Networking. The networking “old guard” likes to talk about how x86 servers and virtualization create network bottlenecks due to performance concerns, but as Ivan points out in this post , it’s rapidly becoming—or has already become—a non-issue. Operating Systems/Applications.

Networking. Paul Fries takes on defining SDN , breaking it down into two “flavors”: host dominant and network dominant. I’d like to add to Paul’s analysis that it’s important to understand that, in reality, host dominant and network dominant systems can coexist. What makes up a hybrid cloud?

Vamosi: So a vulnerable version of Bash provided an attacker the ability to pass untrusted code to other systems and processes. It’s like the operating system left the front door wide open to attackers. One of the more important features of any operating system is its shell. How did this happen?

Networking. If you’re interested in learning more about OpenFlow and software-defined networking but need to do this on a shoestring budget in your home lab, a number of guides have been written to help out. Also see the “Networking” section above for a related post on the networking aspects involved.

You know with modern vehicles, they're actually becoming like they're running on bluetooth, they're running the Android operating system. Vamosi: What unites these microcontrollers is not an operating system, rather it's a bus. A bus is a communication system that transfers data between components. What's that?

Networking. Looks like this is another tool I need to add to my toolbox as I continue to explore networking technologies like OpenFlow, Open vSwitch, and others. I also found references to running CFEngine on network apliances and running Chef on Arista switches. Operating Systems/Applications. Great job, Brad.

This Technology Short Take is a bit heavy on the networking side, but I suppose that’s understandable given my recent job change. Networking. Ben Cherian, Chief Strategy Officer for Midokura, helps make a case for network virtualization. Note: Midokura makes a network virtualization solution.) Am I wrong?
