Jointly authored by VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Intel, this new protocol proposal attempts to bring together the strengths of the various network virtualization encapsulation protocols out there today (VXLAN, STT, NVGRE). Via Kevin Houston, you can get more details on the Intel E7 v2 and new blade servers based on the new CPU.

News in the OpenStack space hasn’t been so good recently (Intel pulling out of OSIC, various companies laying off folks, other “pure play” companies shifting focus away from OpenStack), but here’s one architect’s perspective on what you may still want to attend the OpenStack Summit. Operating Systems/Applications.

The Chromebook Duet’s base model has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. I tested the $299 version, which has the same processor and RAM but 128GB of storage. Power-wise, it’s closer to a budget Snapdragon smartphone processor than the Intel chips you’ll find in nice Chromebooks. The usual Chrome OS caveats apply.

Jeda Networks describes themselves as a “software-defined storage networking” company. Given my previous role at EMC (involved in storage) and my current role at VMware focused on network virtualization (which encompasses SDN), I was quite curious. Diablo Technologies.

You may have heard of Intel Rack-Scale Architecture (RSA), a new approach to designing data center hardware. This is an idea that was discussed extensively a couple of weeks ago at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2014 in San Francisco, which I had the opportunity to attend. Silicon photonics as a low-latency, high-speed rack-scale fabric.

Woods: If you think about the overall system, within which some of these devices live. There has to be storage somewhere so even sensors, end up sending their data someplace that has to be stored, and that might be in the cloud, for instance, which is increasingly a part of the Internet of Things. It's still a threat.

DCAP systems are designed to automatically identify and solve problems related to the storage and use of data. For example, data classifiers built into the operating system do not have enough context to allow them to prioritize checking for recently modified files or data that has appeared in public folders.

” The speaker is Mohan Kumar, a Sr Principal Engineer with Intel. Kumar mentions that Krzanich mentions rack-scale architecture (RSA, not to be confused with a security company of the same name) as one of three pillars of accelerating the data center, and this session will be diving a bit deeper on rack-scale architecture.

This article on eBPF and Isovalent (the company behind the Cilium CNI plugin for Kubernetes) has some statements with which I agree, and some that don’t make sense to me. Even worse, this isn’t just limited to Intel chips, but may also affect ARM-based systems like Apple’s M1 CPUs. Check out cloudlist.

This is a liveblog for the day 1 keynote at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2014. Among the accomplishments Krzanich lists, he mentions that Intel was the #2 shipper of tablets last year. At this point Krzanich hands it off to Diane Bryant, SVP and GM of the Data Center Group at Intel. One would assume that Apple is #1.)

Intel has released a security advisory for BlueZ , which is related to Bluetooth support in the Linux kernel. I know that Docker Hub must consume enormous resources for the company (and thus has a large associated cost), but limiting the ubiquity of Docker Hub—and thus driving developers/users elsewhere—seems shortsighted.
