SDN
SDN company Midokura this week said it will support for Cumulus Networks' Linux network operating system in its network virtualization software.
The combination will enable customers to manage workloads on virtual and non-virtualized infrastructure using Midokura's MidoNet product. MidoNet is a distributed network virtualization system that is designed to allow service providers and enterprises to build flexible and easier-to-manage virtual networks.
Software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) represent two of the more dramatic oncoming technology shifts in networking. Both will significantly alter network designs, deployments, operations, and future networking and computing systems. They also will determine supplier and operator success (or failure) over the next five to 10 years.
Servers
T&G, whose majority stakeholder is German agricultural giant BayWa, has a network of over 41,000 square metres of storage facilities, a global distribution network covering sales, marketing, and logistics, and a passionate, experienced team, who are intent on ensuring that the produce that customers receive, are as fresh as the day it was harvested.
Multiple CIOs have told me they planned to modernise all of their databases, but -- constrained by cost and time -- only managed to tackle the 20% that yielded 50% of the value. The remaining 80% remains a major drag to IT; we're kicking the can down the road.
UNIX platforms such as Solaris on SPARC and AIX on Power store data in a different format than Linux on x86 (big-endian versus little-endian).
Once upon a time, IT organizations tended to treat systems based on different OSes as completely different stacks of compute resources that pretty much ran in isolation from one another. But as pressure to become more cost efficient has mounted alongside the rise of application workloads that span multiple systems, the need for storage systems that can play well across both Linux and Windows systems has become more acute.
CloudLinux is a great technology implemented on all our shared and premium shared servers, and is available for our managed dedicated servers. It essentially protects your site from other websites on your server. It means fewer servers go down and you’ll have a faster, more consistent website experience. We spoke to the man behind the technology, founder Igor Seletskiy.
