October 2022 saw IP Fabric’s debut at the ONUG conference in New York to spread the word about how Network Assurance is helping customers reinvent their network operations for the multi-cloud era. IP Fabric Solution Architect Justin Jeffery presented a session entitled “Network Assurance 101” which explained the approach and how IP Fabric’s platform delivers on its promise. If you missed the conference a recorded version can be found on the ONUG website. What is Network Assurance? Think of quality assurance in a production process,…
Introduction As all networking continues to consolidate around TCP/IP and Solid-State Disk (SSD) memory becomes a more pervasive form of storage, the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) standard is growing in use. Augtera Networks and Dell Technologies have partnered to create a NVMe/TCP solution with Network Performance Monitoring. Specifically, Augtera’s Network AI provides high-fidelity detection of the TCP flows impacted by congestion and identify the root of the congestion. In this blog, we describe how this is done, and the impact of AI/ML in delivering this…
The inaugural 2022 Sysdig Cloud-Native Threat Report exposes some of the year’s most pervasive and costly cloud threats. As organization’s use of containers and cloud services continues to grow, attackers are turning their attention to the cloud. Just one threat actor can make substantial gains by simply taking advantage of misconfigurations and old exploits. They can earn thousands of dollars, almost passively off of their victims’ cloud infrastructure. Containers allow developers to get infrastructure up and running fast, but if malicious code is hidden inside…
“Listen to me!” “Pay attention to what I’m saying!” These are not uncommon things to hear in a relationship, particularly ones that are in stress. My ex-wife used to say I didn’t listen to her…or something like that. There’s a lesson, yes, right there. We live in an extraordinary time where platforms abound from which we can be heard, but is anyone really listening? While preparing for ONUG Fall 2022, I had the privilege of recording promotional video snippets for many of ONUG’s supplier partners….

As leaves in the east start to color, the ONUG Community is getting ready to convene in New York City! That wonderful city of great restaurants, entertainment, diversity and culture. Over the years, I’ve realized that ONUG possesses the power to convene IT business leaders from all industry segments of the economy and from all over the world. ONUG Fall on October 19th and 20th, hosted by Raytheon Technologies, will be no different; in fact, it will be our largest gathering since ONUG Fall 2019!…
I don’t eat whales, but the truth is, many people, in many cultures, DO! Not so daunting a task perhaps if it’s a team sport, but what if it’s just YOU! Then, as the phrase goes, there’s only one way to do it….One Bite at a Time!!! Segue alert!!!!! Such is the case with Policy as Code (PaC). It’s such an important objective for today’s enterprises, but it also has (as I like to say): “More Questions than Answers”! The truth is, what PaC may…
The days of simply defining the perimeter of where applications and services are hosted in a single data center are long over. Previously, just by opening a network diagram and pointing to the data center, you could secure the inside network by deploying firewalls to protect it from the outside world. Today, with network infrastructure expanding, those perimeters are no longer simple to define. Applications are comprised of many related services that exist across on-prem data centers and one or many cloud platforms, presenting new…
Sponsored by Comcast Business Cloud is no longer a futuristic, aspirational technology for enterprise organizations. It has become the norm for both the agility it provides and its potential cost efficiencies. Private, public, hybrid, off-prem, and on-prem, the list of options for cloud migration is deep and wide. The shift to the cloud has only quickened as enterprises work to optimize their networks to support a more distributed workforce. Cloud-based applications have enabled you to work from anywhere—your corporate HQ, branch office, home office, or…
