Considerations for Load Balancers When Migrating Applications to the Cloud

July 31, 2018 — by Prakash Sinha — 7

According to a new forecast from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Cloud IT Infrastructure Tracker, total spending on IT infrastructure for deployment in cloud environments is expected to total $46.5 billion in 2017 with year-over-year growth of 20.9%. Public cloud data centers will account for the majority of this spending, 65.3%, growing at the fastest annual rate of 26.2%. Off-premises private cloud environments will represent 13% of cloud IT infrastructure spending, growing at 12.7% year over year. On-premises private clouds will account for 62.6% of spending on private cloud IT infrastructure and will grow 11.5% year-over-year in 2017.

Should Business Risk Mitigation Be A Factor When We Choose Our Suppliers And Manufacturers?

This is something that I have struggled with for most of my working life. As a technology professional, it is my job to pick the best products and solutions or to dig deeper to marry that technological decision with one that’s best for my organization. Is it incumbent on me to consider my suppliers’ financials, or their country or origin, or perhaps their business practices?

This thought was thrust sharply into focus during the past few months. First, we were reminded that a sound business still needs to have sound financials. The second warning is around the ramifications of a trade war.

Single Sign On (SSO) Use Cases

May 24, 2018 — by Prakash Sinha — 1

SSO reduces password fatigue for users having to remember a password for each application. With SSO, a user logs into one application and then is able to sign into other applications automatically, regardless of the domain the user is in in or the technology in use. SSO makes use of a federation services or login page that orchestrates the user credentials between multiple applications.

Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) Use Cases

May 3, 2018 — by Prakash Sinha — 0

Whenever applications are deployed to multiple locations (physical or virtualized data centers and/or public cloud), some mechanism is required to distribute the user requests for content across all application instances to provide optimal experience. The applications may be in the same geographical location or in different geography.

Maintaining Your Data Center’s Agility and Making the Most Out of Your Investment in ADC Capacity

April 25, 2018 — by Fabio Palozza — 5

Deciding on an appropriate application delivery controller (ADC) and evaluating the need for supporting infrastructure is a complex, complicated, and challenging job. Such challenges result from the fact that ADCs are increasingly used across diverse environments and virtual, cloud, and physical appliances.

5G Security Challenges and Ways to Overcome Them

April 19, 2018 — by Fabio Palozza — 0

As the world waits for the introduction of 5G networks, the industry gears up to address the security challenges that may accompany 5G. The 5G networks would essentially promote the use of a huge number of interconnected devices, a tremendous increase in bandwidth, and collaborative functioning of legacy and new access technologies. Undoubtedly, the upcoming 5G environment would demand the deployment of additional security mechanisms to ensure business continuity. 5G systems are meant to be service-oriented, which is why it is important to address the security challenges appropriately and to focus on instilling stronger security and privacy settings in 5G networks.

An Overview of the TCP Optimization Process

April 10, 2018 — by Fabio Palozza — 0

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) drives major internet operations such as video streaming, file transfers, web browsing, and communications, accounting for very high percentages of fixed access internet traffic and even more of mobile internet traffic. Surprisingly, the TCP performance is yet to reach its full potential. Sub-optimal TCP performance translates into undesirable consequences for the communications service providers, who struggle hard to make the most out of expensive resources, to combat operational inefficiencies, and to provide a high quality of experience to the subscribers.

Automation is an interesting conversation that I have had with many of our customers lately, especially with cloud migration in play and DevOps processes with continuous development becoming prevalent.

Operational Visibility for Load Balanced Traffic in SDDC

March 13, 2018 — by Prakash Sinha — 0

Management and monitoring in Software Defined Data Centers (SDDC) benefit from automation principles, programmability, API and policy-driven provisioning of application environments through self-service templates. These best practices help application owners to define, manage and monitor their own environments, while benefiting from the performance, security, business continuity and monitoring infrastructure from the IT teams. SDDC also changes the way IT designs and thinks about infrastructure – the goal is to adapt to demands of continuous delivery needs of application owners in a “cloudy” world.
