For container-based applications that need to scale, the capability to analyze the traffic between services is key to optimizing and managing the system. While the service mesh facilitates communication between microservices, the observability of component traffic and health requires more tooling.  This is where Service Mesh Manager—an add-on to Cisco Intersight—steps in. In Episode 54 of DevNet Snack Minute, we talked with Michael Chenetz, the Head of Content, Community, and Events at Cisco DevNet, about…

At its GPU technology conference (GTC) last year, Nvidia announced it would come out with its own server chip called Grace based on the Arm Neoverse v9 server architecture. At the time, details were scant, but this week Nvidia revealed the details, and they are remarkable. With Grace, customers have two options, both dubbed superchips by Nvidia. The first is the Grace Hopper Superchip that was formally introduced last year, but only broadly described. It…

Deploying and running data center infrastructure management – compute, networking, and storage – has traditionally been manual, slow, and arduous. Data center staffers are accustomed to doing a lot of command line configuration and spending hours in front of data center terminals. Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) is the way out: It solves the problem of running storage, networking, and compute in a straightforward way by combining the provisioning and management of these resources into one package,…

Please welcome guest blogger, Tushar Patel, Principal Engineer, Oracle Solutions  Proven 37 Million IOPS, now augmented with 100G Networking and Integrated GPU – Oh My! We live in a world of change.  Many of us are old enough to remember a time before cable television, the internet, and cell phones were commonplace.  Movies made in the 1980’s provides a view of the past.  Yet technology continued to advance fed be a desire to bring, for…

Nvidia is known for its GPUs, but has introduced Spectrum-4, a combination of networking technologies that reinforces its commitment not only to graphics processors, but also to systems designed to handle the demanding network workloads of AI and high-performance computing. The latest Nvidia Spectrum products rely on the new Spectrum-4 Ethernet-switch ASIC that boasts 51.2 Tb/s switching and routing capacity. The chip underpins the latest members of the company’s Spectrum switches, which are available later…

In technology, the new shiny thing is almost always more exciting than whatever you’re currently doing. In fact, in programming, there’s even an acronym for “not invented here syndrome” (NIHS), which is the tendency to assume that if you didn’t develop it, the solution can’t be any good. Close cousins are “let’s reinvent the wheel” syndrome, which involves redoing something that works fine, and shiny object syndrome, which is doing something just because it seems…
