Introducing data center fabric, the next-generation data center network to attend more data exchange for distribution of data request from enumerous media users

Image
Introducing the fabric For our next-generation data center network design we challenged ourselves to make the entire data center building one high-performance network, instead of a hierarchically oversubscribed system of clusters. We also wanted a clear and easy path for rapid network deployment and performance scalability without ripping out or customizing massive previous infrastructures every time we need to build more capacity. To achieve this, we took a disaggregated approach: Instead of the large devices and clusters, we broke the network up into small identical units – server pods – and created uniform high-performance connectivity between all pods in the data center. There is nothing particularly special about a pod – it’s just like a layer3 micro-cluster. The pod is not defined by any hard physical properties; it is simply a standard “unit of network” on our new fabric. Each pod is served by a set of four devices that we call fabric switches, maintaining the advantages of our ...

'Virtual’ Data Center Power Startup VPS Eyes Crypto Mining Market

Image
  Introduction Virtual Power Systems (VPS), a pioneering startup specializing in dynamic power distribution for data centers, is now setting its sights on cryptocurrency mining facilities—a sector known for its intensive energy demands and high infrastructure utilization rates. Recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities of this nascent field, VPS aims to apply its innovative technology to bridge efficiency gaps and optimize power usage for enhanced productivity in crypto mining. Traditional vs. Crypto Mining Data Centers Cryptocurrency mining operations push their infrastructure to the limits of capacity, unlike more traditional data centers that prioritize stability and uptime with significant power overheads. Crypto miners exploit nearly every ounce of available capacity to maximize returns, yet often encounter the physical constraints of power supply and distribution. VPS’s Unique Offering VPS introduces a sophisticated solution that not only caters to the traditional n...

What is AI networking? Use cases, benefits and challenges

Image
  Introduction "AI networking offers great potential to disrupt long-standing traditional networking operations to create a massive productivity increase." — Gartner, Innovation Insight: AI Networking Has the Potential to Revolutionize Network Operations. Artificial Intelligence (AI) networking, a significant evolution from AIOps (AI for IT operations), focuses on the ongoing management, maintenance, and optimization of network post-implementation or "day 2". It marries artificial intelligence with networking infrastructure to automate and enhance IT operations efficiently. The Evolution from AIOps to AI Networking Where AIOps encompasses a broader spectrum involving the entire Information and Operations (I&O) infrastructure, AI networking zeroes in on the networking sector. This includes data center switching, both wired and wireless systems, Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN), and multicloud enviro...

Red Hat Strengthens AI and Hybrid Cloud Push with Latest Software

Image
  At Red Hat Summit At the recent Red Hat Summit, a spotlight was cast on the edge-focused updates to Red Hat's OpenShift AI software, showcasing a pivotal advancement in ‘policy-as-code’ technology. This move is designed to implement structured AI guardrails, enhancing both safety and efficiency. The event was a showcase of technological evolution, with Red Hat introducing enhancements across its software family. These improvements are engineered to streamline the processes of building, deploying, and managing AI applications within a hybrid cloud environment, and for the first time, include integrated generative AI capabilities. Red Hat’s AI Vision During the summit, a significant volume of announcements—28 to be precise—were made, with more than half highlighting AI. According to Steven Huels, vice president and general manager of Red Hat’s AI business unit, the rapid acceleration in AI innovation not only opens new doors for enterprises but also invites a range of challenges. A...

5 Hard Truths About the State of Cloud Security 2024

Image
  While cloud security has certainly come a long way since the early days cloud adoption, there remains a significant journey before most organizations today have truly matured their cloud security practices. This lag in maturity is costing organizations tremendously in terms of security incidents. You Don't Become More Secure Just by Going to the Cloud The common misconception that migrating to the cloud is inherently secure can lead to complacency. Migrating services and data to a cloud environment does not absolve an organization of its security responsibilities. Security in the cloud must be a proactive and continuous process involving configuring security settings tailored to the specific needs of the setup. Misconfigured cloud services are a prime culprit in many data breaches, indicating a persistent oversight. Example : A large retail company moved its customer service databases to the cloud but overlooked securing the API endpoints. This oversight led to unauthorized acces...
