Cisco is urging customers to replace flawed memory sticks in some of its Unified Computing System (UCS) servers before they fail. The problem is caused by a manufacturing error in 24 dual in-line memory modules (DIMM) that exhibit persistent correctable memory errors that if left in place could knock the servers offline. The problem is found in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB memory DIMMs. Cisco describes the flaws as manufacturing deviations that affect memory modules used to…

This blog post is a collaboration between Vishwanath Jakka, Engineering Product Manager, Cisco Cloud & Compute & Co-authored by Francoise Rees, Product Marketing Manager, Cisco Cloud & Compute. Cisco Workload Optimization Manager (CWOM) recently introduced support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP), providing visibility, insights, and actions for the top three public cloud providers.

Enterprise networking has never been so prominent for Juniper Networks as it is right now. For the first time in Juniper’s history, its enterprise networking business was the largest of its three core divisions – cloud, service provider and enterprise – in the first quarter of 2022. Enterprise networking revenue grew 18% year-over-year in Q1 to $433 million, while Q1 cloud and service provider revenue came in at $307 million and $428 million, respectively. A…

The Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) recently transitioned to the CCDE v3 certification blueprint. CCDE v2, its former version, had been around for… a while. A long while (especially when compared to the typical tech lifecycle), but that doesn’t mean it had stagnated. Part of the reason for that is that the focus of CCDE has long been on training network design professionals to think critically about network design and business practices, rather than focusing…

The resounding message is clear: port and terminal operators, who are undertaking much-needed digital modernization efforts, must simultaneously implement improved cybersecurity capabilities that are designed and “built-in” to the industrial network infrastructure from the start.  By connecting more equipment, devices, people, applications and embracing greater digitization, global port operators are realizing improved results – including faster vessel loading and unloading, safer working conditions, and greater operational efficiencies.  With access to critical infrastructure improvement funding, port…

We have come a long way from making our first sourdough starter batch to exploring new hobbies — or in my case exhausting the Netflix library! We have craved human connection and insightful conversations. It was just over two years ago that we were together at the RSA Conference in San Francisco promising the next leap in cybersecurity with Cisco’s introduction of SecureX. And soon, the cybersecurity world finally comes together again at two mega-events this…

As companies migrate to the cloud, many realize they have gaps in the end-to-end expertise required to deliver the outcomes they need from their cloud-based deployments. First, there’s the expertise needed to evaluate existing on-premises applications to decide not only which to migrate to the cloud, but also how to rearchitect them to optimally run in pure public cloud or hybrid cloud environments. Next, there’s technical execution of the cloud migration itself, including development resources…

AMD is looking to quickly integrate Xilinx technology into its CPU business, but perhaps more significantly it’s developing software to enable a broad portfolio of applications for its hardware. On a recent earnings call, AMD CEO Lisa Su said the company sees opportunities to deliver stronger products as a result of technology it gained when it merged with Xilinx in February. “As one example, we are integrating Xilinx’s differentiated AI engine across our CPU product…
