In this blog, we’ll dive a little bit deeper into the challenges associated with designing segmentation policies and how TrustSec Analytics reports and the visibility they provide can help make this easier. I’d like…

For midstream oil and gas operators, data flow can be as important as product flow. The operator’s job is to safely move oil and natural gas from its extraction point (upstream), to where it’s converted to fuels (midstream), to customer delivery locations (downstream).

History has been very clear that for broad industry adoption of the 800G generation, an optical pluggable form factor must be judged on:(1) Backwards compatibility with previous generation optics(2) 100G+ electrical performance(3) Excellent thermal power dissipation The recent QSFP-DD MSA updates ensure all of these, but I’d like to focus on the thermal performance here. Starting with 400G modules and continuing with 800G pluggable modules, the challenge of thermals and keeping optical pluggable modules cool…
