Introducing Cisco HyperFlex Systems: The Next Generation in Complete Hypercon...Cisco Canada
Initial hyperconverged solutions brought new levels of IT simplicity, as well as the associated speed. However, quickly increasing simplicity came at a price and design trade-offs were made limiting infrastructure agility, efficiency, and adaptability.
Introducing Cisco HyperFlex Systems, complete hyperconvergence that unifies Cisco networking and computing technology with the next-generation Cisco HX Data Platform. Powered by the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) platform, Cisco HyperFlex solutions deliver new levels of operational efficiency and adaptability to more workloads and applications. Cisco HyperFlex technology answers the operations requirements for agility, scalability, and pay-as-you-grow economics of the cloud—but with the benefits of on-premises infrastructure.
Agenda:
• New innovations to the Cisco data center portfolio
• Introducing Cisco HyperFlex Systems powered by the Cisco UCS platform
• Deep dive into the Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform
• Preview early deployments of Cisco HyperFlex Systems
Platform Security Summit 18: Xen Security Weather Report 2018The Linux Foundation
The Xen Project is unique in its breadth of adoption and diverse contributions. Many vendors in the ecosystem are not directly competing, enabling collaboration which otherwise would not be possible. While hypervisors were once seen as purely cloud and server technologies, they are now used in many market segments to add compartmentalization and layers of security. This has led to renewed focus on older technologies, such as L4Re/seL4 and new technologies such as zircon, ACRN and others.
Meanwhile, the Xen Project has been trailblazing in adopting virtualization in new market segments and continues to innovate and set the direction for the industry. This has enabled downstream Xen developers to build viable businesses and products in areas such as security and embedded. This talk will cover Xen feature changes that are driven by security needs, and the challenges of safety certification within the context of open source projects and Xen Project in particular.

Achieving Network Deployment Flexibility with Mirantis OpenStackEric Zhaohui Ji
This is the deck presented for Intel Network Builder.
No longer do we live in a world where you can build your networks around expensive, proprietary pieces of hardware and software. Technology moves so fast that you need to be able to keep up, and that means changing your network on demand. But how can you achieve that kind of flexibility while still maintaining the crucial aspects of performance and reliability?
In this webinar we'll look at the network agility provided by OpenStack, which enables you to gain all of the advantages of software defined networking and Network Functions Virtualization without having to compromise on basic requirements. We'll discuss:
•How Mirantis OpenStack enables enterprise and telecom networking
•The features your OpenStack distribution needs to enable NFV
•Using DPDK and SR-IOV to enhance Virtual Network Function performance
•Achieving a Highly Available OpenStack control plane with Multi-rack deployment
In recent years unikernels have shown immense performance potential (e.g., boot times of only a few ms, image sizes of only hundreds of KBs).The fundamental drawback of unikernels is that they require that applications be manually ported to the underlying minimalistic OS, needing both expert work and often considerable amount of time.
The Unikraft project provides a unikernel code base and build system that significantly simplifies the building of unikernels. In addition to support for a number CPU architectures, languages and frameworks, Unikraft provides debugging and tracing features that are generally sorely missing from unikernel projects. In this talk we will talk about these features, show a set of preliminary performance numbers, and provide a roadmap for the project's future.
Modern warfare is undergoing dramatic change; we may have already witnessed our last conventional war. In light of disruptive technological evolution along with severe economic realities, we have reached a point where we must holistically reconsider our approach to specifying, procuring, and developing avionics systems. While efforts such as FACE hold great promise toward the future, we must also consider the role of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) technologies in the development of next generation avionics systems. This presentation will contemplate how commercial software products such as operating systems and middleware can contribute to maintaining our edge in the skies.

Virtualize Application Security Today - Hardware is No Longer Needed.pptxAvi Networks
IT security has been hardware-dependent due to the computational requirements to perform advanced security tasks like encryption and content inspection. But virtual compute resources have improved to the point that hardware-specific products are no longer necessary. The reliance on customized encryption chips and content scanning silicon limits one's ability to use cloud technologies and move to a modern application/containerized architecture. Physical appliances block the agility and elasticity that IT practitioners want from their virtual environments. Virtualized security technologies can be deployed without compromising the performance and protection of the applications and data. Attend this webinar to:
Understand how today's technology have made virtualized security possible
Discover how security features like TLS/SSL encryption can be scaled in virtual networks
Learn about virtual security solutions that provide comprehensive protection for your applications
Edge computing has been gaining popularity as it defines a model that brings compute and storage closer to where they are consumed by the end-user. By being closer to the end-user a better experience can be provided with a reduction in overall latency, lower bandwidth requirements, lower TCO, more flexible hardware/software model, while also ensuring security and reliability. In this talk, Abhishek discusses aligning Apache CloudStack with this evolving cloud computing model and supporting Edge Zones, which can be also looked upon as lightweight zones, with minimal resources.
Abhishek Kumar is a committer of the Apache CloudStack project and has worked on the notable features such as VM ingestion, CloudStack Kubernetes Service, IPv6 support, etc. He works as a Software Engineer at ShapeBlue.

Cloud Expo New York: OpenFlow Is SDN Yet SDN Is Not Only OpenFlowCohesive Networks
Cloud Expo New York: OpenFlow Is SDN Yet SDN Is Not Only OpenFlow
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new approach to networking, both to the data centre, and as a connection across data centers. SDN defines the networks in software, meaning designers can operate, control, and configure networks without physical access to the hardware. Effectively, SDN frees the network and applications from underlying hardware. New technologies are making it possible for enterprises to use virtualized networks over any type of hardware in any physical location - including unifying physical data centers and federating cloud-based data centers.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Patrick Kerpan, the CEO and co-founder of CohesiveFT, will highlight customer use cases to demonstrate a broader SDN definition.

Challenges with cloud implementation
• Takes several weeks to
onboard new customers
• Takes hours to set up a new
VM
• Requires expertise or need to
learn as you go
• Expensive and lengthy
professional services
engagement
• Each vendor only automates
their process, creating islands
• Lack overall visibility impacting
other vendors
• If one vendor fails, there are no
remedy actions across the
platform
Time Expertise Efficiency
Delays time to revenue
Shift to cloud first
technology – 30% growth
More than $1.3 trillion in IT
spending will be directly or
indirectly affected by the
shift to cloud
28% of cloud budgets:
consulting, implementation,
migration and managed

Our automation is based on the following design principles:
End to end automation approach
1. Planning
Network -> IPs, Hostnames,
VLANs, ASNs, Domainnames,
DNS, physical connections
Servers -> UEFI/Adaptor settings,
Performance tuning
Cluster -> number of nodes, tenant
assignment
Tenants -> Tenant name, cluster
assignment
Sites, Rack, physical infrastructure
2. Configuration
Network -> vlans on switches, IPs
in DNS, networks in IPAM
Servers -> initial system
configuration, firmware compliance,
tenant assignment, monitoring
3. Installation
Servers -> OS and platform
installation for dedicated tenant
with already planned parameters
4. Lifecycle
Firmware on hardware, rolling
upgrades
Patches for OS, rolling upgrades
Patches for Red Hat Platforms and
Tools
Meta Database/NetBox
Lenovo integrated meta DB to
provide all required information –
„source of truth“
Ansible / Tower / AWX
Lenovo xClarity/Confluent
connects to open APIs of switches
and servers for device discovery
and management
Lenovo xClarity
