EMCWorld and Interop Las Vegas 2103 Going Soft(ware)

During the week of May 5th, EMC held its fast-growing user conference in Las Vegas, while just down the strip the Interop 2013 event was also underway.  Lacking an ability to clone myself, I did my best to attend both, in the process actively supporting the local contingent of taxi drivers and putting in more than a few miles of walking (not sure my shoes will ever be the same).  In short, both events were heavily focused on programmability of network and storage – two of the three “legs” of the IT infrastructure stool, the last being servers.  The big ...

Network Management Goes BIG at CAWorld 2013

Network Management Goes BIG at CAWorld 2013

This year’s theme for CAWorld 2013 was “Go Big: IT with Impact.”  So I thought what the heck – let’s go big.  I stepped back and took a much broader look across the CA Technologies portfolio than I normally would.  Usually, I focus on the network management solutions, which live primarily within CA’s Service Assurance group, and almost all under the heading of Infrastructure Management.  That’s where Spectrum lives, along with Performance Center, which is a latest-generation update to eHealth and ReporterAnalyzer.    Nimsoft was recently added to this list as well. But as I was to find out, that is ...

APIs_300x190

Long ago and far away I used to cover programming languages called 4GLs, which have long since been relegated to the technology graveyard. Nice idea, but took way too long to deploy. Since then I have moved over to cover networking, but I often miss the world of programming. I was lucky enough to be...

OpenStack’s huge momentum is undeniable. IBM, RedHat, NetApp, Rackspace, HP, Dell, Cisco, Intel and even VMware have committed significant funds and human resources to this project. But why would companies, that are otherwise competing rather fiercely, sit on one table to build an OpenSource cloud platform? The answer is certainly not “altruism”, as this is...

In recent months both Cisco and Juniper have been talking about Puppet. In February, Juniper announced an early adopter release of Puppet for Junos OS. At the Network Field Day event, Cisco demonstrated onePK + Puppet. When I hear Puppet, I think sys admin not network operator. Why then the growing buzz around Puppet and...

In my last post, I talked about the frustration that enterprises have with the lack of integration among security tactics – an egregious gap attributable in no small way to the extremely fragmented nature of the IT security industry itself. I offered a few examples of approaches that seek to close these gaps and equip...

Almost one year into the discussion about the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), it is time to take inventory of the state of the discipline. As a reminder, the ultimate goal of the SDDC is to abstract and centralize the management of compute, network, storage, operating systems, middleware and applications in order to dynamically place...

Rooster

SDN does not spell doom and gloom for traditional networking vendors – that is just a lot of hype drummed up by some who have a different story to tell and who tend to come from datacenter centric mindsets.  Too often when something new and game changing comes along, folks are all too willing to...

Data_Management

As I review my series of #100linesOnBIDW blogs over the last couple of weeks, I found myself looking at the Data Management posting. I covered when to apply schemas, Big Data, and data governance. What I left out was technical implementation concepts for data management systems like row vs. column orientation; in-memory vs. spinning disk...
