Out of Nillo's mind: February 2015
http://nillosmind.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Out of Nillo's mind. Just my thoughts on technology here. Mostly around networking, virtualization and cloud computing. Opinions are my own. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. ACI Example - Fast deployment of infrastructure. But the ACI policy model extends beyond using it for providing application connectivity. The APIC also provides many functions that are useful for a network/fabric administrator, in terms of topology management, switch on boarding, policy-based configurations and so on. The switch still has ...

Out of Nillo's mind. Just my thoughts on technology here. Mostly around networking, virtualization and cloud computing. Opinions are my own. Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Let's talk about a 64 Tbps Firewall. Tweets like the one below fall into exaggeration, in my humble opinion:. Go for it. All east west traffic secured by a firewall for 96K VMs. Or is that asking too much? 8212; Brad Hedlund (@bradhedlund) December 24, 2014. 8212; Brad Hedlund (@bradhedlund) December 24, 2014.

Out of Nillo's mind: SDN wont solve network problems if you just try to dimiss them
http://nillosmind.blogspot.com/2011/09/sdn-wont-solve-network-problems-if-you.html
Out of Nillo's mind. Just my thoughts on technology here. Mostly around networking, virtualization and cloud computing. Opinions are my own. Wednesday, September 7, 2011. SDN wont solve network problems if you just try to dimiss them. I am very excited overall about SDN, and recently about VXLAN, a protocol that is well suited for delivering L2 broadcast domains to support IaaS and sort of follows the SDN paradigm (a software controller instantiating the L2 domains as needed). Bottom line, running networ...

Out of Nillo's mind: Whitebox switches are Black
http://nillosmind.blogspot.com/2015/04/whitebox-switches-are-black.html
Out of Nillo's mind. Just my thoughts on technology here. Mostly around networking, virtualization and cloud computing. Opinions are my own. Thursday, April 23, 2015. Whitebox switches are Black. I am a pragmatic person at heart, and perhaps because of that I have a hard time seeing the value of debating so much about terminology. We've seen so much about that when talking about Software Defined Networking (SDN). What SDN is and is not, etc. A black whitebox switch. In the end the objective seems to be t...

Out of Nillo's mind: March 2012

Out of Nillo's mind. Just my thoughts on technology here. Mostly around networking, virtualization and cloud computing. Opinions are my own. Friday, March 9, 2012. Very recently I have read an article. On Network World about some investment firm warning on issues with Juniper's problems and/or delays on shipping certain recent products and technologies. Amongst them QFabric was cited. And I think it is a failure for various reasons:. 1 Architecturally. It is very, very complicated to scale a distribu...

Out of Nillo's mind. Just my thoughts on technology here. Mostly around networking, virtualization and cloud computing. Opinions are my own. Wednesday, June 3, 2015. ACI Example - Simplified Infrastructure Upgrades. But with all these conversations some of the basics about ACI get lost. And the basics alone are very important. In the little blogging that I get to do, I have already written about how on-boarding new devices into a fabric becomes a very simple task when you use ACI ( see here. In this blog...

Out of Nillo's mind. Just my thoughts on technology here. Mostly around networking, virtualization and cloud computing. Opinions are my own. Friday, January 31, 2014. On networking and political systems. A couple of weeks ago I read the blog post on " Democratising Capacity (or how to interpret Cisco math). CEO of Cumulus Networks (and also an ex-Cisco employee). I recommend reading it. Cumulus Linux adds a change to that. I think ONIE is interesting, and bare-metal switches supporting it, together w...

Out of Nillo's mind: Paris OpenStack Summit Recap

Out of Nillo's mind. Just my thoughts on technology here. Mostly around networking, virtualization and cloud computing. Opinions are my own. Thursday, November 6, 2014. Paris OpenStack Summit Recap. Considering this event is happening every six months and considering it is an open source focused conference, the volume and level of attendance is impressive. I believe there's been more than 4,600 attendees from 60 different countries. So what about OpenStack? At this Summit, we have seen about some large s...
