial penalties seem more likely than an injunction, one analyst notes.

So is reading a book on your e-reader really cheaper than reading it in hardback? I know I do most of my reading electronically now, but that’s mostly because I fly a lot and I don’t want to carry a lot of books, and because I find it faster to take notes (and find them later) in electronic formats. But cheaper? I doubt it, really. Consider this:
The information economy is a blue-whale economy with its energy uses mostly out of sight. Based on a mid-range estimate, the world’s Information-Communications-Technologies (ICT) ecosystem uses about 1,500 TWh of electricity annually, equal to all the electric generation of Japan and Germany combined — as much electricity as was used for global illumination in 1985. The ICT ecosystem now approaches 10% of world electricity generation. Or in other energy terms – the zettabyte era already uses about 50% more energy than global aviation. Reduced to personal terms, although charging up a single tablet or smart phone requires a negligible amount of electricity, using either to watch an hour of video weekly consumes annually more electricity in the remote networks than two new refrigerators use in a year. And as the world continues to Continue reading
Here's how to avoid cable chaos in Ethernet switch environments and reduce operational costs.
With the rise of all-flash arrays and object storage, big and fast no longer go together for enterprise storage.
I spent most of last year developing SDN-related content, resulting in pretty successful 2-day workshop and 20+ hours of online content. However, I fully agree with Matt Oswalt that network automation matters even more than lofty centralized ideas, so it was time to focus on that area.
As always, the easiest way to push yourself is to commit to a deadline, so I agreed to do a network automation workshop during the Troopers 16 event. Here’s what it will cover:

But their solution is nonsense, based on a hopelessly naive understanding of how the Internet works. It appears all Continue reading
