Introduction: It’s called “east-west” networking, which when compared to its predecessor, “north-south” networking, evinces images of maelstroms and hurricane winds and tsunamis for some reason. It could be the subtle correlation between the transformative shift this change in networking patterns has on the data center with that of El Niño’s transformative power upon the weather patterns across the globe. Traditionally, data center networks have focused on North-South network traffic. The assumption is that clients on the edge would mainly communicate with servers at the core, rather than across the network to other clients. But server virtualization changes all this, with servers, virtual appliances and even virtual desktops scattered across the same physical infrastructure.

5 The advent of cloud and virtualization has made it such that integration of cloud-hosted resources is becoming more and more appealing, if not already a done deal. [sent-8, score-0.262]

Introduction: With all the attention being paid these days to VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) and application virtualization and server virtualization andvirtualization it’s easy to forget about network-based application virtualization. But it’s the one virtualization technique you shouldn’t forget because it is a foundational technology upon which myriad other solutions will be enabled. WHAT IS NETWORK-BASED APPLICATION VIRTUALIZATION? This term may not be familiar to you but that’s because since its inception oh, more than a decade ago, it’s always just been called “server virtualization”. After the turn of the century (I love saying that, by the way) it was always referred to as service virtualization in SOA and XML circles. With the rise of the likes of VMware and Citrix and Microsoft server virtualization solutions, it’s become impossible to just use the term “server virtualization” and “service virtualization” is just as ambiguous so it seems appropriate to giv

Introduction: Too often software design patterns are overlooked by network and application delivery network architects but these patterns are often equally applicable to addressing a broad range of architectural challenges in the application delivery tier of the data center. By Lori Mac Vittie, F5 Networks The “ High Scalability ” blog is fast becoming one of my favorite reads. Last week did not disappoint with a post highlighting a set of scalability design patterns that was, apparently, inspired by yet another High Scalability post on “ 6 Ways to Kill Your Servers: Learning to Scale the Hard Way. ” Credit:Michael Chow/azcentral.com This particular post caught my attention primarily because although I’ve touched on many of these patterns in the past, I’ve never thought to call them what they are: scalability patterns. That’s probably a side-effect of forgetting that building an architecture of any kind is at its core computer science and thus

Introduction: When you’re looking to add new tank mates to an existing aquarium ecosystem, one of the concerns you must have is whether a particular breed of fish is amenable to conspecific cohabitants. Many species are not, which means if you put them together in a confined space, they’re going to fight. Viciously. To the death. Responsible aquarists try to avoid such situations, so careful attention to the conspecificity of animals is a must. Now, while in many respects the data center ecosystem correlates well to an aquarium ecosystem, in this case it does not. It’s what you usually get, today, but its not actually the best model. That’s because what you want in the data center ecosystem – particularly when it extends to include public cloud computing resources – is conspecificity in infrastructure. This desire and practice is being seen both in enterprise data center decision making as well as in startups suddenly dealing with massive growth and increasingly encountering pe

Introduction: Ivan Pepelnjak (CCIE#1354 Emeritus) is Chief Technology Advisor at NIL Data Communications , author of numerous webinars and advanced networking books , and a prolific blogger . He’s focusing on data center and cloud networking, network virtualization, and scalable application design. OpenFlow is an interesting emerging networking technology appearing seemingly out of nowhere with much hype and fanfare in March 2011. More than a year later, there are two commercial products based on OpenFlow ( NEC’s Programmable Flow and Nicira’s Network Virtualization Platform ) and probably less than a dozen production-grade implementations (including Google’s G-Scale network and Indiana University’s campus network ). Is this an expected result for an emerging technology or another case of overhyped technology hitting limits imposed by reality? OpenFlow-based solutions have to overcome numerous problems every emerging technology is facing, in OpenFlow’s case ranging from compatibili

Introduction: This and the next post will discuss how virtualization and cloud computing, as we know it today, is only a small part of the solution for today’s IT inefficiencies. While new technologies and delivery models have made it much simpler to manage the infrastructure, this is not where our core inefficiencies lie. Virtualization principles must be extended to higher levels of the application stack, to make it easier for all of us to manage, tune and integrate applications. Otherwise we will continue to spend most of our time on things that don’t provide real value to the business. Read the full article here

Introduction: Update: VcubeV - an OpenVPN-based solution designed to build and operate a multisourced infrastructure. True high availability requires a presence in multiple data centers. The recent downtime of even a high quality operation like Amazon makes this need all the more clear. Typically only the big boys can afford the complexity of operating in two or more data centers. Cloud computing along with utility billing starts to change that equation, leveling the playing field. Even smaller outfits will be in a position to manage risk by spreading machines amongst EC2, 3tera, Slicehost, Mosso and other providers. The question then becomes: given we aren't Angels, how do we walk amongst the clouds? One fascinating answer is exquisitely explained by Dmitriy Samovskiy in his Linux Journal article titled Building a Multisourced Infrastructure Using OpenVPN . Dmitriy's idea is to create a secure UDP tunnel between different data centers over public internet links so your applicatio

Introduction: Facebook has been teasing us. While many of their recent acquisitions have been surprising, shocking is the only word adequately describing Facebook's 5 day whirlwind acquisition of Oculus , immersive virtual reality visionaries, for a now paltry sounding $2 billion. The backlash is a pandemic, jumping across social networks with the speed only a meme powered by the directly unaffected can generate. For more than 30 years VR has been the dream burning in the heart of every science fiction fan. Now that this future might finally be here, Facebook’s ownage makes it seem like a wonderful and hopeful timeline has been choked off, killing the Metaverse before it even had a chance to begin. For the many who voted for an open future with their Kickstarter dollars , there’s a deep and personal sense of betrayal, despite Facebook’s promise to leave Oculus alone. The intensity of the reaction is because Oculus matters to people. It's new, it's different, it create
