Bare Metal, Containers, and Virtualization: The Growing Choices for Cloud Applications. The first one, on virtualizing the network, did highlight an important development regarding hardware offloads for Geneve, the next-generation network overlay encapsulation protocol. General Hardware IDF2014 Intel' Both were good sessions.

Servers/Hardware. Another interesting tidbit regarding hardware: it seems as if we are now seeing the emergence of another round of “hardware offloads.” This next round of hardware offloads seems targeted at network virtualization and related technologies. Operating Systems/Applications.

In the cases of both PCs and smartphones, Apple implemented a walled garden approach to establish complete control of hardware, OS, and applications. Microsoft for PC supremacy, and I see remarkable similarities from those days and today. It’s the Mobility Battle, Stupid.

Servers/Hardware. The Dell VRTX made its debut recently. Operating Systems/Applications. Here’s a decent two-part series about running Vyatta on VMware Workstation ( part 1 and part 2 ). Could we use OpenFlow to build better internet exchanges? Here’s one idea. Here’s a configuration example.

If there is one thing developers prize above all else today, it’s the option to run applications they want where they want, when they want. This is critical in a world increasingly given to distributed computing, where applications run within and outsideorganizations’ four walls. One way to do that is through bare metal servers.

Put simply, Open RAN is an attempt to disaggregate radio access network (RAN) functionality, by splitting up the hardware and software thus opening up the architectures and diversifying the supply chain for the radio portion of the network. applications. What is it? The remote radio units are provided by Fujitsu and NEC, LTE.

Speaking of Cumulus Linux…did you see the announcement that Dell has signed a reseller agreement with Cumulus Networks? Servers/Hardware. But for developers to get true isolation, application portability, the ability to re-create production environments in development—all that is going to require network virtualization.

(This post originally appeared on Direct2Dell, The Official Dell Corporate Blog) Enterprise storage is trending away from traditional, enterprise managed network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area networks (SAN) towards a more complex environment that includes software-defined and cloud-based solutions.

Speaking of Cumulus Linux, here’s a write-up on using Cumulus Linux on Dell Networking switches ; in particular, this article describes how to install Cumulus Linux on a Dell S6000-ON.
